Amerik\u0101\u0146u centrs Eidz\u0113js Pekers k\u013cuva par valmierie\u0161u sast\u0101va p\u0113d\u0113jo papildin\u0101jumu \u0161aj\u0101 sezon\u0101, aizst\u0101jot uz Islandi sezonas gait\u0101 le\u0123ion\u0101ra gait\u0101s aizbrauku\u0161o Rinaldu M\u0101lmani. Pekers Latvijas \u010dempion\u0101ta izsl\u0113g\u0161anas sp\u0113l\u0113s stud\u0113jis vidzemnieku groza apak\u0161u ar caurm\u0113r\u0101 16 g\u016btiem punktiem un 6,4 izc\u012bn\u012bt\u0101m atl\u0113ku\u0161aj\u0101m bumb\u0101m.<\/p>\n
Fin\u0101ls\u0113rijas tre\u0161\u0101 sp\u0113le aizvad\u012bta. Apraksti, k\u0101da bija sp\u0113le laukum\u0101 ar \u0161o lielo fanu atbalstu, kas n\u0101ca no trib\u012bn\u0113m.
Manupr\u0101t, tas viss s\u0101kas ar m\u016bsu pa\u0161u sp\u0113li aizsardz\u012bb\u0101. Kad m\u0113s esam iesl\u0113gu\u0161ies un zin\u0101m, kad vienam otram j\u0101pal\u012bdz, tad m\u0113s sp\u0113l\u0113jam diezgan labi. Ac\u012bmredzami, publika ir lieliska. T\u0101 t\u0101da ir bijusi kop\u0161 br\u012b\u017ea, kad \u0161eit ierados. Vi\u0146i mums \u013coti pal\u012bdz un dod ener\u0123iju tad, kad piezogas nogurums. “Ventspils” ir laba komanda. Skat\u012bt\u0101ju atbalsts ir bijis milz\u012bgs faktors.<\/p>\n
Kas ir biju\u0161i galvenie uzsvari, lai izc\u012bn\u012btu \u0161\u012bs divas uzvaras p\u0113c k\u0101rtas? T\u0101pat m\u0113s redzam, ka “Ventspilij” divi \u013coti svar\u012bgi lielie sp\u0113l\u0113t\u0101ji ir \u0101r\u0101 no ierindas. K\u0101 tas maina uzsvarus sp\u0113l\u0113 no “Valmieras” komandas perspekt\u012bvas?
Pirmais, ko daru pirms katras sp\u0113les, l\u016bdzos par m\u016bsu komandas un pretinieku komandas vesel\u012bbu. T\u0101 ir pati svar\u012bg\u0101k\u0101 lieta. Gan vi\u0146iem ir p\u0101ris sp\u0113l\u0113t\u0101ji, kuri ir traum\u0113ti, un ar\u012b mums ir p\u0101ris sp\u0113l\u0113t\u0101ji traum\u0113ti. Tas nav veids, k\u0101d\u0101 tu gribi, lai fin\u0101li norisin\u0101tos. Vienm\u0113r esmu teicis, lai b\u016btu lab\u0101kais, tev ir j\u0101sp\u0113l\u0113 pret lab\u0101kajiem. V\u0113lamies, lai visi b\u016btu veseli, bet tas nav m\u016bsu var\u0101. \u0160\u012bs divas uzvaras p\u0113c k\u0101rtas ir n\u0101ku\u0161as t\u0101d\u0113\u013c, ka esam sp\u0113ju\u0161i sakoncentr\u0113ties jau no pa\u0161a sp\u0113les s\u0101kuma, \u012bpa\u0161i aizsardz\u012bb\u0101. Uz to mums ir j\u0101fokus\u0113jas. Kopum\u0101 esam dar\u012bju\u0161i labu darbu, sodot par nevienl\u012bdz\u012bg\u0101m mai\u0146\u0101m. M\u016bsu aizsardz\u012bba ir t\u0101, kas atsl\u0113dz m\u016bsu lab\u0101ko sp\u0113li un \u013cauj doties \u0101trajos uzbrukumos.<\/p>\n
“Ventspils” lielais v\u012brs Za\u0137is ir sava veida le\u0123enda Latvijas basketbol\u0101. Tagad vi\u0146am ir j\u0101sp\u0113l\u0113 \u013coti lielas sp\u0113les laika min\u016btes. K\u0101 ir c\u012bn\u012bties groza apak\u0161\u0101 ar vi\u0146u? Za\u0137im ir liela pieredze, un vi\u0146\u0161 ir zin\u0101ms, k\u0101 viens no fiziski sp\u0113c\u012bg\u0101kajiem basketbolistiem valst\u012b.
