Kaunas “Žalgiris” was in the laggard role in the first half of the match, but after the break he finally broke Pasvalys’s “Milk Stars”.
Man of the match
However, this victory for the Lithuanian champions was hampered by the injury of Artūras Milaknis – the basketball player ran into Daniel Amigo, passed him by the shoulder and walked out into the locker room with his face distorted in pain.
Martin Schiller had no further information on the veteran’s injury after the game, but was concerned Milaknis had had shoulder problems earlier.
“We will know more tomorrow, he must be examined by the team doctors. He had a blow to the shoulder and has had a similar injury before,” Schiller told a news conference.
In the duel with the Milk Stars, the team faced Jervrey Lauvergne, who suffered a neck injury, and Lukas Lekavičius, who had COVID-19.
Schiller revealed that we will definitely not see Lekavičius at the King Mindaugas Cup in Panevėžys this weekend, and he remained optimistic about Lauvergne.
“We are very hopeful that Lauvergne will be able to play for Panevėžys. He suffered a minor injury, we have to watch him, but I remain optimistic about his game at the weekend,” said the Austrian.
Speaking of the match, Schiller divided them into two parts: before and after the break.
“It just came to our notice then. We were certainly not happy with the game before the break, but there was a good reaction during it, we only lost 28 points in the second half, which allowed us to lay the foundations for victory. In the first half, the “Milk Stars” hit very well, and fouls hit us – they took 11 penalties and took us off the hook, “Schiller explained about the differences in the game.
