Vilnius “Rytas” presents the fourth episode of “Me2U Iš Arti”. It includes a finished performance in the Champions League, a painful defeat to Panevėžys “7Bet-Lietkabelis” in the semi-finals of the King’s Mindaugas Cup, considerations as to why Citadele KMT’s losing trend continues, by RJ Cole an escape from routine and his never-before-heard story about a difficult period in Vilnius.
The last winter months were difficult for Ryt. Despite the victories in the “Betsafe-LKL” league, on January 10, after losing to Athens “Peristeri” (83:80), the journey of “Ryto” in the Champions League tournament ended. The semi-final of the Citadele King Mindaugas Cup was also difficult. After a tense fight, “Rytas” lost to the Panevėžys team (94:84) and for the third year in a row remained without the Citadele KMT final.
“Something is wrong. The third year seems to come prepared, we are the favourites, something happens that doesn’t go according to our plan. We play, not bad, but at the same time very bad, because the emotion itself. I don’t know if we’re on fire here or what. It’s like turning that circle, it’s the same every year,” Gytis Radzevičius said disappointingly in the new episode of “Me2U Iš Arti”. “Bewitched or something.” I don’t know.”
“We look like the bad guys in this story. Many people who supported “Žalgiris” wanted to see us get together. You have to manage your emotions when things don’t go your way. I saw that situation and it was like an instinct. Defending your teammate who was on the ground. Was this supposed to be the reaction? I can’t answer, but this will be my reaction,” Javins Delaurier commented on the transfer of Dovis Bičkauskis through his teammate.
The fourth episode of “Me2U Iš Arti” focuses on the experiences of RJ Cole. In the documentary, the American shares about his ways to escape from basketball, psychological problems and hopes, looking at the end of the season.
“I was too hard on myself. Sometimes I didn’t have a good match, I blamed myself. I’m a perfectionist, so when things don’t go well, I tend to keep it to myself. Sometimes, if I concentrate too much, it becomes too difficult for me, – RJ Cole said about the difficulties of playing in “Rite”. – “You have to work with yourself psychologically, because if you don’t, it will cause a lot of stress and anxiety. Now, I know what to do – not to keep everything inside.. I can’t blame myself, I can’t blame anyone else,” RJ Cole shared his changed thoughts.
“Long break”: Pasval’s future, Antetokounmpo’s approach to basketball, the “culprits” of “Lietkabel”, a question mark about “Šiauliai” Lithuanians, commendable work of “Nevėžys”, Kosticius who earned a contract and a reflection of the work of CBet’s management
