Barça traveled to Munich with a clear goal: to win at least one of the two games against Bayern. And that is an essential condition to be in the Final Four in Belgrade, the great objective of the season. Winning both would not require a fifth match, losing both would be out and winning one and losing the other would play it out at the Palau. Be that as it may, Barça has to win in Germany and, if it does today, all the better: they want to avoid playing on Friday on the verge of elimination (follow tonight’s game live on As.com).
The entire squad has also traveled to Munich. And that includes a Cory Higgins who will not be able to participate in the game yet, but that little by little is entering the group dynamics. The American will not play the tie against Bayern but he could have minutes in a hypothetical Final Four. Apart from Higgins, all the other members of the squad are available. Jasikevicius will have options.
In the second game of the series, which Bayern won with some ease, it became clear that Trinchieri’s men quickly adapted to everything Barça proposed in the first game. They were denied points in the paint, Davies was key in the first duel, and they put the Barça point guards in a lot of trouble. Deshaun Thomas’s show also made it clear that the Bavarian team has great scoring ability. In addition to the physique and defensive strength, they are a danger if they shoot comfortably.
Barça comes to the match after having beaten Lenovo Tenerife but after a series of matches in which it has certainly been irregular. They had margin and they took advantage of it, but now it is exhausted. It is only worth winning in Germany to be in the Final Four, the great objective of the team.
