THE TAKE

Alba Berlin hosts Banca Tercas Teramo in the German capital on Tuesday to start off their respective 2009-10 Eurocup campaigns. The two teams enter the competition on very different notes, as Teramo successfully fought through the Eurocup Qualifying Round while Alba was eliminated from the Euroleague qualification. Alba, therefore, will look to its raucous home crowd to counterbalance the winning momentum Teramo carries in after surviving the qualification round. The contest offers interesting match-ups at every position. Both squads rely on three-guard rotations. Alba is led by shooting guard Julius Jenkins, who averaged 17.3 points in four Euroleague qualifying games. The sharp-shooter is flanked by point guard Rashad Wright and supported by Steffen Hamann, who comes off the bench to direct the team. Teramo counters with guards Guiseppe Poeta and Drake Diener, who both averaged over 10 points in the qualifying series versus Apoel Nicosia. Guard Ryan Hoover is another solid backcourt contributor for the Italian squad. At forward for Alba, Immanuel McElroy provides leadership and proven scoring ability. He has averaged more than 10 points in all four of his previous European campaigns. Alba can also call on Dragan Dojcin and Kenan Bajramovic for big contributions at the forward spot. Teramo has good balance at forward with Bobby Jones focusing on scoring and power option Goran Jurak offering veteran cunning and dirty work in the blocks. Jones was Teramo's leading scorer with 16 points in the decisive second leg of their qualification series versus Apoel, and Jurak brings with him the valuable experience of having played with several Euroleague clubs. If the game gets decided in the low post, there are some likely protagonists: for Alba, big men Adam Chubb and Blagota Sekulic, a 2007 ULEB Cup champion with Real Madrid; and for Teramo, Valerio Amoroso and James Thomas, who was the Euroleague's second-best rebounder three seasons ago. Of course, the x-factor in this game could be the Alba crowd, usually 10,000 or more filling state-of-the-art o2 World with cheers, banners and yellow clothing. They will try to lift Alba higher and to make sure Teramo has plenty to overcome for a chance at the Game 1 road upset.

Alba Berlin had a thrilling return to the Eurocup in Group A by edging Banca Tercas Teramo 75-73 in front of more than 10,000 fans at the O2 World in the German capital on Tuesday night.

Immanuel McElroy, Blagota Sekulic and Steffen Hamann each added 10 for Alba. Ryan Hoover and Drake Diener each had 15 points for Teramo while Valerio Amoroso added 14 for the guests, that rallied from a nine-point deficit in the third quarter to get a 59-60 lead early in the fourth quarter. Teramo soon boosted its margin to 62-67 on a three-pointer by Giuseppe Poeta but a 6-0 run brought Alba back to life. It all came down to the final minute, as free throws by Poeta and Diener tied it at 73-73. Alba called timeout but Jenkins missed a layup. Dojcin and McElroy missed around the basket, but Dojcin stepped up with the game-winning basket right at the buzzer.

Virgil Stanescu got Teramo going with a three-pointer while Diener also struck from downtown for a 2-6 Teramo lead. Jenkins joined the three-point shootout and soon added a layup to give Alba its first lead, 7-6. Amoroso buried a triple and even when Adam Chubb scored inside, free throws by Poeta put Teramo back ahead, 9-11. Jesse Young took over with a dunk but a layup by Hamann and a put-back basket by Dojcin tied it at 13-13. Young scored around the basket but McElroy matched that with foul shots. Goran Jurak sank a jumper and Hoover did even better with a bomb from downtown, good for a 15-20 Teramo lead at the end of the first quarter. Jenkins downed his second three-pointer early in the second period but a layup-plus-foul by Jurak kept the guests ahead, 19-23. A red hot Jenkins set the crowd on fire with consecutive bombs from downtown that tied it at 25-25. Hoover fired in a three-pointer but a layup by Blagota Sekulic and a big triple by Rashad Wright completed the hosts' comeback, 30-28. Sekulic kept pacing Alba with free throws while McElroy joined the three-point shootout in a 12-0 run that Jenkins capped with a layup off a steal, good for a 37-28 lead. Diener stepped up with a basket and soon added a triple to give Teramo some hope at 37-33. A free throw by Wright fixed the halftime score at 38-33.

Amoroso buried his second triple immediately after the break and even when Jenkins sank his trademark jumper, Stanescu scored inside to keep Teramo as close as 40-38. Sekulic and Diener traded layups but Teramo kept missing easy shots and committing turnovers now. Meanwhile, McElroy downed a three-pointer while Hamann fed Chubb for an easy basket and added a layup that boosted Alba's lead to 49-40. Amoroso rescued Teramo with back-to-back triples while Hoover tied the game, 49-49, with another shot from downtown. A three-point play by Hamann and three-pointers by Wright and Diener fixed the score at 57-57 after 30 minutes. Derrick Byars found his first points on a put-back layup by Hoover bettered that with a triple to give Teramo a 59-60 edge. Chubb shined with a three-point play, as Teramo went scoreless for 2 minutes and called a much-needed timeout. Young stepped up with a put-back basket, igniting a 0-7 run that Poeta capped with a triple for a 62-67 Teramo deficit. Wright and Sekulic stepped up for Alba while free throws by Kenan Barjamovic provided another lead change, 68-67. Amoroso shined with a layup that Hamann bettered with a key triple. Free throws by Poeta tied it at 71-71 with a minute left. McElroy sank a jumper but foul shots by Diener made Alba call timeout at 73-73. Jenkins tried to score in penetration, Dojcin and McElroy missed around the basket but Dojcin beat the buzzer to win it for Alba.

PAVICEVIC, LUKA
Alba Berlin
"Teramo is the second best offensive rebounding team in Italy and throughout the first three quarters suffered from that. This is a team that shoots high percentages and we all saw what happens when you give them second chances. Our defense was not bad, but we did not complete it to the end, so they too often found shots from outside. In our last offense we basically opened the court for Julius Jenkins to create a shot for himself or for someone else. If he missed, we were ready to play overtime. He took a good shot, but I think he was very quick and took his shot too early, but this ended up well, because it allowed us after his miss to get the two tips and finally the last offensive rebound and the score by Dragan Dojcin, which won the game. It's very important that we stay calm in these situations and find our way."
CAPOBIANCO, ANDREA
BancaTercas Teramo
"We played a great game against a big team. Unfortunately we once again lost a game with a buzzer beater. Watching the tapes of Alba we recognized that they are a very organized team, especially good on the pick-and-roll and that they are very good when they can pass the ball to their big men. We wanted to erase these situations from their game. I am very proud of my players, who once again played another very intense game after the one we played on Saturday in the Italian League against Milan. At the moment we are very sad, because it was not the first time this season, that we lost at the buzzer after playing a great game. This is the time to keep fighting and working hard and we hope that in the game in Teramo we will be luckier than Alba."

DOJCIN, DRAGAN
Alba Berlin
"This was a very important win for us against Teramo, which is a very, very good offensive team. Their offense stretched our defense to the limits. They scored so many huge three-point shots and had the game under control in the second half. Fortunately we were able to hit back by improving our rebounding. In the end I only looked for the ball and the stroke."
DIENER, DRAKE
BancaTercas Teramo
"We normally shoot the ball very well, but tonight in Berlin, I think we played pretty well. When we were up by 5 with two minutes left, I thought 'we have to finish the game,' but we did not do that and in the end we were unlucky, because the ball bounced in the wrong direction. I think Berlin was probably picked to be the best team in our group and therefore we can take confidence from this close loss. We only have to learn to finish our games."
