After the coronavirus, Šarūnas Jasikevičius returned to the bench for “Barcelona” (2-1), and the team he directed broke “Valencia” (2-1) at the start 71:66.
Man of the match
However, after the match, Shar drew attention to the Euroleague during the pandemic and sent a message to the tournament leaders.
“The Euroleague is trying to deliver, but due to the coronavirus, it is losing control of the tournament. We have gathered here to play and train, but we need to have better conditions and better solutions to travel. There is also a lack of clarity on what the Euroleague will do with the matches that have not been played. We need clarity, “said Jasikevičius.
“The situation is complicated, although the Euroleague is making efforts, but it is not easier for coaches and players,” Jasikevičius continued. “We have to think about our own health and the health of our fans, it is necessary to organize a meeting where everything would be discussed.”
Speaking about the match, Jasikevičius was satisfied with the victory and praised the Latvian Rolandas Šmitas, who played a career match in the Euroleague (15 points, 7 rebounds, 23 points).
“I am very happy with this victory,” Jasikevičius said at the post-match press conference. – This is a difficult week for us, because we could not train normally and we are out of rhythm. Still, we have shown character and I hope we are on the right track.
We are in a bad situation with tall people and nobody deserves a good game more than Rolands Schmidt. Train like some other guys I’ve seen in my career. Of course, he lacks experience and rhythm after two seasons in which he played little, but it was an opportunity for him and he took it. “
The Lithuanian specialist was also satisfied with the work of his students in his bag.
“We were very solid on defense, but we couldn’t complete our attacks in the second half. The opponents took a lot of shots in the last seconds of the attack and in the first part of the game we didn’t show the kind of physique we wanted. After the break, we played a little harder, which is very important in the Euroleague ”, taught Jasikevičius.
Barcelona host Athens Panathinaikos club (1-1) at home on Thursday.
