Kaunas “Žalgiris” achieved another victory in the Lithuanian Basketball League (“Betsafe-LKL”), breaking the “Neptune” of Klaipeda.
Žalgiris strategist after the game Martin Schiller shared his thoughts on the match and Marek Blaževičius position in the team.
“We are happy with the victory and how we achieved it: defense. The last five minutes of the first half were bad, but we were focused all the time and that is the most important thing,” said the Austrian.
– Were the opponents’ 3-point shots and 19 errors caused a key aspect of your defense?
– The errors were caused by our aggression, and the precision often depends on how much we are able to complicate the shots of the opponents and we did it solidly. The numbers satisfy us.
– Marekas Blaževičius is the Lithuanian who receives the most attention. How can you evaluate your performance today and what are your plans for the future?
– The most important thing is that it improves and we will have to find it in minutes. He is a talented boy, we love him so much, both professionally and personally. On Monday he will go to the camp of the national team in Vilnius, we are happy about that, because it is very important that a young player plays. Our situation is as it is, COVID-19 did not help him either, as three LKL matches in which he would have played were postponed. Suddenly the month came when he lost the game and that is a problem for the young player. We like it and we work hard, we handle the situation well.
– In the NBA G became the coach of the year, comparing the level of talent, what are the ceiling of opportunities for Marek Blaževičius and Rokas Jokubaitis?
– See you next summer. I think they both acted wisely in leaving the rookie swap. It is very important for clubs to see foreign talent live, I have been doing this show at the Utah Jazz Club for the last three years, I know the whole process. It is very important to see the Europeans live because they are not so well known. We have a lot more information on the NCAA players. We know the European level, but we need to see them live.
