Kaunas “Žalgiris” will try to end their losing streak in the Euroleague on Friday. Kaunas residents will visit Athens where they will meet the local Panathinaikos club.
The head coach of “Žalgiris” Martin Schiller highlighted the physical nature of the opponents before the next match.
Panathinaikos is a very physical team that leads in rebounding. Nemanja Nedovičius and Ioannis Papapetrou are important players. It will be a difficult and physical match, ”said the strategist.
– You played in a preseason game with the Athens Club. How much have teams changed since then?
– It has been a long time. Both teams improved and changed little. They replaced one of their defenders and we lost Steve Vasturia. However, the teams kept the same face.
– You said that the tall people of Panathinaika are good at attacking “2 against 2”. Is it still relevant now?
– We’ll see if they change in defense or not. They can apply other defense schemes.
– You mentioned that N. Nedovičius is the most important person on the team. How should it be paused?
– We need to know what it can do and we must build ourselves properly in defense. He is a very rewarding and talented player. It’s hard to stop if you feel the game at the start of the match. Sometimes his game curve fluctuates and we must not allow him to gain confidence.
– Since S.Vasturia won’t play, how difficult is it to stop I.Papapetrou?
– It’s not very related. Papapetrou will be supervised by the same players who would have covered him anyway. Papapetrou is a very physical third-place player and a great challenge awaits us.
– How to fill the hole of S.Vasturia?
– Other players will play for more minutes. This is the only possible option. A magical man at the door will suddenly not appear to take his place, so only other basketball players will have to play more.
– Is the team looking for backup?
– Paulius Motiejūnas has already said that we are not looking at the moment. Now are difficult times and the club lacks money to charge the spectators.
– Is there a possibility that Tomas Dimša will return to the team?
– As far as I know, that possibilityYes it is not.
– Currently, the team’s schedule is a bit easier. How much does this change the training process?
– We have more time to train. This is a big difference because when the schedule is tighter, there is simply no time.
