Blaževičius: “It’s a shame, we can’t play with the Lithuanian inscription on a shirt” / News

Marekas Blaževičius, who made his debut in the official tournament among the Lithuanian national team, felt embarrassed after the painful blow by the Danish team. Although the 18-year-old successfully started the match, scoring 8 points in the first half in five minutes, Darius Maskoliūnas’ students then balanced and capitulated in the final minutes.

“Terrible matches, we played without energy,” said the talented Kaunas “Žalgiris” at the press conference. – The attack was solid, but in defense we did not choose which is the pitcher and which is more aggressive. And that was the main problem. We couldn’t commit a foul and they felt the game. Too bad, we can’t play with the word Lithuania on a shirt like that. We have to make adjustments before the next game. “

Blaževičius, who competed in the ranks of Kaunas very minimally this season, spent 10 minutes in a duel with Denmark on the field, during which he scored a total of 10 points (4/4 doubles, 2/5 penalties), rebounded 3 balls, made a mistake and made 3 times.

The basketball player was satisfied to have managed to integrate without problems in the game of the national team, but did not hide the lack of practice of the game in some situations.

“Maybe today it didn’t feel too much, because during training I managed to get into the rhythm of the team, everything was fine. Before that I played some games in my club and in the form that I was returning.

Sure, it gets a lot better, but it wasn’t too bad at the moment, and the feeling in the square was really cool. I made some mistakes in defense, which are due to a lack of sense of the game, “continued Blaževičius.
