Coach Luca Banchi spoke before Olimpia arrived in Lithuania to play Zalgiris Kaunas in the seventh day of the Euroleague regular season: “It’s a very important game against a team fighting for its chances to qualify for the Top 16. We experienced in the Milano game how dangerous they’re inside with Javtokas and Jankunas, plus they also have Lavrinovic this time out. We’ll play in a packed house so it’ll be important to stop their energy, their fastbreak and containing their outside shooters because the last few games they looked very inspired from the arc with Pocius, Jasikevicius and Dentmon”.
Keith Langford, the team’s leading scorer, had this to say: “We want to win in Kaunas and get to the Top 16 or making a great step towards our goal. We don’t have to look to the past, the schedule or the home game against this team. Our mindset should be this one: try to finish as early as possible what we started”.
