Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.
Leader Chemnitz delivered the twelfth win on Tuesday night. This time they crushed 17th ranked Hakro Merlins (2-11) 95-67. Chemnitz made 25-of-33 free shots (75.8 percent) during the game. They also forced 21 Crailsheim turnovers. Chemnitz looked well-organized offensively handing out 27 assists. 24 personal fouls committed by Crailsheim helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Kevin Yebo (207-1996) fired 20 points and 8 rebounds for the winners. American forward Jeff Garrett (201-1994, college: LSUS, agency: Players Group) chipped in 16 points and 11 rebounds. American guard Keandre Cook (194-1997, college: Missouri St.) produced 16 points (made all of his eight free throws) for lost side. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Chemnitz (12-1) have an impressive series of twelve victories in a row. They maintain first place. Crailsheim lost third consecutive game. They keep the seventeenth position with 11 games lost. They share it with Heidelberg. Chemnitz are looking forward to face ALBA (#8) in Berlin in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Crailsheim will play at home against Hamburg (#9) and is hoping to prove to their supporters that they can break losing series.
We should mention about the upset which took place in Rostock, where higher ranked Telekom Baskets (9-6) lost to eleventh ranked Seawolves (6-6) in a road game 92-98. Worth to mention a great performance of American Derrick Alston Jr (206-1997, college: Boise St.) who helped to win the game recording 22 points. Wes Clark contributed with 13 points and 7 assists for the winners. Seawolves’ coach Christian Held allowed to play the deep bench players saving starting five for next games. American point guard Glynn Watson Jr (183-1997, college: Nebraska) answered with 22 points and 6 assists for Bonn. The victory was the third consecutive win for Seawolves. Rostock moved-up to tenth place. Bonn at the other side dropped to the fourth position with six games lost. Rostock will play against higher ranked Vechta (#7) on the road in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Bonn will have a break next round.
The game with biggest result difference took place in Weissenfels. Local MBC (4-10) was outscored by second ranked ratiopharm Ulm (10-3) 107-75 on Friday night. Trevion Williams stepped up with a double-double by scoring 22 points and 11 rebounds for the winners. At the losing side Johnathan Stove responded with 20 points and 6 rebounds. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Ulm maintains second place with 10-3 record having just two points less than leader Chemnitz. Weissenfels lost their third game in a row. They keep the fifteenth position with ten games lost. Ulm will meet at home Braunschweig (#12) in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Weissenfels will have a break next round.
