Jonaviškiai misplaced 90:96 towards Vilnius “Rytas” at house, misplaced the quarterfinal collection 0-2 and ended their season within the Lithuanian Basketball League (Betsafe-LKL).
“, the season will not be for me to guage. Admire the administration, viewers – V. Šeškus began the press convention. – It wasn’t as dangerous as I mentioned – a curler coaster. It is extremely good that at present after the match in Vilnius we have been in a position to change one thing through the day and we noticed that it labored effectively. We have been near successful, however taking part in the sport with out the quantity 4… on the finish it isn’t good to speak, however Ivan Marinkovic did not assist us once more… I believe we performed unbelievable”
Initially of the match, Tauras Jogėla stormed the referee on account of an initially unrecorded foul towards Edvinas Šeškas, after which obtained two technical fouls and was ejected from the match simply two minutes into the match.
Was V. Šeškus offended as a result of the workforce captain left the sector so early?
“, probably not offended. You noticed that episode your self… then the refs reviewed the episode, known as an unsportsmanlike foul… he was proper there in that episode. Earlier than the match, we requested the referees to observe such moments, as a result of at present there have been even two unsportsmanlike ones. After all, the beginning of the match, perhaps that second technical foul perhaps should not have occurred. Each towards Edwin. First – all the pieces is ok, however second… how will you have a look at it. And Tauras is responsible. The referees may have seemed on the first minute of the match extra tolerantly. I believe there are lots of issues in life that may get an individual off the pitch.
I believe there are lots of issues in life that may get an individual off the pitch. I will not say that if Taurus had been there, we’d have received. His exit simply united everybody. As many matches as we performed, I noticed the gamers on the again the best way they need to play – everyone seems to be fired up, it is good to observe.
I believe it is regular that when the match begins, a minute later, the referee is standing proper subsequent to him and does not report a foul. In all probability, now we have introduced feelings from the final match. There have been issues… I am scorching myself. I am very completely satisfied that we ended the season like that. Everyone knows it is arduous earlier than “Morning”. We performed evenly in entrance of our spectators for 38 minutes. Then they hit 3-pointers. No matter you do, it’s as it’s,” mentioned V. Šeškus.
– You led by 5 factors within the fourth quarter, however after that “Rytas” went on an 8-0 run. Have the hotheads stepped in?
– , there are quite simple issues in every single place. We did not defend the ball in some locations, after we have been main by three factors, Edwin missed from beneath the basket, the ball received away after which we get the factors again. You get such hooks. In these locations the place we would have liked to assault, we did not assault, the place we would have liked to drop the ball, we did not drop and assault.
I advised them to throw the ball to Edwin when the play goes on – he goes, however… It is regular. They started to alter from a striker to a midfielder. We do not have gamers who play one-on-one, we do not have gamers who play with their backs to the basket.
I’m completely satisfied about one factor – we ended the season with good feelings for the viewers. It actually wasn’t like “Rytas” got here and ran over us and that was it. “Ryto” gamers additionally advised us: “Thanks for such sparring.”
– What could be your Betsafe-LKL playoff prediction?
I’d go along with Wolves taking part in Rytu within the semi-finals. “Rytas” got here to Jonava after taking off the fuel. After they performed us in Vilnius… they actually gave a battle, they’re very tough to play with, everybody can hit, you possibly can’t take possibilities with anybody. We visited Gytis Masiulis – bam, it hit. I believe the Wolves could have a tough time with them.
– Will we proceed to see Virginijius Šeškas in Jonava?
– 4 years (in Jonava – ed.)… others have to guage, however I believe that nice work was executed in Jonava. 4 years in the past, we received the Nationwide Basketball League (NKL). Perhaps there would have been a state of affairs the place we did not win and Jonava would not be in LKL… I believe that the work has been executed very a lot.
Give an instance the place a rookie workforce finishes fourth of their first season. We completed fifth, and after the playoffs, we completed fourth. Present the debutants who stay second within the KMT … I believe there was area right here.
Subsequent, Jonava will consider. We have been 6-7 this 12 months, however we have been turning issues round all 12 months.
– What awaits you subsequent?
– First – relaxation. It was a really tough 12 months each emotionally and holistically. We completed the season very late final 12 months after which we began trying on the squad early however we did not get … we did not get the gamers … it’s totally tough. You discuss on podcasts (webcasts)… quite a lot of reality was mentioned, but in addition quite a lot of injustice about Jonava. Not everybody is aware of all of the nuances that have been there. It actually wasn’t straightforward.
– What was essentially the most painful speech within the public area?
– I do not wish to lie, I do not wish to inform the reality both (smiles – ed.). It was a really tough time for me after we misplaced to Šiauliai, the dismissal of a participant, there have been quite a lot of doubts, I assumed perhaps I would go away… then the win towards “Vilkus”.
There was a suggestion to go to Klaipėda to work there, there have been discussions, however I made that call (to remain), as a result of leaving Jonava could be like giving up. Jonava has to play within the eight. Imagine me, it actually wasn’t straightforward. “Šiauliai” and “Wolves” have been overwhelmed. It was actually arduous. I believe that Jonava didn’t embarrass himself.
