In the first half of the match, Žalgiris, who played point-to-point with the opponents, opened after the break: Kaunas, who had attacked Neptūnas’ attack, forced the visitors to make 19 mistakes and attacked from distance only by one 17 percent. precision (3/18). M. Schiller was happy with such statistics from Klaipeda residents.
“We are happy with the victory and the way we won it. At the end of the first half we defended poorly, but then we were focused, working from the heart. Errors are something caused by aggressive defenses. Opponents miss shots when we cover them. We did well on defense, so we are satisfied, “Schiller said at a news conference.
The Austrian strategist allowed rare player Marek Blaževičius to appear in this match, who scored 4 points (2/5 dvit.) In 17 minutes, he bounced 4 balls, took 1 ball, made a successful pass, blocked 2 shots and scored 6 utility points.
M. Schiller explained the decision to send M. Blaževičius to the Lithuanian national team’s camp next week and spoke about the problem that this season has hampered the development of the 19-year-old.
“It just came to our knowledge then. He is a talented boy, we really like him. Both as a player and as a human being. On Monday, he goes to the national team camp. We are happy because he will be able to hang out there. It is very important that he a young player competes.
The situation in our team is as it is. Marek is not helped by the coronavirus, which caused the cancellation of three LKL matches. It was supposed to be a game he could play. It suddenly happened that Marek couldn’t play for a whole month, which is a big problem for the young player.
Marek is a great player, we continue to work with him and he himself works aggressively and hard. Handles this situation perfectly. His time will come ”, taught the helmsman of Žalgiris.
The Austrian, who came to Kaunas from the NBA Development League, received a question from Rokas Grajauskas about the NBA Rookie Exchange applications at a press conference, which was eventually withdrawn by his students M. Blaževičius and Rokas Jokubaitis. The technician welcomed this decision.
“Marek and Rock made the right decision because the American scouts want to watch the basketball game live. Now they couldn’t appear at the club’s training sessions. The NBA scouts saw their local players all season and didn’t meet the Europeans. Acting in club training is very important for foreigners, “said the specialist.
At that time, Neptūnas strategist Tomas Gaidamavičius was left alone to enjoy an honorable fight in the first half of the match after the match.
“The first half was quite good, we controlled our game, we executed the combinations well, we did well on defense. Perhaps” Žalgiris “was awake after the trips. In the second half, we collapsed when the opponents started using more active defenses. against our players. That led to that result. We are happy that we faced the Euroleague team in two quarters, “said T. Gaidamavičius.
