Antonius Cleveland is no longer with Loko, but this should not cancel the amazing emotions that the player gave our fans throughout the 2024/25 season.
Cleveland is represented twice in the Top 10 crazy shots. In 9th place is his buzzer-beating 3-pointer into the Zenit basket at the end of the 3rd quarter of Game #4 of the semifinal series on May 11. Without this episode, there would have been no overtime, in which Patrick Miller scored a record 14 points and brought Lokomotiv a 96:88 victory.
On the top of the chart is the really mind-blowing episode. On June 2, Cleveland scored two ultra-long 3-pointers within 8 seconds of pure game time, which allowed Game #4 of the bronze series with UNICS to go into extra time (alas, Lokomotiv ultimately lost 96:104).
Любопытно, что, как и в случае двумя предыдущими сезонными рейтингами Единой лиги ВТБ (данки и аллей-упы), в чарте невероятных попаданий вновь есть игрок, который перешёл в «Локомотив» уже после окончания чемпионата – на сей раз это центровой Илья Попов и его точный бросок в кольцо «Зенита» 6 апреля.
Fun fact is that as well as in the case of some previous seasonal ratings of the VTB United League (dunks and alley-oops), the chart of incredible shots again includes a player who moved to Lokomotiv recently – this time it is center Ilya Popov and his sitting shot into the Zenit basket on April 6.
