And one more KMT game. Neptūnas seems to have finally put together a decent lineup with versatile defenders who can also make a difference in offense. Both defenders have had good games and are able to create opportunities for themselves as well as for their teammates, with some of the older players being pushed to the background. In addition, they have acquired well-known LKL player Waterman in the summer, who already knows what it takes to play in this league. They have also managed to go from having mainly LKL games to competing in international tournaments, which is a completely different level of competition. As for Šiauliai, coach Urbonas is trying to rejuvenate the city's team and made radical changes in the summer, as well as bringing in a couple of American defenders who run their entire game. You could already see the impact of these changes in their previous game against Mažeikiai, as both main players were visibly lacking motivation and caused the team to struggle against Žalgiris. Although the team should be led by the Americans, Urbonas has also managed to bring in capable Lithuanian players, who are highly motivated to prove themselves. As always, Urbonas likes a fast-paced style of basketball and we have the weapons to support it. Both teams have tall players who can dominate inside the court, but they are constantly attacked in defense and should struggle to avoid an overall high-scoring game today. Overall, considering the start of the season, the game should be high-scoring.
