The reigning champs couldn’t pull off a two-win opening week in Euroleague, and Saras Jasikevicius couldn’t be sadder about it.
Fenerbahce lost against Zalgiris Kaunas in a very close game, which left the Lithuanian head coach totally unsatisfied.
As he said: “This is not the first game we have lost. We cannot play this type of basketball on the road; it’s not physical. Obviously, everybody knows the strengths of Zalgiris players and apparently we don’t understand which hand is right, which one is left, so we lost the game“.
After almost 30 minutes of local domination, the game was very close at the end, but Fenerbahce couldn’t find a way to get the win.
“Very surprisingly, after a horrible performance in the first minutes, we made it a game, showed a lot of character, and found Wade (ed.note: Baldwin), who was very hot today. And at the end, we lost the same way we lost in Bursa, by settling down for three pointers, not playing driving basketball, which wins the game; we were just jacking up three-pointers, and it cost us“.
