At the Betsafe-LKL Championship, fans meet not only well-known people, but also new people who are just starting their way in the world of basketball. One of the most prominent legionaries in the championship is the young defender from Prienai “Cbet” Tomas Digbeu.
The 19-year-old, 199cm tall Frenchman spent most of his career in Spain, where he played for Barcelona’s youth teams.
In Lithuania, the son of the legendary French basketball player Alain Digbeu landed in 2019, when he signed a long-term contract with the Kaunas Žalgiris Club. The champions immediately loaned T. Digbeu to the Prienai team.
Digbeu is now a full and important member of the Cbet team, spending an average of 19 minutes on the court and recording an average of 8.9 points during this time.
It is true that even after playing in Lithuania for almost two years, T. Digbeu is convinced that so far he can call “Barcelona” the team of his life.
“It just came to our knowledge then. I have been playing for various teams in the Barça club’s age group since I was thirteen, so I would say that this is where I grew up and matured,” the basketball player told LKL TV.
T. Digbeu, as he says, played the most memorable game of his life with the Barcelona team: it was a derby against the Real Madrid youth team.
“What he remembered the most was the match in the Spanish Under-16 Championship against Real Madrid. We lost that match by two or three points, it was an incredibly stubborn match. Of course, the referees did their job, as always, ”laughed the legionnaire from the Prienai team.
Viewers of the Betsafe-LKL championship probably remember this French talent best because of the phenomenal flight to Klaipeda’s Neptune basket – this event turned into the most beautiful episode of 2020.
“It just came to our knowledge then. When I fell to the ground, I thought I was happy to still be alive. In general, these placements are not a new experience for me, I really have to practice the placements quite often. It’s always fun when it works during a game, “smiled the basketball player.
