Baskonia Team News

Joan Penarroya’s chosen ones are having a lot of trouble at the very opening of the Euroleague. Although they start every match very well, they finish very poorly. That bad finish and the closing of the game especially punished Real Madrid in the first round, as well as Bayern a few days ago. Even Berlin’s Alba came very close to turning it around, but they simply didn’t have enough quality for it. In the last match against Bayern, Baskonia was constantly in the lead, and they had a five-point advantage at the opening of the last quarter, and then they literally disappeared from the floor.

They scored only 6 points in the last quarter and lost that part of the game by 13 points. Bayern didn’t excel either, but still achieved a very important victory. The visitors grabbed 10 rebounds more than Baskonia, which was one of the key factors in the end, which decided the winner. The problem for Baskonia is the inconsistency of the best player, Markus Howard, who played quite badly at the beginning of the season. In the match against Bayern, he scored only 4 points, which is far below his standards. Vanja Marinkovic scored 13 points, while Sedekerskis and Moneke added 10 points each.

Zalgiris Team News

Zalgiris was defeated in Madrid against Real, in the end, the results can be said convincingly, but in this match, they showed how tough and unpleasant they are as a team that never gives up. They have their own concept of the game, from which they do not deviate for a single moment. Although Real played in a trance in the first half and made a key difference, the Zalgiris players came in much stronger in the second half and limited Real to 5 minutes to score only two points. However, they could not continue until the end in that rhythm, which Real took advantage of and secured a victory. A great game by Brady Manek, who shoots well from a distance, and works well together with Smits, should also be singled out.

Maksvytis was left without his best player this season at the end of the transfer window, of course we mean Brazdeikis, but that did not affect the game of Zalgiris in the slightest. A team with perfectly distributed roles, where everyone contributes.
