Žalgiris strategist Martin Schiller thanked the fans who supported Jonava a lot after the game at the press conference, was happy with the departure of newcomer Emmanuel Mudiay and had complaints about the team’s defense.
“I am happy for the season that started with the victory, which is very important for us. We are happy for the spectators gathered in Jonava, the great atmosphere, I also thank our fans, we really feel their support ”, said M. Schiller.
– You had an advantage of 17 points at the same time, why did the opponents manage to get closer and recreate the intrigue?
– The opponents just attacked well from a distance, hitting maybe six 3-pointers in the fourth half, which is impressive.
Before the game, I told the guys that this is a good hitting team. After the break, we let them shoot, so we’ll have a lot to talk about.
– How important is the psychological side to start the season with victory?
– Definitely very important.
– Mantas Kalnietis played only 7 minutes, his playing time is limited while protecting the health of the basketball player?
– He is still coming back from Achilles pain and was also being treated for an ankle injury in the summer. I think your situation is improving.
– What would you like to adjust the most in your game?
– I cannot highlight a specific aspect. We need to improve the game both in attack and defense. After all, this is still a very early stage of the season, so we have a lot of room for improvement.
We have many new players in our ranks, for many of them this is their first experience in the league, expecting a lot of work.
– How do you rate Emmanuel Mudiay’s progress?
– After the trip to Turkey, Mudiay’s progress in adapting to European basketball is increasingly noticeable. He has a new experience in Europe, even in the first seconds of the rain for the Žalgiris fan band.
I think his adaptation will take time, but I can say that he has made a big leap in the last week. We keep working and trying to adapt.
