Žalgiris strategist after the game Martin Schiller He reviewed the return of Patricio Garino, the performances of some players and the plans for the near future.

“We are happy with the win, of course. On the long break, they were poorly defended, they rushed under the basket with ease, they have the right players for it and we struggled to stay ahead of them. They also solidly rejected the balls and scored. nine 3-pointers with a good shot. After a long break, we did better with both, “said the strategist.

– There was no lack of energy at the start of the game, was it emphasized?

– I agree, at the beginning we were very focused on defense. This has not been emphasized exclusively, we expect it in every game and in every training session. This is not exceptional.

– Surprised by Paulius Jankūnas’ triples?

– I’m not surprised at all. We shoot before every game we’ve had at 56, so it was only a matter of time before the triple was spilled. People don’t consider him a pitcher, although in a career he throws 35 percent fitness, and four hits is great.

– How can you assess the performance of Patricio Garino after such a long break?

– The important thing is that he spent about fifteen minutes in the square and did not feel any pain, he did not hesitate in the square. This is the most important thing for us. He has not played for a year and a half and is still in some stage of rehabilitation.

– What is the situation of Joffrey Lauvergne’s back?

– Everything is fine, we are happy about that.

– Will Patricio Garino play in the Euroleague?

– We still do not know if he will take the field on Thursday before Maccabi.

– The eighteen-year-olds from “Žalgiris” played in the Euroleague youth tournament this weekend, did you see their performances?

– I did not see the game, but I saw the results. Honestly, I didn’t have time to watch the game, but the result is welcome. The Žalgiris Youth Program is one of the best in Europe. We do not expect their victories in the Euroleague, that is not our goal, the most important thing is the development of the players and I am happy to be in that environment.
