FC Bayern basketball players surprisingly lost at the start of the play-off semi-final. The team of coach Gordon Herbert is now running behind the best-of-five series and is already under pressure.
Defending champion Bayern Munich failed to start with the semi-final playoffs of the basketball Bundesliga. The main round of the MLP Academics Heidelberg surprisingly lost 90:95 (48:45) and is therefore under pressure in the best-of-five series. The second game will take place in Heidelberg on Wednesday. Three victories are necessary for progress.
FC Bayern basketball players complain too long before the semi -finals complain
Against the surprise team of the season, Bayern was clearly noticeable in the relatively long break for Play-Off. There were eight days between the last game of the quarter -final series against the Syntainics MBC from Weißenfels and the game on Sunday in the SAP Garden. “It’s not easy,” Bayern’s world champion coach Gordon Herbert said before the game.
FC Bayern basketball players lack the ease
In fact, the Munich team, who had completed the main round as the first table, never really got going. Nevertheless, after the break, they sat down to ten points and seemed to meet their role as favorites. But Heidelberg, who almost relegated last season, fought back and kept his nerve in the final quarter.
Damariae Horne (26 points), Michael Weathers (23) and Marcel Keßen (17 points, 11 rebounds) were the winning guarantors for the guests. At Bayern, Vladimir Lucic (22) was also unable to avert the surprising defeat. “It was a big win for us,” said Horne at Dyn.
In the second semi -final, the Würzburg Baskets and Ulm are facing each other.
