Kaunas “Žalgiris” lost the defense match in the Euroleague, landing at AX Armani club in Milan at 64:69.
Both teams finished the double week with the same result: 1/1. “Žalgiris” broke Vilerban’s ASVEL on Tuesday, “designers” fell against Istanbul’s “Fenerbahche” on Wednesday.
After the match rival strategist Ettore Messina He spared no compliments to the people of Žalgiris or to his colleague Martin Schiller.
“We won a very good team.” Žalgiris “is one of the best-trained clubs with a great organization, the defense was very well organized and we performed without the player Malcolm Delaney. Almost all the games can now be called playoffs and we are very happy with this victory, “said the strategist.
– This time you were not as productive as in the match against Fenerbahche in Istanbul, what caused Žalgiris’ fatigue or defense?
– I think it’s a combination of both. It also contributed to the fact that we stayed home two days ago and didn’t want to lose anymore. This is the case of the Euroleague, all teams sometimes launch matches on the air, CSKA yesterday got thirty points “Anadolu Efes”. I don’t think it is correct to compare one match directly with another.
– You interacted with Martin Schiller in Milan after the match, how unusual is he and how do you rate his Euroleague debut?
– First of all, I think he’s a great strategist, we went through the United States, we met in Europe. At the same time, he is a great classic personality. I think he’s doing well, we’ve borrowed some things from Žalgiris. Schiller’s situation is compounded by the loss of Garino at the start of the season, this time without Milaknis.
– Lithuanian basketball has had a lot of problems with the Danes lately, how can you evaluate Shavon Shields performance?
– I think she is playing a great season, we are very happy with her. He is good on both sides of the field, he can defend hard and impose points, we are very happy with that.
– How do you deal with Marius Grigonis and a light attack on “Žalgiris”?
– Grigonis is one of those players that you are not going to stop at all, you are just trying to stop him, trying to allow him to take the ball as little as possible, to build a taller player next to him. This time at the end of the game Kyle Hines helped a lot, the defense of the weak side is what we lacked against Fenerbahce. We led the entire match with just a few points and everything could turn in any direction in just a few moments.
