– Good game. The younger guys fought and tried, but age played a role, so we won. I feel like we have more confidence and experience. Maybe someone from the opposing team is only spending their first season in the MHL. Experience and confidence therefore played the main roles. We implement the same thing for every tournament, 3×3 is no exception. I challenged myself to be the best. Does it work? “Every time,” Osipov told .
