LKL Snaiperis 2015 - R.Giedraitis (Šiauliai)

I would definitely go with Peru, but I think Plusine would also be a good option and obviously safer. Neptune may not have Janavičius, but I believe this Neptune team can confidently take on the Wolves and not only win at home, but also the Wolves do not have the mentality or anything, they are just a put together team and no one is interested. Neptune feels like they are fighting and will fight until the end, but with this lineup, Wolves are definitely not scary.

A very productive series, and although the first games seemed to have a favorable result in terms of the number of shots made, the pace was much slower in the second game and they still managed to surpass it thanks to their excellent 3-point shooting. Both teams are not among the fastest in the LKL league, but Wolves have a better defense than Rytas and Zalgiris. There should be a lot of tension between both teams, especially for Wolves, as losing here would be a big disappointment for them.

The final match, in which there will be a lot of intrigue in my opinion.

Siauliai will continue to feel pressure from both the government and the audience, and their legion may not understand why everyone is supporting Neptunas in their home arena, etc. Of course, Siauliai has something to prove in order to earn a "name" and finally make it to the semifinals on their third attempt. They have capable players to do so and I agree that they are the favorites, but not to the extent that bookmakers suggest in my opinion.

Firstly, Neptunas definitely has more experienced players, which gives them a certain advantage. Secondly, the audience, I have heard, that even the simple morning fans will come to support Neptunas, so all the pressure is on Siauliai and Neptunas knows this well, knowing that they are weaker on paper and theoretically have nothing to lose. But in sports, with crucial matches like this, not everyone can handle the pressure in the most important moment. The downside is that they will be without Žygis, no matter what type of player he is, it is definitely a big loss for Neptunas in terms of experience and other nuances.

Secondly, the coaching experience is on Neptunas' side and I like that overall, it seems that the Greek coach has charisma and I truly believe that motivation is not needed for such matches. To sum up, I do not expect a blowout in the final match, as the bookmakers suggest, and all the pressure should be on Siauliai, which I believe will result in a small margin between these teams in my opinion.
