M. Bulanovas' last-second shot secured a victory for Žalgiris-2, ending Sūduva-Mantinga's 19-game winning streak.
Last Saturday, M. Bulanovas made headlines in the basketball community with his challenging winning shot from a distance, helping his team Žalgiris-2 defeat Marijampolė's Sūduva-Mantinga in a critical match. This victory was particularly significant as it ended Sūduva's impressive 19-game winning streak, showcasing Bulanovas' skill and composure under pressure. He recounted how, with only a second remaining, the team had to execute a play that would either go to a teammate near the basket or himself at the three-point line, ultimately being the one who took the shot and made it count.
The victory brought immense joy to Bulanovas and his teammates, reflecting the hard work and determination that led them to such a fantastic achievement. He expressed a sense of thrill and disbelief at their success against a reputedly strong team, emphasizing how such moments are rare in their sporting careers and often filled with high stakes and the potential for disappointment. Scoring 17 points in this match, Bulanovas followed up his performance with an even more remarkable game against Telšiai, where he scored 25 points, highlighting his growing influence in the league.
Looking ahead, Žalgiris-2's next game is scheduled for March 5th, suggesting that they will aim to build on this momentum and possibly string together a series of victories. This could potentially signal a turning point in their season as they continue to face strong competition in the league, underscoring the importance of players like Bulanovas in their pursuit of success.
