“Tomorrow” at home 95:83 (26:20, 16:20 :, 31:17, 22:26) defeated the “Neptune” of Klaipėda (5/11).
It is true that Vilnius’ victory was somewhat aggravated by the incident at the start of the match. Already 2 min. Martynas Echodas was injured as the game became more physical and he had to leave the field.
This meeting for Rytas was the first after the changes in the coaches’ headquarters: G. Žibėnas, who had previously worked as an assistant, is currently in charge of the club, although he had already made his debut at Betsafe-LKL when he replaced the disqualified D Kairis.
For Vilnius, this is the third win in a row for Betsafe-LKL, they hold the third position in the tournament table.
The first part of the match was quite undulating after 20 minutes of play. Rytas led by just 42:40.
However, after the break, the Vilnius team maintained a 12: 0 streak and escaped from the rivals, and at the same time awarded the teams even 20 points (71:51). The guests did not capitulate and tried to put their hosts in the return until the end of the match, but the real intrigue did not return.
Vilnius defender Dovis Bičkauskis played both the most useful and most productive match, showing fantastic precision: the defender did not miss a single shot. He has 20 points, 2 rebounds and 3 interceptions and 27 utility points.
“After Echod’s injury, the whole plan collapsed, but the reaction from the players was incredible and all the credits go to the basketball players. It seems I owe them pizza, “G. Žibėnas said after the game.
“When a coach changes, there is always a certain emotional charge. Now it is important that we maintain that energy. I think that in a ten point system today, that energy can be estimated at 11 points. I don’t know why we would have lost, “said Rytas’s new coach.
He confirmed that Gustas, son of Lithuanian national team head coach Darius Maskoliūnas, will join the team’s coaching staff, who will be in charge of watching the videos on the “Rytas” team.
In total, this time 9 out of 10 hosts appeared on the field. Without them, the only one who quickly ended the match was M. Echod.
We remind you that in addition to M. Echod, Kristian Kitsing, Andrew Goudelock and Rokas Gustys are on the list of players currently traumatized by the Vilnius team.
Morning: Dovis Bičkauskis 20 (6/6 doubles, 2/2 trit., 2/2 penalty), Arnas Butkevičius 15, Gytis Radzevičius 13 (sixth camera), Mindaugas Girdžiūnas 12, Ryan Boatright and Keith Benson (sixth section) 10 points each one.
