Šeškus, happy to return to LKL: “Žalgiris” has potential, but so far they are missing something “/ News

Virginijus Šeškus returned to LKL and came close to causing a sensation: Jonava’s CBet debuted as a serious challenge to Kaunas’s Žalgiris in the league debut match.

After the match, Šeškus was happy with the performance of the students, despite the fact that the team has been playing sports together for only a few days, and many defense systems were tested only on the day of the match.

“The game was not bad, you saw all kinds of fives, we tested some defenses, someone understood,” began the Šeškus press conference. – Actually, this team plays sports together for 8 days. Lecomte has just arrived and, all things considered, I can say that we played very well. “Žalgiris” left and we managed to keep coming back.

Of course, today we find our player Anderson. On this team, any basketball player can shoot one day: Palacios, Lecomte, Anderson, Edwin, Sagittarius. What else would I like to emphasize? In the second half of the match we would have defended very well if we had eliminated Lekavičius’s advances … Of course it’s great and you think we could have had a chance today.

Taking all the circumstances into account, Šeškus was sincere after the match: he had little faith in the students’ chances of posing a serious challenge to the Lithuanian champions.

“If openly, as a percentage before the game, I had very little faith that we could get hooked,” Šeškus said. – “Žalgiris” had lost every game and if he hadn’t won today, you can imagine. They came here just for the win, I think we played very well. “

In the match, Šeškus was practically rotated by seven players: Kahlilas Thomasas, Jacksonas Dubinskis and Justinas Ramanauskas appeared episodically in the square. Jonava’s helmsman revealed that he was looking for reinforcements on the front line.

Šeškus himself returned to LKL after a two-year hiatus. Prieniškis, who made his debut on the dry sand with Jonava club LKL, is not hiding, the feeling is good.

“Good feeling. Of course, when the game holds up and when you fail somewhere, you think you need to spit on everything and ask better questions at the press conference,” Šeškus said with his usual sense of humor.

When asked about “Žalgiris” at the time, Šeškus admitted that the game is not yet deadlocked for the Lithuanian champions.

“We remember the times when Žalgiris struggled at the beginning and before, he had lost in the Euroleague 9 times in a row. This team certainly has potential, but something is missing so far. Maybe they will, each team reaches its peak at some point. I can’t imagine what they’re missing, “Šeškus taught.
