The Lokomotiv Kuban forward made a decent contribution to the victory over UNICS (107:80), scoring 10 points in 16.5 minutes on the court.
- Congrats on the win, Kirill!
- Thank you very much for the congratulations! I think, the entire Basket Hall deserves to be congratulated—our fans came out on their day off; the support today was incredibly loud. It’s clear that we all prepared well for UNICS. From the very first minutes, we started putting pressure on them—doing exactly what the coach had told us to do during our game prep. The result speaks for itself.
- When you have a big lead by the 3rd quarter, there’s a risk of relaxing. What helped you avoid that?
- During the long break, the coaching staff highlighted exactly this thing—that we absolutely must not relax. Luckily, we completed this task successfully: we listened to the coach and did not relax.
- There’s another game against UNICS in two weeks; do you think they will be especially angry after today’s loss?
- I believe that every defeat gives the motivation to "return the favour". But we, for our part, will also be focused solely on victory. We always aim to win every upcoming game. So right now, we’re starting to think about PARMA; that will be an important and interesting match as well. I trust that many fans will come out again, and with their support, we’ll achieve the result we need. Lokofamily, I keep telling that you’re the best! Thank you for cheering for us!
