Ural-Great Perm player Vanja Plisnic:
"We've prepared seriously for this game. It was very important that we've scored four victories on the road. Considering that our next game will be in Perm, on our home court I think that our fans will help us qualify to the Final Four. Regarding the game, it was very tough, but at the decisive moments we paid attention to the ball and made some good shots. I think we'll be better in the second game."
Ural-Great Perm coach Aleksandar Kesar:
"I want to congratulate my players, because we played without some very important players - Bashminov (injury) and Surovtsev (stomach problems). It held us at a disadvantage, but we still led by as many as 11 points in the game. We were not smart at the end of regulation, but we deserved this victory. I'm very happy that we won in Lyubertsy." BC Triumph player Valery Likhodey:
"In my opinion we lacked concentration in this game. We let our rivals to shoot, and they succeeded in that department. It was very hard to stop them, and only at the end of the game we tied the score and took the game to OT. But we made some mistakes in defense and lost by two points. We hope to show our best game on the road. We have to win in Perm." BC Triumph coach Stanislav Eremine:
"We failed to stop Vashington - he is the key player of Ural-Great." |
