The Žalgiris people in Utena convincingly managed Juventus 102: 78 and recorded the 17th win this season.
It is true that Utena’s team had to play even without three basketball players from the defensive chain: Vaidas Kariniauskas, Ignas Vaitkus and Martynas Gecevičius. Žalgiris strategist Martin Schiller also hinted at the loss of rivals, who was glad the students managed to allocate time, because another LKL match against Šiauliai is already waiting on Tuesday.
“I congratulate our men on their victory. Juventus is a team with a lot of attacking potential. Their situation was aggravated by the fact that they did not have two great players on their perimeter. But such a reality.
I think we played well on defense in the first part of the game, but not in the second. I am pleased to have been able to distribute the minutes. We are moving forward, we only have 48 hours until the next game, “said M. Schiller.
Jydrentus helmsman Žydrūnas Urbonas spoke much more about the match.

He, despite a 24-point difference in defeat, rejoiced at the efforts of the students and repeatedly recalled the injuries of his team’s team.
“We played very well. The seven resisted the pressure against “Žalgiris” in this way: they saw that they were angry, they “strangled” us from the beginning. For me, as a coach, the most important thing in this match was that no one was injured, assured Ž.Urbonas. – Three people have already withdrawn from the start, if it is another, is it not with six plays? I still know what his physique is, what level of people … grigoniai, lauvergne’ai and all the others. That somewhere someone wouldn’t get what nonsense.
I’m happy for the men, they played a good match in seven, maybe even better than I expected. It was an idea not to get 40 points. I was really worried. The rotation is nil because the two center-backs, Kupšas with Čepukaitis, will not let them both, leaving five players in four positions. Can you imagine, Gintautas [Matulis] and others played for 36-38 minutes and the like. Thank God everyone is healthy. Just put – engine. “
The coach mentioned that G.Matulis played a career match against “Žalgiris”. The 34-year-old veteran scored 17 points, bounced 9 balls and scored 27 utility points, the most of LKL’s entire career.

Ž.Urbonas spared no praise from him or from G. Matulis’ teammate Marius Runkauskas.
“I am completely blinded by how two 35-year-old boys, both Gincė and Mark, were driving with us. Great, I have no blame for them. They played higher than necessary and played with” Žalgiris “, who” strangled “us – I heard to the coach yelling “close, close”. They could have been angry after the last game, and for me it was such a gentle smile that we somehow survived the game. Somehow a good mood, even after this loss, “said J Urbonas.
