Johannes Thiemann Faces Challenges Adapting to Bundesliga Routine After Historic World Cup Win
German national basketball player Johannes Thiemann is finding it a bit challenging to transition back to the routine of the Bundesliga after the historic World Cup victory. "It was very difficult to come down from that high and get back in shape for the start of the season. Getting back into the groove has been tough. I'm highly motivated to go after it with Alba again, but it's not an easy situation," said the Berlin team's captain on Monday.
Thiemann described the period following the significant World Cup triumph on September 10th in Manila as "extremely eventful." He said, "There was so much going on – press commitments, team activities, which were really cool but also very exhausting. It was non-stop action." Just 18 days later, Thiemann and his teammates are gearing up for their Bundesliga season opener against MLP Academics Heidelberg on Thursday (8:00 PM/Dyn).
"It's a significant switch – going from 'you've just played the most important games of your life' to a regular BBL game," Thiemann admitted, adding, "But this switch needs to work. We want to compete for titles this season and have a better run in the playoffs than last year." In the previous season, Alba was eliminated in the quarterfinals by eventual champions ratiopharm Ulm.

This season, the favorite for the championship is Bayern Munich. While Alba has seen key players like Maodo Lo and Luke Sikma depart, Munich has strengthened its roster with additions like Serge Ibaka, an NBA champion with the Toronto Raptors in 2019. "They have certainly bolstered their lineup. That's a definite statement," Thiemann acknowledged, "But nevertheless, in previous years, they've had strong squads, and we've still managed to beat them."
