The Lokomotiv Kuban center commented on the defeat to Uralmash (79:81).
- What is the main reason of this loss, at your opinion?
- We played poorly in the post, committed a lot of fouls and missed too much free throws. In addition, we did not score a single 3-pointer in the second half. In the 4th quarter, we were able to equalise the score, but in the very end the luck wasn't on our side.
- Why did Uralmash overcome Loko in the post so much?
- It's hard to say. There were moments when we were unlucky and the ball flew into the opponents' hands; sometimes we relaxed and gave up the rebound ourselves. I think we were not ready for such pressure from Uralmash. This led to the defeat.
- What should you do to win?
- Today we lacked confidence throughout the game. Yes, we started the 4th quarter well, but before that we were really down. It is always hard to persuade, especially against an opponent like Uralmash who never gives up. To win, we need to play more consistently for the entire 40 minutes.
