The mood of both teams before this match is radically different. If “Žalgiris” beat the Valencia basketball players 79:78 in the last second after Marius Grigonis’ fantastic shot, the newly stuck “Baskonia” has suffered the fourth consecutive failure in the Euroleague – in France 77:83 he landed for the ASVEL of Vilerban team.
Despite competitors having plunged into the pits, Žalgiris coach Martin Schiller warns that the worst would be to underestimate them.
The Austrians also ask to forget the fact that in the first round match in Kaunas, the opponents were defeated by Žalgiris 92:73.
“In this league, each team can beat any other. There really can be no underestimation of the rivals from our side. Baskonia are very talented and well trained.” This is a very dangerous opponent, “said M. Schiller in the eve of the match in the arena of Fernando Buesa.
“It just came to our knowledge then. In addition, they fight perfectly for the bounced balls attacking the opponent’s basket. So, we will have to concentrate on stopping their fast attacks, as well as on the fight for theirs under the board,” said the specialist in basketball before the game.
“We played two games in three days, now the most important thing is to regain strength, prepare our bodies for the second challenge, regain energy,” said the Austrian.
Žalgiris v Baskonia in the Euroleague
“Žalgiris” tends to cause a lot of trouble this season from extremely tall and powerful front-line players, such as the 221cm tall Senegalese Youssoupha Fallas. In the first game with 14 points he was the most productive of the Basque classification.
“Opponents of this height should try to be faster and more mobile, which is what we will try to do”, M. Schiller did not get involved in the long discussions about the “center” of the rivals.
The game with Baskonia will also start on Friday night at 10 pm Lithuanian time.
We remind you that the Baskonia team led by Serbian Duškas Ivanovičius has two Lithuanians in its ranks: Rokas Giedraitis and Tadas Sedekerskis.
Currently, the Kaunas team ranks sixth in the tournament table and the Vitorija basketball players rank 13th.
