The Citadele King Mindaugas Cup (KMT) started with an intriguing match.
At the opening of the fights of the first stage in the Kėdainiai trip “Nevėžis-Optibet” 66:81 (19:12, 17:27, 18:18, 12:24) fell against “Vytis” of Sakiai.
It is important that this time Marius Kiltinavičius did not train for the Kėdainiai team due to illness, he was replaced by Šarūnas Ciparis.
The retaliation match for these teams will take place on October 27 in Kėdainiai.
The Nevėžis-Optibet team gained the lead at the end of the first quarter (19:10), but they dissolved very quickly. Darjušas Lavrinovičius and Paulius Semaška narrowed the gap, and Aurelijus Pukelis’s three-point lead, Vytis (24:23).
Thanks to the long throws, the forks stayed ahead and took the lead with a break – 39:36. It is true that P.Semaška earned a fourth foul, which means that the leader may have to save himself in the second half of the match.
Still, he didn’t get in the way: “Vytis” kept ahead and carried on, and “Nevėžis” had a hard time showing his advantage. At three minutes into the fourth quarter, the hosts were ahead 65:59, but Domantas Vilys responded with three points. At the same time, Marijus Užupis replied and Š. Vingelis increased the difference to eight – 72:64.
Not only that, Vaidas Čepukaitis received a technical foul and Nevėžis-Optibet began to sink. For the rest of the time, the guests did not create resistance: they made mistakes, did not attack, accumulated fouls, so Vytis consolidated the victory.
Kėdainiai’s team scored just 3 3-pointers out of 12 in this match – D.Vilys stabbed them all.
Nevėžis-Optibet: Vaidas Kariniauskas 15, Domantas Vilys 12 (3/4 trit.), Ignas Lukošius 11, Vaidas Čepukaitis 9, Martynas Pocevičius 7, Panagiotis Kalaitzakis 6 (8 rooms).
Vytis: Aurelijus Pukelis 22 (9th chamber, 33 nb), Darjušas Lavrinovičius 14, Paulius Semaška and Laurynas Samėnas – 10 each, Šarūnas Vingelis 7.
