THE TAKE

A big showdown for a spot in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague second Qualifying Round is set to take in Berlin, Germany, where Alba hosts Chorale Roanne on Friday at 20:00 CET. Roanne has a seven-point lead in the two-way series due to its 86-79 home win in Game 1, so everything can happen in the second game. Pape Philippe Amagou led Roanne with 22 points, making the most out of his athleticism and quickness in a twin point guard lineup that also featured Souleyman Diabate. Amagou must once again take advantage of his explosiveness against Marko Marinovic, an experienced playmaker ready to change the game with his shots from downtown. Hollis Price offers court sense and determination off the bench. Julius Jenkins led Alba with 18 points on Tuesday - but went scoreless in the fourth quarter. He is set to step up, just as usual, in front of his team's fans. Chorale relies on KC Rivers to make the difference in Berlin. He had 5 unanswered points in the final minute of Game 1 to give Roanne the lead in the series. Rivers will not have it easy against defensive stopper Immanuel McElroy. Chorale can count on combo guard Alex Gordon to provide instant offense off the bench while Alba can use streak shooter Lucca Staiger and swingman Bryce Taylor. Alba must stop center Uche Nsonwu to improve its chance to advance. Nsonwu leads a frontcourt that also features Alexis Tanghe, Alex Dunn and versatile forward Jean-Michel Mipoka, who is ready for an interesting matchup against talented big man Tadija Dragicevic. Alba has its frontcourt reference in Derrick Allen but relies on two experienced big men, Patrick Femerling and Sven Schultze, to make the difference. Alba must control the game tempo, get Allen involved and Stopo Amagou to reach the next round. Roanne must play physical at expect a big game from Rivers.

Julius Jenkins - Alba Berlin - Finals 2010 Vitoria-GasteizGerman powerhouse Alba Berlin will continue trying to return to the Turkish Airlines Euroleague after rallying to win its first qualifying round series with a 95-82 home victory against Chorale Roanne of France on Friday. A 19-4 scoring blast bridging the third and fourth quarters did the trick for Alba, turning what was a tie series until then - due to Roanne's 86-79 victory in their first game - into a reason for Berlin fans to look forward to next week. Alba will host Hemofarm Stada in the first game of the second round next Tuesday, then visit the same opponent in Vrsac, Serbia on Friday. Chorale Roanne will now play the 2010-11 season in the Eurocup. Julius Jenkins stepped up as Alba's leader again with 23 points and 5 assists. Derrick Allen followed with 20 points while Tadija Dragicevic and Hollis Price added 11 each. Kelvin Rivers and Alex Gordon had 18 each for Roanne, trying to shoot the visitors closer to the finish, but Alba's fourth-quarter leads of up to 22 points proved too much. Pape Amagou added 16 points for Roanne, Uchenna Nsonwu 11 and Alex Dunn 10. Alba's 66% accuracy from two-point range, thanks to a 20-12 edge in assists, proved the key to claiming the series.

With 7 points at its back from the first game, Roanne added a 0-5 start highighted by Amagou's first three-pointer. When Alexis Tanghe, Souleyman Diabate and Rivers joined him with strikes from the arc, Roanne led 8-14. Alba had its own three-pointer threat, however, and with back-to-back shots from deep, Dragicevic tied it up 16-16. Despite a later go-ahead triple by Dunn for Roanne, Alba used a pair of layups by Jenkins and plenty of free throws to stay a step ahead, 25-23, after 10 minutes. Try as it might - with baskets by Price, Allen, Jenkins and Patrick Femerling - Alba couldn't boost its lead above the psychological barrier of 6 points, the last time at 35-29. Roanne broke back with a 0-6 run and soon took the lead at 37-40 on layups by Amagou and Rivers. Alba responded with an 11-4 blast in which Jenkins and Allen shared all but 2 points to reach halftime ahead 48-44, in clear striking distance of the series lead.

Alba not only reached the seven-point barrier immediately after halftime, but broke it down. Dragicevic lit the fuse on an 11-3 run that ended with baskets by Allen, Jenkins and Yassin Idbihi to suddenly make it a 59-47 scoreboard. Dunn and Nsonwu tried to snap Roanne out of its funk, but Alba kept is double-digit lead with solid defense. Even when Rivers buried a triple to make it 61-54 - a series tie - Price, Lucca Staiger and Jenkins combined for 4 consecutive bombs from downtown to practically settle the series with a 73-55 score after 3 quarters. Allen's basket to open the final quarter was good for a 20-point lead which the hosts followed soon with 6 minutes of allowing Roanne only free throws. That ended with another basket by Allen to preserve the difference at 88-68 with 3 minutes left. Roanne got a pair of late three-pointers from Gordon and another from Rivers to make it 93-82 in the closing seconds, but it was already too late. Alba was heading to the second qualifying round and Roanne to the Eurocup regular season.

Head Coaches

PAVICEVIC, LUKA
Alba Berlin
"Roanne came out very loose, they opened the game with four threes in a row. I think one of the keys for us was that we did not respond poorly. We did not quit, but kept working on our game. We kept attacking, raised our aggressiveness on defense and actually annulled the extremely good offensive play of our opponent. As a result, we were awarded with several good opportunities, which we used to almost break open the game. But the game still was not over, because we needed to win by a margin bigger than seven. Overall, I think that we worked the game most of the time properly. But we still have these problems to tighten the game in certain periods."
CHOULET, JEAN-DENYS
Chorale Roanne
"I think the difference was not today's game. The difference was to win our home game only by seven points. Without our best player, who is out for six weeks, this was hard for us. Congratulations to Alba Berlin, they were the better team tonight without doubt. But I would like to see one game against Alba with our complete roster."

Players

PRICE, HOLLIS
Alba Berlin
"I am really happy that we came out with this victory, because it was a really tough game. The key to this victory was getting down to our defense a little better. We did not make so many mistakes like in the first game. We corrected a lot, but we still have a lot of work to do. Now we go to the next round, where we have to protect our home court on Tuesday the same way we did today."
RIVERS, KELVIN
Chorale Roanne
"This was a tough environment to play in. This is only my second year out of college and I have to admit that I am not used to this kind of environment. Being one man down harmed us a lot. I don't want to look for an excuse, but with a full team we would have been a lot better coordinated. Now we have to prepare for the next challenge, which is for us the Eurocup."
