On Tuesday, Rytas begins the international season at home with Peristeri from Athens.
“I don’t even want to think that there is a lack of time, we will be prepared for that. We feel that we have not done our job in the game with” Žalgiris “, so we would very much like to cure this feeling by winning on Tuesday. We saw that we could play basketball from high level, only so far we have been showing it for 20 minutes. But we will definitely be able to do it for the full 40 minutes, “said team strategist Donaldas Kairys.
The club from the Greek capital began their performance in the national championship last Saturday with a victory, defeating Colossos de Rodas 84:81 at home.
Former morning legionnaire Loukas Mavrokefalidis shone in this match. The tall Greek scored 27 points and bounced 7 balls.
In addition to the 36-year veteran who played for Vilnius in the 2017-2018 season, the Peristeri core consists of up to six Americans.
The Peristeri have many aggressive legionnaires and good shots, their players distribute the ball well. L. Mavrokefalidis also played well in the last match. But I don’t think we’ll just focus on that, there are a lot of dangerous players who will need to defend well as a team, “said D. Kairys.
The match at the Siemens Arena will begin at 7.30 pm on Tuesday. This will likely be the last basketball game in Lithuania this fall with spectators in the stands, as the government is expected to pass stricter rules for handling the coronavirus on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, the remaining teams from Group E will test each other: Riga VEF (Latvia) and Strasbourg SIG (France).
