Jonava’s CBet basketball players, who are preparing for major clashes with Telšiai, are forced to take a break. Due to the confirmed case of COVID-19, both matches between CBet and Telšiai, which were due to take place this week, have been postponed. In the NKL league, Jonava’s basketball players have already lost seven straight games to Telšiai, but the chances of finishing this series will have to wait.
CBet rookie Andražas Kavašas will also have to wait for his league debut. “We will finally have a center,” he sighed. Virginia Ferrets, when the Slovenian arrived in Jonava this week. A.Kavašas, 28, 208 cm tall, joined the team for a trial period.
When Giedrius Staniulis, who had started the season strong, left CBet, more puzzles were opened for V.Šeškas. “Values without a great person: it was difficult in training, it was also felt in the game, because some guys had to play in different positions,” said V.Šeškus.
A few seasons ago, while playing for the Liepaja club, A. Kavašas scored 16.0 points in the Latvian-Estonian league and surpassed the United States Student Basketball School (NCAA). He played for the Brno club last season, scoring 3.8 points each in the Czech league.
“He is not a classic midfielder, at 208cm tall, he can hit from afar. We will see how he will do it,” said V.Šeškus, emphasizing that finding the right player at this stage of the season is not easy.
“There is not much to choose from, not much offer. Please understand that attracting a good player to the Lithuanian second league is not easy, even with more money. The LKL players themselves look quite casual, so it takes a lot of work Everyone understands that finding a player who can knock down mountains is difficult for NKL teams. “
“Of course, it is not good when the team completes and changes during the season,” continued V.Šeškus. It is very difficult for a team to make that common fist. But obviously we suffered without a center: we had to sacrifice a lot, change the defense systems, use a lot of help. Be that as it may, the NKL has good coaches who analyze, prepare the teams for the games and learn to take advantage of the rivals’ gaps. “
Despite the difficulties, CBet achieved six consecutive victories and settled in the first position of the NKL ranking (6/1). However, according to V.Šeškaus, the team was still climbing.
“It just came to our notice then. We met in early October and started playing right away. I said that our game needs to improve in the first weeks of November, which is what happened. We are moving forward, although the progress has affected us a lot. by G. Stanani. It would be our main, even our only center, so when we left we had to rethink everything, adapt. It’s not easy to change your playing style once the season starts.
CBet has scored more than 90 points (average 100.0) in the last four games, but V.Šeškus does not emphasize the impressive number of attacks shown recently: “Our attack indicators are understandable. Still, there are a lot of LKL experienced players on the team, and perhaps we don’t play with the strongest teams. The games with stronger competitors will show it all. “
V.Šeškus would not refuse to buy another player. Aurimas Urbonas, who went from Šiauliai to CBet, showed averages close to triple-doubles (8.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 9.0 rebounds) in two games played, but the coach would like to catch the players in the market. another basketball player, a real player.
“A. Urbonas cannot play every game as a player. He is not a complete player, he can also be useful in offensive defense and easy edge positions. It can be good to pass the ball and play” two against two “, but we would not be a Real player who can help line up the team on the court. We’re watching. “
V.Šeškus is convinced that competition in the league will only intensify as the season accelerates. According to the CBet coach, such a strong six-team team has almost never competed in the NKL league:.
“We can turn down the last teams and we have to play with everyone else. For example, Perlas de Vilkaviškis have only won a few games, but they are a really good team. Now they play on trips, but when they start playing at home, they will start. looking for victories. And those youth teams, “Perlas-Energija”, “Žalgiris-2”, “Neptūnas-Akvaservis”, which are well trained, will definitely advance. Youth teams always start to play well after the New Year. We already play with Klaipeda, who was without several leaders, and there was definitely something to do. “
“I think the league is really strong this year,” concluded V.Šeškus. I keep hearing rumors that other teams are looking for backup. This is good. The faster teams move towards LKL, the better for basketball. ”
