Šarūnas Jasikevičius Troops expect a dead or alive battle in the Euroleague. In the quarterfinals, the home of Barcelona will host Zenit Saint Petersburg and determine which team will advance to the final four in the Euroleague.
Before the fifth game of the series, the Lithuanian did not lack concentration.
“The fifth game is waiting and it is time to give everything, leave all forces on the floor. We took lessons from what we had been through, I think the players realized the need to play harder, more disciplined, with clear ideas of what we have not done so far.
We worked for eight months on the home advantage that we will have in the fifth game. I don’t think we’ve shown a perfectly good game in this series yet, we’ll try to do that. We need to know what to attack and how to do it. After four matches, you need to know where your opponents will risk and where they won’t. On top of all that, we have to fight. A fight for every ball, every inch. If the opponents bounced 14 more balls, you didn’t hit the maximum.
We have to control the defense, we don’t show it badly, but it has to be better than in the fifth game. We have to attack the basket, be tough and not wait for the fouls usually called because that is not the case in the playoffs.
We threw both points badly, we attacked very little from distance, so we have to improve it, ”said Š.Jasikevičius.
Game 5 of the quarterfinal series will take place on Tuesday night.
