“Congratulations to Bayern on their victory and their historic entry into the playoffs. This is an incredible achievement for German basketball. Congratulations on this special event,” M. Schiller opened the press conference.
He nearly ruined the vacation himself, with 2.8 seconds to play. “Žalgiris” was still ahead 70:69.
“I was disappointed because we lost. But I am not disappointed in anyone else. The team came to the game, fought and showed the character that we had all season. There are no accusations from me about fighting, “emphasized M. Schiller.

It is true that he did not like the number of the hungry any more.
“If I had to point out one thing, that’s 19 mistakes,” Schiller said. – With such a number, it is difficult to accumulate points. But even with 19 errors, we had a good chance of winning. It hurts, but it’s part of the job. “
Other numbers in “Žalgiris” were better: the guests scored triples more accurately (52.9%, 9/17) than the two (47.4%, 18/38).
But the most important numbers are on the tournament table. “Žalgiris” is left with 33 victories after 33 rounds. Already after Tuesday’s victory against ALBA in Berlin, the Lithuanian champions learned that the door to the Euroleague quarter-finals had closed early.

But “Žalgiris” breathed in the back of the playoffs. For one of them, only in Munich.
“We still have one game left next week with Panathinaikos,” emphasized M. Schiller when asked to evaluate his debut season in Kaunas, Euroleague. – But overall, it was a good season. We were so close to the playoffs that it’s hard to see it as a good season right now. Because it hurts. And it hurt for a few days, as Maccabi’s defeat took away that hope.
But I want to believe it was a good season. It was really very good. With 16 wins, maybe 17, we should normally have a good chance of making the playoffs. With all those wounds … But no excuses. We could go in. Good season, but it hurts ”.
