German Basketball League Competition - Laso, coach of Bayern, aims to secure victory in the championship in Berlin.
Following their second win in the third match, the Bayern Munich basketball team aims to seal the championship on Friday in Berlin. When asked if he'd rather secure the title in the fifth game at home in Munich or the next game in the capital, head coach Pablo Laso made it clear: "In Berlin."
The Bayern players must push themselves once more on Friday (6:00 p.m./Dyn). "It's back to square one. We need to be greedy and prepared," said Andreas Obst, a world champion from the Munich team, as they gear up for the fourth final match between the two German Euroleague teams. "We can't ignore Alba," said the top scorer for Bayern, who scored 14 points in their most recent game. "Game two should serve as a lesson to us. It's all about mental strength, not about playing beautiful basketball."
In the second game on Monday, Bayern did not bring their full focus to the match after the victory in the first game and therefore suffered a draw. In their more recent game on Wednesday, the star-studded team from the Isar also remained resilient during the final phase, when Alba had wiped out a 10-point deficit. "That's a big compliment to my players, showing great mental fortitude," Laso stated proudly.
Alba is determined not to give up despite the painful loss and numerous injuries. "The absences are undeniably stressful. But those are not a concern in our locker room. We'll be ready again on Friday," affirms Matt Thomas of "Dyn."
