Trent Frazier: "We did a great job in the last two minutes"
— We did a good job today, we fought. We knew that Loko would not give away the victory just like that. We played well in the last quarter, we got into decisive moments — Toropov, Volkhin, Carlton had good minutes, Josh made a block shot. I think everyone played well today, and we just "closed" this match. The score is 2-0, we are going to the exit and we know that this will be another battle. We are ready to fight for 40 minutes and play to win.
— When the difference was one possession in the end, how much pressure did you feel on yourself?
— I didn't feel it. We knew that they would foul, and my task was to stall for time and break through to the ring, because we were leading "+3". I think it worked out, even though I didn't score. Vince then made an important block shot, and it helped us win. But there was no pressure at the end, we got used to these moments throughout the season because we played a lot of similar games. Overall, I think we did a great job in the last two minutes.
— Loko didn't have two players today. Did Zenit have to rebuild?
— No, I think they're still the same team. Yes, she lost players, but the young guys played great. We knew that they would come out and do everything to win and be motivated. It may even be more difficult, because they are really charged. Loko played great for the whole 40 minutes and forced us out of our comfort zone, I hope in the future we will act the same way in the endings as we did today. But it was very difficult for us today.
