Vilnius Rytas (5/19) in the Lithuanian Basketball League (Betsafe-LKL) extended the winning streak to twelve, but we had to tire. Vilnius residents broke Alytus’s Dzūkija (7/15) after a tense 80:74 home fight (16:16, 16:24, 23: 7, 25:27).
“If we go in like we do today, any opponent can take us off the field. Not to mention ‘Žalgiris’ or another team. There were no signs before this match, the approach was appropriate. What happened to the team today, we will have to look for reasons: after Wednesday’s duel at home with Alytus “Dzūkija”, “Rytas” strategist G. Žibėnas spoke. – Many of us did not enter the field today. He had gone somewhere. I hope they are smart men and come to intelligent conclusions. “
The coach of the capital team, who achieved the 12th consecutive victory, did not allow himself to be caressed by the coach: “There is nothing to hide here. We feel a bit embarrassed after this match. Today there was no discipline as the team took a step back, for some reason the “focus” was not complete. We only won in the third quarter, where the men worked honestly. And instead of closing the game in the fourth quarter, we allowed Dzūkija to score 27 points. These are figures completely out of our standards. For some reason we weren’t here today. “
Why is it so much more difficult to start a game than to play after a long break?
“We continue to be a new team, in evolution and in search of our own game. There is one who starts five in a game, today we try to start with two “greats”. We are still on the path of exploration, but we hope that the decisive fights will be less distracted, have a unique style and we will fight for the single goal, ”said G. Žibėnas.
According to him, there are no reasons or excuses for the players to try to save or are already in the match with “Žalgiris”.
“Now the most important thing is to react correctly, get to training correctly, we will have 2 days to prepare for the duel with” Žalgiris “. Then I will have the answer, what are our chances on Sunday. Now we are concentrating on Alytus’ team. Now , not that in mind. We have to prepare, “said Morning’s strategist.
Nikola Vasilev did not find much reproach to his students.
“Thanks to the players we did a good first half, we made good shots, everything went according to plan, but then things were different. We were killed by “Rytas” points after mistakes, “said the” Dzūkija “strategist.
