The Kaunas Žalgiris # ŽalgirisOnAir website, which is delighting fans of the team for the second season, has invited another well-known guest. Jonas Valančiūnas became the interlocutor for episode 31 of the network.
The network’s host, Kipras Serpauskas, spent almost an hour with a member of the Lithuanian men’s basketball team competing in the NBA, and the conversation was not lacking in good humor and interesting stories from the 28-year-old basketball player.
The ever-changing basketball behind the tall Mrizzly Grizzlies has forced him to adapt to new trends – he had to adapt to the requirements of the team coach during the NBA season.
“Throughout the season, I have tried to add something new to my game. Both passing and perimeter of play. I still do not rejuvenate and I have to play with my head more often. You need to know and protect your body. The coach wants to reveal the player strengths, but he also has his own line and needs to adapt, ”Jonas said during the conversation.
Answering several questions, Valančiūnas was sparing no words for his teammate Ja Morant, who became NBA Rookie of the Year, spoke about friendship with Kyle Lowry and highlighted Kawhi Leonardo’s resemblance to LeBron James.
“Kawhi is a very physical player with good progress and finishing. He is one of those who follows in LeBron’s footsteps and competes with him ”, considered the midfielder.
During a recorded conversation at the Žalgiris Arena, Valančiūnas, who was voted the best Lithuanian basketball player four times, confirmed the speeches about the end of his career in Lithuania, which had gone smoothly behind the scenes for some time.
“I promised to finish my degree in Utena, but I will not tell anyone in Lithuania. I have no dislike for anyone. I love Lithuanian basketball and we have to help it, take it to an even higher level, because without help and a little push, there will be nothing, ”revealed the Lithuanian basketball star.
