Wolves Team News
The team that entered the first Lithuanian league last season is playing excellent basketball this season, and they are in third place with a score of 12-5. They are especially dangerous at home, where they have a lot of help from their crowd. They have a 6-2 record at home.
This season they put together a very good and quality team for the level of the Lithuanian league. The most famous name is certainly the former NBA player and long-term member of Real Madrid, Jeff Taylor, who recently had many problems with injuries, but he still plays at a high level in the Lithuanian league. The Wolves team is made up of local players who bring a special tone to the Wolves game. Juskevicius, Zemaitis, Zukauskas, and Lukauskis are just some of the guys who are playing great this season. In addition to Taylor, the main players of the game are the Americans Buckner and Caver, who are the main options in the attack.
Wolves will try to take advantage of Zalgiris’ bad run, and their problems with injuries and fatigue from the double round of the Euroleague. But the problem for them is that they felt the power of Mano Commanda in a very short period, and were defeated twice very convincingly in the King of Mindaugas Cup.
Zalgiris Team News
The team from Kaunas plays real warrior basketball, which is pushed by the Lithuanian coach Maksuytis, who revived the team from Kaunas. During the season, they were without Keenan Evans, who injured his Achilles tendon and ended the season. Evans was the best player of Zalgiris, as well as a link in defense and attack. In addition to Evans’ injury, Mantas Kalnietis decided to end his career. That’s why they decided to act in Kaunas and signed two Efes players, namely Isaiah Taylor and Achille Polonara.
In Kaunas, at the beginning of the season, the Lithuanian representative Ignas Brazdeikis arrived from the NBA. Besides these two, there are also Lekavicius, Ulanovas, Butkevicius, Smits, and Hayes. A physically very powerful team. During the season, young Dimsa and Birutis showed themselves very well. However, Zalgiris has been in trouble in the last few weeks. They are on a streak of four defeats, and they were especially hurt by the defeat against Jonava in the last round of the LKL. While Partizan also smashed them in front of a full Zalgirio Arena.
However, we think that the “greens” will not allow two consecutive defeats in the Lithuanian championship. All teams are in trouble when they physically cannot answer Zalgiris. Zalgiris “beat up” the Wolves in the Cup and they easily won.
