Kaunas “Žalgiris” continues to hang at the start of the season: Favorite status against Alytus “Dzūkija” is demonstrated only after two overtime periods.
In the Lithuanian Basketball League (Betsafe-LKL), two victories were achieved by a total difference of eleven points, and the only trial on the home front remained until the start of the Euroleague season.
The strategist of Žalgiris reviewed the victory in Alytus and the situation Martin Schiller, not taking the last question after a long game.
“I am delighted with the victory. Tough matches on both sides of the field. The opponents are a good hitting team, similar to Jonava’s club, shooting and hitting a lot of 3s. Looking at the numbers, the most important thing is that we made a mistake only eight This is very important in a double-extension match, “said the strategist.
– How surprised was Dzūkija?
– Not much. I said before the game that this is a good shooting team. Frye is a good year, Newkirk is doing well, and the tall guys have big bodies and that’s a good team.
– Today Joffrey Lauvergne and Edgar Ulanov were not there, what is their situation?
– As for Ulanov, we will see that he has a foot injury that will take a couple of days to be checked, and Joffrey has been retained due to personal problems.
– Alytus’s two extensions don’t raise a red flag due to team play?
– Two extensions are not a red flag for me. The best thing about the game was the victory.
– Marekas Blaževičius got more minutes, how satisfied are you with his performance?
– I am happy both for his intensity in defense, and for his strength and attitude in attack, we are satisfied.
– The Euroleague season is approaching, is there anxiety?
– The first game of the Euroleague awaits us after the meeting with Lietkabelis, and our focus at the moment is on this match. We are not in Euroleague mode yet, we will recover after this match, and then we will prepare for the match against Lietkabel.
