Virtus Bologna took the victory away in Monaco in a tight finish, with Luca Vildoza scoring a decisive three-pointer in the final seconds.
Derrick Alston was the top scorer with 19 points. The former BAXI Manresa player spoke after the game and mentioned Svetislav Pesic and his now-famous speech. The Bayern coach has changed the dynamic in Munich.
“I mean, I don’t want to steal Coach Pesic’s speech, but you know what, everybody in our locker room believes we can win every game“, Alston said after the game.
“Games are a matter of us; we just have to control what we can control. Everybody went out there and contributed, which is amazing“, he continued. Virtus had a great win on the road against Spanoulis’s team.
“We had guys step up and play big, play big minutes and have big possessions, and that’s what you need in the long season. Guys are going to be in and out“, he concluded in Monaco.
Bayern’s got the win in Tel Aviv against Hapoel on Thursday, and Pesic said before the game that they have the confidence to beat everyone.
“We’re up against the league leaders today. Does anyone really think we can win? No one. But we’re coming in with confidence”, said Pesic.
