Mantas SHERNIUS: “We must win against Paris”

Prometheus’ first assistant head coach Mantas Shernius On the eve of the Paris match, he shared his thoughts about his opponent in the Eurocup.

“In the first month of the marathon called EuroCup, many players in our team were injured. But we have more than 12 basketball players on our roster, so we had the opportunity to make some adjustments to take into account the absence of some players, and the guys played “for themselves and for that guy.”

We had a great training session before the match, after the VEF match we restarted a bit and focused all our attention on the Paris match.

They are an extremely fast team compared to our rivals, their coaches make a lot of substitutions, sometimes they can change three or even four players at the same time and they maintain this tempo for 40 minutes. We must be prepared for this and be vigorous in the evening.

I would like to point out TJ Shorts, an extremely great player on the Paris roster, who is the main creator and game creator of this team. At critical moments of the match, the ball is always in his hands, he controls the team and directs it to the field.

We must curb their pace, fight, try not to lose even a single duel, and be stronger than them in every part of the game on our own field. We have to win,” Shernius said.

The “Prometheus” – “Paris” fight will start on November 1 at 19.00. Sport.ua will carry out the text broadcast of this match.
