FC Bayern Basketball: National championship order after Europe
Munich – The international dreams are over after the 72:81 defeat at FC Barcelona on Tuesday evening in the decider of the Euroleague playoffs. But already on Friday evening (7 p.m.) the basketball players of FC Bayern are called to national duty again.
In the first of three remaining games of the regular BBL season, the Munich team have to play in Ulm.
Worthy main round conclusion: FCBB meets Berlin on Tuesday
On Sunday (6 p.m.) Göttingen will come to the Audi Dome, where Alba Berlin will also be present again on Tuesday (8.30 p.m.). The duel between the two master favorites marks a worthy conclusion to the main round and at the same time heralds the playoffs that follow on Friday.
However, the duel between the two arch-rivals will only gain sporting significance if Alba – which is widely expected – should goof in Braunschweig on the previous Sunday. the Berliners are already certain as the winners of the regular season before the duel with FCBB. THUS, the champion of the past two years would enjoy home rights until the final series of the playoffs and would have a possibly decisive advantage on his side.
Bavaria’s basketball players can only be second in the table
Bayern, on the other hand, can still be second in the table with a maximum of three wins. Because Bonn, which has already played all 34 regular season games, has already collected three more wins than Munich. And with the clear 96:61 win at the beginning of March, they also secured a direct comparison against FCBB, who had won the first leg in Munich 100:81.
So it looks as if Bayern will have to prepare themselves from the semi-finals on without home advantage. After Alba had to give way twice in a row, the Munich team is still longing to finally wrestle the championship title back from the Berliners. Especially since the championship this season is the last remaining title chance for Munich. In the cup, which Berlin also won, the FCBB was surprisingly eliminated in the quarter-finals by the Niners Chemnitz (80:85).
FC Bayern Basketball: Championship as the ultimate goal
If it doesn’t work out again with the championship, it would again have a negative impact on the season’s balance sheet. The free Euroleague playoffs against Barcelona would not change that. Managing director Marko Pesic finally declared the championship title to be the “top priority” this season and said: “I think we should attack both national titles constructively and concretely.”
Bavaria can only still fulfill the master order…
