We asked the Lokomotiv Kuban center to express his feelings about the second victory over Zenit (96:88, OT) and the fact that he was once again recognized as the Best Young Player of the VTB United League.
- How can you describe Game #4?
- It's hard to find the words. The game was interesting and tough. The most important thing is that we won. I'm sure this will give us even more energy in the upcoming games of the series. We're heading to St. Petersburg with the mood to keep winning!
- What helped you turn the tide of the game?
- Our dedication and, of course, our defense played a key role. In some moments in the first half, we did not play as tough as we should. At the big break, we were motivated with the right words, so we came out 100% charged to take the victory.
- Were you nervous before overtime?
- It was a bit angry that we didn't win in regular time. But inside there was still a feeling that victory would be ours.
- Are you happy that you were named the League's Young Player of the Year for the second year in a row?
- It's hard to describe my feelings after such a crazy game. The main thing for me is that we won. But, of course, receiving such an award is very valuable. It is the result of my work, and also, of the club, the team, my family and the fans. I thank everyone who was involved in this.
