Andreas Obst’s opponent was desperate at the beginning of the second half, the visiting coach complained like a fool, the fans celebrated the national player with chants: Andreas Obst scored no less than 34 points in the top game of the Euroleague on Friday evening against FC Barcelona amazing 100:78 (48:38) success for the Bayern basketball players.
This means they remain unbeaten at the SAP Garden and with this clear victory they have finally made it clear that they are no longer outsiders. Quite the opposite: After the recent gala at home, Bayern are in third place in the European elite league. “I’m proud of my team,” said coach Gordon Herbert in a good mood after the clear victory.
Although Barcelona has a lot of history, Bayern are currently in better form and, with their recently ill head coach Gordon Herbert back on the sidelines, played confidently from the start. They always looked for a quick finish, sometimes with lightning-fast combinations, sometimes with quick throws – sometimes from a distance. In particular, the Catalans couldn’t find a solution against Obst, he alone converted eleven of 16 three-point attempts – a new record for the Euroleague, which was duly celebrated even after the final siren.
However, his accuracy would also have been good for the national team, which lost their European Championship qualifier in Sweden 72:73 on Friday. Former national coach Herbert was unable to say whether Obst would play in the second game against Sweden in Heidelberg on Monday instead of taking a planned break.
