Record P.Jankūnas – bathed in the changing room: “They will have to pay the other’s bill at the hotel” | Euroleague

P.Jankūnas was doused with water in the dressing room of other Žalgiris.

345 is the symbol of “Žalgiris” who has already played in the Euroleague in so many games, that he surpassed Real Madrid veteran Filipe Reyes.

“Sounds good, especially after the win, it’s a lot of fun. A lot of work has been done, but we continue to look to the future, even though we have been playing for many years. I enjoy basketball, the game, I am satisfied that I can still play “, – said P.Jankūnas in a joint interview with” Žalgiris TV “and” Basketnews “after the victory against Athens” Panathinaikos “81:69.

In his historic match, the captain scored 4 points, bounced 5 balls, made a successful pass, caused 2 fouls and scored 12 utility points.

– Did you think about the record before the game?

– No, definitely not. I didn’t really think about this record, because the situation was not the same: we lost six games in a row, we were all focused on victory. It wasn’t even in the background, but somewhere further afield.

– Did you get many congratulations?

– Yes, and the team was all showered. Well, traditionally, traditionally … The team doesn’t forget about those things. You will probably have to pay another bill at the hotel, but what are you going to do … That’s what we play (smiles).

– Did the victory add much to the good mood after the album?

– Yes, I think that without the victory we would not have said something very strong. It would even be foolish to rejoice in some record when a team doesn’t win.

– Leading all the matches, the competitors were in the third, but everything was fixed by the second five, Rokas Jokubaitis also shot. How much did those bank players help you win?

– He gave a lot of energy, defended himself, ran into a fast attack, scored points, bounced the balls. The job of all of us who got off the bench is not to spoil the game, that stretch.

– One of the stories is a rock game. Five errors in the first three halves, three shots, then a 10-point shot. Anything more surprising with such performances?

– No, Rock doesn’t surprise us. We know how he works, training, at what level the player is right now, what he can be at. He may not be so distracted at times, but perhaps that attention is too much for him. Everyone talks, everyone writes, interviews every day, all kinds of second-hand stories (read the story HERE) … Although everything is fine with him, he is still young. And that NBA trade was, all the scouts were calling.

I think those thoughts live in my mind, maybe it is a little more difficult to concentrate on the game. But here is our work, the oldest, and today we said after two quarters: “Davai“Rocks, focus, start playing from scratch.” As we continue to emphasize that to him, we need to get him out of that attention bubble to keep him focused.

– About the boss … Maybe you, as captain, have a message for him?

– No, I think the police will give you a good message. It will be a great example for anyone who comes up with something like this and wants to take a bath in some place of glory. Such a stupid thing it’s not even worth talking about.
