Nuotr. Ira Somov (VTB United League)
On September 18, in the final of the Aleksandras Gomelskis Cup tournament, Kazys Maksvytis, coached by Perm “Parma”, desperately lost 40 points (51:91) to CSKA Moscow.
Eight days have passed and already in the official match the team led by Lithuanians has reached a rematch.
At the start of the last quarter in the VTB United League match, the Perm club were 22 points behind (61:83), but the match was completed by 36:12 and after Maxim Grigoriev’s victorious shot, CSKA broke the club 97:95.
Maksvytis is working in Russia for the second season and has beaten the country’s grand prix for the first time.
“It just came to our attention then. Everything floats before my eyes like in a dream – Maksvytis said after the victory. – I thought that this only happens in children’s basketball, when a game is lost by 40 points, and a week later already you beat the same team. We tried to stay in the match, even though we made a lot of mistakes, but we kept fighting until the end, scoring three points. With an opponent like CSKA we have to wait for the moment when the opponents relax. Congratulations to our fans , this is a great event for us. “
Winning shot:
Dimitris Itoudis, the painfully lost CSKA helmsman, decided to give basketball players training instead of a day off.
“Congratulations to the Parma team, they showed the spirit of the winners and did not give up. Now it will be important to understand how this happened, why we stopped playing, said Itoudis. – We have no right to take our foot off the speed pedal when It has a great advantage. Parma has quality, spirit, chemistry, strength. I told the team about it, but it didn’t work out, so I take responsibility myself.
We had 20 points with seven minutes to go, and then they scored 6 three points in a row. I brought our most effective basketball players back onto the field, but we took another heavy hit. Getting to CSKA is just the first step. You must then consistently demonstrate that you belong at this level. So tomorrow, instead of a day off, we will watch a video and train. That is our way of overcoming problems. “
