Žalgiris lost the match of the 29th round of the Euroleague against his rival 62:89 (12:26, 16:23, 20:27 to 14:13) – after starting opponents with a double-digit difference already in the first half, the Kaunas people who returned with intrigue were unable to succeed from anyway.
“There was no way we could ‘catch’ the game, not in defense or in attack. During the first five minutes of attack there were good ideas, but we couldn’t turn them into shooting, and in defense we couldn’t catch every game. Maybe. after the break we defended a little better, but only at certain times ”, said the coach of Austria’s” Žalgiris “.
Anadolu Efes simply filled the guests with 3s, which were hit 15 of 34. In turn, Žalgiris scored 7 of 22 shots and in 40 minutes. took only 5 free throws.
“I think Anadolu Efes’ attack is the best in the Euroleague right now, they are just sharing the phenomenal ball, perfectly positioned on the pitch.
In their defense, they successfully squeeze, forcing opponents to rotate the ball around the three-point line, trying to cut them off the basket. And if you hit bad, it becomes very difficult to score points, Schiller said. “Yes, the ball did not move well in our attack, but the opponents, whose defense is now the fifth best in the tournament, should be commended.”
Anadolu Efes vs. Žalgiris
“Žalgiris” has five games to play in the Euroleague regular season. If you still want to try and fight for a spot in the top eight, the people of Kaunas just can’t go wrong.
“We need to self-assess what we did wrong in this game, what was better, and try to draw conclusions. There are five more games left, and each of them is decisive, “said Schiller, who will have to go to Istanbul again next week with the team and fight with another Turkish grandmother: the” Fenerbahche “from Istanbul.
The severity of the injury suffered by Joffrey Lauvergne, who did not fall backwards in the second half, could not yet be told by M. Schiller: the coach of the team’s doctors had not yet been able to communicate.
