After the missed opportunity in Russia, Bayern Munich’s basketball players are determined to make it to the semi-finals on Wednesday (20.30 hrs/Telekom Sport) in the third and decisive EuroCup duel with Unics Kasan,”We will now take the next step,”says captain Anton Gavel.

Last Friday, the Bundesliga front runner in Kazan did not use the first match point (73:80). That’s why, as with the opening of the best-of-three series last week (83:75), we have to win in our own arena:”We have to control the boards again like in the first game and not give them so many second chances,”says Gavel.

I’m sure that this won’t happen a third time and our litters will fall on Wednesday,”said Gavel. Coach Sasa Djordjevic warned:”Kazan will raise the game to a very high physical level again.

In the last two seasons, Munich had failed in the quarter-finals. If the Bayern should make any progress this time, the cup winner would still have a chance to win the triple.
