Kaunas “Žalgiris” won the Euroleague by knocking down Belgrade’s “Crvena Zvezda” – 75:62.
He became one of the leading blacksmiths of victory. Marius Grigonis, after the game he did not hide positive emotions.
“The last quarter was four points, real, the defense had to win, but we came up with the idea of defending only from the third half. We started badly, we had to change something, but everything in this way looks different, ”said the defender.
– Does that quality of play allow you to expect a victory at Madrid?
– Our strength has always been this: defend and run. It has disappeared a bit, but defenses like the last quarter would certainly be enough for victory. Sure, the players are different, but we have time to prepare.
– Marko Simonovičius burned down in the first part, but then it became extinct, how did it work?
– We have improved their releases. It was thrown at Rubit before it was possible to raise those hands higher. We need to prevent players from taking advantage of their strengths. Then we activate the defense and we no longer hit it.
– 36 minutes – personal record of your career, would you like to play so much in every game?
– I played those minutes of a good life, Arthur has problems, Luke just returned. Sure, all players want to play more, 36 minutes is really a lot, especially in a double week, but it’s definitely not out of the good life. If only the body allows it, let’s play.
– What are Artūras Milaknis’s problems?
– We’ll find out today or tomorrow. I don’t think I should comment here, doctors will reply.
– What needs to be improved before the game in Madrid?
– You have to improve the start, at the beginning there was not a good tone in the defense. Defense can always be improved, just like a three-point hit, we really missed a lot of free throws. Our game is the best in a fast attack, freer, we have to get it back.
– Does the fatigue in “Žalgiris”, who is free and likes to play fast, affect the team’s play?
-I always feel that fatigue during the season, still that pit comes sometime, at least for me. I still know my body, I know how things will be. We can play every day, if it’s fun, no need to complain, oh how many games.
– Did you want to be in the game of the national team against Denmark?
– It was not thought that I could be there, but the last few minutes really turned my belly. I’m glad there isn’t that summer off because I don’t want that vacation when I can still play. It’s fun for everyone, for the return of Kariniauskas. It’s good to have gotten there and a lot of work awaits us now.
