19-year-old, 199cm tall Prienai CBet forward Tomas Digbeu played his career match in the LKL against Kaunas Žalgiris, where he belongs.

The Frenchman scored 27 points in 33 minutes (6/9 dvit., 4/10 trit., 3/4 penalty), bounced 11 and took 1 ball, made 2 assists, caused 6 fouls and scored 35 utility points .

Despite the defeat of the Prienai club in Kaunas during the 100: 103 overtime, Digbeu was voted LKL MVP of the week.

According to Mantas Šernius, if the Frenchman continues to work hard, he may wear a “Žalgiris” jersey next season.

“Tom is a talented basketball player, only he has to understand that he cannot train like he did before coming to Prienai. If he continues to work like this, I think he will be an interesting basketball player, maybe he will return to” Žalgiris “next time. season, “Šernius said.

Prieni’s team had a great chance to win, but in the decisive attack Steve Vasturia scored a difficult 3-pointer and started extra time, and in extra time two 3-pointers from CBet passed the decisive time and beat Žalgiris.

“It just came to our notice then. In some places it was worth it, in some places, no, Šernius said after the match. – I’m glad we held the tie until the end of the match and we had a really good chance. We played in a reduced rotation, so my only chance was to keep “Žalgiris” close to all games with this style of play.

I think the men believed what we had planned. We played the same way as in the first match with “Žalgiris”, only today the match went much better and the men have gained confidence. That was enough today. Without a doubt, “Žalgiris” returned after the trip, after a difficult struggle not only physically, but also psychologically. We are in a good position for victory, but it is a shame that we failed.

Of course, before the last attack by “Žalgiris” we were a bit late to change, of course, the combination was well executed, at good speed. The young people lacked experience in this type of episodes. For us, this is a very good video lesson on how to defend against one last attack. “

Sherry also revealed that team midfielder Khadim Sow is looking for a new club.

“He is just another training man today,” said Šernius, a 21-year-old 210cm tall basketball player who played in the LKL this season for about 6 minutes.
