Zalgiris Team News
The team from Kaunas is still fighting for the playoffs, but their game has not been promising lately. In the last two rounds of the Euroleague, they achieved two victories, but the truth is that they did so against the two weakest teams in the league. Now perhaps the most consistent team in the league, Olympiacos, is coming to their feet.
In the last round, they defeated the Asvel team and Brazdeikis showed all his magnificent attacking talent. The team from Kaunas misses a lot Keenan Evans, who ended the season by tearing his Achilles tendon, and who led the Zalgiris team at the beginning of the season.
Zalgiris tried to regroup during the season, by bringing in Polonara and Taylor, as well as giving opportunities to young players like Birutis and Dimsa, but none of them brought the security that Keenan Evans brought.
In the last match of the Lithuanian championship, they were defeated by Ritas with a difference of 6 points, on their field, which clearly shows the bad shape they are in.
Olympiacos Team News
Olympiacos is the most consistent team this season and they play dominantly in all fields. They are the first-place team in the Euroleague and are very powerful offensively and defensively. But everything is much easier when you have the most likely future MVP of the league, Sasha Vezenkov, who is unstoppable this season.
Vezenkov brings offensive safety and jumps safety from the PF position, but Olympiacos, along with Real and Barca, is the widest team. Physically and athletically, they can meet all the demands placed before them.
In the last 20 matches, they were defeated only twice, and they achieved all the victories very convincingly. In the last round, they defeated Barcelona and became independent in the first place of the Euroleague.
In our opinion, Olympiacos is a team that stylistically does not match the team Zalgiris. They are one of the few who can match Lithuanians in physical basketball.
