Crvena zvezda basketball players recorded their second defeat at the start of the EuroLeague, this time falling to Bayern in Munich 97:88, with an incredible performance by Andreas Obst, who scored nine three-pointers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyone who watched this game saw something Zvezda has been showing for years \u2013 plenty of effort, but in the end, even more collapse. That was essentially the story of this matchup, where Zvezda once again demonstrated its inability to perform when it matters most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is clear to everyone that Zvezda is dealing with huge injury problems \u2013 that is evident. However, this time, it is about much more than just injuries. Zvezda once again managed to build something in the first half, only to see it collapse at the very start of the second half and roll downhill from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simply put, Zvezda played this game with \u201conly\u201d eight players. While the starters were fresh, they were doing something. But as soon as they were off the court \u2013 the situation was completely different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zvezda once again showed major weaknesses, especially on defense, where they allowed one of the best shooters in Europe to get open looks from three, which Andreas Obst fully exploited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zvezda\u2019s defense, which should be their biggest strength, failed again and was practically nonexistent, which the Bavarians punished. Just like against Milan, Zvezda scored over 80 points, but allowed 100, which says enough about their defensive shortcomings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We already said after the Milan game that this Zvezda season must change quickly, otherwise it will be \u201cover\u201d already by the time Serbia puts on long sleeves, and this game proved exactly that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Injuries are a fact, but not an excuse, as coach Giannis Sfairopoulos himself pointed out, since the fish always rots from the head\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In any case, Zvezda hoped for much more, but got the same as their fans \u2013 a whole lot of nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the solution to the problems lies in Donatas Motiej\u016bnas, and possibly another reinforcement at guard, then the red alarms are already flashing over Mali Kalemegdan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite being decimated, Zvezda opened the game very well in the first two minutes. Jordan Nwora scored six straight points and showed that he can contribute a lot, likely becoming the main offensive option of this team over time. Only after that did Bayern start hitting shots. Of their first seven points, Vladimir Lu\u010di\u0107 and Stefan Jovi\u0107 scored them, while on the other side Chima Moneke hit twice in a row from the free throw line \u2013 7:13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
