Details of what the “clover” coach said after the defeat by Zalgiris:
“Unfortunately we had a very bad first ten minutes and we hurt ourselves. No, we were very good in the other three seasons, but we had more balance. We lost very easily. If in these matches you enter the floor and do not touch the opponent and do not pass in the attack, the opponent will have these percentages in two points and three points. They had 75% in two-pointers in the first half. This means that we did not touch them. We were not enough tonight. Of course, there are excuses, but I can not dwell on them now. Anyway, it’s what it is. We have to keep going. ”
About the war in Ukraine and whether he has talked to people in Russia, where he lived as the coach of Unics Kazan: “It’s difficult what happens to all of us, part of our mind is there. We think it is far from us, but it is not so far from us. I have talked to people, I talked to Dimitris Itoudis in Moscow. I talk to my former team in Kazan and the people there. Things are very ambiguous and I do not want to have a political debate now. Not to mention whether Russia is wrong or right.
There people have their own approach to what is happening. However, what is happening is very bad. It affects all areas of life and the economic side and the social and sports and everything. I hope and wish that a solution is found soon. This question is very correct. This is the dominant theme of the day. Everything else belongs to our microcosm. All people, whether we are Ukrainians or Russians or Americans or Lithuanians or Turks or whatever, under heaven and under God are the same. Now I say philosophical things … We are brothers, as our religion says.
Now, unfortunately, we can not distinguish them, because we have our interests. This puts us in the vortex of war and battle. Sad that it happens and that we do not see reality, but what to do? So is. Under the sky we are all the same, all brothers. Unfortunately, we are fighting. And we fight for money and land. The planet is enough for all of us. “Anyway, those few words.”
