On Wednesday, Vilnius “Rytas” will start the King Mindaugas Cup (KMT) quarter-final series against local Juventus basketball players in Utena.
Vilnius team strategist Donald kairys shared his thoughts on the pending showdown and the highlights of this match.
“We know our opponent, we will not play with him for the first time. The main focus will be on defense. Utena has several options in attack and it will be very important for us to defend ourselves in order to play our fast game,” said the coach.
D.Kairys also spoke about the pressure the team is currently facing and highlighted the moment when the club fell to the pit.
“I understand the fans, their hearts are burning with basketball. They want to see the team rise to the top, but they are fans and they should support the team and we and the club’s leadership will definitely find solutions to help us rise.
At the beginning of the season we got a taste of our winning game and we did well. We had a bit of an advantage, but we burned emotionally after the match with “Žalgiris”. Maybe even during them. This was a response to our next match with Peristeri, and those failures were too painful for us. Not only that, we lost our main player, Demetrius Jackson, immediately after that game, “said the strategist.
