Kaunas “Žalgiris” failed to finish in a two-week win. On Friday night, the residents of Kaunas had to admit the advantage of the basketball players of Vitorija “Baskonia” at 68:81 away.
The Krepsinis.net portal reviewed the individual performance of Kaunas residents and rated it with ratings.
Walkupas
# 0 Thomas Walkup (28 min., 14 points, 4 reps, 4 res. Grade – 9.
Already in the first part of the game, the American hit a couple of long shots and it seemed that “Žalgiris” dictated the conditions of his game. Still, it was after the second that the Kaunas three-point players played and fell into the pit, during which they dispersed the advantage they had. In the second half of the match, Th.Walkupas remained active, and after the intercepted ball and a quick two-point attack, Žalgiris managed to score up to 6 points. However, in this match he failed to avoid the mistakes made by 4, and at the moment Žalgiris’s attack seemed clueless and too static, so it is not possible to write the maximum note to Th.Walkup.
# 4 Lukas Lekavičius (15 min., 2 points, 1 rep., 1 res., 4 p., -4 points). Rating – 2.
We are used to “Žalgiris” getting a boost from players who got up from the bench, but this time the opposite happened. The Kaunas team’s game was strongly balanced when the first changes were made. L. Lekavičius looked poor on both sides of the square. He lacked precision in attack both in the attack to the basket and in the distribution of passes, and in defense, players on the opponent’s perimeter often beat L.Lekavičius only “1 on 1”. This is the third bad game in a row for a defender, so it can’t be a coincidence. Perhaps the player should rest more during the LKL match as the basketball player seems to have lost his freshness.
Hayesas
# 10 Nigel Hayes (28 min., 7 sts, 2 reps, 1 res., 1 bl., 6 points). Rating – 6.
The forward started the game again at the position of “fourth number” this time and managed to score a point of three points at the start of the game. Still, his other long-range pitches flew by, and his role was again more defensive in nature. He has no major reproaches for working on his basket, although Alec Peters scored 15 points. The impression is that Hayes could benefit more from the attack, but “Žalgiris” is not able to exploit it, and the American himself does not take the initiative.
# 13 Paulius Jankūnas (13 min., 2 points, 4 reps, 3 pm, 1 p.). Rating – 3.
This time, the captain played a really poor game. There was a lot of uncertainty in his actions and only in the first half did the veteran make 2 mistakes for which the opponents were willing to punish the most. P.Jankūnas took all shots “out of the game”, and his stats were only slightly saved by 3 fouls caused and 4 rebounds.
# 21 Artūras Milaknis (18 min., 6 points, 1 point, 2 useful points). Rating – 5.
A. Milaknis had a good minute in the second half of the match, when he hit 2 triples in a row, which slightly supported the life of “Žalgiris” in attack. However, the opponents took this element from Kaunas quite quickly, and the sniper never scored more points. The Vitoria club surpassed the Kaunas residents in energy and A. Milaknis was late in defense, so Baskonia, who scored well, punished him relentlessly.
# 23 Martin Geben (3 min., 4 pts, 2 rebounds, 1 pm, 6 pm)
It seems a bit strange when a player who has spent just 3 minutes on the court is on the 3-4 team based on accumulated utility points. M. Geben scored 4 points during his short stretch and although his rivals split from “Žalgiris” while he was on the field, it was not a problem related to this center.
# 24 Augustine Rubit (14 min, 2 pts, 2 rebounds, 1 inning, -2 helpful votes). Rating – 2.
After a very successful senior match in Valencia, we saw exactly the opposite image in a match with Vitoria Club. Surprisingly, A. Rubitas didn’t even look at the basket from afar in this game, when he managed to hit 3 long shots in the last one. Closer to the “Žalgiris” basket, the American gathered rival blocks and had a difficult time dealing with Tonye Jekiri, who showed great energy. A.Rubitas, who has a good shot realization, this time hit only 1 out of 7 and remembered his own shadow.
Jokubaitis
# 31 Rokas Jokubaitis (22 min, 2 points, 2 rebounds, 2 reps, 1 point, 0 points). Rating – 3.
The defender scored his first points only in the fourth quarter, when he surpassed T. Jekiri in speed after the exchange. It was one of the rare episodes in which the basketball player on the perimeter of Žalgiris managed to overcome this center, who managed his tasks well in his defense. R. Jokubaitis again had many problems with his basket. He was unable to stop Lucos Vildozos, who caused Kaunas many problems in the first half of the match.
# 40 Marius Grigonis (32 min., 17 points, 4 reps, 3 res., 3 p., 15 helpful votes). Rating – 7.
Statistically, the leader of “Žalgirio” played a good game, but not everything turned out so well. M. Grigonis did a lot of good things in the fourth quarter, when he became the main initiator of the outbreak, but that attempt at “Žalgiris” faded, and M. Grigonis can only be glad that he created the most beautiful episode. of the party again. In defense, the Vitoria club cut the ties of the Žalgiris team well and the defender did not have the opportunity to create, and more often attacked the basket from not very easy situations. This time, M. Grigonis realized that 5 pitches out of 13 “offside” and “Baskonia” could afford such a blow from the Kaunas team leader.
# 77 Joffrey Lauvergne (26 min, 12 pts, 9 pp., 4 pp., 1 pm, 3 pm, 21 pm). Rating – 9.
The opponents’ task was not to let J. Lauvergne get the ball closer to the basket and they did it quite well. Still, the opportunities he had from the Frenchman were used very effectively. The former center, close to a double-double, fought well under the baskets on both the court and the opponents’ side. It is a shame that he also failed to catch the ball several times and also contributed to the excessive number of errors by Žalgiris. The tallest lost the ball 3 times and also made a mistake at the decisive moment.
