But the guys came back and showed quite a quality and patient basketball. The rivals bounced twice as many balls in attack and I I stressed that in the locker room, because after 2 halves they already had 15 rebounds. We still have to work hard on that. After a long break, the situation improved a bit, but not as much as one would like. We still have a lot to do before automation, ”said V. Pliauga, Žalgiris-3 coach.

“It just came to our notice then. The rotation was very tight as the players who were evaluated at the beginning of the game did not meet expectations and had to reduce the rotation. As long as we had the strength, we were fighting as equals, but the rotation of the Žalgiris team was older and at the end they had more strength. The main reason we bounce more balls in attack is desire. When a player who needs to fight for the ball really wants to get it back, no special science is needed here. there is a feeling and a desire. We have 2 games left before the playoffs. Today, I see that what we need most is to improve the attack, the reading of the situations themselves and the ability to make quality shots and decisions ” said Gintautas Regina, coach of Ryto-MRU-VKM, watching the rest of the season.
