Bjorkgren, who has been an assistant to the Toronto Raptors for the past two years, won 121: 107 against the New York Knicks in the first official game in charge of the Pacers, while Sabonis, who led the visiting team, scored 32 points and 13 rebounds.
The taller Pacers, who dominated below the baskets, gave 5 assists and surprised the Americans with their long shots: the center hit 2 3-pointers of 4. N. Bjorkgren made it clear that D. Sabonis would attack from distance throughout the season .
“Domas always spends a lot of time improving his shooting, as well as his ball driving technique. I want him to bounce the ball and immediately carry it to the other side of the field. He can make great passes, so he has no problem launching attacks from team on your own.
Of course, in addition to all this, Domas also builds amazing barriers, makes very good decisions and works fantastic in the penalty area. This season the Dome will be a really tough player to cover, ”said Bjorkgren.
D. Sabonis himself revealed that he trained to take long shots all summer.
“I worked on it all summer. The coach asks us to attack from afar. When he hits the tees, more space appears on the field. In the first game of the season he helped us a lot,” said the 24-year-old athlete.
D. Sabonis did not play in the Orlando bubble last season due to injury, so the Lithuanian NBA basketball player managed to fail.
“I started the season aggressively because it has been a long time since March, when I played the last game. I was excited, I couldn’t even fall asleep in my normal sleep before the game, I was thinking about the game all the time. I wanted to help the team and the coach to achieve victory, “said D. Sabonis.
The next game will be played by the Pacers on the night from Saturday to Sunday, when they will collect weapons with the Chicago Bulls basketball players.
