The team led by Arvydas Gronskis slipped into the Group B match for first place.
The Madrid youth, who won the second quarter at 25:12, maintained the lead and reached the final of the qualifying tournament, the winner of which will receive a ticket to the final on Sunday as part of the Euroleague Final Four in May.
On Saturday night, the leader of the Kaunas team was Liutauras Lelevičius, who scored 20 points and bounced 9 balls. Titas Sargiūnas added 13 points and Radvilas Kneizys added 12 points.
Matteo Spagnolo scored 19 points for the Madrid team.
Žalgiris, who became the Euroleague youth champion in 2003 and 2007, did not have all the advantages in the selection this time.
The selection tournament did not take place in Kaunas as usual, but potential team leader forward Paulius Murauskas, who has already made his LKL debut, did not attend Istanbul due to injury.
A.Gronskis was able to rely on several NKL players, and the rest of the team consisted of Žalgiris’ improving team in the Regional Basketball League.
In Istanbul, Žalgiris beat Fenerbach in 84:69 on Friday and another Turkish club in Bursa, Tofash, on Saturday in 76:59.
Real’s talent was even greater, with Tofash defeating 89:60 and Fenerbahche defeating 114: 48.
