striker Russia Semen Antonov after winning the qualification match of Eurobasket 2015 with the Italian team (72:68) noted that the team has laid out a hundred percent. According to him, you need to let go of all the unpleasant thoughts, as a ticket for the European Championship still managed to get.
– We knew that the game against the Italians get complicated – leads the official website of the RSE words Antonov. – At the same time we were able to not lose concentration and beat all 40 minutes, completing the coaching setup. I would especially like to mention the game our captain Anton Ponkrashova that at crucial moments he took the initiative: scoring, gave transmission defended.
I would like to thank those who believed in us from the first minute of the first match. Of course, after the first two losses were not just – I had to learn a lot about yourself and read. Many of us do not have to hope. Granted, we are somewhere created problems for yourself. But now all these thoughts should be thrown out. We won and went to the European Championships.
We failed the first three quarters of the first game, and then, it is clear I think, began to gain from quarter to quarter. There is understanding each other, went to the peak of physical fitness. Last matches were significantly different from the first two.
Maybe to the nerve endings in the match against Italy and it would not come, getting us all their penalties. But this pressure, a full house, and in the protection of all were laid on the full. Once again, all this is not important. Our goal fulfilled.
