They landed in Kaunas “Žalgiris”, Kėdainiai “Nevėžis”, Athens “Peristeri”, and this weekend also in Pasvalys “Pienovaigždės”.
After eliminating the 14 deficit and gaining a double-digit lead in the third quarter (64:53), Rytas still capitulated 79:82.
On Tuesday another serious test awaits the people of Vilnius: the FIBA Champions League trip to the Strasbourg team, so there is no guarantee that they can get back on the road to victory.
Commenting on another failure, Rytas head coach Donaldas Kairys emphasized at the press conference that it was not tactical errors, but rather the reluctance of the players.
“With such composition, we have unequivocal control over the board, but here it is probably not even a question of composition, but of our participation and fight. We need to discover some brutality in ourselves. I will not take the balls for the players. I will have to find the right words for them.
We emphasized the need to play aggressively and force opponents to foul because they don’t have many substitutions. But here we also lost by one goal: they took 27 penalties and we only 12.
We will try to find out the reasons for this. There are probably a lot of things. I don’t want to justify, but there is a lack of communication, there is no game. “Martin Echod has just returned a month later, Maurice Ndour joined just after half a training session and various combinations, he was thrown into the fight without expecting anything,” said helmsman Rytas.
The strategist also commented on Andrew Goudelock’s public dissatisfaction (18 points) with his role in the team.
“Like today, he’s the one who throws the most shots in the team all season. Maybe they aren’t that good, but it could be due to his own wrong decisions. I can’t give him anything else. I can give minutes, a ball, offer barriers and therefore his work depends on him.
He never boasted of being a defensive player, but those balls that his opponents took from his head cost us too much, maybe even a game, ”said D. Kairys.
This time, the Vilnius people worked without their captain Arnas Butkevičius, but the hosts, who were not helped by Arvydas Šikšnius and Danielis Amigo, also suffered losses.
