Although the coronavirus is adjusting the Betsafe-LKL schedule, the championship continues: 8 rounds will begin this weekend.
It is true that only two games will be played in two days, the others will be postponed due to cases of coronavirus in the teams.
The main meeting of the tour will be played in Kėdainiai on Saturday; local Nevėžis-Optibet will host Vilnius Morning here.
You can watch the meeting directly from 6 pm on the BTV channel and through LKL.lt.
The Kėdainiai club started the season in a very positive way: in four games they won four victories and are currently classified in the first quarter of the championship.
Meanwhile, the people of Vilnius, who started the season well, have been stagnant lately: during the week there were defeats for Kaunas “Žalgiris” in Lithuania, and in the FIBA Champions League the team “Peristeri” from Athens was lost. .
Still a basketball player for the Kėdainiai team Julius Kazakauskas He doesn’t think this makes Vilnius residents anything more dangerous.
“I don’t think it’s a bad sign, we basically don’t appreciate it, they won or lost their last game, we will just try to win everything at home and everything,” said LKL.lt the player.
LKL route forecast
Such a successful start for the Kėdainiai team came as a surprise to most, and J.Kazakauskas, when asked about the main reasons, highlighted the two most important. accents.
“Probably good early preparation and the fact that the same coach remained for the second season. This year we also have experienced players and ambitious youngsters, the players complement each other in this way,” said J. Kazakauskas.
The team he represents is often considered one of the most enjoyable games in public space, and it’s fun for the team’s basketball players to hear beautiful epithets.
“It is very nice to hear this, especially when we were there last season, and this year the results are already better and everyone’s opinion of the team is better,” the basketball player shared with LKL.lt.
According to him, the highest position of the team, this year, is largely determined by the experienced LKL-level basketball players who complemented the club, and the team coach Marius Kiltinavičius, who continues to lead the team, became the guarantor of stability.
“The similarities compared to last season, the same coach, a couple of players remained and the differences, as I said, we did not have such experienced LKL players last year, this year we have maybe five and everything is much easier, because we already know what to expect from them. “, – J. Kazakauskas emphasized the importance of experience.
However, on Saturday, Kėdainiai’s teams will face perhaps the most serious challenge: the Vilnius club, although it has fallen into a small pit, remains one of the most dangerous teams in the league.
However, despite being the favorite of the competitors, J. Kazakauskas ensures that the team’s coaches emphasize one and only thing before the match.
“Victory, victory is what is emphasized the most (laughs – LKL.lt). The coaches said that we just have to believe and play as with a normal team. We know that they can be better, but we will try to win”, considered the player from basketball.
It is interesting that last year Kėdainiai’s team managed to bite “Rytas” once, defeating them in their arena. As J. Kazakauskas mentioned, a lot of support in the arena also contributed to this.
“I remember we won last year, so there was probably the largest number of spectators in the entire history of the team. The arena was very crowded and it helped a lot, ”the player recalled.
However, this year the situation is different and the stands cannot be filled. According to J. Kazakauskas, even under such conditions, the growing interest of fans is felt quite clearly.
“If there were opportunities, I think the stands would be even more full, but as much as they could now, they would come quite a bit now. Knowing the situation due to the pandemic, this arena, of course, was not overcrowded,” said the basketball player.
At this meeting, Betsafe experts predict the victory of Vilnius residents and give their guests more than 81 percent chance of winning.
A match will also be played on Sunday: Pasvalys “Pieno Žvaigždės” will host Prienai “CBet” at home.
The match will be broadcast on BTV and LKL.lt television starting at 5 pm, and the main sponsor of Betsafe-LKL gives the hosts an advantage and gives them a 60 percent chance of winning.
