What a difference two days can make.
After going scoreless in FC Bayern Munich’s season opener, Andi Obst bounced back in spectacular fashion, knocking down 9 three-pointers and scoring 31 points to lead Bayern to a 97–88 win over Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade – the German champs' first victory of the season.
Obst connected on 9 of 16 attempts from beyond the arc and added 3 rebounds and 1 steal in the win.<br> “I just let the game come to me and am ready to shoot all the time,” Obst said postgame.
His breakout performance came just two days after a tough night against Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens, where he missed all four of his three-point attempts and finished scoreless, though he did contribute 2 rebounds in 21 minutes off the bench.
“Andi really gave us a big lift coming off the bench and hitting shots right away. He was a huge difference-maker tonight," said Bayern head coach Gordon Herbert. "Andi can do more than just shoot the basketball. It was an unbelievable shooting performance. In the first half, he made some big shots for us – we could have been down 10 or 12 points, but he came in and gave us momentum.”
Obst, who holds the EuroLeague record for most three-pointers made in a single game with 11, credited his readiness and confidence.
“I’m confident. Bad shots don't really exist for me. I enjoy taking them and my teammates trust me. It’s also a team thing – they play for me,” said the 29-year-old sharpshooter.
Last season, Obst shot 42% from three-point range and had several standout performances: hitting a EuroLeague-record 11 triples for 34 points against FC Barcelona in Round 11, and making 8 threes against Zalgiris Kaunas in Round 24. He has also recorded three games in his EuroLeague career with 7 made three-pointers.
