Tomas Masiulis, who led Žalgiris’ substitute team two years ago, will attempt to lead the Barcelona constellation to victory in the Euroleague on Friday.
Points are earned this season
When both Šarūnas Jasikevičius and Darius Maskoliūnas were infected with the coronavirus, the Club of Catalonia had no choice but to entrust the command to Masiulis, who highlighted the snipers of the Russian club before the duel with Zenit Saint Petersburg.
“In this situation, we did everything we could, but I think the preparation for the match was good,” Masiulis told Mundo Deportivo. – We are waiting for a game with a very strong rival, characterized by organized and intelligent basketball. Our main objective will be to stop their snipers. “
Masiulis also highlighted Zenit’s victory in the first round of the Euroleague, when Xavi Pascual’s pupils beat Anadolu Efes in Istanbul by 73:69.
Zenit has already shown in the first game that it can be one of the biggest surprises of this Euroleague season. In the game with Anadolu Efes they played very well and Zenit is a well-trained team, so we have a very difficult game ahead of us, ”Masiulis said.
Barcelona have already left for Saint Petersburg, where they will play for local Zenit on Friday at 7:00 p.m. Lithuanian time.
