Alba Berlin Struggles in Final Bundesliga Preseason Match

In a disappointing conclusion to their preseason, Alba Berlin faced a significant setback as they lost to the Polish team King Wilki Morskie Szczecin with a score of 75 to 95. This match took place just one week before the commencement of the Bundesliga season, raising concerns about the team's readiness for competitive play.

The game was marked by a particularly challenging second quarter for Alba, during which they fell behind, ultimately leading to their defeat. Notable performances came from players Norris Agbakoko, who scored 13 points, and J'Wan Roberts, contributing 10 points to the team's total.

Prior to this match, Alba Berlin had participated in a three-day training camp in Kienbaum, which was intended to prepare the team for the upcoming season. The overall record of the team during the preseason has been mixed, showcasing strong performances against Bundesliga rivals such as the Veolia Towers Hamburg and Löwen Braunschweig, yet struggling against international teams, including Unicaja Malaga, Real Madrid, and now Szczecin.

As the Bundesliga season approaches, Alba Berlin will have to regroup and strategize effectively. Their official league debut is scheduled for October 3, where they will host the newly promoted Gladiators Trier. This upcoming match will be crucial for the team as they aim to turn their preseason challenges into a strong start in the league.
