In full strength

The preparation of our team moved to a general stage. All the 14 players were on USH CSKA practice court today for the first time in preseason.

The first practice cannot be named full-valid. Victor Khryapa greeted his teammates and went out for physiotherapy. The players who worked in Vilnius including Ramunas Siskauskas who rehabs after minor back injury went to the weightlifting room. Jonas Kazlauskas continued with the National Teams’ players Nenad Krstic, Anton Ponkrashov, Alexey Shved, Milos Teodosic and Andrey Vorontsevich who studied the new team plays.

It should be mentioned that Jonas Kazlauskas went back from Istanbul last night where the Euroleague head coaches’ and referees' clinic took place. “The rules nuances and game episodes interpretations were the main topic of the meeting”, - Lithuanian specialist said. “All of us – players, coaches, referees – were asked to be more loyal toward our mistakes because we work for the same goal of promoting the basketball and the Euroleague.”
