The “Rytas” team from Vilnius: a week of decisive tests. This Tuesday, the team faces a serious test in the Champions League against the team “Peristeri” from Athens, but to move to the next stage, the victories of Vilnius are not enough: the results of other matches are well established. Rytas will also compete with the Utena Juventus team in Vilnius this Saturday to enter the semifinals of the King Mindaugas Cup, where they will try to eliminate the 2-point deficit brought by Utena. At the moment, we are talking to the team’s long-term player about the 5 most important days of the season while waiting for “Rytas” and the state of form shown by the team. Andriumi Šležu.
“Tomorrow” is my team, for which I am still ill and which I support. I keep getting into the competition, seeing the results, but the outlook is very bad and completely deviates from what the team declared before the season. There is no connection between players and coaches “I want to believe in a better second part of the season, because the team has potential, but it is very difficult to see progress at the moment,” said A. Šležas.
The fate of “Morning” in Europe
The words of the interlocutor are confirmed by the statistics of the Champions League, according to which Vilnius “Rytas” currently ranks last in the league according to a two-point hit, and according to the game hit only 30th place out of 32. and 28 in terms of overall team performance scores.
The interviewee was surprised by the following numbers: “I would have understood if they were Euroleague numbers, but here is the Champions League where the teams are not impressive. We keep talking about Rytas being a high-level team, but the current results are some of the worst in team history. In my opinion, Rytas’ place is in the European Cup with the annual ambition to enter the Euroleague, but now we have even missed the tournament opportunity. I’m not sure that sacrifice made sense in the transition to the Champions League for financial reasons.
Problems and hopes
Former basketball player “Rytas” explained the team’s poor results both for objective reasons such as injuries, illness and high player turnover, as well as internal team problems. According to the interviewer, some legionnaires do not microclimate.
“It’s sad to see Ryto’s reserve bench, which makes basketball look like a drop. My career has happened like this twice, when Jonas Kazlauskas and Neven Spahija coached” Rytas. “
While Phil Jackson was training for the Chicago Bulls, he once also took players to the locker room and the bulls won other major competitions. If Kairys really sent off the players, unfortunately, it didn’t work out, “said A. Šležas.
When asked where the team could look for potential for the second half of the season, the former basketball player pointed out the great untapped talent of the team: “Maurice Ndour is a great basketball player, you can see that the player is trying hard. and has a passion for basketball. Andrew Goudelock is a very smart and high-caliber player, but looks poor at positional basketball and organizational combinations. Let’s not forget that we also have players from national teams like Martynas Echodas, Arnas Butkevičius, Mindaugas Girdžiūnas. There really is no shortage of talent on the team, you just need to use it correctly. There is a cure for all stuck teams: multiple wins in a row can bring an entirely different game.
The former basketball player also highlighted the importance of the coach – according to the interlocutor – the fast team play that he dominated at the beginning of the season seems to have stopped without thinking, and the coach is unable to adapt to the situation and provide the necessary innovations. As an example, the interlocutor introduced Kaunas “Žalgiris” coach Martin Schiller, who implemented changes with each failed competition and thus got the winning team.
Forecast
Although Betsafe experts give only a 31 percent chance that Vilnius will beat the Athens Peristeri team on Tuesday, A. Šležas predicted that Rytas’ chances of winning this match will be around 50 percent. “I can say the same about the match against Utena. Juventus because this team has a great coach, good players and everyone here knows their place. I really wish Rytas that positive turn this week and that the team will bring more joy to the fans of the team. team. The season is not over yet, so I hope the second part of the season will be better, “said A. Šležas.
