In the current season preparation of the basketball Bundesliga, FC Bayern Munich was finally able to celebrate a first victory under the new head coach Gordon Herbert. On Saturday, August 26, 2024, the team defeated the French Club Sig Strasbourg in the second test game with 94:84 points. According to reports, this success took place without spectators and thus represents a promising upswing compared to the previous defeat against Bamberg.

In the first friendly game under Herbert, which took place two weeks ago, the Munich team had to give up 85:92. During this first game, the national players were still absent because they had taken a break after their stay at the Olympic Games. But now the key players like Andreas Obst, Niels Giffey, Oscar da Silva and Nick Weiler-Babb have returned from vacation and have made a noticeable difference.

The decisive victory

In the friendly against Strasbourg, Devin Booker and Carsen Edwards in particular showed strong performances and, together, scored most points of the game. These two players were able to demonstrate their talent and skills, which could be of great importance for the upcoming BBL games. The Canadian coach Gordon Herbert was positive about the development of his team: "The first two weeks of preparation are now almost behind.

Herbert is known to build an effective system that brings all players into the best possible shape. However, he has admitted that the legs of his players are "still difficult", sees the training process optimistic: "It is a process to bring everyone to a system, get to know everyone and come in basketball form. But we are very confident that we will be in two or three weeks where we have to be."

The upcoming challenges

Time is urged, because in about three weeks the regular season of the basketball Bundesliga starts. On September 20, 2024, the team will compete against the Niners Chemnitz in the BMW Park. This opening game is crucial to set the course for the entire season.

The responsible people of FC Bayern Basketball are determined to optimally use the preparation time in order to reach their limits at an early stage. Training and strategic planning are now in the foreground to set up a powerful team that is ready to master the competitive conditions in the Bundesliga.

Fans can look forward to an exciting season in which Bayern basketball players show their skills and may want to fight for the championship title. The return of the national players to the team is certainly a crucial component that the team can raise to the next stage and supports the trainer in his work. The first games will show how these changes will affect general team performance.
