the Panathinaikos… Patient. This show has been around for three weeks. Where he seemed to find his footing, during this time psychology was below rock bottom. Something reflected in the parquet.

the Bayern Who is not … a basketball superpower, who managed to turn the game into a role play and force the “greens” to their fifth consecutive defeat. A defeat kept them from resolving the playoffs, as they concluded the first round with only 6 wins in 17 matches.

For another match, o Dwayne Bacon “Wake up” in the end, scoring 16 out of 18 points in the last period, while Augustin Robett He was a constant headache for his team Dejan Radonic.

the match

His offensive start was bad Panathinaiko while the Bayern He chose to play solid defense from the first minutes and make even the first passes for the Greens difficult.

And with him Cured meat For only two points with 1/7 of the inside children.

With “safety” +15 hours Bayern He had the psychology of managing teams in the third period. Especially since his players Radonik They continued to be misleading picking up where they left off at half time of the match. For the first time, the difference reached 18 points (53-35) in the 27th minute, a sample of the (bad) image of the “Khidr” on the floor of the “Audi Dome”. the Cured meat I continued to be negative and just left the Q bench Panathinaikos He seemed to be liberated by being on guard MineAnd the Walters And the gregones. It was reduced to 55-43 on 8-2 but there was no follow-on.

In fact, not only was there continuity, but the Greens saw the difference…slip away! in the st Bayern He led by +21 points (67-46) after completely dominating the floor. From that moment on, he seemed to “wake up.” Cured meat But it was too late. He may have scored consecutive points, but it was an extended race, just like last week.

win because: Panathinaikos’ failure was … Bayern’s best assist in order to quickly open the gap and with a 10-0 lead at half-time to take the lead and not lose at all until the end of the match. .

best player: Augustin Robet turned out to be…a Rubik’s Cube for the “greens” since they had no solution to deal with. He was the one who got Bayern to safety by completely controlling the match. He had 23 points on 9/13 two-pointers and 5/6 shooting.

Unseen heroes: Gillespie won many duels in the “drawing room” (10 points, 10 rebounds), while Othello Hunter also had a very good game (10 points, 2/2 square, 9 rebounds).

weak link: Overall, Panathinaikos had a bad night again. By the time all was said and done Bacon was in a negative state (even if he did start a pointless crescendo at the end).

Match fact: The presence of the Panathinaikos fans in the Audi Dome, who did not stop singing, even when the “greens” were far behind in the score.

Match stats: Panathinaikos’ only seven assists and failure with a 24/63 shot.

Gazita comment: Bad Panathinaikos again. It seems that he is playing with Tatar psychology. No mood, no energy, no players trying. Delivered early and seems to have a lot of problems. Both psychologically and competitively. The defeat in Munich was logical and fair.

Quarters: 21-11, 43-28, 61-44, 84-68.
