The basketball players of FC Bayern Munich ended their series of four defeats in a row at the Niners Chemnitz on Sunday evening with a convincing 79:58 victory. With 14:5 victories, they secured third place in the table behind Berlin and Bonn.
In view of the upcoming weekend, it was already time for FC Bayern to send a signal towards the competition in the league. The cup semi-final against the current double winner Alba Berlin is coming up next Saturday when the top four in Oldenburg are about the first title of the season to be awarded. And recently Bayern had left a few question marks, coach Andrea Trinchieri spoke of a difficult phase in view of several injured regular players and a demanding game plan – even if three of those four failures had come about in the Euroleague (and also against Bonn, second in the Bundesliga). . And there the opponents are of a different quality than the Saxons, although the Bavarians have always struggled in the Chemnitz exhibition hall. Three out of four games had been lost there, most recently at 58:77 last season.
After the first quarter, Bayern lead 23:7, the preliminary decision has been made
On Sunday evening, however, the guest revealed from the first second that he was not impressed by this history. Rather, it seemed for a long time that Chemnitz was the first team in BBL history to run the risk of delivering a starting quarter without a point. Bayern were 15-0 ahead before playmaker Wes Clark scored the first points. After the first quarter, which Bayern won 23:7, the preliminary decision was made. Nick Weiler-Babb in particular was outstanding, was Munich’s top scorer with 23 points and contributed 19 points to the 42:28 lead at the break.
If the Munich team lost momentum in the second quarter, they dashed any illusions the hosts had of a successful performance with a concentrated start to the second period. Before the last quarter, FCB clearly led 63:46 – and can send a final signal in the direction of the cup decision in Tuesday’s home game against Hamburg.
