At 15 thousand. The fans would have been different, but Šarūnas Jasikevičius could hardly quell the excitement when he saw the video clip dedicated to him in the cube at the Žalgiris Arena. “Thank you Šarūnai, Dariau, Tomai, Justai,” the emotional video ended.
Share lowered his head, shook his hands, and swallowed with a gulp of excitement.
Shaking hands with Martin Schiller after the victory, the 44-year-old was in no rush to head to the guest locker room. He quietly waited for the Žalgiris harvesting team to gather in the center of the square. He warmly greeted Paulius Jankūnas, Artūras Milaknis, and embraced his defenders Lukas Lekavičius and Rokas Jokubaitis.
Soon he invited a player from the center of the field. Rokas Jokubaitis thought it was him and suddenly leapt towards Shar. When the Barça coach happily made it clear that he was not inviting him, but Marek Blaževičius.
Š. Jasikevičius gave the 19-year-old midfielder a nice hug and wanted to talk to him. After all, this in the summer persuaded him to leave Vilnius “Rytas” and move to the opponent’s main camp.
“Well, you know … When we met, we talked to him. I knew it could be. But I wanted to say a few words to him. I even feel a little bad in this situation. I didn’t do anything wrong, but I feel bad. . Just so the kid doesn’t break. But Marek is like Rock. He really is much older in mind than his passport numbers. I think he won’t really break, “Š.Jasikevičius said after the game.
But he wasn’t so happy to see his former student Rokas Jokubaitis, who is shining in the Euroleague this season, and just before Barcelona repeated his career record in this tournament, he scored 15 points.
“It is an interesting feeling. As I left the plaza, I told Marek that it was strange to play not with Shar but against Shar. Interesting experience, – said R. Jokubaitis after the game. – Very funny, very funny. It’s fun to hear what you say to team members. So active behind the sideline. It’s fun to remember those times. But I didn’t want to emphasize that, because I could put one foot on the ground. “
The night of Shar’s return was finally crowned by her heartfelt press conference. In it, he spoke openly about Marek and the future of Rokas Jokubaitis, a call for support to Martin Schiller and help for his “Žalgiriukas”.
The next meeting between Sharas and Žalgiris will take place in Barcelona on February 18.
