From now on, the Lithuanian Basketball Federation (LKF) also offers news about this sport in the magazine “Basketball House”. The quarterly publication reviews the news of the Lithuanian national teams, projects organized by the LKF, and pays attention to the current problems of the basketball leagues and the personalities of this sport.
We share a text about the Regional Basketball League.
The 16th season of the Regional Basketball League (RKL) has never been without future basketball stars. In Lithuania’s third division, Jonas Valančiūnas, Lukas Lekavičius, Artūras Gudaitis, Marius Grigonis, Rokas Jokubaitis and other high-level basketball players started their way to the great Olympus of basketball.
2020-2021 Hundreds of promising Lithuanian talents are trying to follow in the footsteps of the mentioned players. The list of this season’s most promising RKL players, who may soon rise to the next level, was based on feedback from coaches, basketball journalists, personal and team achievements and the men’s basketball perspective. Included in the top ten in 2001 and previously born basketball players.
“There is always that workhorse that shoots and surprises through character and stubbornness. We are not pursuing the result of being at the top of the rankings. Of course, our goal is to win every game, which gives confidence to the whole team and to our organization. But at the same time, we understand that if we go to high places, we will pay more attention to the players who can already deliver results. This would put the search for talented children in the background, who could become high-level players. In that case, we would suffer twice. Our greatest victory is to create the conditions to improve and, when the time comes, to help cross the bridge that leads to a higher level, ”said Alfredas Kaniava, director of the Vladas Knašius basketball school.
“I always said that everything must be tested on the field. There is a term for “photo players”. In photos they look neatly older, good data. I tell my players that you are already a very good team in the image, but still very weak on the field. There will be nothing without work. I’m not a huge fan of dozens of similar ones. On the other hand, for someone who does not get into this, it is an even greater motivation to try to show that something went wrong and they did not notice. At that time, it is not worth it for the named players to turn their noses, because in that case someone else will take their place very soon, ”said Vilnius Rytas-MRU-VKM coach Gintautas Regina.
“Some of the Born basketball players already play in LKL or even higher levels. But there are several players of late or especially late maturity. It also happens that the next time the content of natural gifts the basketball players get stuck and not go nowhere, and the strong character content of the youngsters reaches their own. As a general rule, seniors mature and develop at the latest. Nor should it be forgotten that when freshmen come to study in another city, the first year becomes a considerable challenge: they have to adapt to a new environment and a new pace, ”said Arūnas Juknevičius, coach of Vytautas Magnus University.