J\u0101, vienk\u0101r\u0161i paskaties uz vi\u0146u. Var redz\u0113t, ka vi\u0146\u0161 ir stiprs d\u017eeks. Man teica, ka vi\u0146a sp\u0113le ar\u012b ir att\u012bst\u012bjusies un tagad vi\u0146\u0161 met tr\u012bn\u012b\u0161us daudz bie\u017e\u0101k nek\u0101 agr\u0101k. Visu cie\u0146u vi\u0146am par k\u013c\u016b\u0161anu aizvien lab\u0101kam ar\u012b v\u0113l\u0101k\u0101 karjeras posm\u0101. Ja paskaties, cik augstu vi\u0146\u0161 lec iesild\u012b\u0161an\u0101s laik\u0101, tad neb\u016bt ne\u0161\u0137iet vecs. Vi\u0146\u0161 ir stiprs. Cen\u0161os izmantot citas priek\u0161roc\u012bbas, sp\u0113l\u0113jot dinamisk\u0101k. Vi\u0146\u0161 ir labs sp\u0113l\u0113t\u0101js, kur\u0161 pilda svar\u012bgu lomu sav\u0101 komand\u0101.<\/p>\n
Vai tie elkon\u012b\u0161i, k\u0101 latvie\u0161i saka, ir asi? Vai p\u0113c sp\u0113les n\u0101kas saskarties ar daudz zilumiem?
Visi vi\u0146u sp\u0113l\u0113t\u0101ji k\u0101rt\u012bgi c\u012bn\u0101s. Zinot to, ka svar\u012bgi sp\u0113l\u0113t\u0101ji ir \u0101r\u0101, visa “Ventspils” komanda sp\u0113l\u0113 fizisku basketbolu. T\u0101 ir vi\u0146u sp\u0113les maniere – sp\u0113l\u0113t fiziski. Za\u0137is nedara neko net\u012bru, vi\u0146\u0161 vienk\u0101r\u0161i ir stiprs. Laiku pa laikam to var k\u0101rt\u012bgi just.<\/p>\n
Ko tu sagaidi no s\u0113rijas ceturt\u0101s sp\u0113les? Iesp\u0113jams, jau tre\u0161o reizi \u0161osezon b\u016bs iesp\u0113ja izc\u012bn\u012bt titulu izbraukuma sp\u0113l\u0113. Ar\u012b fani alla\u017e naski brauc uz izbraukuma ma\u010diem.
Es zinu, ka m\u016bsu fani ar\u012b izbraukum\u0101 ir lieliski. Sal\u012bdzino\u0161i ar cit\u0101m komand\u0101m Latvij\u0101 m\u016bsu fani ar\u012b izbraukuma sp\u0113l\u0113s alla\u017e ir biju\u0161i kl\u0101t.

Esmu p\u0101rliecin\u0101ts, ka vi\u0146i sp\u0113l\u0113s ar lielu p\u0101rliec\u012bbu. Vi\u0146iem nav ko zaud\u0113t, t\u0101d\u0113\u013c var sp\u0113l\u0113t br\u012bvi. Mums ir j\u0101b\u016bt tam gataviem.<\/p>\n
Ir izskan\u0113jis, ka pirms iera\u0161an\u0101s Valmier\u0101 esi apsv\u0113ris karjeras nosl\u0113g\u0161anu. Kop\u0161 iera\u0161an\u0101s \u0161eit jau sav\u0101 tre\u0161aj\u0101 sp\u0113l\u0113 izc\u012bn\u012bji Latvijas kausu. Nedaudz v\u0113l\u0101k n\u0101ca ar\u012b Latvijas – Iguanians l\u012bgas tituls. Tagad palikusi vairs tikai viena uzvara l\u012bdz Latvijas \u010dempiontitulam. Ko \u0161is laiks Valmier\u0101 tev ir noz\u012bm\u0113jis?
