Kaunas team “Žalgiris” suffered the third consecutive defeat in the Euroleague, playing away, for the fifth time in a row, and after such series the team should regroup, my player Rokas Jokubaitis.
For the second week in a row, the Kaunas players played in Istanbul and for the second time in a row they received a painful cut, this time from Istanbul in Fenerbahche (61:84).
“There was really little positive, it may not exist at all now,” said Jokubaitis, who scored 8 points in the locker room after the game. – There are four games left in the Euroleague. As the coach mentioned, the season is definitely not over yet. We need to regroup, to meet again. Maybe we fight for the first five minutes and then we throw them a little bit. As the coach said, we just died on the field. We weren’t here today. They were faster everywhere. We didn’t even sacrifice ourselves, we didn’t fall on our balls, we ran like headless chickens.
It is very difficult psychologically and physically, we are weak. On Sunday an important battle awaits us and those four games that remain … We will try. I don’t know what the coaches’ methods will be, but I think we should look in the mirror ourselves. We have to do double for the team and for ourselves, then we’ll end the season with more fun.
Rock Jokubaitis comment:
“Žalgiris” is currently in eleventh place in the Euroleague, and for the remaining four days he will play at home with Maccabi Tel Aviv, ALBA Berlin and Panathinaikos in Athens and guests with Bayern Munich.
– Rokai, Fenerbahče scored 14 more balls. Was it by effort?
– After losing such a game, it seems that everything is going wrong. The rebounds allowed them to launch a quick attack as many points as they scored in a quick attack late in the second half. They escaped, and our attack today did not stop, we were disturbed by the change in their defenses. We took unprepared and illogical shots, and they bounced off the balls and launched into quick attacks. It is very difficult to play this way.
The attack on our team is a horse, but we don’t function as we should. Then, even on defense, we didn’t get anywhere, we played four against five.
– You only scored 61 points today. What was missing in the attack?
– We didn’t do everything we were prepared for, and that’s why. 61 points scored … We really got caught up in the attack. This is difficult to comment on. He was and is our horse, we feel good in attack, and when we attack well, it is easier on defense. We are very close. We will do video reviews. We have to stretch in attack, and more in defense.
– You mentioned that the team should discover new things. What you think?
– At the end of the season everyone is hard, the players are not in good physical shape. We need to take even more care of our bodies. These are just personal things. This is followed by tactics. I think that almost everything should change, I cannot highlight a single thing. I think we have to go from the basics, as we did before the season, to reinterpret everything. Where we get more points, where we get more. We need to fix those things ASAP. There is not much time left.
