“Zalgiris” lastly fell in opposition to “Rytas” coached by Giedrias Žibėnas after a really altering battle 94:104 and is behind within the grand remaining collection (0-2).
The specialist mentioned that within the decisive second of the fourth quarter, when Edgars Ulanovs rushed in direction of the basket and tried to shut the sport with a profitable shot, he was fouled.
“Greetings to Morning”. Two video games, two overtimes. We gave it our all, but it surely wasn’t sufficient. I am glad for my group as a result of we performed a strong recreation, managed it, hit the profitable shot… why did not we win? We may have accomplished a couple of issues higher… however…
Why are my gamers not revered? Why did Edmond Sumner play simply 8 minutes? Why are we getting whistled immediately by the referee who fouled Justin Gorham within the first recreation and gave him 4 factors in Kaunas as an alternative of an offensive foul?
Why the gamers of “Ryto” can do every little thing, kill Lukas Lekavičius, who’s a participant of the Lithuanian nationwide group… There are not any whistles, there are none. I do not perceive it…
I really feel that the league, the referees, the entire atmosphere needs a tough recreation for “Žalgiris” and needs it to lose. Hear, I’ve sufficient expertise to grasp issues… after the second match (semi-final match in opposition to 7bet-Lietkabels – ed.) the league stop in a short time as a consequence of a refereeing error in opposition to us, after which the referees have been suspended.
I see many issues, however we’re alive, we fought, we performed with out an essential participant, however we didn’t hit free throws. On the finish of the match, L. Lekavičius, who shot 50% of three-pointers this season, missed. We will certainly be again right here.
I’ve many unanswered questions. It is a nation that speaks loudly. I respect what you do, however I ask for a similar respect. I watched the replay after Edgar Ulanov’s final throw. That is an apparent foul for the participant. Why is it not whistled? The referee mentioned there was no foul as a consequence of a excessive trajectory shot after which RJ Cole did the identical in additional time and was fouled. Do they assume that they’ll deceive me?”, A. Trinchieri gushed.
Within the historical past of “Betsafe-LKL” championships, solely Kaunas “Žalgiris” in 1996. got here again from a deficit (0-2) in opposition to Kaunas “Atletas” within the playoffs.
What can be most essential within the upcoming match on Monday, in order that A. Trinchieri’s college students repeat this consequence?
“We’d like one win on Monday. We is not going to look too far forward”, answered A. Trinchieri briefly.
We remind you that the third match of the group collection will happen on Monday (June 10, 18:50) in Kaunas.
– Within the third quarter, “Rytas” made a run at 1:15. What occurred at that second?
“They have been very aggressive and we tried to get to the free throw line, however we could not do it.”
What ought to we do in opposition to an aggressive protection? Now we have to play one-on-one, provoke fouls. We misplaced our steadiness a bit, we made a couple of errors, however…
The factor is that we deliberate to finish the sport with the throw of the captain E.Ulanov… we’re speaking in regards to the whistle, the place there would have been 0.8 seconds left for the opponents…
You understand, I can inform you that we will play higher, however we performed effectively within the first half, we have been struggling within the third quarter, we have been behind by 7-8 factors, then we got here again within the recreation, took a three-point lead, managed the sport after which ?
The massive factor we want is best play from Tom Dimsha and Kevarrius Hayes to assist us. They should discover a method to get into this streak.
“Ryto” captain Margiris Normantas performed an awesome recreation tonight (26 factors, 7/8 doubles, 2/4 triples). What failed within the protection in opposition to him?
– Bravo to Margiris Normant. They’ve Marcus Foster, different gamers. Margiris was good tonight, hit some powerful pictures, we made a few errors letting him into the appropriate hand. The issue is that if Lukas Lekavicius is defending in opposition to him, our midfielders have to assist him. That was one enormous downside. Our assist protection was limping tonight.
– Brady Manek didn’t take the sector tonight. What have been the explanations for this?
– That is the coach’s determination.
– Inform us in regards to the group’s psychological state after falling behind (0-2) within the finals collection.
– I’m not a physician and a psychologist. I feel it was a troublesome recreation for the group immediately, however we confirmed character, coronary heart, missed some pictures. We’re speaking a couple of match the place the match ought to have ended with E. Ulanov’s free throws.
We struggled in each video games, clearly we have been lacking one thing and the very first thing was Keenan Evans. We missed him. We have not had an opportunity to regroup to discover a new steadiness offensively and defensively as a result of we’ve not performed a single recreation since Keenan’s damage.
– Did not you are feeling that Lukas Lekavičius was penalized in protection on this match?
– It felt. Ought to I ask coach Giedrius Žibėnas to not assault Lukas?
