Kaunas Strategist “Žalgiris” Martin Schiller He hasn’t had the happiest days lately – his team fell into a pit in the Euroleague.
The defeat against CSKA Moscow became the third consecutive setback, and the much-criticized defense faltered again and missed 87 points.
After the game, the Žalgiris strategist highlighted Paulius Jankūnas’ performance and good play from the middle of the second half.
“Congratulations to CSKA for the victory. I think if we can play stable like in the last 25 minutes, we should have a real chance of winning. We could have won anyway, but playing as in the end the odds would be better. There was no lack of dedication throughout the game, but concentration was better at the end in those 25 minutes, ”said the Austrian.
– How do you assess the energy of the players when two days ago it was necessary to play the LKL?
– We appreciate it well, the dedication was what we wanted.
– How do you rate Nigel Hayes’ game in “third” position?
– We appreciate him well, he gives us versatility, he handled Will Clyburn well, he will be useful to us.
– How do you rate the performance of Paulius Jankūnas?
– Okay, he handled himself solidly with Tornike Shengelia, scooped up the balls and focused on his work against the potato, which he did flawlessly.
– Is it possible to get along better with Mike James and Will Clyburn?
– Maybe we talked about it in the locker room, although we have to take off our hats, because they took really difficult shots.
– Did you have an unusual five, what lineup did you like the most in the square?
– I still need to see the video. The boys handled their defense well, communicated, stopped their attacks individually. In the modern Euroleague, the entire defensive zone cannot be ordered, the opponents are too smart, but applying it in short stretches can be useful.
– At the end of the match, you have chosen a 24 second attack instead of a 14 second attack. Why did you decide that?
– We were planning to make two attacks instead of one, we just thought it would be better to enter the ball from the baseline, although we could not score.
– Marius Grigonis chose the fouls, how do you value his contribution from the bench?
-He always wants to win and is very competitive, he starts it. If you are able to transmit this wish to your quest for victory and infect others with it, you will be of great use to us.
– How does playing in an empty arena help coaches to communicate more with the players?
– It really helps, it’s easier to talk. At the end of the day, the most important thing is still the consensus of the players. How much easier it is to catch combinations of opponents and try to clear them.
– Are you satisfied with the return of Rokas Jokubaitis?
– Basically, I liked their show, although on Sunday they were still slow. He brings youthful energy and courage to the square, he helps us.
