On Tuesday evening, the Lithuanian men’s basketball team held its first training session ahead of the upcoming European Basketball Championship qualifiers with the Czech and Danish teams.
Lithuania National Team / Calendar
All the basketball players invited to the camp worked on the Darius Maskoliūnas drill.
The most important thing for us will be the game with Denmark, which will be played without their leader Gabriel Lundberg. Currently, Lithuania and Denmark have two victories, and in the first meeting of these teams, the Danes won by 4 points.
“It’s a shame to think about what the Danes have and what they don’t have,” said Mantas Kalnietis. “The goal doesn’t change with or without it, it’s not even worth talking about.”
“We need to do our job, which we did not do in the November window,” said Darius Maskoliūnas. – Everyone understands everything, everything is clear to everyone. We have no chance of making mistakes, we have to do what we have to do. From day one the men have focused, I have never complained about work and now the situation is the same.
Gabriel Lundberg is a strong individual player, which caused us a lot of problems in the first match. For the Danish team, this is a strong factor, but we do not emphasize, we do not discuss it at all and we have to do what we have to do. Either with him or without him. “
In group C of the selection tournament, Maskoliūnas students share 2-3 places with the Danish national team, and the host Czech Republic and the top two teams in the group will enter the European Championship. Belgium currently occupies the first place with 3 victories.
