We are already working on certain combinations and interactions and, in general, on team chemistry. Everything is therefore very positive.

– He is a very demanding coach on absolutely all the nuances and subtleties of basketball. It is clear that it is very important for him that we understand him correctly and that he conveys his idea to us, and we have already conveyed it to the basketball court. For me, it’s already somewhere easier, because it’s not the first time I’ve worked with him. Well, in general, of course, now we are developing cooperation so that when international competitions open, we are fully prepared for them.

If I understand correctly, they also have a young racing team. To be honest, I haven’t seen Belarusian national team matches either live or on TV. Because they are also limited now… In general, it will be interesting to watch and play them. I am very happy that there is an opportunity to organize friendly matches,” Shcherbenev told a correspondent.
