"Lietuvos rytas" - "Neptunas":: J.Palacios and R.Seibutis returns to "Siemens" arena
On Saturday, BC "Lietuvos rytas" will play against Klaipeda "Neptunas" club, and this match promises to fans another unforgettable evening.
In the last few seasons, these two teams have been playing very often among themselves - since the 2014 Batsafe-LKL championship, 26 games have been played.
The most important part of "Neptunas" summer work is the recapture of trainer Kazys Maksvytis, who replaced Dainius Adomaitis in his post.
Last season, a 40-year-old specialist showed great results in Panevezys and it seems that the directors of "Neptunas" made a right choice.
During preseason Klaipeda club invited four former "Lietuvos rytas" players (Juan Palacios, Laimonas Kisielius, Tomas Delininkaitis and Renaldas Seibutis), and also center Simas Galdikas.
"Neptunas" also signed contract with playmaker Malcolm Armstead - a couple of seasons ago, a 28 year old American became the most successful Adriano league player.
Betsafe-LKL championship K.Maksvytis players started successfully - in the first six games they achieved five victories.
They beat Siauliai (82:73), Prienai-Birstonas Vytautas (94:78), Utena Juventus (73:72), 92:73 did not leave hope for Kedainiai "Nevezys" at home and forced to give the title defending Kaunas "Zalgiris" (73:64).
The only failure was match in Panevezys, when "Neptunas" 76:88 did not hold against the "Lietkabelis" club.
