22:07
Mirotić makes up for his mistake, if you can even call it that, with a great three from the corner. Barcelona leads by 16 points.
33
22:04
But on the other side, Nikola Mirotić cannot be tamed at all in the final quarter. Andrea Trinchieri is already taking his second break.
33
22:03
With a lot of momentum, Ognjen Jaramaz creates space on his own and finds the mismatch.
32
22:01
Shortly thereafter, Mirotić also makes the three-point game perfect. With the interim euphoria, it’s gone for the time being.
32
21:59
With a humorless three from the right half field, Nikola Mirotić ensures that the volume drops significantly again. It’s only the Montenegrin’s first threesome.
31
21:58
The hall trembles and stands. “Let’s go, Bayern, let’s go!” echoes from the ranks.
30
21:57
Quarter conclusion:
Hope has returned to the Audi Dome, because Bayern was able to reduce to ten points with a more powerful performance!
30
21:56
When the clock is up, the layup! After Hunter won the ball in their own half, three Bayern start, Lučić converts!
30
21:54
But then Vladimir Lučić misses a fairly open three from the left corner. That would have been so morally important!
30
21:54
Barcelona have completely lost the offensive flow at the moment. In the best case, Bayern goes into the final quarter with a single-digit deficit.
29
21:53
Near the rink, Nick Weiler-Babb snatches the ball out of the hands of the inattentive Sertaç Şanlı. The Audi Dome starts the applause!
29
21:52
Brandon Davies was injured after a tackle on landing. The shoulder needs treatment.
28
21:51
Three out of 17 is Bayern’s three-way quota so far. There’s a lot of room for improvement. Barcelona, too, does not have an outstanding rate at just under 30 percent.
28
21:50
Nihad Đedović with the first FCB steal tonight! But when the ball was then in possession, Nick Weiler-Babb missed the three from behind.
27
21:47
Žan Šiško tanks and hits the target but Othello Hunter grabs the rebound! Since Barça are currently not converting the three, the gap is only 14 points.
26
21:46
Bayern don’t give up! Žan Šiško drives the ball through great to Deshaun Thomas, who scores his points three and four tonight.
25
21:43
Without resistance, Nick Calathes pulls past friend and foe and puts the ball in. Andrea Trinchieri immediately takes the time-out.
25
21:43
Vladimir Lučić revs up, first feints in position and then hits from the throw-in. Now the Serb has to go to the bench.
24
21:41
Bayern need to catch up. Because of this, Ognjen Jaramaz takes a rather difficult three-pointer, but these 50/50 balls still don’t fall.
23
21:39
It is now 8:3 after offensive rebounds. One of the few statistics in which Bayern clearly have the upper hand.
22
21:39
Great switching game by the Catalans, but Nikola Mirotić again lacks precision. Instead, Weiler-Babb follows up with a rebound!
22
21:38
Barcelona also have to wait for the first points. Nikola Mirotić welds the ball exactly between the basket and the ring, where it remains wedged. It continues with jump ball.
22
21:37
Deshaun Thomas is briefly free under the basket, but Bayern plays around the outside and misses Vladimir Lučić’s three-pointer. Nick Weiler-Babb gets the rebound, but can’t use the layup either. Pity!
21
21:35
An early sign of life! Nick Weiler-Babb just takes off and scores two easy points.
20
21:22
Mid-term conclusion:
Bayern does not yet bring the speed onto the floor that Andrea Trinchieri would certainly wish for. This not only means that Barcelona can develop offensively and, above all, can put the mobile Rolands Šmits in the limelight again and again. Another and even more devastating consequence is that without pace, Bayern can’t even get into attacking play at all. 14 points in the second third speak for themselves.
20
21:19
When the clock runs out, Nicolás Laprovíttola tries a step-back three over Schilling, but just misses.
20
21:18
Personnel adjustments half a minute before the break. Kyle Kuric gets a new chance with the guests, Andrea Trinchieri sends Gavin Schilling onto the floor for the first time.
19
21:17
The game is currently a little more open. Augustine Rubit can increase Bayern’s points account with good offensive actions, even if the deficit is still considerable.
17
21:13
Of course, you can’t use that at all in such a phase, Weiler-Babb affords his second personal turnover.
17
21:12
Thomas, Rubit, Hunter and Lučić are now supposed to turn things around in a very large formation. However, the last remaining “little one”, Nick Weiler-Babb, is sent into the mismatch.
16
21:09
Deshaun Thomas drops the two. At the other end, Nick Calathes manages his fifth personal assist with his pass to Nikola Mirotić. The Greek remains calm even after the shot clock has expired.
15
21:07
Phew, Dante Exum now hits the threesome too. In the Bayern offensive, however, progress is slow with five points in five minutes, Andrea Trinchieri takes the next time-out.
