Grizzly for victory? Valan 18+9+2 breaks 2 hats to play superstar momentum, Lithuanian Lock Group B second

On the evening of September 3, in the group stage of the 2025 Men's Basketball Team, the Lithuanian Men's Basketball Team narrowly defeated the Swedish Men's Basketball Team 74-71. Sweden led 7 points in the first quarter of this game, and Sweden was still 6 points in the first half, but Lithuania overtook 21-14 in the third quarter. The two teams were in a stalemate until the last moment. The balance of victory was tilted towards Lithuania after losing a goal 39 seconds before the end of the game of the Rathon.

You can see Valanciunas' desire for victory in this game. He rarely glared on the field. He asked his teammates to run to the bottom corner. After missing the 39-second Latson before the final game, Valan protected the most important backcourt rebound. Then Vilicka made a foul and made two free throws. Lithuania opened 73-69 to 4 points. From here, the victory has been controlled by Lithuania.

I feel that Valan's body dimension has increased again. He can also carry one person to shoot under the basket. In 26 minutes of the game, he made 7 of 11 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 18 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 63.6%, plus or negative value +9, and an efficiency value of 25.

After this game, Lithuanian men's basketball team won 4 wins and 1 loss (+38) and has locked in second place in Group B. Germany's five consecutive victories (+164).

33-year-old Valan is still the backbone of Lithuania. Without Sa's appearance, he averaged 18.9 minutes per game, scored 15.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.4 steals and 1 block, with a shooting percentage of 66%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 75%. He still made very efficient contributions when he had physical fitness.

This is why the Nuggets want to persuade Valan to stay in the team. The Nuggets hope that Valan will play 15-20 minutes in a game to relieve stress for Jokic. The Nuggets convert Valan to 10 million in the 26-27 season to full guarantee. It is also believed that he still has a high level before he was 35 years old.
