Vitoria, Dec 18 (EFE) .- TD Systems Baskonia was blocked against Bayern Munich and, weighed down by the lack of success in attack, conceded its second consecutive defeat this week (77-66), which takes it away from the fight for entry into the playoffs for the title.
The Germans did not miss their best man, Vladimir Lucic, who was absent on this day, but they relied on a Jalen Reynolds who was superior to all his peers and concluded the duel with 29 PIR credits in 19 minutes.
The Catalans signed a very poor percentage in shots of two points and could not keep up with a Bayern that remains at the top of the European classification.
Achille Polonara was the best Baskonista with 17 valuation credits, but the Vitorians were not organized or had clear ideas in the static attack.
It took Bayern four minutes to overcome the Baskonia defense, who jumped into the Audi Dome with the idea that his rival would suffer to add in each attack, but Dusko Ivanovic’s men could not take advantage of the situation and the Germans began to find their game to flip the scoreboard, 10-8.
The movement of the benches favored the Teutons who found their place in offensive work, although a triple by Alec Peters made it 18-15 after the first quarter.
Baskonia were charged with fouls at the start of the second round and were not fine in their offensive attempts, with only two points in four minutes. This allowed Bayern to grow that was more comfortable on the track with the entry of inside Jalen Reynolds who found no rival in the paint.
The Bavarians did not forgive from the free kick and were adding before the Barcelona offensive crisis to put an alarming 38-23 for the interests of the Basque team, with many problems to play in the five against five. In spite of everything, Baskonia rowed and got into the game before the break, 38-30, after a 0-7 run.
The exchange of baskets of the resumption favored the locals, who controlled the attempt of reaction of the Basques who with the passage of minutes managed to get closer to 4 points in a period in which they recovered sensations, although a triple by Paul Zipser returned to mark distances, 58-50.
Furthermore, the start of the definitive period was not at all flattering for Baskonia interests after the Teutons widened the difference above ten points. The offensive blocking again marked a Baskonia who scored his first point at 4:53 for an uphill finish for the Basques.
Baskonia sought to reduce damage, thought about the difference in points and suffer a defeat as slight as possible but Trinchieri’s men kept the difference above ten points, 77-66.