Tas ir bijis patiesi \u012bpa\u0161i. Cilv\u0113ki, kuri zina manu st\u0101stu, saprot. Esmu nosp\u0113l\u0113jis asto\u0146us gadus It\u0101lij\u0101. Run\u0101ju it\u0101liski. Mans a\u0123ents ir it\u0101lis. T\u0101s ir manas m\u0101jas. Tur ar\u012b grib\u0113ju sp\u0113l\u0113t un nosl\u0113gt savu karjeru. Pirms div\u0101m vasar\u0101m agri parakst\u012bju l\u012bgumu. Tas nebija veiksm\u012bgs g\u0101jiens. Nol\u0113mu, ka iepriek\u0161\u0113j\u0101 vasar\u0101 dar\u012b\u0161u pret\u0113ji un b\u016b\u0161u paciet\u012bgs. Bija daudz zvanu un intereses. Ta\u010du t\u0101 k\u0101 biju bez kluba, daudzi kaut k\u0101da iemesla d\u0113\u013c bija skeptiski un nev\u0113l\u0113j\u0101s mani parakst\u012bt. Non\u0101c\u0101m l\u012bdz punktam, kad febru\u0101r\u012b pateicu a\u0123entam, ka l\u012bdz m\u0113ne\u0161a beig\u0101m kaut kas ir j\u0101atrod. Tobr\u012bd biju 33 gadus vecs. Es nevaru izlaist pilnu gadu un nesp\u0113l\u0113t. Paldies sievai un a\u0123entam, kur\u0161 atrada \u0161o iesp\u0113ju. Cerams, ka \u0161\u012b sezona pagarin\u0101s manu karjeru. J\u0101, es dom\u0101ju par pension\u0113\u0161anos, bet nevis t\u0101d\u0113\u013c, ka grib\u0113ju beigt sp\u0113l\u0113t. Es j\u016btos pietiekami labi, un man v\u0113l ir iek\u0161\u0101. Finansi\u0101li un citu apst\u0101k\u013cu d\u0113\u013c neb\u016btu bijis labi pilnu gadu nesp\u0113l\u0113t. Tas bija riskanti, bet beig\u0101s kaut ko atrad\u0101m. Nevar\u0113ju sap\u0146ot par lab\u0101ku izn\u0101kumu. \u0122imen\u0113 apspried\u012bsimies par to visu tad, kad sezona b\u016bs beigusies. \u0160is tie\u0161\u0101m ir bijis lieliski – uzvar\u0113t Latvijas kausu, uzvar\u0113t Latvijas – Igaunijas \u010dempion\u0101tu… Kop\u0161 esmu ieradies \u0161eit, esam to vien dar\u012bju\u0161i k\u0101 uzvar\u0113ju\u0161i. Vajag v\u0113l tikai vienu, lai sakr\u0101tu visus tr\u012bs.<\/p>\n
Neesmu izsekojis l\u012bdzi visiem taviem karjeras l\u012bklo\u010diem, bet vai \u0161ie ir pirmie tituli? Zin\u0101m, ka ir sp\u0113l\u0113t\u0101ji, kuri Eirop\u0101 pavada daudzus gadus, bet t\u0101 ar\u012b l\u012bdz \u010dempiontitula svin\u0113\u0161anas priekam t\u0101 ar\u012b nenon\u0101k.
J\u0101, uzvar\u0113ju It\u0101lijas kausu un It\u0101lijas \u010dempion\u0101tu [A2 s\u0113rij\u0101 ar “Vanoli Cremona”] 2023. gad\u0101. Tas ir viss. Tagad atbraucu \u0161eit un jau izc\u012bn\u012bju divus titulus. Tagad m\u0113\u0123inu tikt pie piekt\u0101. Mums v\u0113l priek\u0161\u0101 ir daudz darba, lai to pan\u0101ktu. Tas ir bijis \u013coti \u012bpa\u0161i, b\u016bt \u0161eit. Nezinu, ko nes\u012bs n\u0101kotne, bet Valmiera ir bijusi lieliska vieta manai \u0123imenei. Atbalst\u012bt\u0101ji ir biju\u0161i lieliski. Nevaru pietiekami pateikties par to.<\/p>\n
Braucot \u0161eit ar lielu \u0123imeni – tr\u012bs b\u0113rni -, kas ir biju\u0161as galven\u0101s lietas, pie kur\u0101m ir bijis j\u0101piel\u0101goj\u0101s? Un kas ir biju\u0161i varb\u016bt pat\u012bkami p\u0101rsteigumi?
Zini, cilv\u0113ki varb\u016bt padom\u0101s, ka esam d\u012bvaini. M\u0113s m\u012blam eiropie\u0161u dz\u012bvesstilu. Jau teicu, ka pavad\u012bju asto\u0146us gadus It\u0101lij\u0101 ar savu \u0123imeni. M\u0113s pierad\u0101m pie dz\u012bves stila It\u0101lij\u0101, kur temps ir daudz l\u0113n\u0101ks. Tu vari nesteidz\u012bgi izbaud\u012bt dz\u012bvi. Kad izk\u0101pu no lidma\u0161\u012bnas un ierados Latvij\u0101, tas nebija glu\u017ei t\u0101pat k\u0101 It\u0101lij\u0101, bet uzreiz sajutu atmosf\u0113ru \u0161eit. Teicu sievai, ka viss b\u016bs lieliski. \u0160eit ir tas eiropejiskais vaibs. Viss notiek nesteidz\u012bgi, un vari izbaud\u012bt dz\u012bvi. Tas ir tas, ko m\u0113s v\u0113lamies priek\u0161 savas \u0123imenes. Dz\u012bvi Eirop\u0101 m\u0113s izbaud\u0101m daudz vair\u0101k nek\u0101 b\u016bt \u0161tatos. Izbaud\u0101m iesp\u0113ju audzin\u0101t savus b\u0113rnus \u0161eit. Tas ir perfekti.<\/p>\n
