The outstanding performance of the second half against the Zalgiris should be a guide for its continuation Panathinaikoustarting with Wednesday’s match against Real in Madrid, as he pointed out during departure of the mission for Spain o Arturas Gudaitis.
“The last 20 minutes of the match against Zalgiris is something we have to keep, obviously. The first 20 minutes should be completely forgotten. Our presence in the second half should be an example for the future,” said the Lithuanian center, who knows well how difficult his team’s mission is in Madrid, but also three days later in Vitoria against Baskonia.
“In our mind is only the first match against Real. What can I say about this team. It has on its roster excellent players who have been together for many years. We must present ourselves with the absolute degree of concentration for all 40 minutes of the match because any inactivity of ours can be punished. I think concentration is the most important thing we should have in order to be competitive. From there we will have to control the rebounds but also the pace of the game, because Real is a team that likes to run by surprise and get easy points. We have to be competitive in rebounding against the big bodies and athleticism they have“, he emphasized.
As for his upcoming fights with Eddie Tavares? “He is one of the best tall men in Europe and is always difficult to deal with. A great effort is required from all of us“, write down.
