Going into the break with a series of bankruptciesFC Bayern basketball players take a hard hit
FC Bayern’s basketball players had no chance in the away game in Valencia and suffered their fourth defeat in a row in the EuroLeague. Things get really bitter for the Munich team, especially shortly before and shortly after the break.
The FC Bayern Munich basketball players lost their last game before the international break. In the EuroLeague, the reigning German champions lost to Valencia Basket with 64:90 (37:41). Bayern suffered their fourth defeat in a row in the European Cup and are still only in 16th place with a record of five wins and eight defeats. Assistant Coach TJ Parker once again represented Munich head coach Gordon Herbert, who continues to recover from illness.
Vladimir Lucic scored Munich’s first seven points, but it was the players from the bench who got the team going: After a 13:2 run, the guests were ahead 25:19 at the beginning of the second half. Defensively, Bayern did well to stop Valencia’s rapid attacks. However, the Munich team committed a lot of fouls, so Valencia came back thanks to a few free throws and went into the locker room with a 41:37 lead.
Bayern with a false start in the second half
After Bayern ended the first half with a 2:13 run, they conceded a 2:12 run at the start of the second half. There was hardly anything going offensively, and the guests’ deficit grew to a difference of up to 22 points at the end of the third quarter. In the final section, Spencer Dinwiddie (twelve points) shouldered the Munich team, but they couldn’t get closer than 15 points.
The game in Valencia was the third of seven away games in a row for Bayern in the European Cup. After the international break, they next go to Partizan Belgrade. The national basketball players Justus Hollatz, Andreas Obst and Oscar da Silva, who have been appointed to the DBB selection, will not have a break.
