This is the second consecutive victory for Nevėžis-Optibet this season for Betsafe-LKL. Along with Vilnius “Rytas” and Kaunas “Žalgiris”, the residents of Kėdainiai remain undefeated. Meanwhile, last year’s bronze medalist Lietkabelis, somewhat unexpectedly, after two rounds, no victories.
The solo exhibition “Nevėžis-Optibet” was organized by Vaidas Kariniauskas. The player scored 11 points in the first half alone. The 26-year-old Lithuanian finished the game with 26 points, bounced 4 balls, had 5 assists and scored 28 utility points.
V. Kariniauskas improved his personal record and this season’s Betsafe-LKL. This is the most useful match of a player’s career.
Paulius Valinskas scored 20 points and scored 20 utility points for Lietkabel.
The people of Panevėžys really lacked a safer legionnaire game. Marinas Maričius scored 5 points and scored 7 utility points in 16 minutes, but only managed a free throw from four. Kyle Vinales has 11 points (5/16 years) and 1 utility score.
Nevėžis-Optibet greatly benefited from a more solid two-point shot. The winners scored two points by 54 percent. accuracy, while Lietkabelis found it difficult to scratch both the colon (48%) and the three points (34%).
The K dedainiai people came in very quickly and proved that a surprise at Pasvalys was not a coincidence. Vaidas Kariniauskas sliced through Lietkabelis’ defense like a knife and scored an early lead for Nevėžis by scoring 11 points (16: 4).
Lietkabelis was stuck in both positional and quick attacks. Nenad Chanak’s students, who made 9 mistakes before the break, relied mostly on the services of Paul Valinsk and Troy Barnies in the attack. Lack of diversity led to low hitting percentages (35 percent shooting after 2 halves).
The inefficiency of Panevėžys’s middle forwards was particularly hungry. Marinas Maričius scored a point in the first half (he scored a 4-shot penalty) and Gabrielius Maldūnas added two.
Meanwhile, a one-man orchestra Vaidas Kariniauskas was playing at the Nevėžis-Optibet. The player scored as many as 19 points and 22 utility points in the first two halves, and his team pushed ahead firmly: 42:30.
Vaidas did not need the contribution of his teammates: Panagiotis Kalaitzakis was fifth behind him.
After the break, Nevėžis-Optibet seemed determined to flee further (46:30), but the guests had no intention of raising their weapons and reducing the delay. The tandem of Gabriel Maldūnas and Kyle Vinales helped a lot during the difficult moment, reducing the advantage of Nevėžis-Optibet to 5 points (51:46).
However, Nevėžis-Optibet found ways to respond to Lietkabelis’ impulse. Julius Kazakauskas showed strength under the basket, Panagiotis Kalaitzakis played clearly and before the last quarter “Nevėžis-Optibet” again kept a safe distance (61:48).
In the fourth quarter, the situation only got worse for Lietkabel. V. Kariniauskas overtook Nevėžis – Optibet by 18 points (71:53). Paulius Valinskas tried to save Lietkabelis.
The defender scored 11 points in a row, but that was all the Panevėžys people could squeeze out of: Nevėžis-Optibet earned a well deserved victory.
