Kazys Maksvytis, head coach of Zalgiris, spoke ahead of the EuroLeague match against Olympiacos in the 10th round.
Kazys Maksvytis will have the opportunity to continue the winning streak, as the Lithuanian team outplayed Bayern in the previous round.
“Olympiacos is one of the best teams in the EuroLeague. Unlike us, they started the season uncertainly, but they have started winning lately. It is a team that dominates in height, has good ball movement, and it’s not easy to play against them. We will try to slow down their dominance in the interior positions. Not only can they score and rebound, but they can also assist from there. We have prepared, and we will try to win,” said Maksvytis.
Zalgiris will immediately have the opportunity to face their former team member who strengthened the opponent. Naz Mitrou-Long now represents Olympiacos. The Lithuanian team is now working on his replacement.
“We are actively searching for new reinforcement. We are missing someone in his position, someone with experience. We can afford to look like this for a few games, but we really need an addition, and we are working very hard on it,” stated Maksvytis.
The match between Olympiacos and Zalgiris is scheduled for Friday at 8:15 PM.
