Uralmash basketball player Whittaker named the factors that influenced the result of the match with Zenit
Uralmash Yekaterinburg defender Stanley Whittaker told what the team was missing in the VTB United League regular season match with Zenit St. Petersburg.
The meeting took place on Monday in Yekaterinburg and ended with a score of 78:72 in favor of the guests.
“We played well, the fight continued until the end, but in the last two minutes of the match we gave Zenit several offensive rebounds, and then second chance points, from which they capitalized.
We need to be better on the boards despite the size difference, getting the ball under the rim after opponents’ misses and trying to get more possessions. This has become a decisive factor today,” Championship quotes Whittaker.
Zenit, with six wins in eight matches, ranks third in the United League table, Uralmash (3 wins in 8 matches) is in eighth position.
