After the main round final, the world champion coach does not leave good hair on the professionals of FC Bayern.
Gordon Herbert was totally eaten, so much that the world championship coach did not give good hair to the professionals of FC Bayern after the main round final in the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL).
“Unfortunately, only one team was on the field today that fought in the first half,” said the Canadian after the long distances weak presentation at 73:72 (33:51) about the MHP giant Ludwigsburg, “we were absolutely pathetic and embarrassing.”
The Munich team had disappointed until the break and afterwards, only a later run and a threesome of world champion Niels Giffey brought victory nine seconds before the end. In the event of a defeat, Bayern would have lost first place in front of the playoffs to Ratiopharm Ulm.
Hebert via Bayern team: “We play as if it were a free space on the beach”
“We play as if it were a freight seat on the beach. We are not a tough team, not physical. But if our Competete level is zero, we are soft. If I buy an ice cream, it would be harder,” says Herbert: “We are soft.”
His team initially “handed over a basket on a basket, without resistance”, Herbert was annoyed: “It is not the first game that we started. For some reason we were not ready again. I apologize to the fans for how we played in the first half.”
Herbert praises fighting spirit
He was “really disappointed, but in fact it will help us to get forward,” said Herbert and then found positive words. “I have to praise my boys that they never give up and how they fought in the last five minutes.”
It is still unclear who Bayern play in the play-off quarter-finals. Herbert is “no matter. I am only interested in whether we will understand what it needs mentally to win.”
