Bayern Munich are a bit surprisingly behind after the first ten minutes against a decimated Saski Baskonia team! After a balanced initial phase, the hosts increasingly lost the thread on the offensive and fell behind, mainly due to the strong performance of their former player Wade Baldwin.

Vladimir Lučić knows the guests from his time in Valencia. “For me they are a very strong, very talented team that plays extremely physically,” emphasizes the 32-year-old and continues: “You have certainly had a few problems so far and have already changed coach. It will probably take time to adjust to the new system. Your strength is definitely the very long bank and it will definitely be a tough game. But we definitely want to return the favor after the two away defeats and this game is a good chance for that. “

The game is also a reunion with Wade Baldwin, who only moved to the Spanish top club in the summer. The American played a major role in Bayern’s outstanding EuroLeague season last season. “At the end of the first half of the season we will meet a team that has a lot of talent and a lot of three-point shooters. That’s why we have to be careful in defense and act focused. Of course it’s nice to see Wade again, but we have to play focused,” said Andrea Trinchieri.
