Izquierda responds to Goudelock’s discontent: “I can’t give you more” / News

The Vilnius “Rytas”, who have been stagnant in recent weeks, are forcing Donald Kairis to turn his head on how to fire up the team’s players for duels. After losing sensationally in Pasvalys, the specialist put the finger in two key aspects that his students did not fulfill.

“The rival plays very well for the second game in a row, with a lot of confidence, with a lot of energy,” Kairys began at the press conference. – With a small rotation, they are able to find so much strength that they win the fight for bounced balls. With this lineup, we need to control the fight for the balls. The question is probably not about composition, but about start and combat. We must discover the brutality within ourselves.

Another thing that was very important was the aggressive play, forcing the rivals to punish because they don’t have many substitutions. But again we lost here: the rivals took 27 penalties, we were only twelve, although we emphasized the advances in the middle and by Brankas Mirkovičius. Again, to a door. “

– Rookie Maurice Ndour made his debut. What impression did it leave?
– He did a workout on the go, did a medical checkup, showed various combinations we knew we would use, and threw him into the fight right away. I think he gave this and that and it will only get better with time.

– Andrew Goudelockas has said that the coach did not find him suitable for this team. How do you react to this?
– As of today, he will probably be the team’s most shooting player during the season. Perhaps those shots are not of that quality and there may be an error in the combinations you choose or in your own choice. But I can’t give you more things. I can give minutes, a ball, a barrier, your work continues. You have to do it.

– You probably have reproaches for your defense work. Do you listen to them despite successfully attacking?
– He never boasted of being a defensive player, but the two balls that Brankas Mirkovičius ripped from his head cost him too much, maybe even a match.

– Did you have a conversation with Goudelock after his interview with the BasketNews.lt portal?
– No, I’ve done it before.
