Teddy Bear has remembered the spectacular Euroleague's anniversary: ​​I like to follow the Davies match because I see myself so much

2004 On January 22, the annals of the Euroleague tournament, as shown by the hour, have been struck long time by Kaunas basketball player, Zalgiris. Fifteen years ago, a legendary greyhound Tanoka Beard has organized a solo show to date.

Zalgiris, who has visited Italy next time, has played a duel in the regular season with the Bologna Skipper Club. Although the match was lost by the Greeks after a difficult and successful bout 107: 117, Beard scored 35 points in the match, bounced 19 balls and had up to 63 scores in hand after the duel. Such a utility score score – the Euroleague record has not been improved so far.

The former long-standing highball match of the Žalgiris in Italy only hit 3 out of 14 colonies, made the 13 touchdowns and even caused 11 rivals. In addition, the basketball player grabbed 10 rebounds on 19 rebounds.

"I remember that Arvydas Sabonis could not take part in these matches, but we needed a lot of victory, and I do not really think much about the minutes, but I'm glad we remember he said Beard 15 years later – And now, I sometimes watch the Zalgiris game.I like to follow the game of Brandon Davies because I see myself so much and that I am happy with his success at such a high level . "

In the match in Bologna, the current captain of Zalgiris' team, Paulius Jankūnas, also played in Kaunas and played his first season in Kaunas. Žalgirietis remembers the unforgettable performance of his former teammate.

"Even after 15 years of match, I remember them," said Jankūnas. – We participated in a field trip to Italy, which was very successful. We have seen since the very first moments of the duel that it will be the day of Tanoka. If I remember correctly, Tanoka started the meeting very aggressively and kept up the pace until the last match of the siren. His statistics were more than impressive. "

Beardas played in Kaunas in 2003-2008. After having played 73 matches in Euroleague (all in Žalgiris), he still holds the third best player in this category with 9.1 rebounds in the history of the league. The average of its utility (18.5 per left per game) is the eighth best in the history of Euroleague.
