For Andrea Trinchieri’s students, the victory was a ticket to the playoffs and Bayern became the first German team in history to reach the quarter-finals of the Euroleague.
For his part, Žalgiris continues to hold the eleventh position, from which he no longer has a real chance of jumping at least one step.
After the game, the Bavarians danced the victory dance in the center of the square, although there was little lack of tears.
There are 3 seconds left to play and with the guests leading by 70:69, Wade Baldwin threw the ball behind the sideline. But after a lengthy review of the video, the referees reversed the original decision, seeing that the last touch of the ball was hit by Nigel Hayes.
Vladimiras Lučičius gave him a goal on a layup, tried to hit with his right and finished off with his left awkwardly.
Serb took notice of the cold-blooded fines throws, and Kaunas had enough time for another logical attack.
The people of Kaunas began the match by breaking the shackles of tension and attacking by playing brave basketball based on improvisations.
However, in the second half, Bayern tightened the screws on their corporate defense, and the further they advanced, the harder it was to win each point.
Žalgiris, who “absorbed” a few small spells from the hosts, responded with fire to the fire following N. Hayes’ successful pass of the game in the 38th minute. He burst forward.
Bayern were clearly weighed down with a much heavier burden of responsibility, which could have been costly for the Germans who had emerged from the season. However, they were saved by a video review and the icy nerves of V. Lučičius.
The meeting was judged by Ilija Beloševičius from Serbia, Sas Petek from Slovenia and Carlos Cortes from Spain.
“Bayern”: Vladimir Lučičius 13 (6th chamber), Jalen Reynolds 12, Nick Weiler-Babb 11 (3/6 trit.), Wade Baldwin (4th ed.) And James Gist – 8 each, Leon Radoševičius 6.
Žalgiris: Thomas Walkup 16 (3/4 double, 2/2 trit., 26 useful), Nigel Hayes (6th chamber) and Joffrey Lauvergne (6th chamber) – 12 each, Lukas Lekavičius 10 (2/2 trit., 5 res. ), Marius Grigonis (1/5 double, 1/5 trit., 5 res.) And Paulius Jankūnas – 5 each, Karolis Lukošiūnas and Rokas Jokubaitis – each 4, Martin Geben 2 (Ap. 5).
Last December, the Lithuanians won the first round match in Kaunas no less dramatically 74:73; victory was brought by Marius Grigonis’s penultimate second-point hit.
In total, in the Euroleague, “Žalgiris” and “Bayern” have met six times so far and have shared three victories each.
“Žalgiris” went to Munich without Artūras Milaknis injured and Augustine Rubitas infected with coronavirus, injured in the ranks of “Bayern” by Nihad Dedovičius, but Vladimir Lučičius, who missed the match in Kaunas, returned to the lineup.
Kaunas Club will end the regular season on April 8. At home duel with Panathinaikos from Athens, Bayern will visit the Fortress of Barcelona next week.
