After playing well in the second half, the Memphis basketball players won 38:23, and after a long break they finally broke the game.
“It just came to our attention then. The first half was poor in both defense and attack. We made some changes that were supposed to allow us to accelerate. That’s what we did in the second half,” JV said after the victory.
The Lithuanian also received a question about what advice he would give to his teammates when the importance of the game is so great for the Grizzlies team fighting for a place in the playoffs.
“First of all, we have to stay calm and not be too happy. We have to work hard, and when we play during the game we don’t think about that (the fight for the playoffs) and good things will come. Lately we have been playing shaky and unstable. We have to change that. “It’s good that we did it today and we have to move on,” the Grizzlies forward said.
The 92 points lost also became Memphio’s best defensive performance in five games played in the renewed season. Valančiūnas gave the greatest credit for the team’s effort.
“Every night, the most important thing is the maximum effort. We are a young team whose face is a tough team. We have to bring that approach to every match and play hard during every match,” concluded Valančiūnas.
