Dramatic night in Kėdainiai: this is how you can describe the matches of the Lithuanian Basketball League (Betsafe-LKL), in which Nevėžis-Optibet (6/11) managed 79:76 (24:15, 11:14, 18:19, 26:28) to resist the “Neptune” of Klaipeda (6/12).
Evaldas Šaulys, with 7 seconds remaining, hit one of the three most important points of the match and reduced the difference to the minimum (76:77), but Julius Kazakauskas responded with fines, and after a minute of rest Žygimantas Janavičius stopped throwing them – her nerves could not resist the challenge and that was it.
In this way, Nev consecutžis-Optibet, Betsafe-LKL’s series of nine consecutive defeats ended. Including the Citadele KMT tournament, there were up to 11 failures.
The Nevėžis-Optibet team had taken a slightly higher gear since the start of the match: Ariel Hukportis set a good tone, and when the other teammates joined in, the hosts took the lead 24:15. Episodically, the difference reached a double-digit threshold, but Neptune didn’t give up and the intrigue only increased.
“Neptūnas” finally began to breathe on the opponents back (55:56), and when there was a chance to escape after a very long break, the pitches were hit by Panagiotis Kalaitzakis and Julius Kazakauskas – 60:55. In the last minute, the Klaipėda people had a chance (72:74), but J. Gintvainis hit the last second of the attack from afar and it seemed that the situation was getting more complicated. But it turned out that was not all.
After the match, the coach was very happy with the victory David Gale. “Defeat is a habit, victory is a habit. We had to get rid of defeats and move on to victories. We have been in for 37 minutes, those guys had the ball they had to have, it’s a great feeling to come home to achieve the victory. It may be difficult to watch, but our team is improving every day, “he said.
Neptune’s Strategist Tomas Gaidamavičius he wondered what the team was missing. “A slimy, strange and difficult match. There was no way to break them, we started the first half badly, I don’t know what to explain. As if we were in the mood, we understood the importance of the game, “he considered.
