First and “absolute” h Lithuania!
“Lithuania” also defeated the Montenegro with a score of 91-71, it went 3/3 in the fourth group and qualified as first, leaving the losers in second place.
His team Kazis Maksvitis showed variety in its game, had many players in good condition and did not let Montenegro get close at any point, with the exception of the competitive first period (27-26). Somehow, she finished her group extremely well, where she took three very “uncut” victories.
The leader of the race was Rokas Yokubaitis. The young Barcelona guard was fantastic with 17 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. AEK’s new player, Mindaugas Kuzminskas, who scored 15 points on 5/6 from the field, in just 18 minutes of participation, came close. Jonas Valanciunas had 11 points and 8 rebounds, while Ignas Brazdeikis added another 10 points.
From Montenegro, he stood out again Nikola Vucevic with 19 points, while from 13 they had Marko Simonovic and Kendrick Perry.
We remind you that this particular group intersects with that of Greece, if of course it does its duty against New Zealand and qualifies for the next phase (30/8, 15:40). You can read here how the course of the National Team is affected by its victory Lithuania.
