Žalgiris

Thomasas Walkupas – 10 rooms
26 min., 21 p. (5/6 dvit., 3/6 trit., 2/2 baud.), 4 atm. cam., 2 res. more than 0 pages, 7 pr. pages, 28 profit points.

“Žalgiris” found himself in a very difficult situation in the fourth quarter, but then Walkup started the work, scoring three three points in a row and adding a total of 11 points during the decisive quarter. The American played a good game from the start of the match and made the rivals make a mistake on defense. It is true that Thomas was unable to play the section effectively when supervised by Andrew Goudelock.

Marius Grigonis – 8 rooms
29 min., 14 p. (2/4 dvit., 2/7 trit., 4/5 baud.), 6 rez. lost, 3 for. cam., 2 bl., 5 pr. pr., 16 benefits points.

Grigonis repeatedly lost his comfortable position, but at the end of the match he was entrusted with a decisive shot and although he had a good opportunity to trade with Martynas Echodas, these 3-pointers have not fallen on him lately. However, we must congratulate Maria on the fact that in this duel we have already seen some aggression, which did not exist at all for some time.

Martin Geben – 7.5 points
22 min., 12 p. (6/8 dvit.), 3 atm. cam., 2 res. pass, 5 passes, 11 profit points.

With Geben, “Žalgiris” seemed the most solid under the baskets, but the high playing time was limited by personal fouls. In the first part of the match Martino picenrolai It was a real headache for “Este”, but after the break the capital team managed to stop him. Rytas also used Geben’s slowness in his defense and attacked him. Pikenpopais.

---

Lukas Lekavičius – 7 rooms
25 min., 13 p. (3/7 dvit., 2/3 trit., 1/1 baud.), 4 rez. refer., 1 bl., 13 benefits. points.

Luke, however, lost a couple floaterių, took advantage of his opportunities and was effective. However, in the last attack, he let Bičkauskis in too deeply and Rubitas was under the tank. Despite Lekavičius’s efficiency, he scored 13 more points while at Rytas Square.

---

Paulius Jankūnas – 6 points
26 min., 3 pts. (0/1 dvit., 1/1 trit.), 7 atm. cam., 3 res. more, 2 pcs., 8 us. points.

In 26 minutes the captain threw only 2 pitches, although Lukas Uleckas was with him most of the time. However, this was no longer Paul’s problem, but tactics where there were no combinations in the mustache. Once again in Jankūnas’ game he was happy with the fight for the balls and in attack he made the most of Žalgiris.

Agustín as Rubitas – 5 balai
13 min., 7 min. (2/3 dvit., 3/4 baud.), 1 atk. kam., 8 naud. balai.

Rubit came back after illness and found that he still couldn’t play a long stretch, but he made good use of the time he spent on the parquet. Of course, the American still lacked aggression, especially when playing fourth against much weaker opponents. Also in the last attack, it was probably possible to play smarter without jumping on Bičkauskis.

---

Marekas Blaževičius – 4.5 points
14 min., 4 tk. (2/3 dvit., 0/1 baud.), 5 atk. kam., 6 naud. balai.

5 rebounds in 14 minutes is a very good result, and one of them was followed by foul points. However, this match showed why Marek had no chance in the Euroleague: he was doing what he wanted with him and the young talent had nothing to offer.

---

Rokas Jokubaitis – 4 points
20 min., 4 p. (2/6 dvit., 0/2 trit.), 3 rez. more than 0 users points.

In attack, Rock missed his pitches, whose choice wasn’t bad and he can’t be too angry about it. However, the defense of Jokubaitis fell into the eye again: the defender fell below the barrier against Goudelock and was penalized with three points, after which the American returned to bathe Žalgiris with a break, only then he did not arrive from a comfortable position. .

---

Karolis Lukošiūnas – 4 points
10 min., 0 pts. (0/0 met.), 1 atm. cam., 0 profit points.

The sniper started the duel in the first fifth, but without that fault, which made the judges doubt his sportsmanship, Lukošiūnas could not stand anything.

---

Patricio Garino – 3 balai
6 min., 3 pts. (1/1 trit.), 2 pm, 2 pm, -1 pm score.

We all understand Garino’s situation and we probably don’t know his true potential this season. The Argentine hit a triple against the people of Vilnius, but did not catch Uleck, committed an attack and stepped and did not stay on the parquet for long.

