Kaunas “Žalgiris” (7/11) will try to extend the series of victories in the Euroleague with a very difficult away match against tournament leaders CSKA Moscow (14/4).
Both teams have been hot lately – “Žalgiris” has won six times in a row, and in the last round CSKA’s series of twelve wins was ended by Vitorija “Baskonia”.
Once upon a time, the people of Žalgiris failed this test, losing 78:87 at home to CSKA. It is true that Kaunas Club was not in such an ascent and suffered its third successive failure.
Before leaving for Moscow, the strategist of “Žalgiris” Martin Schiller reviewed pending matches.
“CSKA is a very good team, obviously a team with a lot of experience and talent. First of all, they organize attacks very well, they have talented individual point collectors, not to mention Mike James. They are also among the teams that shoot 3-pointers most frequently, the tall ones picking up balls well on attack. The biggest challenge will be controlling these factors ”, said the strategist.
– The weekend match against Pasvalys Milk Stars was postponed, how did this change your plans?
– Changed our plans in a good way, we have a day off. Physically, we benefit.
– Can postponed games be viewed in a positive light at the moment and how will they fit into your busy schedule for the rest of the season?
– First of all, they are definitely not good things, because the match was postponed for bad reasons. Of course they will get tough on the schedule later, I don’t know how it will be done, I don’t think anyone knows. We don’t know when they will be played. All the LKL teams are in the same boat, I think a conscious decision will be made and the season will end in a healthy way.
– How do you rate Mike James, who is among the top three players in the Euroleague?
– I read it in the press … CSKA is among the top three teams in the tournament, and he is the leader of this team, so he will definitely be at the top of that ranking, but I can’t say the exact place.
– Will you play against two of this season’s favorites, will this week be the toughest season?
– It will be difficult, we are not alone in such challenges. Now looking at the table, it is clear that we will be playing against two tall teams. I will stick to my previous opinion, everyone can beat everyone, it would be difficult to play against any team.
– Teams that went to Russia in the past were often infected with coronavirus, do you take additional security measures in this regard?
– No, we will not go any further, but we always try to take care of everything as best as possible, we will behave as on any other trip. We touch a tree and hope things go as well as possible.
