Gulbelė coach surprised: six Lithuanian teams could make world tours

So far, only four clubs, Juventus-Uniclub Casino, Vytis-Gulbelė, Tauras and Pieno Žvaigžd –s, can safely plan a visit to Palanga from July 24-25.

These teams reached the first four in the first and second stages, and the credit points contributed by such actions allow them to feel safe.

Ranking of the Hoptrans 3×3 tournament after the second round:

“The three teams that, in my opinion, mainly prepared for the tournament are the main ones, therefore there are no surprises here,” said Dainius Novickas, the coach of the Lithuanian 3×3 basketball team. – You may not have thought that the people of Utena would win both stages, but you did think they would be in the top three. It is a well-composed team. “

The surprise for D. Novickas was the successful team game Pasvalys.

“I only knew Ovidijus Varanauskas as a good 3×3 player, but the Latvians have also seen this basketball and the whole team still looks beautiful,” D. Novickas praised the Milk Stars.

The teams in positions 5-9 have a good chance of reaching the fights of the final stage. However, these clubs also cannot relax too much as they would no longer be blacksmiths of their own destiny if they left the third round playoffs.

Probably the most intriguing duel will take place in Group A, where teams 8-9 places Prienai and Klaipėda will meet. This game can lead not only to the entrance to the playoffs in the third stage, but also to a place in the final stage. Both teams also fought each other last weekend, then Prieniai’s team was better, winning 20:18.

“I think CBet should get to the final stage,” said D. Novickas more favorably. “They were not very lucky in the first round, but they are one of the best teams in the game.”

Legends, Nevėžis and Rytas-Perlas have had the worst performance so far. These teams have not won a single victory and so far are the last. However, a very successful performance in the third stage could also give them tickets to the final stage.

The victories obtained by strangers in the duel between “Legends” – “Šiauliai”, “Nevėžis” – “Dzūkija” and “Ryto-Perlo” – “Lietkabelis” would bring much confusion to the classification.

During the first two stages of the Hoptrans 3×3 tournament, viewers were able to see a series of spectacular episodes from around the world and the emotions of the players that heated the atmosphere in the Hoptrans arena.

“I think the tournament is already a success. Every team wants to win: it is seen from a variety of emotions or signs as a language displayed. Around six teams can go on world tours, this level would make Lithuania one of the three strongest 3×3 basketball countries in a couple of years. “