---

Steve’as Vasturia – 2 balai
11 min., 4 p. (2/2 trit.), 2 passes, 3 benefits. points.

The American has hit two colonies, but in one match, breaking twice against a distant opponent is simply inexplicable, other than that the basketball player is not at his level. Vasturios +/- was -18 and it was the worst.

Ivan Was – 10 points
29 min., 32 p. (8/10 dvit., 3/4 trit., 7/8 pun.), 7 atm. cam., 2 res. trans., 3 chap., 6 p. pr., 39 benefits points.

Impressive discovery of the capital club during the season and I do not remember the last time that LKL had something so dominant against the Lithuanian champions. The Croatian became a true “Žalgiris” nightmare. He bathed all the tall people of Kaunas in the penalty area, repeated inappropriate shots, and in addition, he took three long shots, attacking his opponents. Pikenpopais. It was Ivan’s 3s that forced the Lithuanian champions to rethink their defense, as he was initially at risk, as the center had only hit three long shots during the season. Of course, the defense was attacked by himself. Pikenrolais, but what he did in the attack is impressive.

---

Andrew Goudelockas – 8.5 balo
26 min., 14 p. (1/6 dvit., 4/5 trit.), 3 rez. more than 13 points.

The American has shown what class this player is and sees Goudelock waiting for a match of this level. At the end of the duel, immediately after the missed triple, Andrew rehabilitated and tied the score, with a total of four. Columbus did not fall in love with the basketball player, although there were good opportunities. The veteran struggled on defense, but not the ones you might expect, and Rytas can really live with that.

---

Dovis Bičkauskis – 8 rooms
26 min., 6 p. (1/1 dvit., 1/2 trit., 1/2 baud.), 7 rez. trans., 4 channels, 6 outputs. pr., 15 benefits points.

Dovis was not very aggressive in the attack, but the decisive attack belonged to him and this improvisation paid off. Bičkauskis organized the game well and thanks to him, “Rytas” avoided a big wave.

---

Lukas Uleckas – 7.5 balo
20 min., 10 pm (3/3 dvit., 1/3 trit., 1/3 baud.), 3 rez. pass, 5 passes, 6 profit points.

Lukas played a lot in fourth place and used his speed here, and on defense the opponents failed to take advantage of his advantage against him, despite the forward accumulating 5 fouls. Uleck’s strong performance is also symbolized by the team’s best +/- score (+9).

---

Martynas Echodas – 7 points
22 min., 8 p. (3/4 double, 2/2 penalty), 5 atv. cam., 11 benefits. points.

Echod lacked aggressiveness, but he took his chances and excelled in a beautiful location. The biggest achievement of “Rytas” is that in the Echodas sections in the square he can perform well together with Buva, and then “Žalgiris” has no advantage in the front line.

---

Gytis Radzevičius – 7 points
38 min., 8 min. (1/2 dvit., 1/3 trit., 3/3 baud.), 7 atk. kam., 2 by. kam., 13 naud. balų.

Without playing against Arnas Butkevičius and Kristjanas Kitsings, Radzevičius was practically irreplaceable tonight. Gytis at the helm of the team Giedrius Žibėnas enjoys a growing role in the team and hits the team play on both sides of the field. The Vilnius resident was not very aggressive in the attack, but he did not rush events and handled his tasks reliably.

---

Mindaugas Girdžiūnas – 5 points
23 min., 6 p. (1/5 trit., 3/4 baud), 2 res. more, 2 pages, 5 pages pr., 5 benefits points.

The defender hosted this game, showing excellent sporting form, but the shots in Kaunas did not fall. Girdžiūnas ‘actions in attack were limited by Žalgiris’ defense, but when Goudelock played successfully, the capital club did not need a better Lithuanian performance.

---

Augustas Marčiulionis – 4 points
7 min., 2 p. (1/2 dvit.), 2 rez. plus, 3 losses, 0 profit points.

Marčiulionis quickly picked up three fouls and saw that it was still difficult for the youngster to play at this level. Augustus, however, had a difficult colon, although his time was limited to the maximum due to fouls.

---

Rapolas Ivanauskas – 3 points
8 min., 0 pts. (0/0 years), 1 loss, -1 profit. score.

The Lithuanian was the only fourth real number in the capital club tonight, but he had an episodic role in the match. It’s obvious that for Ivanauskas at least for the moment, “Rytas” is too high a level, but hopefully a tall energetic person will better understand the subtleties of European basketball over time.
