The VTB United Youth League, like its “big brother,” publishes a Top 10 list of highlights—only once a month, not every week. The October ranking was the first of the current season—and featured two highlights from players of our youth team, ORSS-Lokomotiv-Kuban, at the very top of the chart!
Third place is awarded to Dinar Almyashev‘s poster dunk in the 2nd game (in this tournament, the teams play each other back-to-back two days in a row) against Astana-Zhastar.
And on the top of the chart is a block by our youth team captain Lev Yakovlev against Ivan Karpenko of the current league champion, MBA-MAI-Junior, in the 3rd quarter of the 1st game between these teams.
Lev Yakovlev declined to comment on that episode. “We still lost that game, so I don’t feel right to brag about it”, said the player.
Our youth team currently sits in 6th place in the league with a 7-5 win-loss record. On November 10th and 11th, the team plays home games against Nizhny Novgorod-Meshchersky. Come to the our Youth training center to support ORSOR-Loko! It’s free, but you must register.
