At the start of the match, Giedrius Žibėnas, who was sitting in a hot chair, lost another unfortunate gift.
In the third minute of the game, Martynas Echodas, the main center forward, dropped his leg and returned to the field. The center has joined the injured Rytas Andrew Goudelock, Christian Kitsing and Rock Guss.
The 36-year-old strategist tried to cover the loss of M. Echod with Keith Benson, who was sitting on the suitcases, and Martynas Pacevičius, who recently went from doubles to first team, and even Arnas Butkevičius, when Rytas used zone defense. .
The Neptūnas of Klaipėda, who had built a front with powerful men, began to cling to the weakened Rytas in the capital, but it didn’t last long, only the first two halves.
The third became the third, which was started by the hosts 15: 3, and won overall 31:17.
In the decisive quarter, “Neptūnas” was scored by Giedrius Stankevičius, who immediately scored three 3-pointers, and Matas Jogėla scored the last 13 points in 5 minutes, but Klaipėda’s men could not come close to 6 points.
A very active and mutually supportive Ryto bank is long gone. Coach Giedrius Žibėnas reacted with emotion to every episode on the pitch, positive or negative for his team, and was strongly supported by a team of players from the Vilnius team.

– What is the situation of Martin Echod’s trauma?
– He stabbed his ankle, and the tests will be tomorrow. The swelling will pass and we will watch.
– Does the loss of Martynas change the search for newcomers and the speed of finding them?
– I can speculate a lot, but we will take care of the club. I cannot answer this question in a fresh way.
– The match was broken by a small five with Arnas Butkevičius in fifth position. How did the game go?
– All those defenders and third numbers … We just used Benson on them. We play all the games against the defenders. I want to emphasize defense, dedication, discipline, and discipline. Nobody beat us easily. The areas we didn’t build, maybe that’s what it looked like in a few moments. More than the defense, I liked the reaction of the players to the whole situation. Men reacted to what happened a few days ago, and today they reacted even better to Martín’s situation.
Today there is no talk of tactics. Everything in the field was transmitted from within men.

– It wasn’t just the players who were hot, you were too. Why did you get a technical foul in the fourth quarter?
– Nothing, I just insisted to the judge for about three seconds. We changed a lot in defense, it seems they were the second. I will not emphasize it. I wanted to bring excitement to the field with the players. Maybe somewhere he succeeded, maybe somewhere he didn’t. Now we have to rest and prepare for the next game because it will not be easy.
– Such an emotional bank of “Rytas” was not seen in a long time, and Dovis Bičkauskis mentioned after the game that the atmosphere in training is completely different. What has changed in your eyes?
– The emotion always changes when the coach changes. Our job is to make it a habit. We are a living team and we do not rule ourselves out. No matter how many players we have, we will go, fight and fight with everyone. We will not give anything to anyone, that is what the players have shown today. Today I value energy in the ten point system at eleven. I am proud of the players. I don’t know what we could have lost before today.

– Ryan Boatright played less for Dovis Bičkauskis and Augustas Marčiulionis. What determines this and what do you think about your game and sport in general?
– We have Augustus and Dave. Everything is fine with Ryan. We had bad situations in defense, Augustas played wonderfully today. Neptune played and bank and he could reach us, so he didn’t want to use Ryan.
In attack he was good for us, he played together, he played with us, he was like a fist. We don’t complain about their facial language, we rejoice in them. Augustus played well on defense and Dovis attacked fantastically.
– Today on the bench we saw a new assistant Gusta Maskoliūnas, although there was no official announcement from the club. Did you join the coaching staff in the morning?
– Yes, it is in our system, we have supplemented it. Gustas is with us for the third day. It already helps us, especially with video analytics. Funny coach. Every thought and idea is interesting. Every change in a training routine is fun for the players, possibly resulting in better excitement.
– During the broadcast, the LKL commentator said that he is given a trial period of six games in the head coach’s chair. Can you confirm or deny this?
– The question is probably for the commentator. I hear for the first time. Maybe know more? We are preparing for the next match, we are doing our job and we are only looking to the future.