14
21:04
On the other side, however, Rolands Šmits is now completely free under the basket. Barça are playing very dynamically today.
13
21:03
Vladimir Lučić enables the next pick and roll via Nick Weiler-Babb with his block. Othello Hunter accomplished.
13
21:02
Kyle Kuric leaves an open three from the left corner. Not everything is going well with the guests either.
13
21:01
Quite well! Augustine Rubit has a completely open threesome in the control center, now Šarūnas Jasikevičius takes the time-out and immediately takes on Sertaç Şanlı.
12
21:00
The game should be faster, the protagonists should be better distributed offensively. Let’s see how Trinchieri’s demands are implemented.
12
20:58
After a successful middle-distance shot by Kyle Kuric, Andrea Trinchieri takes an early time-out.
11
20:56
Jaramaz has to leave the floor immediately after his first foul. Lučić is now back. Andrea Trinchieri quickly buried the experiment with three guards.
11
20:55
Ognjen Jaramaz tries the step-back three-pointer, but just misses. That would have been important.
10
20:53
Quarter conclusion:
Bayern have not yet been able to continue their aggressive defensive performance in Barcelona and are nine points behind.
10
20:52
Before the break, Bayern catch a few simple baskets. Substitutes Rolands Šmits and Dante Exum score for two.
9
20:51
From the free-throw line, Bayern is working its way up a bit. Defensively they’ve caught up, but that’s mainly due to the substitutions of Mirotić and Laprovíttola.
8th
20:49
Missed threes on both sides. Discarding both Nikola Mirotić and Othello Hunter. Bayern are currently nine points behind.
7
20:45
The only ray of hope from Bayern’s point of view is that Vladimir Lučić is in much better form. When falling, he nets a difficult two from the left corner.
6
20:43
At the other end, however, Nicolás Laprovíttola and Nikola Mirotić can only be stopped by a foul. The Montenegrin has already converted his three and four free throws.
6
20:42
Now Bayern shifts the game completely to the basket and ensures that Nick Weiler-Babb gets a completely free three point in the right corner! That’s the way it has to be, with more movement in attack.
6
20:40
Andrea Trinchieri does and does, now brings in Augustine Rubit for Deshaun Thomas. However, none of the measures have been successful.
5
20:39
Barcelona bring significantly more speed to the floor than last Thursday in their own hall. Nikola Mirotić always has all the place in the world in the center and throws it out to Nicolás Laprovíttola, who has already placed his third three-pointer.
4
20:36
Nick Calathes and Sertaç Şanlı add the next five points for the Catalans. Bayern hasn’t really found access yet.
2
20:34
Vladimir Lučić scores the first three points for Bayern! The Serb is one of those players who have not yet been able to fully exploit their potential.
2
20:33
Again the switch against Laprovíttola doesn’t work, the Argentine scores his second three from the center.
2
20:32
errors on both sides. But then Leon Radošević grabs the offensive rebound and is fouled.
1
20:31
The first possession goes to the Catalans. Nicolás Laprovíttola gets the first threesome.
20:29
the Starting Five: Nick Weiler-Babb, Nihad Đedović, Deshaun Thomas, Vladimir Lučić and Leon Radošević will start for Bayern. Barcelona start with Nicolás Laprovíttola, Nick Calathes, Nigel Hayes, Nikola Mirotić and Sertaç Şanlı.
20:26
The mood in the Audi Dome is great even before the game starts, the hall is completely sold out. With Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Marcel Sabitzer, some well-known faces from the football department can also be spotted in the stands.
20:09
Andrea Trinchieri expects a very physical game today. “Barcelona will want to play big. We have to adapt and respond to that.”
20:00
Nihad Đedović even speaks of the two biggest games in the club’s history: “The fans change everything. It was a good feeling when we played Milan in a quarter-final for the first time in the EuroLeague, but: The playoff feeling was another. Because the fans were absent because of the corona pandemic. Everything is right now. We play in our own hall against FC Barcelona, the first in the main round, the favourites. With fans. That is a special moment for us.”
19:55
The coup in Barcelona laid the foundation for two basketball festivals to take place here in Munich. With the away win, Bayern have secured a second home game, which will be played on Friday.
19:47
Especially from a German point of view it was a basketball festival last Thursday in the Palau Blaugrana. Bayern delivered an almost perfect game and equalized the series against the main round winners from Barcelona. With 25 points, Deshaun Thomas was the outstanding figure in the 90:75 away win, but the foundation stone was laid by the aggressive defense of the formation, which was very small for long stretches.
19:41
Have a nice evening and welcome to the third game in the series between FC Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona! The Trinchieri protégés are allowed to play in front of their own audience for the first time today. It starts at 8:30 p.m.!
