The Lithuanian men’s basketball team successfully completed the preparations for the Olympic team, defeating the guests of the Dominican Republic at the “Žalgiris” arena in Kaunas 95:69.
“I value the game positively, we are improving every day, we are working hard, we are preparing, although there is not much time. As the game improves, we also look better in training, so we have to hope for the best. ” lrytas.lt R. Giedraitis answered the question.
On Thursday, R.Giedraitis played his most productive game so far, when he scored 9 points in the opponents’ basket, bounced 2 balls and made 3 assists.
This was the third victory for the national team in the preparation cycle. Before that, the Lithuanian team beat the Dominican Republic itself (95:62) and the Russian basketball players 78:61. Despite three achievements, R. Giedraitis admitted that the team still lacks important details.
“Maybe we still lack understanding of each other and so on. But I hope everything is fine,” said R. Giedraitis.
