J. Lekšas criticized the absurd FIBA windows and awaits the victory of "Žalgiris" against the vulnerable "Hapoel"

J. Lekšas expresses his concerns regarding the FIBA windows and is hopeful for a strong performance from "Žalgiris" in their upcoming match against "Hapoel".

In a lively discussion, J. Lekšas and his fellow commentators reflected on various recent events, including disappointments in the Eurovision selection and the Winter Olympics, before delving into basketball news. They focused on the newly announced candidate list for the Lithuanian men's national basketball team ahead of the upcoming FIBA windows, which features six players from Žalgiris. There was apprehension expressed about the looming potential drama surrounding team dynamics outside of plays, particularly concerning player-coach communication.

Lekšas and Vaitiekūnas humorously addressed concerns about communication issues, specifically mentioning Azūolas Tubelis and his interactions with the coaching staff. However, with a more serious tone, Lekšas assured listeners that this time, issues are likely to be avoided. He cited information indicating that the national team staff has communicated with all players, and they have expressed intentions to attend training sessions.

Looking ahead, the Lithuanian men's national basketball team is set to face Iceland on February 27 and March 2. Although Vaitiekūnas questioned the need for maximum effort against such an opponent, Lekšas offered insights into the importance of preparedness, reflecting the competitive spirit and strategic planning essential for success in international basketball.
