“We are entering this game after a contradictory week for us. After celebrating a victory in Belgrade against Crvena Zvezda, we suffered a loss in Serie A, so we have the motivation to showcase the best possible performance. Zalgiris is a team that possesses a lot of strength and athleticism, with a clear identity.
In the offensive phase, they clearly exploit the advantages created through Edgaras Ulanovas and Rolands Smits, while the team’s leader is Keenan Evans. I expect a tough game against a team capable of playing at a high level from game to game. Our intentions are to continue progressing in the EuroLeague,” said Ettore Messina.
