“Alita” players have little possibilities to play in next R.Korac cup’s stage.
If they want to do so, they have to win having 28 points advantage at home. “Alita”
was wining in 4 minute 8:3, but then it lost 10 minutes period even 2:25
(10:28). Israel team had 36 points advantage in the second half. According to “Alita”
coach V.Masalskis, all his players played poorly. The coach didn’t have bigger
reproaches only for M.Jarusevicius. Long and tiring trip had negative influence
for “Alita” playing. Israel team got solid preponderance in the first half.
Alytus players made even 20 mistakes: D.Lavrinovicius made 6 mistakes, R.Conley
and K.Patiejunas made in 4s mistakes. K.Patiejunas and A.Seferis played
especially bad. K.Patiejunas didn’t score during 33 minutes period and A.Seferis
hit just 2 throws of 12. “Cellcom Galil” players demonstrated better team game.
They made 25 assists, when guests made only 11 assists.

“Siauliai” lost the game against “Telindus”, but saved good possibility to play
in new stage. “We missed free throws in decisive moment”, - A.Sireika, the coach
of “Siauliai”, indicated the main reason of loss. – But three points is not
decisive preponderance”. The coach was content with his players playing, he
picked out R.Giedraitis, V.Pauliukenas and A.Danusevicius. “We have much
unexhausted reserves”, - A.Sireika spoke about next game. – For example, we
could throw in more three pointers”.

points in the middle of the second half (49:41). “Telindus” got preponderance
after 5 minutes – 57:56. Legionary L.Rowe scored even 22 points for masters

Righetti 5, Agostini 2, Tomidy 2, Marangoni 2.)
Haifa ended its European way
this year with a victory. Haifa played vs. a much weaker rival, but Haifa didn't
hustle enough, didn't show it REALLY wants to qualify the next stage. Haifa
forced the Italians to turnover 21 times, and even led 60-46 ('35), but some
3ptrs by Granger and
Righetti killed Haifa's hope.
Add to that some bad substitutions by coach Ashkenzai and the fact that
Andrew Kennedy played only 16
minutes, and realize why Haifa won't play in Europe anymore this year.

Galil will face Magic 7M of Sweden in the next round.
Galil is the only Israeli team which made it to the next stage in Korac.
Although Galil had a good margin from the first game, it was very close to a
loss. Galil suffered from Jammie Arnold's absence. The Lithuanians turned out to be a typcial
home team and took control right from the start. Alita enojyed a poor
performance by Galil's Saffar and
Krasic. On the other hand, Galil had
young Ido Kozikaro with 16 pts and 11
rebounds (6 o.reb) who kept Galil in the picture. Veteran Lior Arditi showed exactly what he's made of when he
narrowed the deficit with two big 3ptrs at the end.
“Alita”
was short of this victory to play in new stage, because it lost the first game
61:88. A.Masalskis, the coach of “Alita”, declared his opinion after the match,
that he will offer not to participate in Korac cup next season. “It is useful
for youths to play in R.Korac cup tournament, but financial losses are big. If
the club wants to reach more, it has to be similar to “Lietuvos rytas” team”, -
reasoned V.Masalskis.
“Alita” had hopes to equalize total result of two games though team’s coaches
could trust just 6 players. E.Kuciauskas and A.Seferis couldn’t play because of
injuries. G.Sivickas and D.Sakalauskas couldn’t help because of illness. “Alita”
got a big advantage in first half, it was wining 9:3, 27:18 and in 16 minute –
34:20. “Cellcom Galil” approached 46:44 in 26 minute, but Lithuanians didn’t get
flustered. They 4 three pointers in turn, “Alita” was wining 60:46 in 10 minute,
after three more minutes the score was – 68:48. “Alita” saved 20 points
difference till 34 minute (71:51). K.Patiejunas and D.Lavrinovicius couldn’t
defend actively, because they had in 4s fouls. “Alita” had some hopes to
increase the advantage in the end of the game, but they made annoying mistakes.
“We wanted to revenge for the loss in firs game, because competitioners thought,
that we are the team of second league, - V.Masalskis affirmed. – We played badly
in the first game because of 2 reasons. We went to the match after the trip,
which was 21 hours long and we didn’t play slowly basketball and we were
punished”.

There's something going on with
Lior Lubin. Since the good games he had in the NT, he seems very not
concentrated and gives some poor performances, including this game Siauliai

were left to play, they equalized the score 69:69.

in 6 minute. But “Telindus” thanks to legionaries increased advantage till 8
points – 19:11. The coaches of “Siauliai” wanted to get over adhesive defense of
“Telindus” and let R.Giedraitis to play though he didn’t recover from injury.

mistakes.

competitioner, which we can overcome playing without mistakes with such
composition”. According to A.Sireika, his players wanted to revenge very much
and this wish disturbed them.

Other games of 2000 Korac Cup Finals
Three Yugoslavian teams FMP Zeleznik, Spartak Subotica and Beopetrol Belgrade
canceled it's participation in Korac Cup. The reason was that FIBA did not
approve Yugoslavian courts for playing domestic games, because of problems with
international flights to Yugoslavia (airports are still in a bad shape after
NATO air strikes on Yugoslavia), so Yugoslavian teams supposed to play their
European cups home games abroad. However FMP Zeleznik refused that explaining
that it does not make any sense to go for every Korac Cup game to Thessaloniki
(GRE), because it would take too much time to travel, and it could effect team
performance in the domestic league.
