The Lokomotiv Kuban guard became the best scorer (20 points) in the winning game against Uralmash (112:68).
- You did not give Uralmash a chance today!..
- We have a goal and will do everything to achieve it. Before the game, we talked a lot with the team and really got ready.
- It seemed like the level of contact was even higher than in the first two games. Was that really the case?
- Yes, but I think it's okay. It's a kind of strength test. Hard contact will prepare us to play even better in the next games.
- You've made a decent lead by the big break already. How?
- Due to defense and rebounds. If we play these aspects as well as we can, we always have a good chance to win. Of course, offense is important, but in the playoffs, defense is key.
- Today you played one of your best games for Loko. How would you rate your performance?
- Well, maybe a humble 10/10 will be enough (laughs). But seriously, it doesn't matter how I played, the main thing is the victory. I just try to do what I can. Today my points helped the team, tomorrow someone else will score them. Victory is the only thing that matters.
- Loko is one step away from the semi-finals. What will be decisive in the next game?
- It will be a tough game. The first thing we need to do now is to recover and get fully prepared. The opponent will definitely play tough, especially in front of their fans. Game #4 will be a battle, so we must be mentally prepared for it and not relax under any circumstances.
