“After the break we made conclusions, we had to play a small part, because we have again problems with rotation: no 3rd and 4th rooms, (Dee Jay) Stevens injured (Paul) Spiridonov injured, we get a game only 3 large. But Andrew foremen still not ready to play against Khimki. And again against Khimki need to play aggressive defense that it is quite difficult,” said Karasev journalists.
“And (Evgeni) Valiev has received 3 fouls early in the game, had to play big, to connect Desyatnikov. Found option 4 small. With the shift, rotation, and at once, the game came alive. Ran in rapid separation, calmed down, I felt the game played very well,” said Karasev.
