In detail, the Lithuanian center talked about:
– the defeat by Fenerbahçe: “It’s painful, on a scale of 1 to 10, it’s a 10. But that’s basketball. We don’t play in the dark, sometimes it happens like that. We had a very good chance to win and let it slip away. We are not the first to have this happen to them.”
– how Panathinaikos should react: “We have to raise our heads for Friday’s game against Maccabi. We are professionals and we have to do it, show our world that we really care. I think we showed it in this match. Fener is a very good team and we could win.”
-the many offensive rebounds: “I don’t know how many chances we missed. We had a lot of second attacks. This shows our passion to win. But some mistakes hurt you no matter what you do.”
-whether his team progressed: “It’s hard to talk about progress after a loss. But from what I saw from the kids, we showed that we can get better. And we must continue like this.”
-his shooting percentage: “I had 80% in Milan. If I get there again, we’ll all be happy. I’m not sitting at home, nor have I stopped training. I’m always working on this part. Sometimes it’s psychological, not whether you’re a good performer or not. I had some seasons with 80% and nothing has changed since then. I have to be mentally strong.”
