Lonnie Walker reflects on his EuroLeague debut.
In the 8th week of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, Bayern Munich defeated Zalgiris Kaunas at home, securing their fifth consecutive win. Lonnie Walker, a new addition to Zalgiris Kaunas, made his debut for the team but had a disappointing performance.
Playing 12 minutes in Munich, Walker went 0-for-8 from the field and finished the game scoreless. Reflecting on his performance, Walker remarked, “I couldn’t hit a basket if the hoop were as big as the ocean, but this was my first game.”
He continued, “I learned a lot. Bayern Munich won, and they’re on a five-game winning streak. I had a bad game, but we’re having a great season overall. I’m not worried or upset about how I played.”
The star player expressed confidence in himself, adding, “This is a new environment, but I’m giving it my all every day. I believe in myself. I want to take more shots and be mentally and physically ready for the next game.”
When asked about the difference between the NBA and EuroLeague, Walker said, “It’s a bit more physical here, but overall, there’s not a huge difference.”
