The basketball players of FC Bayern win after an absolutely chaotic end against the MBC. The last throw of the game ensures a lot of conversation. Most recently, the team of former national coach Gordon Herbert had received two defeats in a row.
What a chaotic end at the BBL game of the basketball players of FC Bayern Munich against the syntainics MBC. The Munich team won through a Buzzer Beater from Shabazz Napier with 90:88, but the end of the last throw caused a lot of discussions.
“My first thought is a mistake. Seriously: Why doesn’t the Tkachenko touch count?” Dyn commentator Michael Körner wondered. A completely shocked one followed: “What?!”
The basketball players of FC Bayern celebrated a narrow victory
But what had happened? Bayern threw the ball with a remaining season of 1.7 seconds at the score of 87:88. The throw-in from Nick Weiler-Babb touched the hand of Ivan Tkachenko when passing to Center Devin Booker. So the watch should have started here, but the fighting court only started the clock after Booker touched the ball seconds later.
The center then matched the ball to Napier, who hit the victory from the corner. If Tkachenko actually touched the ball, it was definitely not in time.
Referee review the situation in the video and give the basket
But the referees around crew chief Anne Panther saw it differently – after a minute -long video study.
In the TV picture it looked as if the Ukrainian was safe on the ball. But Panther still said on the Instant Review: “I can’t see that. The ball does not change his twist.”
Nevertheless, she did not want to give the basket at first because she has the wrong season in mind: “It takes 1.2 seconds. So that no basket.” Commentator Körner also called: “Korb does not count.”
But the clock had previously been set up to 1.7 seconds. Accordingly, she corrected the other referee Christof Madinger: “We had 1.7 seconds on the clock.” Panther then checked again and stated: “It takes 1.58 seconds, that’s in time. We have a good basket.”
So the basket counted and Bayern won and caused a powerful conversation after the game. As commentator Körner reported, the commissioner of the game, Horst Weichert, ran directly into the referee cabin to discuss the scene. This was followed by a discussion between him and MBC managing director Martin Geissler.
Bavaria consolidates the top of the table
Previously, the Bavarians had fought back after a big gap and thus consolidated the top of the table. After the end of the Euroleague near Real Madrid (71:93), Bayern most recently received a defeat in the League at the Hamburg Towers (70:74).
By the way, match winner Shabazz Napier did not want to commit whether his litter was really in time or not.
“I don’t know what the referees saw. I just threw the ball. When I let it go, the clock was not in the hall. I was completely in the zone and therefore couldn’t say it. But the referees looked at it for a long time. So it is definitely right,” said Napier at Dyn .
With the 21st win in the 29th league game, the defending champion remains the leaders a few weeks before the playoffs started. Against Weißenfels, which Bayern had hit on the way to the surprising trophy triumph in the semi-finals, the Munich found in the game. Only in the second round did the Herbert team turn up. Shabazz Napier, with 21 points in Bavaria, made the last second with his successful three -way throw.
