Ulm raises accusations: Bavaria and BBL endanger superstar dreams!

In the world of German basketball, the final series of the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) between FC Bayern Munich and the Ulm team ensures high waves. The Ulm react with clear criticism to the relenty of the BBL and FC Bayern in relation to possible adjustments to the game plan. The important topic revolves around the participation of two decisive players, Noa Essengue and Ben Saraf, at the upcoming games that collide with the NBA draft.

With the first game of the final series, which Bayern won 82:66, the teams opened an exciting exchange of blows. But the joy over the start of the best-of-five series is overshadowed by the upcoming challenge. Ulm had submitted an application to change appointment for the games four and five, which are to take place on June 24th and 26th, to enable their players to participate in the NBA draft on June 25th and 26th in New York. However, this application was rejected by the BBL, which led to great disappointment in Ulm, such as sportschau.de.

The conflict about the game plans

Thorsten Leibenath, the sports director of Ulm, did not leave good hair on the BBL's decision. He described the refusal to adapt the games as irresponsible and expressed lack of understanding that the league did not want to bring the best players to the floor at the crucial moment. "The BBL failed to take care of the interests of the players and teams," said Leibenath.

In addition, Small Forward Karim Jallow has also given his displeasure with the situation. This attitude is supported by other voices, such as the Ulm Center and NBA star Isaiah Hartenstein, who is active as an investor for the Ulm team. Hartenstein demanded that the league should act more flexibly to promote German basketball as a whole. "It would be an important signal if the BBL were to accommodate the Ulmen," he added, as on FOCUS.de can be read.

The consequences for Ulm

The BBL and FC Bayern, according to the NBA-Drafts, is not a “important reason” for changing appointments. However, this procedure sees Ulm as a significant weakening of her team. Essengue and Saraf play a key role for the team and could be missing in the decisive games. Essengue is even acted as a potential top 10 pick for the draft, while Saraf is the first Israeli in the history of the draft.

"We proposed a compromise to prefer the fourth matchday to one day, but that was also rejected," said Leibenath. Bavaria's answer that the SAP Garden Halle was on the desired date was sharply criticized by him: "This is extremely ridiculous and edible." Despite these statements, FC Bayern and the BBL have not publicly commented on the allegations.

While the discussion about the game plan is coming, it remains to be seen whether Ulm will take further measures. A quick end to these controversy could mean a victory in Ulm and another successful appearance of FC Bayern, which could end the discussion about the title of Best-of-Five series. But the question remains: In which line -up will Ulm go into the decisive games and will you lose your two stars in the final?
