The match on Nemunas Island will start at 20:00. The match will be broadcast live by the new generation television Go3, and the portal tv3.lt will help follow the progress of the meeting.
Kaunas have won four victories in a row at the moment, and a win today would mean that they would become the undisputed leaders of the Euroleague.
Žalgiris can also improve the club's best EuroLeague start record since 2016, when the current format was introduced.
“A double week is always like a coin toss, you never know how the games will turn out and how both teams will perform. The objective facts are that Monaco are a good team, well coached with a wonderful leader Mike James, one of the best defenders in the EuroLeague. He can score and pass in many different ways. You will have to climb a high mountain.
First of all, we need to recover our energy, because we spent a lot of it against Crvena Zvezda. The match was long, with many breaks due to reviews, but nothing can replace the victory with a decisive shot. It gives wings. I expect a very difficult match. They won a difficult match in a difficult environment against Partizan and that's it,” Andrea Trinchieri said before the match.
PROGRESS OF THE MATCH:
First half: Zalgiris 20:11 Monaco
At the beginning, both teams exchange good attacks, and Žalgiris leads 5:4. Right here, A. Trinchieri is penalized with a technical foul.
The French team throws penalties, D. Motiejunas adds a two-pointer, and the score is tied at 9:9.
But “Žalgiris” scores four points in a row and is again ahead 13:9.
Although the Žalgiris players could get penalties… but I. Brazdeikis nailed a three-pointer, managed to play well in defense, so after the first quarter the Kaunas team was already leading 20:11.
