On Friday, “Žalgiris” went into quarantine back after losing “Real” 90:93.
“We are definitely not worse, we have not defended as much. In the first half, Real hit very well, in the second half we defended better, more aggressively, full of energy with us. In the third quarter it was as if we had escaped, but the rivals, good players, lived off our mistakes. In the end, we were still able to “close” the match, I myself did not take an opportunity. But the worst thing here is 93 points lost ”, commented M. Grigonis about the match.
Walter Tavares was the biggest contributor to this latest number: the 220cm tall giant scored 22 points in just 21 minutes of play.
“W. Tavares does not create anything one-on-one, everything comes from the Real team game, so here are the tactical errors of our team’s defense. I don’t know what exactly it will take to see the video, “commented M. Grigonis.
While he highlighted mistakes on defense, overall, the 26-year-old basketball player, who scored 17 points, did not seem very disappointed.
Apparently the old man from “Žalgiris” liked the points race, which he got into with his teammates.
“Are we trying to win Real-style? I don’t know, this is our style. We are no worse, we could really hold on to this match. Is the defense concerned? Perhaps, but others should be concerned about our attack. Of course, there is something to fix, but it’s fun that we fought to the end and we really were able to win, “said M. Grigonis.
No more than 300 spectators, 15.5 thousand, were able to take the last opportunity to watch the Euroleague game live before the quarantine. at the Žalgiris stadium with seats, it was like a drop in the bucket.
When asked about the unusual atmosphere, M. Grigonis shrugged.
“Once the game is over, you can’t see the stands. Of course, it would be more fun if you launched a major three-point arena – opponents are covered in easy panic. But physically, without spectators, it’s not more difficult or easier – same thing ”, the player did not emphasize.
We remind you that after the announced quarantine for at least three weeks starting on Saturday, all sports competitions can only be held behind closed doors.
Next Thursday, the people of Žalgiris will continue their performance in the Euroleague as guests at Maccabi in Telcivo (Israel), Real will visit Crvena Zvezda in Belgrade (Serbia).
