After three halves, Chimki had a four-point lead, but in the fourth, Zenit sped up 16-0 and the Masquerade team collapsed.

Up to seven players had experienced microtrauma and didn’t train for 10 days. preparation for the season, we did not play a single complete game, we had to include five young basketball players from the second team. As a result, we lacked stamina, “complained the coach after the game.
Even four defenders did not help Chimki in this match. Stefan Jovičius injured his ankle, Alexei Švedas injured his tendon, Yegor Vialcev injured his Achilles tendon and Errick McCollum has yet to arrive in Russia.
“The worst situation is with S. Jovičius, who has torn the ligaments in his ankle. According to the doctors, he will not play for a month and a half or two months,” said R. Kurtinaitis sadly.
