On Sunday, Kaunas Žalgiris, tired of the victory against Prienai CBet, enter the double week of the Euroleague. Marius Grigonis had slipped out of line on the field in Žalgiris due to a minor toe injury, and Joffrey Lauvergne, who had a limping leg on the field at the end of the duel with CBet.
Kaunas Žalgiris / Schedule
Still, according to Martin Schiller, the sentiments of both basketball players are optimistic and they should play a match with CSKA Moscow on Tuesday.
The Muscovites land in Kaunas after winning the last three Euroleague matches, after which they equaled the number of victories with “Žalgiris”.
Speaking on the eve of the match about the first rivals of the Euroleague double week, Schiller highlighted the highlights of CSKA’s game.
“What strikes me the most are two things: the first, they shoot a lot of triples and achieve them with a high percentage of hits, and the second, they win a lot of penalty kicks.” In terms of the number of shots, they lead the Euroleague. ” Schiller said.
– How should Žalgiris treat his aspects?
– A lot of free throws they pick up from the game under the basket and advances, mostly taken by Tornike Shengelia and Will Clyburn. The opportunities for triples are created by dropping the ball out of play in the penalty area, so we must defend well under the basket, knowing where and when help is needed, and if help is needed. We must avoid creating vacancies around the perimeter, and that will be a cornerstone.
– You know another top scorer, Mike James. How to make him feel uncomfortable?
– We already had similar rivals. As I mentioned earlier, in such cases the key is to find the right counterweight for our players. Usually, in defense, this work falls on more than one specific player, combinations are created for several basketball players that stop a certain opponent.
– “Žalgiris” has spent a lot of points on defense lately. Where are the problems?
– We must try to keep the opponents ahead in defense. For me personally, that is the most important thing.
– In the social space, Mike James hinted that he was surprised by such a game of “Žalgiris” this season and his leadership team. How did you react to such an evaluation?
– Excellent, but I did not react in any way because I do not pay attention to the social space. But it’s very nice to hear it.
– In the last game with Vitoria Baskonia, CSKA played without James. How did this change your style of play?
– Yes, they lost a dynamic scorer who can create opportunities for himself, but CSKA and without James have a lot of capacity to score points with the same style. There is Clyburn, who also scores points playing one on one.
