At the BBL final between FC Bayern Basketball and Ratiopharm Ulm, the sporty is becoming more and more into the background. Now Bayern explains and refutes some of the Ulm poisoning arrows.
The favorite presents the researcher. The FC Bayern basketball players prevailed in a competitive first final of the BBL with 82:66 against Ratiopharm Ulm.
The game was a competitive duel at eye level over long distances, in which the Ulm indicated that they could also follow their announcements.
Bayern Munich and Ratiopharm Ulm are facing a competitive final series
The two top talents Noa Essengue and Ben Saraf had already said during the semi -final series against Würzburg in a press round for Sport1 demand that they wanted to say goodbye to the Ulm championship towards NBA.
Of all things, the two are currently in the headlines. Despite the high sporting relevance of the game, it was hardly about sporting topics. Rather, even after game one, everything was still about the appointment chaos of the series and the hard accusations of the Ulmer.
BBL reacts to the game plan-Zoff
Background: The Basketball Bundesliga had finally rejected an application by the Ulm to adapt the game plan for the final round for the German championship.
The league must “always move as part of the game regulations applicable to all clubs,” said the BBL in a statement on Monday. “After the two clubs could not agree in the current case”, it was at the discretion of the league whether there was a “game regulation for” important reason ‘”, the statement said.
The Ulm wanted to move some final games because the encounters four and five overlap with the NBA draft on June 26 in Brooklyn, which would like to take part in the Essen Gue and Saraf.
“Ridiculous!” Ulm moves in the game plan Causa
Incidentally, the league rejected the application for relocation that FC Bayern has nothing to do with the first decision. This is also why Ulm’s sports director Thorsten Leibenath also protected the final opponent at the Bavarian Radio : “The error is not with Bayern on this topic, but rather at the league.”
One would have talked to Bayern about various possibilities of shifts, but without success. And that is exactly what Leibenath brought one after game one: “With which I have a problem when I hear, the hall is occupied. Because that seems extremely ridiculous to me,” Leibenath continues.
Thorsten Leibenath is extremely annoyed by the appointment chaos in the BBL
“I don’t have to react to such a bullshit, we all know that this is only advanced. Should the Munich people say that we have a little bit of respect for the Ulmen, we prefer to play against those when Saraf and Essengue are not there,” Leibenath continued to be annoyed.
Specifically, it is about laying the possible game five from Thursday to Wednesday. According to Sport1 information, the Munich SAP -Garden is really not available to Munich on this day. This emerges from an email from the operating company that is available to the editorial team.
Bavaria’s new basketball temple has been blocked that Wednesday by an internal event that cannot be postponed. A move for such a significant game in Bavaria’s old hall, the almost half as large BMW park, is not an option for the master.
Bavaria rejects Ulm accusations
This is also why Bayern did not want to leave the opponent’s accusations. On the request of Sport1 , the association said that one would have been ready to find a solution. However, all other proposed appointments of the Ulm would not have been acceptable.
In total there would have been three specific suggestions. Bayern even approved the first if the hall was available on Wednesday. Accordingly, a possible game four would have been relocated from Tuesday to Monday and a possible fifth game from Thursday to Wednesday.
The two other suggestions from the Ulm came up with little love among Bayern. Suggestion one: Games three, four and five should take place on Thursday/Friday, Sunday and Tuesday, instead of Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday. FC Bayern rejected this because he would have sold almost 8,000 tickets on Saturday for the game three, all of which were tied to Saturday as a game date.
The second proposal was also not acceptable for Bayern, the association said. Accordingly, Ulm would have brought into play a possible game four in Ulm on Sunday, i.e. one day after game three.
The then 82nd competitive game of the season in a back-to-back is irresponsible from the Munich perspective due to the high risk of injury.
BBL teams voted several times for the current schedule
In the Bavarian warehouse, you also do not see yourself responsibility because the scheduling of the game plan is a decision of the league.
One reason for this is that the decision about the five possible appointments of the finals was made by the BBL before the season. The BBL framework schedule for games four and five are also the 24th and 26th June as a permanent game date.
This dates were coordinated by the clubs before the season, just like the return to the mode 1-1-1-1-1-1, i.e. the change of home right after each game. This change in particular also caused trouble at Bayern star Andi Obst.
It should have been clear months ago that the dates mentioned overlap with the NBA draft. The event traditionally always takes place on the last Thursday of Junis.
According to Sport1 information, there should also have been a coordination between the teams before the playoffs whether the appointments and the mode should be adjusted. The majority voted again for the well -known framework schedule.
Pesic shoots back: “Bavaria is pushed into a corner”
However, the decision cannot be understood for the Ulm. Even before the final, the association had sued in a press release that the talents had to choose “between their dreams” and communicated: “The BBL decision throws shadows on the final series.”
Bavaria boss Marko Pesic was surprised by this public discussion, as he explained before the first final game at Dyn : “I think that the smartest would not be commenting for all of us at all. I hope you get someone from the BBL and he should stand here and explain what actually happened.”

