For the capital club, this game did not mean anything in the sense of qualification, when the Dzuks were fighting for the playoffs.

“The objective of the experienced players was not to relax, and we asked the youngsters for energy, which they gave, especially in defense. When they work so defensively, the attack ball discovers them and today they have been rewarded.

Proud of the team, it is not easy to play such a match because the opponents played a match live or dribble. You know, we are a team that hates losses, ”Žibėnas said.

“Dzūkija” scored only 3 3-pointers, but, especially in the first part of the match, he dominated the penalty area. Žibėnas admitted that it is difficult to control both.

“I would like to control both, but here is basketball, not soccer, and the opponents of those points will keep scoring. There was an open field in the first half of the game, they ran hard on a quick attack and scored a lot of easy points. After the break, we fix the board and I have no complaints about the students, ”said Žibėnas.

Mindaugas Girdžiūnas, Gytis Radzevičius, Lukas Uleckas, Rapolas Ivanauskas and Ivanas Buva missed this match, but Žibėnas assured that there were no health problems and they were given rest.
