The Loko guard answered journalists’ questions at a press conference after the game against UNICS (78:71), in which he scored 15 points and delighted the spectators with several very impressive performances.
- How did you manage to beat UNICS so confidently?
- Today we believed that we are the best team in the league – and played like the best team in the league.
- You had a lot of highlights today, both in attack and defense. Which one did you enjoy the most?
- And you?
- When you chased down DeVaughn Akoon-Purcell and prevented him from running off alone to the hoop.
- Exactly! I forgot about that moment. I wanted to name one of my dunks. But now I also think that that chase was the coolest. He was going for an open layup, and then I appeared out of nowhere. So I agree with your choice - such episodes show at best what kind of player I am.
- Did you ever experience the 8-0 start?
- When I was 12, our school team started 27-0. But as a professional, I had nothing even close.
- What should be done to repeat your school achievement?
- Phew… It will be hard to win 27 games in a row. But we will try, of course. Yeah, I don’t mind if we do this.
- What is the secret of such a start?
- The club's office has done a great job of bringing us all together. We complement each other very well, the team chemistry is good, we enjoy being together, training, playing. And we trust each other – I can rely on each teammate. This confidence helps a lot.
- Thanks for your answers.
- Dobroi nochi! ("Good night" in Russian.)
