At the post-match press conference, Š.Jasikevičius was disappointed with the third half and was unable to explain to the players who had organized his strong career performance. Wade’o Baldwino the half, who scored 29 points (9/14 dvit., 2/3 trit., 5/5 penalty), made 7 assists and scored 41 utility points.

“The last game of the special year”, was the host of the press conference.

“The worst year”, – corrected Š.Jasikevičius. “Congratulations to Bayern and their coach, today they were a better team. In the first half we played very well, as planned, and in the third half we lost our minds completely, we committed many fouls after the” bonus “, which still gave more confidence to the team quite confident. We had two video previews before the game, we had pre-game meetings, during the game break, but I couldn’t convince my players that W. Baldwin preferred the left hand, and today he walked to the left about 200 times. We let him do it. We were excited about the physicality and the rebounding, I was hoping we wouldn’t lose the fight on rebounds by a big difference, but in the end they were still a much more athletic team. “

Meanwhile, W. Waldwin recalled the last round match with Kaunas “Žalgiris” and paid tribute to him.

“We knew we would have a tough game after a super, super tough loss for Žalgiris, who is an incredible team. We knew it was a game where we had to go out and win. Barcelona is the best of the best, so we had to show the best basketball. In defense, we did a good job changing everything, fighting against great people, all defenders trying to be in front of their defender. In attack we wanted to flee, we knew they could get tired. We are young, we are hungry and we want to continue “Waldwin said.

Bayern strategist Andrea Trinchieri He spoke of a great desire to see the fans in the stands again.

“It just came to our knowledge then. We now have 11 wins and 6 losses, which is a good result. It was a great way to end the year. This year has been really difficult for several reasons. I wish you all, players, coaches , referees, coaches, fans, a healthy year 2021. Most want to see the fans return to the arenas: 500, 5 thousand. with 10 thousand. I just want to feel that atmosphere and at least a little excitement. We know we should keep playing, because it’s okay, we try to do the best we can, but I think if you ask any basketball player what they want the most, they will all answer: the return of the fans, “said Trinchieri.
