Andrea Trinchieri: This is the result. Injured players, low-scoring games

Bayern Munich head coach: We're trying to copy the NBA. I understand - the NBA is the best basketball product, but you cannot just copy the things without having the same stuff

Andrea Trinchieri talked about EuroLeague: «We’re trying to copy the NBA. I understand – the NBA is the best basketball product, but you cannot just copy the things without having the same stuff».

«In the NBA, the regular season is 82 games, so you have 82 opportunities to fix your ranking after the loss. Out of 32 teams, 16 teams go to the playoffs».

«Here we have 34 games, and out of 18 only 8 go to the playoffs, so it’s very difficult to have quality, nice plays, quick basketball playing every 48 hours. The importance of a single game is not comparable to the NBA».

«In the NBA, you can lose games, because you have other 81, 40 games to accomplish your task. Here, every game is a struggle. This is the result – injured players, low-scoring games».
