This was the second such humiliation of a Turkish superclub this Euroleague season: in mid-November, Fenerbahche flanked 55:97 in Barcelona.
These matches marked the beginning of an uncontrollable recession: during the last 8 rounds, I. Kokškov’s students lost 7 times.
Despite a memorable triumph for the Slovenian national team at the Old Continental Championships and a record of numerous honorable records collected during his career across the Atlantic, the Serb now appears to be at a dead end.
“It just came to our knowledge then. If you haven’t seen the game, the result says it all and says it well, there is nothing to add here,” the Fenerbahche strategist, who turned 49 on the evening, did not want to comment on the evening in Kaunas. Thursday.
The birthday was unsuccessful from the start. The guests were unable to score nearly half of the first half until Edgaras Ulanov finally forcibly defeated the former team’s defense.
But neither the Lithuanian nor anyone in the Istanbul Club ranks posed a more serious threat to the high-profile “Žalgiris”.
Tried by Nando De Colo, but the desperate attacks of the 33-year-old Frenchman spoke of the unshakable consequences of trauma or the imminent twilight of his career.
“I have no answer as to why we did not start the match for the first time apathetically, without energy, did not react to events. We played not bad, but miserably,” I. Kokoshov did not wrap himself in cotton.
He praised E. Ulanov for his combativeness and “desire to win encoded in DNA,” and Martin Schiller, a former colleague from the Utah Jazz Club, for his mind and diligence.
However, when asked about his own transition from the NBA to the Euroleague basketball, I. Kokškov raised his eyebrows.
“You love basketball, if my team loses by almost 40 points, you still want to ask me something,” said the Fenerbahche coach, assuring him that he was not stubborn and trying to adapt to other playing trends in Europe.
Jan Vesely and Alex Pérez did not injure the Turks on Thursday.
Fenerbahche won 16 times in Euroleague duels and Žalgiris had 11 victories.
In the last season cut off by the coronavirus, the teams managed to face each other only in Istanbul, then Kaunas defeated 79:76.
Žalgiris will host Bayern Munich next Wednesday, playing with Piraeus Olympiacos at Fenerbahche’s home.
