The Euroleague night was gloomy for Lithuanian basketball fans for the fifth time in a row: Kaunas “Žalgiris” landed in the St. Petersburg team “Zenit” at 75:83.
After the game, the captain of “Žalgiris” Paulius Jankūnas reviewed the failed meeting.
“The game did not work again, like the last three, we just started to play 20 points behind. We continue to represent a lot in defense one by one, but tonight there was no second or third help, we really lacked. In the end we got to the day, but you know … They passed in the second half and started the third with two triples again. This happens a lot this season, “said the captain.
– What are the roots of the non-conversation in defense?
– I don’t know, we have newcomers, but we are all professionals. Perhaps there is a lack of responsibility. I don’t know, maybe there is a lack of emphasis. Team defense is the job of the five, where everyone helps each other, but both lose in matches. An attack can win another game, but defense needs to be more stable, especially after failures, but not us.
– “Žalgiris” took only two free throws before the long break. Lack of aggression?
– If we shoot so much, apparently there was a lack of progress and situations in which we could cause fouls.
– After two quarters, as if you had personal comments to the coach, what was it about?
– It was not some kind of comment, only after some of the same episodes did we need to activate the defense and somewhere we did. You can’t just try to hit your opponents with an attack.
– Looking for reasons why mistakes are repeated?
– I do not know if we knew, we would decide immediately. Perhaps it is due to lack of responsibilities, someone is afraid to pick up fouls or leave their player and go to the rescue. I’m not saying that someone doesn’t understand something, but it’s just not done.
