At the press conference held after the match, Kaunas boss coach Martin Schiller highlighted the concentration of the players as the main key to the victory and was pleased to have managed to save their leaders.

“We mainly concentrate on a solid game on both sides of the field. It was important to maintain that concentration and balance the minutes for the players, especially those who play more in the Euroleague. This allowed us to find more minutes for our youngsters to play and improve, ”said the 38-year-old strategist.

– You did not play Crvena Zvezda Belgrade in the Euroleague on Thursday. Was that why the team had so much energy?
– We do not play for cases of coronavirus in the opponent’s field. Missing a Euroleague game gave us 2 days off, which we didn’t want to but we were forced. Of course, a small pause rescues all the busy schedule and the lack of game of Thursday of today was affected.

– After recovering from the coronavirus, Marekas Blaževičius scored 14 points and looked solid. How would you comment on that?
– Firstly, he is a talented player, well, secondly, I was pleasantly surprised today, because in the first training session after the illness he got out of context, which is normal. However, in the second training session, Marek looked pretty good and that surprised me. Today, he also looked good, had the smell and the energy to play. I’m happy about that.

– What is the situation of Lukas Lekavičius?
– He was confirmed to have a coronavirus and Luke was now separated from the team. He is doing well.
