The Lithuanian team opened the FIBA ”bubble” in Vilnius with a historic failure. On Friday, Darius Maskoliūnas 76:80 students (22:21, 24:17, 13:22, 17:20) landed in Group C of the 2022 European Championship for Danish basketball players.
“Everyone must take responsibility and correct that mistake. Shame. I can’t say otherwise. You need to rinse that bad taste out of your mouth and spit it out. This can only be done with victory,” said B. Matkevičius.
The assistant coach called not to look back and see what awaited us next: “We are looking at the next stage, we have to move on. We think of the Belgians. We have highlighted their game against us in Belgium, where we have been defeated, you have to pay attention to their physique and not allow them to beat us. If we let ourselves be pressured again, it will be bad. The Belgians play physically, they jump, they seize the balls and from that they live in attack, accumulating cheap points. And when the flame is lit, the coach starts, the team has a different face. “
According to him, it is necessary to reduce errors in the attack, stretch the defenses of the opponents, not allow them to hold back.
The match starts on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. The Belgians began to perform in the Vilnius bubble on Friday at 90:62, crushing the Czech Republic. The Lithuanian team will seek revenge for their failure in Mons last February at 65:86.
The last “window” of the European Championship selection contest, in which the holders of two tickets for the final stage in 2022 will be announced, is awaiting next February. The Lithuanian Basketball Federation will once again look to host Group C teams in Vilnius.
