Although Goudelock’s +/- stat (-15) remained the worst for Ryto’s team, the seasoned American defender pushed the team forward at the most responsible moment of the match against Strasbourg SIG.
Five American points at the end of the fourth quarter allowed Donald Kairis’s students to catch up with and overtake their rivals. “Rytas” won the first victory of the Champions League season on Tuesday night and overall participated in this tournament – 83:81.
A. Goudelock spent a total of 24 minutes on the floor, during which he scored 9 points (3/8 doubles, 1/4 trit., 0/1 penalty), bounced 4 balls, made 4 assists, served 1 ball, He was wrong twice and got 7 efficiency points.
The 31-year-old American himself did not search for words to describe his performance until the breakthrough for a long time, but at least he was glad he managed to catch up at an important moment.
“I played terribly for the first 30 minutes of the game,” he admitted. “But the game lasts 40 minutes and I am glad that we were able to contribute to the team’s victory.”
“The game was very tense. I think that in the end, each one of our shots was very important. With 2 minutes to play, we were 5 points behind, but we were able to keep the good energy, hit and bounce the balls, that helped to stretch victory ”, continued the American.
Goudelock admitted that the team breathed easier after winning in France: a series of failures had already started to cause considerable psychological distress. According to him, both the players themselves and the team’s fans.
“The last two weeks have not been successful, we lost in the Champions League, the LKL championship, so the victory gives us confidence. Both for us and for the fans we were already tired of seeing losses. It will definitely be better. “, said.
We remind you that before the victory in France, “Rytas” had suffered 4 defeats in a row – in the LKL championships, Kaunas “Žalgiris”, Kėdainiai “Nevėžis” and Pasvalys “Pienovaigždės” were lost, and in the Champions League – Athens “Peristeri” basketball players.
This Saturday, at the LKL “Ryto” Championship, a trip to Utena awaits you, where you will have to support your weapons with a sufficient Juventus of coronavirus.
At that time, there is a long hiatus in the Champions League: Vilnius residents will play the next home game with Riga VEF only on December 8.
It should be noted that after two rounds in Group E of the Champions League, the four teams, Rytas, VEF, SIG and Peristeri, each have a victory.
