He “flyed” for Kaunas and tomorrow (02/01, 20:00) game with Zalgiris in the 19th Euroleague race, with Nikola invited to answer for his contract. Nikola Milutinov spoke about the game with Zalgiris in Euroleague, but was also asked about the new year, on New Year’s Day, wishing titles for Olympiacos. CORVERSE Milutinov’s statements About the game with Zalgiris: “It will be very difficult for us. Everyone knows how good Zalgiris is at her headquarters in front of her audience. It is one of the best Euroleague teams on the defensive track, so it will be a difficult game. We must go there, be competitive and show why we are in the position we are now. Lonnie Walker gave Zalgiris a big boost, he is an amazing player. We have to play team defense against him, beyond the player who will personally take over his branding. It will be a difficult job, but generally they have good shots and good rosters, so overall it will be a difficult game.” About what he’s been waiting for since 2025: “A year from now? If we look at it basketball, I’ll be very happy if we can win the Euroleague. It will be a great achievement. But also the other two titles. Beyond basketball, I wish everyone were healthy and successful. You know, health is the most important thing. Everything else comes.” For his contract: “You never know. We’ll see about the new contract when the time comes. Now the most important thing is to play in Kaunas and do the job right.”
