“It just came to our notice then. We wanted to adjust it to the maximum, especially in the last LKL league game. Of course, we were also preparing for a duel with Chimki, Shiller said, adding that preparations were further hampered by the uncertain whether the two rival leaders, Greg Monroe and Alexei Swede, would play.
“Both basketball players are training, we have to be prepared for them to play so that we don’t collide. We carry out individual and image analyzes. We are ready to play against them, – continued the coach of “Žalgiris”. – A. Švedas is one of the dominant players on this continent. One way to stop him is to try to keep the ball to a minimum, which is quite difficult. The second thing is to find the right defender for him. “
According to Schiller, it will not be easy to play with Chimki: “They are a fast team that runs to attack. It will be a test for our defense. Intensity and athleticism are two things that we must show in every game. It is not clear who will play, we have to adapt to the rivals on the field. If G. Monroe and A. Švedas don’t play, probably the most important person on the field will be Jonas Jerebko. “
He also respectfully appreciated his future rival, Rimas Kurtinaitis, the team leader from the Moscow region.
“I’ve never lost to play him, but I know that he’s a respectable, attack-oriented coach who gives his students freedom,” Schiller said.
He also mentioned that Patricio Garino and Marekas Blaževičius, who had experienced the pain of the road again, would not go to Moscow together with the team.
Marius Grigonis, one of the leaders of “Žalgiris”, expected to see A. Švedas playing for the “Chimki” team.
“When A. Švedas is on the field, he creates a game, he is given more combinations, and when he is not, others share their time and shots. When A. Švedas plays, he takes more responsibility, “said the defender.
According to him, the situation is strange this season, but it is impossible to control the coronavirus: “It will be the case that one plays, the other does not play. It is important that we play in general. It will not be otherwise. There will be those illnesses throughout the season. Neither the Euroleague nor the basketball players are too concerned about that. “
When asked how they are protected and if those measures are effective, M. Grigonis smiled.
“After the game I go back to the hotel, we are waiting for the test answer, that negative answer helps psychologically. Everyone tests us 2-3 times a week, we walk around in masks, we don’t go to bars and restaurants, we can’t control anything else. We are all ready for that and everyone’s goal is to finish the season, “he said.
