Coach Banchi’s statements on the eve of the Munich game: “Bayern Munich is certainly a very ambitious team that in the summer made deep changes starting with the technical leadership, hiring a titled coach like Pablo Laso, and players of undoubted talent and experience. The play-pivot axis consists of talented players from Bolmaro, Francisco and Ibaka, who contest after contest is proving to be an increasingly dominant player on a team that seems to be growing. We will have to try to withstand the impact of their physicality. I’m thinking about what impact they can have approaching the basket and rebounding, as well as a defensive style that will force us to play a choral basketball, made of distribution of responsibility and allowing us to hit an away win, invaluable for the continuation of our path.”
Smith’s words in pregame:“We face Bayern, a team I know very well. I have played against them for the last four years and they have always proven to be a tough team. We will have to stay focused for 40 minutes because they will never give up and we have to keep them away from the basket, because they are really one of the best teams in the competition in terms of offensive and defensive rebounds.”
