According to the statement made by the yellow-dark blue club, Jasikevicius, who gave his opinions about the match before the match to be played at Ülker Sports and Event Hall, stated that Zalgiris was one of the best defensive teams.
Stating that it was difficult to score against the Lithuanian representative, Jasikevicius said:
“They are a team that can change their defensive strategies from game to game, from quarter to quarter. They can play very variable both defensively and offensively. They have a lot of shooters. They usually play with four shooters at the same time. So we need to understand how to defend them and protect Francisco and Walker as much as possible.” It’s really important that we try to control it.”
Dyshawn Pierre, one of the experienced players of Fenerbahçe Beko, also stated that they will have a tough fight and they want to complete the double match week with two wins.
