Today was atypical basketball atmosphere in Russia. The way fans supported us today, has helped us to improve the game during the game, when it was especially hard.
The “Barcelona” a lot of quality players. They covered the difference and took the lead at five “when we were 11. And once again we were able to show their character – helped everyone, including Chris Singleton.
I think we deserve access to the “Final Four”. It was very difficult to recover after losing two games in a row. To be honest, the win today was really easier than in the fourth game.
I try never to talk about myself, but still I would like to dedicate this great historic victory for his father’s memory, – said the Greek specialist.
The Russian defender of “Lokomotiv-Kuban” Evgeny Voronov, in turn, also spoke about the hype surrounding the match with “Barcelona”, and appreciated the future prospects of the team in the main European Cup.
– Probably no one of us expected output in the “Final Four” Euroleague. I think our team will be the dark horse, and “Lokomotiv-Kuban” will not have a certain amount of pressure.
We’re going to Berlin without stress. Our team has done, and so a lot of this year in the Euroleague. But this does not mean that we will go to the German capital as a tourist destination. I hope that the Cinderella story for the “Locomotive” is not over.
The fifth series of different match with “Barcelona” from the previous games? The last meeting came to the fore attitude. Also, it was necessary not to give the opponent no easy goals, to win other people’s balls, in some moments they struggle to impose even a rigidity, cost foul. I think we got it.
«Basket-hall” in Krasnodar – definitely the best room on the atmosphere in Russia. I think everyone was convinced of this. As I understand it, in ten hours already sold out all the tickets. I’m ahead of the game all literally tore the words “Give the ticket.” But even I could not take advantage of their privileged position. Our entry into the “Final Four” – the great merit of fans – basketball player said.
Also I could not get past the defender of American journalists Krasnodar club Matt Jenning. According basketball, foreign and domestic players are the club a whole, which helped defeat the Spanish giants. <-! place 8191361, /> sport / 2016/04/22 / a_8191361.shtml, article / incut, incut2_link ->
– Of course, I could not imagine before the start of the season that will play in the “Final four” Euroleague. My story is very special at all. After moving to Krasnodar, I realized that there is a very special basketball culture – the culture of winners
The coach is strict and meticulous and disciplined basketball.. At the same time, foreigners and Russians work together to achieve their goals. All are one. We deserved this victory, having won in the hardest series “Barcelona – Jenning said.

– It was a match in which enough of ups and downs. We did manage to jerk. “Barcelona”, in turn, answered their attacks. In the end, all agreed to our cool game in their half in the final quarter. As for me, I think I did anything special. I’m just throwing, as usual, but the ball all blew and blew into the basket.
From the first days of stay in the team doctor began to call me Old Man Hottabych. I do not mind if everything is working. After all, if we got to the “Final Four”, it works, is not it? Of course, I was told about the nature of the work. There was an old man, whose name was Hottabych. He was constantly fiddling with his beard and worked magic.
Should be enough magic in the “Final Four”? Hopefully. In Berlin, everything will again depend on how we play in protecting »,
– summed Singleton.
