Kaunas “Žalgiris” welcomes the Euroleague for a double week. On Tuesday, the Kaunas team will face Vilerbana’s team ASVEL, who have won seven in a row and are currently the hottest team in the tournament.
Coach Martin Schilleris He highlighted the athleticism of the rivals and Moustaph Fall, who scored only 7 points in the first round duel but bounced 8 balls, caused up to 11 fouls and scored 27 utility points.
“ASVEL is one of the most athletic teams in the tournament, which has been in Kaunas for several days now, because it arrived just after the Barcelona match. In attack, they play very close to basketball with Fallu, Kahudi, and Lighty. These things make them special. You must be aware of your opponents’ triples, as they hit a high percentage, although they do not throw much. Kahudi and Howard are key players at ASVEL. In my opinion, due to Howard’s recent appearance, ASVEL has been playing very successfully. Fallas goes back to playing more minutes and is a kind of “X factor”, said the Austrian.
– What is the situation with Th.Walkup?
– We will do sports in the afternoon and then we will see. I am optimistic about his play in tomorrow’s game.
– What is the most important thing to stop Fall, who caused a lot of problems in the first round?
– It is necessary not to let him close the bag, although I understand that it is practically impossible to do so. Basketball is a percentage game and we will try to build on that. It should be noted how big and strong the players are in Fallas. For me, Fallas reminds Milutinov of the strong legs he has and how hard it is to push him. The objective is not to let him enter the penalty area, although we understand that it will not be possible to do it 100%.
– How surprised are you with the latest ASVEL sport?
– If they were not affected by the coronavirus, the classification would be up. Now ASVEL does not play in the French league because the tournament is suspended, which gives a lot of time to prepare for the Euroleague fights. This is a talented and well-trained team. I’m not too surprised by ASVEL’s good game.
– How will you fill the gap that arose after the injury of A. Milaknis?
– We have Vasturi and Lukošiūnas, who did not play in the Euroleague for objective reasons. I think they will be useful to us. The minutes of Hayes, Jokubaitis, Grigonis will also increase. Those 20 minutes will have to be made up for by these guys.
– What do you think of the head of ASVEL? Coach TJ.Parker?
– I like Parker’s work. Please respect it because I love the ASVEL game. I imagine it’s not easy being Tony Parker’s brother and dealing with all the languages when your brother is the head of the organization. People can criticize him as much as they want, but everything is judged by results and play. I think TJ is doing a great job.