Pesic could not refrain from at least a small poison arrow towards Ulm: “I have already experienced a lot of things. Often in the series against Berlin. Any statement that mood is made, Bavaria is pushed into a corner.”
The current case would achieve a completely new dimension again, can be heard from the club. With Bayern, the opponent’s great theater could be understood little.
Ulm coach complains: “Hate it that you have to worry so much”
What game one of the series clearly showed: The theater around her person does not seem to go past the two Ulm super talents without a trace. Saraf and Essengue delivered their weakest appearance of the playoffs by far.
Saraf came to two points (1/8 from the field) and an assist in just 13 minutes. So far, the 19-year-old convinced in the playoffs with 12.1 points and 3.9 assists in 23 minutes. Essengue came to three points against Bayern (1/4 from the field) and two rebounds in 15 minutes and was therefore well below its previous average of 12.2 points and 6.8 rebounds in 22 minutes.
Ben Saraf experienced a day in game one of the final series to forget
This is also why Ulm’s coach Ty Harrelson made it clear on the PK after the game that he is quite concerned about his protégés: “It is an unfortunate situation and unfortunately it concerns the two very much.”
A final to play a championship is an as unique situation as to be drafted into the NBA. “As things are going, it brings it into an extremely difficult situation. Of course we have to play the games now. But I hate that they have to worry about it,” said Harrelson.
Already now that this appointment chaos actually only knows losers. Instead of full focus on the duel of the FCBB top stars against the super talent from Ulm, the BBL final threatens to deteriorate into a dirty mud fight.

Background: The Basketball Bundesliga Had Definitive Reacted A Request From Ulm to Adjust the Schedule for the Final Round of the German Championship.
The League Must “Always Operate Within The Framework Of The Game Regulations that Apply to All Clubs,” The BBl Said in A Statement on Monday. “After the Two Clubs Could not Agree in the Current Case,” It is up to the League to Determine Whether there is a “Game Regulation for ‘Important Reason’,” The Statement Continued.
Ulm Wanted to Postpone Some Final Games Matches Four and Five Overlap With The Nba Draft on June 26 in Brooklyn, which Essengue and Saraf would like to attend on site.
“Ridiculous!” Ulm Follows Up in Schedule Matter
The League Rejected the Request for Postponement, by the Way, and FC Bayern Has Nothing to do with the first fundamental Decision Made. This is so why ulm’s Sporting Director Thorsten Leibenath Initally Defended the Final Opponent on Bavarian Radio : “The Mistake in This Matter Lies not with Bayern, but Rather with the League.”
They would have discussed Various Possibilities of Postponements with Bayern Anyway, but Without Success. And that’s exactly what what Angered Leibenath After Game One: “What i have a problem with is what that the hall is occupied.
Thorsten Leibenath is extremely annoyed about the scheduling chaos in the bbl
“I don’t have to react to search bullshit, we all know That’s this is just an excuse. Munich Should just say that we have a little respect for ulm, we prefer to play against though saraf and food are not there,” Leibenath Continued Angrily.
Specifically, it is about postponing the possible game Five from Thursday to Wednesday. According to Sport1 Information, The Munich Team’s Home Sap Garden is Really Not Available on that Day. This is evident from an email from the operating company that is available to the editorial team.
Bayern’s New Basketball Temple is blocked on that Wednesday by an internal event that Cannot Be Postponed. A Move for Such to Important Game to Bayern’s Old Hall, The BMW Park, which is Almost Half the Size, is not an option for the champion.

FC Bayern Rejected This Because They had already Sold 8.000 Tickets for Game Three On Saturday, All of which Were Tied to Saturday as the Date of the Game.
The Second Proposal what Unacceptable to Bayern, The Club Said. Accordingly, Ulm would have brought into play to play a possible game four in ulm on Sunday, Ie One Day after game three.

BBL Teams Voted Several Times for the Current Schedule
The Bayern Camp So Does Not See Itself as Responsible, as the Scheduling of the Schedule is a Decision of the League.
