Andrei Martyuk: “We should have reacted better to Zenit’s defense”

The Lokomotiv Kuban center answered journalists’ questions after the loss to Zenit (79:106).
What can you say about the result?
Zenit, hmm, surprised us.
Surprised with what?
Some of their defensive options were surprising. We should have reacted to that better. We'll try to play better in the next match.
Did the fact that you missed the 4th match of the series with Uralmash hinder you or, on the contrary, give you the opportunity to rest?
I lost my rhythm a little bit, but that shouldn't be an excuse for today's defeat.
And did the fact that Lokomotiv played one match more than the other semi-finalists in the quarter-finals have a significant impact on the team’s preparation?
I don't think so. The defeat from Uralmash in game #2 of the quarterfinals united us, we talked a lot after, improved mutual understanding. I hope that after today's game we will also become stronger.
