Lokomotiv-Kuban in the VTB United League match with UNICS defended firmly, which allowed the “red-greens” to completely control the match, the Krasnodar defender told Vladislav Yemchenko .
On Sunday, Lokomotiv-Kuban defeated UNICS (78:71) in a VTB United League home match. Krasnodar has won eight wins in eight matches and is at the top of the standings.
— We controlled the game in the match against UNICS, and it showed. Yes, the difference on the scoreboard is only seven points. It’s just that in the last three minutes we relaxed and lost our concentration, because we were winning by almost 20 points. UNICS was therefore able to reduce the gap.
Did UNICS surprise you? No. Of course, they didn’t have their best game today. But it is also our merit. In the sense that we defended firmly and forced the opponent not to complete combinations and make difficult throws. So their percentage was not that high. In other words, we did not give them freedom in this regard. Also, we did a lot of things offensively. A lot of guys made their shots, we moved the ball.
— You scored spectacular goals while missing several free throws. Psychological moment?
– There is no psychological moment. That’s basketball: sometimes you score, sometimes you miss. Therefore, every day you train to score as many goals as possible and as few misses as possible,” Yemchenko told .
