Andrey Martiuk: “We lost it several times due to lapses in defensive concentration”

Zenit center Andrey Martiuk answered media questions following the WINLINE Basket Cup semifinal loss to CSKA (74:88).

— Share your thoughts on the game. It was close for three quarters, but you faced difficulties in the fourth.

— In the first half we had a slight edge, but we lost it several times due to lapses in defensive concentration.

— What do you think caused that?

— At times we rushed our decisions, at times we didn’t make the right pass, and in some moments we simply overplayed ourselves.

— What can you say about your offense? It seems different from before — around 70 points lately, while it used to be higher.

— We need to analyze our games.
