Lokomotiv-Kuban basketball player Andrey Martyuk on , he said that at the very beginning of the VTB United League All-Star Game, his New School partners did not take into account that they would only receive two points for shots at three points.
The All-Star game was played for the first time in a new format – New School vs. Old School. The New School team was represented by players under 30, and the Old School team was represented by players 30 and older. Each district reflected its era and the rules of that era. The game’s three points didn’t appear until the second quarter, when they played by the rules of the 70s and 80s.

– This is a nickname in the social network.
– We lost in the first quarter, then we played well. For what?
– We have to win. The coach gave instructions, we started to improve.
– How do you like the format?
– Interesting, cool, however, at the start of the game many did not understand that instead of “three rubles” – “copeck coin”. They threw away a three-ruble bill,” Martyuk said on .
The Old School won over the New School with a score of 148:140 (36:32, 43:35, 31:48, 38:25). Malik Dime (PARMA-PARI) became the most productive player of the “Old School” – 30 points.
