Daniil Sheyanov: “I think I did well”

For the captain of our reserve team, the game against Yenisei (97:80) was the first official one for the main team since the 2021/22 season. In 12 minutes on the court today, Sheyanov scored 5 points, made 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block.
Were you thrilled today?
Yes, at the warm-up I was nervous. But when I went out on the court, I became calm. My main task from the coaching staff was aggressive defense and, first of all, rebounding. I think I did well. At least, I tried as best I could.
How hard was it to switch from what you do at the reserve team?
The guys from ORSS-Loko and I joined the main team after the cup game in Yekaterinburg. It was very tough mentally after such a devastating defeat, so it took a lot of effort to pull ourselves together.
In the game against Yenisei, the 3rd quarter was much less productive than the rest. Why?
Yeah, we sagged a bit in the 3rd quarter. But Yenisei was also tired. Both teams made a fair number of mistakes, and that's what allowed us to maintain our lead in the score.
