He has returned to the helm of the Barcelona club after a brief pause Šarūnas Jasikevičius returned the team to the victorious path.
The blaugrana team broke the ambitious Valencia basketball players at 71:66 away, who suffered their first failure.
After the match, Š.Jasikevičius praised Latvian Rolandas Šmitas: the striker successfully replaced Nikola Mirotičius. R.Šmitas scored 15 points, bounced 7 balls and scored 23 utility points.
The strategist also shared his views on the unpleasant emerging situation in the Euroleague.
“I am very happy with this victory. It is understandable that this is a difficult week for us: we were not able to train much and our team got off the beat a bit. We have shown character and this is something we hope to strengthen.
Sergi Martínez had his role in what he has to do. We have problems with tall people, so Sergi can play in the “third” and “fourth” numbers. He trains very well, but he needs rhythm and experience, his minutes were still very important to us.
Nobody deserves a game as good as Roland Schmidt. In my life, I have seen few players train like that. Obviously he lacks experience and rhythm as he hasn’t played much in the last two years, but that was his chance and he took it.
The coronavirus situation is difficult to solve and the Euroleague is trying to do the best it can, but it is difficult for coaches and clubs to think about our own health and that of our fans. We will have to have a few meetings and think a little more.
The Euroleague tries to survive, but it is already starting to get out of hand. We are there to train and play, but we have to make better decisions about how we get to games and postponed games. More clarity is needed from the Euroleague.
We were very solid in defense throughout the game, but we didn’t finish off the attacks in the second half. They threw a lot in the last 4-5 seconds of the attack, and we didn’t have the physique we wanted, nor did we use the foul limit allowed during the first two halves, that’s not good.
We were a little tougher in the defense of the third quarter and we managed to score some quick points in the counterattacks, which is very important in the Euroleague ”, the Lithuanian summed up from the victorious confrontation with the Valencian team.
