Kirill Yelatontsev: “I feel fine”

Against MBA-MAI (96:86), the center of Lokomotiv Kuban played his first game after a month of absence, scored 4 points, made 3 assists and 2 rebounds.
The main question is how is your health?
Everything is great, I feel fine. Honestly, I thought it would be hard, but this time I managed to get into the game faster than after previous injuries.
Why there were so different halves against MBA-MAI?
We tried to make a big advantage in the first half. Then we tried to play reliably, and I think we succeeded in that.
The opponent won all quarters except the first. Did the quick advantage make you relax?
I wouldn't say so. When you score a lot in one quarter, sometimes the percentage drops a little then. Also, the opponent can't shoot with low conversion the whole game.
On Sunday you will face Uralmash, with whom you will later play the quarterfinal series...
Yes, we consider Sunday's game as preparation for the playoffs. This is a great opportunity to feel the opponent once again, to work on interactions in defense and attack. We are 100% focused.
