Lukas Lekavičius has recovered from the coronavirus and will help Kaunas “Žalgiris” in Tuesday’s match with “Crvena Zvezda” from Belgrade. This was confirmed at the press conference by technician Martin Schiller.
Fines are being issued this season
“He will be allowed to play and we hope he shows up on the field,” Schiller said. – In training, he looked good, knowing Luke hadn’t played for over 10 days. The endurance level is not yet at the highest level, but before training the team had three individual workouts. “
“In the first training session, he did only half of the training, then he participated in the whole training session and will have another training session today (Monday). We are optimistic that it will benefit us in the game, “added the specialist.
The coronavirus was detected in Lekavičius on February 5. He played his last game on January 31. and missed a total of six games, including four in the King Mindaugas Cup final.
Speaking about the future rival, Schiller pointed out that despite being infected by the coronavirus, the Serbian team has put up a serious fight in their last match.
Crvena Zvezda is a team that has been exposed to the coronavirus for the past two weeks. A team that, despite these circumstances, fought very well at home and played a tenacious match against Zenit. A new coach, a different face for the team. We look forward to the next meeting, “Schiller told Crvena Zvezda.
Asked about the changes introduced by Dejan Radonjic, Schiller singled out the defense.
“The players are practically the same. They were filled with some basketball players after the game with us, which was in the early stages of the season. Crvena Zvezda has a different defense on the other side Pikenrolo situations, but most of the players are the same and the face of the team is quite similar.
You can create a game with Torrian Walden, Dejan Davidovac. Of course, most of the points are scored by Jordan Loyd. So, I would say that there are significant differences in defense, “said the starter of” Žalgiris “coach.
Johnny O’Bryant, the second most productive player on the team, recently left the team. It was this aspect of the American that Schiller also highlighted.
“As you said, the first aspect is the points you accumulate. With O’Bryant’s departure, they also lost altitude. You answered this question yourself, “added the strategist.
When asked how Crvena Zvezda is trying to adjust to O’Bryant’s departure, the Žalgiris strategist singled out Davidovac.
“Davidovac is like a Swiss army knife. You can play in four different positions, from the first to the fourth. Both Walden and Loyd had faced each other at the same time, so Davidovac had to take over the development of the game and play more on the perimeter.
“We think there will be something similar on Tuesday, so one of the main tasks will be to stop Davidovac at the perimeter,” Schiller said.
