Dejan Radonjić: "A very big problem was their percentage for three points"
Zenit head coach Dejan Radonjić commented on the road victory over Uralmash (65:82), which allowed his team to take a 2-1 lead in the quarterfinal series of the VTB United League.
— Congrats to my players for the game and for the win of course. Uralmash did a great job in first game, so, we were aware of that we need to do over here. Our beginning was really good — offensively, defensively. But the second 10 minutes defensively it was really bad, we did so many mistakes and a very big problem was their percentage for three points. They had 9/11 in first 20 minutes, and in the end you can see 9/24. Our defensive approach and focus was really great in the second half and we missed a lot of open looks and free throws. In the end it's 2-1 for us, we need to be ready to play one more game like today and to win.
