The Serbs fired forward in the opening minutes (4:15), but four in a row with three points from Gabrielė Šulskė, Kamilė Nacickaitė and Justė Jocytė brought Lithuania closer at 18:22.
Unfortunately, it soon became clear that it was only a brief flash. The Lithuanians started the Serbian streak 0:21 here and fell far behind, 18:43. By the time of the big jump, the difference between the teams had increased to 30 points – 30:60. Lithuanian basketball players made up to 20 mistakes in the first two halves alone.
After the break, the Serbs slowed down a bit, but still fully dominated the field and continued to build on their already huge lead, until they finally reached 41 points – 85:44. The Lithuanians managed to avoid at least 100 lost points for the rest of the time.

We remind you that the Mantas Šernius students landed for Turkey (FIBA 7) two days ago at 55:67 and lost any opportunity to qualify for the Old Continent championships.
The Lithuanians did not enter the third consecutive European championship and, at the same time, the second consecutive championship on the planet. Let’s add two more Olympic Games (Rio and Tokyo), in which ours have never participated before, and even the last seven international tournaments would come out, in which the name of Lithuania did not go down or go down.
The last time Lithuanian basketball players participated in the Old Continent Championship was in 2015 and they took a rather high eighth place, when in the quarterfinals they fell from the Belarusians 66:68 only after a dramatic fight.
Gabija Meškonytė and Laurita Jurčiūtė, who suffered injuries, and Laura Juškaitė, who had recently contracted the coronavirus, were unable to help the Lithuanian national team in the last selection window.
Lithuania was last in Group E, because the completely alien Albanian team was eliminated from the tournament, which did not make it to the bubble-based tournament in November.
