The master is right on the road to success. In the first basketball victory of the new season, the Ulm team also compensated for significant losses.
As expected, the German basketball champion ratiopharm Ulm started the new Bundesliga season with a win.
17 days after Germany’s first World Cup title, the Ulm team laboriously prevailed against the Niners Chemnitz with 90:85 (51:42) and thus achieved the desired start – at least in terms of results. In the first game of the season, none of the twelve German world champions were on the floor. Johannes Thiemann and Alba Berlin start on Thursday, the three Munich players Andreas Obst, Niels Giffey and Isaac Bonga start on Friday.
Bayern with new signing Ibaka is considered the favorite for the championship
Before the start of the game, the Ulm team celebrated their first Bundesliga title win again and hoisted the championship banner under the ceiling of the arena in Neu-Ulm. Karim Jallow (16 points) and Nicolas Bretzel (13) were the best throwers of coach Anton Gavel’s team. In Yago dos Santos and Bruno Caboclo, the Ulm team had to give up important key players from their title season this summer.
The favorite to win the championship is FC Bayern, who strengthened themselves this summer with former NBA champion Serge Ibaka. Ulm against Chemnitz was the first basketball league game that was broadcast by the new sports channel Dyn as the successor to Magentasport. Last weekend, Dyn had already broadcast the start of the BBL Cup.
