Chimki from the Moscow region, who played in the guest arena, lost by 39 points – 60:99. This is a new club record, the worst previous result being recorded 12 years ago, when Chimki from Panathinaikos in Athens fell 35 points.
12 consecutive defeats, a repeat of the modern Euroleague anti-record, which has been counting since 2016.
Rimas Kurtinaitis, which did not include Janis Timma, Jonas Jerebkas and Grego Monroe, put a finger on the energy of the students after the loss in Istanbul and a poor fight for rebounds, which Anadolu Efes won 41:26.
“I want to congratulate Anadolu Efes for a great job. They played incredible tonight and we were too slow. We showed twice as much energy as our rivals. In such a short time, we have not been able to solve the problems, especially the fight for the balls. It was the biggest problem in tonight’s game. We knocked down 15 fewer balls than our opponents. These are the reasons why we lost, “said Rimas Kurtinaitis.
At that time, Anadolu Efes helmsman Ergin Ataman emphasized the selfless attack and defense against Alexei Swede, who finished the match with 13 points (3/5 double, 2/7 trit., 1/2 penalty), bounced 2 balls , scored 2 effective passes, made 5 errors and scored 5 utility points.
“We play good basketball,” said A. Atamanas. – Of course, Chimki has problems with the defense. But we moved the ball well, the players were well placed in two-on-two situations, we found free people and we made extra passes. We had a good chance to attack the basket, we played impressively in attack, but the main key to the victory was defense. Merit travels to Dogh Balbay. Alexei Švedas started the match well, but then Dogušas excluded him from the game, and when A. Švedas is stopped, Chimki has big problems. Then we found easy paths to the opponents’ basket, and in the fourth quarter we let young players onto the field. “
After this victory, Anadolu Efes climbed to eighth place (11-9) and Chimki ended up breaking the tail with 2 wins and 18 losses.
Next week, Chimki will travel to Athens to meet Oded Kattasho’s Panathinaikos, while Anadolu Efes awaits a trip to St. Petersburg.
