Forward UMMC Anastasia Chilova who spoke at the All-Russian Spartakiad for the Sverdlovsk region, in an interview with , she analyzed the reasons for the defeat in the final.
In the decisive match of the Spartakiad, the team from the Sverdlovsk region was defeated by the team from Moscow (54:74).
– A kind of “physics” was missing. Also, in the first half, they probably thought they had already won this final. But nothing, the season has only just begun, we will show everyone.
“Will you ever be able to use this money?”
– In any case, the medal is very good. But riding at the very beginning of the season is really difficult. We have a completely new team, we’re not played so well, we still don’t feel one hundred percent for each other. Masha Vadeeva missed training due to illness or injury. Ksyusha Levchenko was also ill. It was very difficult to get through the pre-season. But that’s only the beginning. Our mood is fighting, there is no such devastation as after losing in the final of the Russian championship. On the contrary, it’s a good lesson, we have a lot to work on this season.
– Is the teamwork of the IBA, which represented the Moscow team, one of the factors of its victory?
– Accept. Although they also added new girls, they somehow fit in really well. Yet we still see a lack of teamwork.
– Tell me frankly: during pre-match scouting, Maria Krymova did not receive enough attention? The young point guard scored 23 points.
Why? We understand everyone. And we already know Masha. It improves every year. I think this is the future of Russian basketball. Although after this final – probably already real.
The Spartakiad women’s basketball tournament ended on Monday in Krylatskoye. Moscow became the champion (as well as in the male category), Sverdlovsk region won silver, Kursk region won bronze.
