After a recent loss in the Euroleague, Azuolas Tubelis, currently representing Kaunas "Zalgiris", expressed joy for his former team Vilnius "Rytas", which reached the FIBA Champions League Final Four. "I wish them the greatest success," said Tubelis, who is currently aiming to help Zalgiris make the playoffs. This season is his first in Kaunas, and he is working hard to contribute to the team's success.
This season, Tubelis averages 9 points per game, with 1 assist and 6 efficiency points. In his last game against "Dubai", he scored 9 points in 23 minutes and opened the scoring for the match. Although Zalgiris lost, Tubelis emphasized that the team has potential and can achieve better results.
Azuolas also shared his thoughts on his former team and how he occasionally watches their performances. "Sometimes I check in if I'm not too tired, I turn on the TV," he said. Tubelis highlighted that his former team is making history, and he is happy for their achievements in international tournaments.
Despite Zalgiris failing to secure a fifth consecutive Euroleague win, Tubelis hopes the team can bounce back and reach the playoffs. "When they catch a wave, they stand stronger on defense, and it's very hard to attack," he said, discussing the opponents' strengths.
In the future, Tubelis plans to continue improving and contributing to Zalgiris's success, and his ambitions and talent could help the team reach greater goals.
