Bayern currently has three days off from training, a unique luxury in this long season. On the weekend, they already resume work for the next task, which couldn't be more difficult: Next Friday (February 21st, 20:30), the EuroLeague title favorite, Turkish champion and leader of the standings Anadolu Efes Istanbul, will be making a guest appearance at the Audi Dome.
Last year's finalist is currently three wins ahead of rival Real Madrid and FC Barcelona in the premier class - and in guard Shane Larkin they have the most outstanding player of the league. Most recently, the top scorer (22 ppg) was four times in a row gamedayMVP - setting a new record. Efes was even able to win the top game at defending champion ZSKA (82-80). Their last victory at ZSKA was in March 1999.
In the first matchup Bayern had no chance and lost 104-75. The star team around coach Ergin Ataman and German center Tibor Pleiss (9 ppg) has been able to survive without center Bryant Dunston, who has been missing due to a foot injury, since November. Guard Vasilije Micic, who injured his calf, will probably not be available for this game in Munich. Without him, Efes had to endure their first loss last weekend: In the Cup quarter-finals, the defending champions surprisingly lost 81-71 to local rival, Darussafaka Istanbul.
