Vilnius “Rytas” still not stuck in team training Giedrius Žibėnas – this time the Prietai CBet was crushed 97:67.
In the Lithuanian Basketball League (Betsafe-LKL), Vilnius residents are gradually gaining second place, and after such a victory, G.Žibėnas highlighted the work of his students in defense.
“Yes, the players did a very good job on defense today, especially in the second half of the match, they came out very focused, focusing on the leaders of the rivals, because they managed to exclude both Mindaugas Sušinskas and Dominykas Domarkas from the game. “We all play defense today, even Andrew Goudelock had good episodes, he had to defend against Tom Digbeu and it was not so easy for him to find his way to the basket,” said the strategist.
– Ivan Buva made his solid debut, what role do you see in the team?
– We tried to test it together on the field with Martynas Echod during training, today it was not necessary, but if we play with a higher front line of the opponents, Buva can really play both the “fifth” and the “fourth number”. He joined very solidly, already in the first game he sees that he is a high level player.
– How does this change the situation of Rapolas Ivanauskas?
– Rapolas has the “fourth number” with us and everything is fine with him. I don’t want to put Rapolo in the center forward position, I want to emphasize that.
– Will Christian Kitsing need time to get back in optimal shape?
– It will take some time, but already recovering, doing sports with contact. We continue to limit his minutes a bit, but everything will be fine.
– How did you go two and a half weeks without a match?
– Good question. We gave the players a break, even seven of those sixteen days were off, not one after the other, of course. We change something, we add something, because Ivan changes the attack strategy a bit, we put emphasis on defense. We wanted a friendly match during the FIBA window, but we couldn’t find anyone, so there was anxiety before this match, but the players calmed down very quickly in the third half.
– Gytis Radzevičius’s minutes have increased, will there be other players whose time on the field will change?
– Of course, today Gytis fell, there will be another player in the next game. When we defend like this, the attack and the throws will definitely come. We need to keep working, take good episodes of these games and make them permanent.
