In knockout round first leg of the Euro Cups between Cup winners Alba Berlin and FC Bayern München there are highly unusual in basketball results.

<- inteaserpicposition: 1 -> <- self.position: -1 -> <- classid!: ! hcf-inline-left -> <- position: left - textposition> <-> <- inhaspic:! true -> <- ! - include ps2> <- self.position eq 2 -> <- inteaserpicposition: 1 -> <- self.position: 2 -> <- classid: hcf-inline- ! left -> <- position: left -> <- textposition: -> <- inisprint: false -> <- inhaspic: true ->

Not only Jordan Taylor was pretty confused when the final siren sounded. Bayern Munich had just awarded the last throw of the game, the score 82:82 (47:41) – and now? “I was ready to continue to play and to go into overtime,” Alba Berlin said point guard. Since the second round but played in Eurocup with home and away, the game ended in a draw – so with a result which does not normally occur in basketball. The spectators in the arena at the Ostbahnhof left hesitant their seats, the players were a bit baffled on the field around.

“I have never played a draw in my life,” said Taylor. “But that’s the European style.” After 40 intense minutes, so neither team was able to gain an advantage, the decision must be in the second leg drop on Tuesday in Munich. There will be at a draw but an extension, an outward basket Rule does not exist: Who wins, reached the quarterfinals. Almost as a warm-up meet Bayern and Alba already two days earlier in Munich also in the Bundesliga with one another. “It feels like a play-off series on” Jordan Taylor said. “We lost our home advantage today and must find new ways to attack them.”

Three days before the Wednesday, Alba and Bayern had already delivered a thrilling Cup final, by the 67: 65-victory kidnapped the Berlin trophy in Munich. For the second game in the series of four coach Svetislav Pesic Bavaria had announced its intention to make any major tactical changes. But of course, tried the 66-year-old, to surprise his longtime students and Alba coach Sasa Obradovic yet. Early in the first quarter sent Pesic the only 20-year-old Daniel Mayr onto the pitch – but the measure backfired. Albas veteran Kresimir Loncar had Mayr feel each of the 15 professional years he voraushat him. Within a short time gave Loncar 13th year younger Mayr nine points a, Alba pulled away. The Berliners were initially the more active, more focused and more determined team, almost there when stuck seemed to Bayern a glittering Cup Party in the bone.



8855 spectators were treated to a close and hard fought game

Pesic took Mayr from the field, his players roared in a break together horribly and gave a war of words with Berlin Akeem Vargas, been punished for both with a technical foul. Shortly after, both had teams that now fought a heated game, take a break, there were technical problems with the video cube in the arena at the Ostbahnhof. As it went on, Obradovic was with his own surprise at the number: Alba turned over to zone defense, this trick worked better than Pesics Mayr experiment. The just strengthened Munich lost their rhythm at halftime Alba was six points ahead. Elmedin Kikanović had achieved at that time already 16 points, at the end came the Center on 24 points. For Bayern met Dusko Savanovic (15) is best.

the Munich came with a lot of energy and a 7: 0 series from the cabin, the 8855 spectators could now see a close and hard-fought game. The guests met now better from a distance, at the beginning of the final quarter seemed Alba to leave the force. Obradovics team fell seven points in arrears, but as in the cup final, it was Taylor (18 points) and Kikanović that approach brought their team back. However, the last chance of victory had Munich, Alex Renfroe rejected -., leaving nearly 9,000 people back somewhat perplexed
