Kaunas “Žalgiris” achieved the fourth consecutive victory in the Euroleague, following the decisive launch of Marius Grigonis 74:73, which beat Bayern Munich.
“Žalgiris” won such a drama for only the second time this season after free throws from Rokas Jokubaitis broke the Piraeus Olympiacos club in the first round.
Kaunas Strategist Martin Schiller So far, his Euroleague debut can be considered very positive: he has already created the second series of four wins.
After the game, the specialist revealed a more specific plan for the last attack and sent congratulations to the fans.
– Did the last attack go according to plan?
– I already mentioned that when I got the job, they told me that in the last attack, the ball should always go to Marius Grigonis, and we completed it.
– Were you going to foul in the last attack of the opponents?
– No, the plan was not like that, we were going to handle it without raping.
– The players mentioned that there were several options in the last attack, what were they?
– We plan to reveal several players, Artūras Milaknis, Nigel Hayes and Marius. We just planned to give the ball to the first exposed player and he became Marius.
– How did Marius Grigonis grow to make such pitches?
– You have assumed the role entrusted to you and it is not easy. He’s a guy who often has the ball, shoots a lot, leads the team in attack. Many men, having received such a role, accept it, but Marius handles it perfectly.
– Bayern took your triples from you, but you knew how to respond to their physicality, what allowed you to do that?
– For me, the biggest victory became a defense effort. This was the most important thing for me in December. Adaptability … The effort and strength of my players and the atmosphere in the dressing room are incredible. I am satisfied with the approach shown on defense.
– You mentioned that they told you the ball should go to Marius Grigonis at the crucial moment. What specifically changed that thought?
– It wasn’t a specific conversation. Speaking of the composition of the team, we just had those conversations, remembering and his matches in the ranks of ALBA we knew that he has such abilities. It was not up to Paul to introduce such rules, we only discussed the players in the coaching staff.
– How did you pause Wade Baldwin?
– It is really very important for the Munich club, especially after the fall of Vladimir Lucic. He excels towards the basket, shoots well from medium distance, I remember him perfectly from the G League teams, Portland and Dallas. I think the guys managed well, Thomas Walkup worked well, Lukas Lekavičius managed even when he was low, he was able to hit the balls.
– A month ago, the coaches’ bench had a problem due to poor communication, and this time it was so active that it earned a technical foul. How did you react to that?
– I was disappointed at the time, but I really can’t be mad about it. The judges’ whistle was correct because we had already received a warning before. I can’t really blame this kind of player participation.
– What happened at the end of the second half?
– Honestly, I’m not sure. I don’t even know who committed the non-sports fouls, Jankun and Johnson? Reynolds? Everything was fine after that, so I really don’t know what happened.
– Do you have Christmas messages for fans and players?
– Players will have two days off and then we will get to work. They need to rest psychologically and I really have to say they deserve a break. To the fans … The assistants in the dressing room said that such a victory would be even more impressive with a large crowd of fans, even the Bayern representatives told me about it. Congratulations to the fans on Christmas and thank you for the support you can be, I know it’s happening in the social space. I hope I have a crowd of fans in the arena.
– There are layoffs in the NBA, something interesting for “Žalgiris”?
– Of course, these are great players, but we are not planning changes.
