Vilelbanas ASVEL is back on the floor after a three-week break, and team manager TJ Parker spared no praise for Kaunas “Žalgiris” ahead of Thursday’s meeting.
“For us, it’s like a renewal of the season,” Parker said. – Five of our matches were postponed in the Euroleague and the French Championship. I don’t have all of my basketball players yet, some have minor health issues, so we don’t know what to expect in terms of fitness. “
“Still, we are happy to finally be able to play again! Žalgiris is one of the best teams in the Euroleague at the beginning of the season. They play very well both on offense and defense, and their game is based on great movement on the field and a great deal of passing. We will have to try to reach their level ”, added the ASVEL strategist.
ASVEL only confirmed on Wednesday morning that the duel with the Kaunas team will have 8 required players. It is true that it was not reported which basketball players will appear in the game.
At the time, Žalgiris coach Martin Schiller said that such a situation forces us to prepare as if ASVEL were in full force.
“We just realized that they wouldn’t play for three weeks. We don’t know which ASVEL basketball players will be playing tomorrow, so we’re preparing as if they were the full lineup. This is the only way to prepare for the meeting. The situation was similar before the duel with Chimki, Schiller said.
ASVEL played their last game in the French championship on October 11, when they beat Schole Basket by 82:73.
The last time the French team appeared in the Euroleague was on October 9 and lost 73:87 in the duel with Milan AX Armani Exchange.
