Maurice Ndour, who landed in Vilnius on Thursday, walked the field in Saturday’s LKL match at Pasvalys right after a training session.

Donald Kairys lifted the Senegalese off the bench in the middle of the first half, and barely appeared on the floor in the next attack, he opened his account in the local league by placing from above.

The athlete, who gradually gained momentum in 16 minutes, became one of the most productive basketball players on the team with 13 points (3/5 doubles, 1/1 trit., 4/6 penalty). True, their efforts faded after “Morning” 79:82 sensationally lost to Pasvalys’ “Milk Stars.”

“It’s definitely not the debut I was expecting,” Ndour told Ryto. – We did not win the game, but I had the opportunity to feel the game, what the coach demands and how my teammates compete. It all starts with those things to move forward and achieve victories in the next meetings ”.

In the changing match, the Vilnius team eliminated the double-digit deficit they had after the first half, broke in the third quarter by 17: 0 and lost 10 points, but finally collapsed and took the initiative out of their hands.

What were Kairi’s accents in the dressing room during the long break?

“We had to defend better, make sure to fight for the balls and reduce the number of errors,” continued the Ryto newcomer. – In the first part of the game, we allowed them to shoot a lot of triples. We had to open them under our basket and play harder on defense. That’s what gave us the advantage. “
