Andrei Martyuk: “We managed to pull ourselves together in time”

In the game against Pari NN (95:72), the Loko center scored 10 points, made 7 rebounds, and became the best in the team in terms of plus/minus (+25).
What helped you win?
A well-coordinated team defense. It is always very difficult to play in Nizhny Novgorod, they always act very aggressively, even when they are losing by 15-20 points. Today we were able to cope with their pressure, came back from slumps and held the advantage.
What was the crucial moment?
Beginning of the 3rd quarter. There were moments when we could have given in to emotions, picked up fouls. But we managed to pull ourselves together in time. The guys fought to the end. The coaching staff, the medical staff – everyone did their best.
What's the secret in getting 9 wins in a row?
There are many secrets. Everything fits together like a puzzle. Honestly, there was not a single match in these 9 that I would call easy. Each victory was hard-earned. But we are determined to continue our streak.
