Chimki has won just twice in 18 rounds, finishing last in the Euroleague and three wins behind the closest opponent.
After the game in Kaunas, the coach was asked how he feels psychologically during the series of losses: wouldn’t he want to give up everything and go fishing?
“I do my job. We train well, everything is happening, we are trying to refresh ourselves. It’s easier to throw everything away and go fishing, but I’m not looking for easy paths, ”Kurtinaitis replied.
Chimki in Kaunas led 48:39 after two halves, but in the third quarter they fell into a hole that Kurtinaitis does not remember in his career: he lost the 10-minute stage at 13:39.
“Žalgiris” has been playing very well for the last 5-6 matches, he is always competing with confidence and enjoying the game. We had problems because we fought badly in both halves, but the third part was terrible, especially in terms of energy and character. This half led to defeat.
There have been several good games, but there have also been several in which the team is struggling and lacks confidence. Of course, we know that after such a series of defeats, the players collapse, and not just our team. Lack of confidence and character of the winners. It is no longer the first game, when we look good after two halves, but we started the third half without success. Well, (like) today, in general, I still haven’t had that result, ”Kurtinaitis said.
Rimas Kurtinaitis comment:
How does the Chimki coach manage to reach the hearts of the players during such a series of defeats?
“It just came to our notice then. But we played a good game, the 5 games that we lost in the last minute, which gives hope that we are on the subject. But there are games like today where the team is out of Control. For the first four minutes of the third quarter, I took two-minute breaks that didn’t change anything. This is bad, “Kurtinaitis said.
