Utena’s players played in this match without Vaidas Kariniauskas, Martynas Gecevičius and Ignas Vaitkus, so Urbonas’s main goal in the match was not to get injured.
“We played very well, great. To endure so much pressure from “Žalgiris” in the seven … It seemed like they were angry, under pressure, and for me, as a coach, the most important thing was to avoid injuries in this match. Knowing his physique, the most important thing was that somewhere someone would not get any nonsense. We played better than I expected because there was an idea of not losing 40 points. The turnover was zero because we had five people in 4 positions. Just put – engineUrbonas spoke about the duel.
Gintautas Matulis made the best career performance of the LKL match.
This performance by Matulis was also appreciated by Urbonas when asked about such a veteran game.
“It just came to our notice then. Still, I’m blinded by how our veterans played today. Great, I have no blame for them. I mean, we played against” Žalgiris, “his coach yelled, he saw that he was angry, and I just wanted survive this game. Somehow a good mood even after the loss. Everything is great, we are at our own pace, “said Urbon.
At the time, Žalgiris strategist Martin Schiller was happy to have managed to distribute the minutes well, because on Tuesday his team will play the match in Šiauliai.
Juventus are a very strong team in attack, but of course it was more difficult for them without some perimeter basketball players. I think we played well in defense only in the first part of the game. “I’m glad we managed to distribute the minutes and we will have another game in 48 hours,” Schiller said.
