Rostock (dpa/mv) - After four defeats in a row in the basketball Bundesliga, the Rostock Seawolves finally want to celebrate a win again at the old place of work of their coaching duo. With a view to the special features of the game on Sunday (3 p.m.) at EWE Baskets Oldenburg, head coach Christian Held made it clear that it was a game like any other. "When the game starts, it's the same as always. There are so many things that happen on the basketball court and you have to pay attention to them. That's the full focus," emphasized the coach, who was team manager in the 2008/2009 season had been involved in winning the German championship in Oldenburg, while his father accompanied the team at the time as an assistant coach.
This season, Held counts the hosts, under their new coach Pedro Calles, as one of the four top teams in the BBL: "The club has developed extremely over the past few years and is one of the most professional in the entire league." That's why it's a difficult game for his team. "We have to focus on our strengths and play the game quickly. My players feel good when they start running. Oldenburg, on the other hand, feels good when their opponents are slowed down."
