According to the original Euroleague schedule, “Žalgiris” would host ALBA in Berlin at home this Wednesday, and on Friday they would go on a trip to Munich, where Bayern basketball players would be waiting for those from Žalgiris.
However, on the last day of January, the Euroleague announced that two Verdiblancos matches would be postponed, from Wednesday to Tuesday and from Friday to Thursday. This decision was made at the request of the Bayern club.
It turns out that the Bavarian region places a strong emphasis on the tradition of Good Friday, which defines this day as a “quiet party.”
In Lithuania, Christians are only urged to refrain from noisy joys, hearty, fatty and meaty meals on the Friday before Easter, thus repenting of the death of Christ, and in Munich the day of concentration is strictly regulated by law.
For example, on the saddest day on the Christian calendar, public events, including sports competitions, are prohibited in Bavaria. Activities in mass entertainment venues like dance floors and nightclubs are also limited. Up to 12 of Germany’s 16 regions are banning dancing on Good Friday. In other places, such as Berlin, this form of entertainment is allowed during certain hours.
You can get up to 1,5 thousand for dancing on Good Friday in Germany. EUR fines. In some regions, including Bavaria, music is even banned in bars and restaurants on Good Friday. Bavaria is one of the most difficult regions for these holidays. Music is restricted here from 2pm Thursday to midnight Saturday.

Interestingly, even the film repertoire is regulated that day. The Germans have a system that determines which films “are not suitable for viewing on holidays.”
Studies published in 2018 show that about half of the German population is Christian.
Although the protests were held in Germany over strict Good Friday regulations, polls in 2017 showed that more than half of Germans agreed with the Good Friday bans.
Thus, as Žalgiris agreed to advance the match with Bayern one day, one day Žalgiris’s meeting with ALBA took place in Berlin.
This double week of the Euroleague, the people of Žalgiris are greeted with theoretical hopes of entering the playoffs. They are so small that they are a miracle.
Žalgiris must win the remaining three games of the regular season and expect four defeats for Zenit Saint Petersburg, three setbacks for Valencia, one victory for Vitoria Baskonia against Valencia and at least one victory for Real Madrid.
