Lokomotiv Kuban center became the best scorer of the game against MBA-MAI (96:86) – 22 points, as well as 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.
- In the previous game, you scored 3 three-pointers, today – 4. What do teammates say about that?
- Nothing. Except for Patrick [Miller]. He says "If I give you a pass – shoot, don't hesitate".
- You were very emotional after several shots. Does basketball make you smile?
- Of course. I think basketball makes everyone smile – the players, the fans. The game tomorrow was interesting , I suppose. We scored 96 points today, the opponent – 86; 25 three-pointers... We did it cool.
- Did you play beautifully on purpose?
- I was enjoying the process. When we enjoy playing, we always do well.
- Why did Lokomotiv's performance declined after a bright start today?
- Why do you say "declined"? We tried to create a big lead in the score from the very beginning, so as not to let MBA-MAI feel their game. And when we made "+20", we calmly controlled it from there.
- What to expect from the final game of the regular season against Uralmash?
- I can't tell for the opponent. I think we'll give our 100%. Maybe we'll try to play something new, but that's a question for the coaches, not me.
- Are you glad that Kirill Yelatontsev is back?
- For sure! It's super when there's someone with whom you're interchangeable. And I'm just glad for him.
