We tried to keep our rules, frameworks, how to improvise in certain situations, defend ourselves. I think you can really do play even better. You need to relax and keep going. The whole Žalgiris system is like a fist. We fight for each other and support each other. Regarding the point difference, we all knew the situation of the opponents, but we tried not to pay attention to it We are working on our job and trying to do it well, ”said Vytautas Pliauga, the Žalgiris coach, after the victory.
“We are after 2 weeks of self-isolation, some players have not returned yet. I understand very well young people who have a hard time getting back into the game after a 2 week break. It is practically the same as starting a new season. We have to be happy to have returned and we are already playing, trying to fight. It is a pity that, for objective reasons, we have not been able to demonstrate the game that we are capable of showing. In total, we had 3 workouts. When players return to the court after training in remote home conditions, it traverses the entire respiratory system with great force. The opponents, knowing it would be difficult for us and we would tire quickly, defended aggressively. When the cardiovascular system is not ready, you see that the player lacks oxygen on the field, bad decisions, mistakes and all this are the consequences of a pandemic ”, said Gintautas Regina, coach of Ryto-MRU-VKM.
