On Sunday, in the Adriatico (ABA) league game, Red Star crushed Borac de Chachac by 95:64 away.
Despite the favorable result, S. Obradovičius fears that this duel took place at a very uncomfortable time, ahead of the Euroleague “double” week.
Žalgiris did not need to play additional matches in the Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL), as the match with Kėdainiai “Nevėžis” was postponed due to Joffrey Lauvergne’s supposedly positive coronavirus test.
However, the Frenchman turned out to be healthy and he went to Serbia, where he spent one of the most memorable years of his career representing Crvena Zvezda’s deadly rival: Partizan in Belgrade.
“It will be very important for us to play with energy, and in that sense the game with Borac was unfavorable. However, given the good start to the season, we have reason to hope to play another strong game and win.
We know what the main dangers will be. In “Žalgiris” are the organizers of the game, the same pitchers Thomasas Walkupas, Lukas Lekavičius, Marius Grigonis. And with J. Lauvergne, they strike a good balance between playing on the perimeter and under the basket, ”said S. Obradovičius.
Crvena Zvezda v. Žalgiris in the Euroleague
“A good team is coming. They have started the season successfully and Belgrade will undoubtedly also rely on its own strength. On the other hand, we have also played well in recent games. If we are smart and energetic, we can win,” added the forward Marko Jagodičius-Kurža.
Emanuel Terry, a United States midfielder who has recovered from his injury, and his compatriot Taylor Rochestie, who returned to Crvena Zvezda last week after a two-year break, were also preparing for Tuesday’s game.
On Thursday, Crvena Zvezda will visit ASVEL in Vilerbana (France) and Žalgiris will play the first game of the Euroleague against Anadolu Efes from Istanbul (Turkey).
Last season, the teams traded victories in away games.
The Serbs began this Euroleague season with a loss to guests at Fenerbahche in Istanbul (63:77) and a home win against Baskonia in Vitoria (90:73).
Žalgiris started with two victories on the road: against Olympia from Piraeus (68:67) and Chimki from Moscow (84:70).
