In July, the Lithuanian team met for a short time at a training camp in Palanga, after which they also participated in a friendly tournament in Estonia. Still, the names of Donatas Motiejūnas were not on the list of players who participated in the camp.
Donatas Motiejūnas
| Position: | PF, C |
| Years: | 29 |
| Height: | 213 cm |
| Weight: | 120 kilograms |
| Place of birth: | Kaunas, Lithuania |
During his visit to the Tomas Langvinis show “Invisible Side,” the 29-year-old forward made no secret of his disappointment at not being invited to camp.
“I didn’t get a message, I didn’t get a call, and I didn’t change my phone number. I read that the team is rejuvenated, but Bendžius is my year, Kalnietis is much older, and Gudaitis is two years younger. Maybe, I mean, I don’t have a place and I won’t have one anymore? ”Motiejūnas asked rhetorically.
“I should ask them, but I didn’t get a message from the federation or the coach. So people say I’m up there and I don’t want to run (to the national team). As they treat you, pay the same attention to them afterwards and come back. to the show Then he says that I vibrate conflicts.
At least write a message, call, find out. Let’s say the season continued and I would rest, but nothing. Maybe I’m not at that level anymore? Motiejūnas continued.
In July, the head coach of the Lithuanian national team Darius Maskoliūnas stated that he did not contact Motiejūnas because it was believed that he would continue the season in China.
„He had to play a season in China and we did not know that the situation would happen that way. We saw it in the last selection window and now it is much more interesting for me to see what Marekas Blaževičius can do than Donatas.“Maskoliūnas said at the beginning of the camp in July.
In February this year, the basketball player wore the shirt of the Lithuanian team in the selection competition of the European Championship. It was the first time since 2017 that D-Mo wore a national team jersey.
In two games played against Belgium and the Czech Republic, Motiejūnas scored an average of 13.5 points (65% double), 6 rebounds and 11 utility points.
Motiejūnas also revealed on this show that his career is likely to continue in China.
“I received two offers from European teams, one of them, almost 1.5 million euros. Everything is moving towards China or the NBA. It is rumored that the NBA will start between January and March, so wait until there is no goal, and China should announce all the rules regarding legionnaires in the next week.
My agent is currently speaking with at least five Chinese clubs, so I have no doubt that my career will turn to China. The only question is which team, ”said the basketball player.

AHA
He has to turn his head less for that, he chose a career in China himself, it is obvious that the quality of his game deteriorates when he plays against weaker basketball players, he no longer stretches the level of the team and automatically weakens the team, because it no longer we have many players playing at a high level.
ciuvakas
not that Donce, not that, unfortunately. For several years in a row, he cuts into the LKL level league, if not lower, and says why no one invites him. Hahaha

It’s something to go, something vague. He will play, then he will change his mind, he no longer wants or what kind of China he will rub himself on. 🙂
Kaunas
pizdon ta how jibana
Opa
Donatėlis lacked attention, poor thing … and again everyone is to blame, but not for him. Maybe it’s a man and tell everyone that he doesn’t want to play for that team, and now he’s not at that level yet. Mižnius !!!

I was always on Donato’s side, but now I could walk. Neither the championship team will have it now, or what. He will have another trauma, he will cry again, because he sacrificed himself to play against the Estonians and was injured because of Lithuania. BL players are already starting to play on teams and you are rubbing the wires. You want to play it go to any team and play.
Than that …..
In the end, what difference will there be in the national team or not. What matters is what has happened to the team for a long time. And in recent years, that has not been good. The coaches did an experimental camp and the results speak for themselves. Until Maskvytis, Kurtinaitis or Jasikevicius appear in the selection, do not expect anything.

The most important thing is to tell the media that the coach is wrong and does not invite him to speak to the coach in person about this whole thing and I think he would really get all the answers, which is why the summer did not invite him. After such a shout in the media, he deserves not to represent the national team anymore.
Than that …..
Justice for D-Mo is a head taller than those who were invited to the last camp of the national team. But since the coach had to look at those who didn’t know how to play, he would get what he would get.
Jonas
not GALBUT Motiejus, but really !!! no more level. The national team is unfortunate … and you don’t even put it on their level … think … and you sit in the studio more often than you work in the field. take it with the microphone and change your profession !!
The nomad
“How they treat you, the same attention after that for them and back to the show”, maybe that’s why no one calls or invites anymore.
Fact Review
the fact that you are witnessing a truly imperfect Motiejuna in China. Even the NBA is better then. If you really want to improve, you would play Europe again, even for much lower wages.
Ceska
nkl level player, filled with only top players, so what are you wondering here? there was a racing pike that the nba got a bench to warm up and think about until the end of her career so far the game will be a top star and yet the slvoes museum will be drawn, she rested on her laurel as needed
Lukas
dmo i China will not return under its new rules The Chinese team may have 4 legionnaires, but only two will register. The salary cap is set at 4 million for legionnaires, 7 million when the Dmo received 6 million this season, so if Chinese teams want to be better equipped, they will not have a large majority in one player. I will invite lower level players so I can try to wait for the nba market.
Lukas
here are those salaries where i clearly mentioned with taxes out of control
H.H
A slave to money. Say your goals are the main money, not a win shot. Who needs a proud and unmotivated basketball player for the national team? I don’t think position C and so crowded
belle
after all there was a prep camp and 2 friendly fighters. Valanciunas, Sabonis, Kuzminskas, Maciulis, Giedraicis did not see that they were crying that they were not invited to this 2 week camp 🙂
Yes
He would know that Kuzminskas didn’t understand why he didn’t invite him … Sabonis and Valanciunas in the USA … And del Giedraicio again: Adomaic didn’t like him, Maskoliun tarmozina … But he plays in the Euroleague and sees no problems … more useful for Zalgiris and Rytas players :))) than Baskonios;)))
Crepe fan
He could sign that 1.5 million contract with the European national team to sign and prove something in Europe, and it is worth a maximum of 1 million. but clearly he wants half the power to play and get to know how much money he gets from the movies, and then think that the level of the selection remains the same … a joker.
Fact Review
correct observation, sir.
Parsiukas zombies
Well, he doesn’t stick to the team and the points. Who doesn’t have people like that in schools, universities, and even workplaces? The short time of the selection, not the club, apparently does not see it and everything for the selection. All the more he is not a superstar, he does not even stay there. Due to the hot tar, you will not damage the honey barrels, the more the first coach does not want it, go and know better there.
but
I think LKF is becoming a private club. Maskoliunas and Ko rejuvenate, the youngsters try, but only R. Jokubaitis (rubbing the bench of Zalgiris) and M. Blazevicius (of whom it is not clear what will be …), and playing juveniles A. Velicka, Uleckas, D. Giedraitis – teams do not interest me;) All over the world, etc. and in Lithuania it is clear that the team must have the best, the strongest, etc. So that people observe and follow the youth of their example … And it is important to be in the cheb: like Butkeicius, Bendzius and others … Or R.Giedraiti (Euroleague) can be supported on the bench, as what did D. Adomaitis … Although whatever you want there, as coaches they are adaptable and cowardly – they fear personality … The rule has become: a man of good character is important … this will be the national team .. And they are afraid of working with personalities .. The results are like this .. 🙂
Goes goes
Right. Well done.
Serious
This is what Beržininkaitis himself said in which Žalgiris shows that Maskoliūnas is already such that nothing concrete is said until the last, only some abstract clues are given in the best of cases. Beržininkaitis himself was invited to the national team only after relying on the fact that he will now be a coach.
boom shaka laka
Aha, according to Maskoliūnas Marek Blaževič, the superstar better than D-MO? Funny :)))
