Niko-Basket coach: “We had to look for foreign players”

Coach of Niko-Basket Valentin Berestnev He said the following about the transfer of American defender Jamir Moultrie:

“We had no experience. We do not have basketball players with Ukrainian passports to strengthen their strength. We had to look for a foreign player, in this case an American. This is a very difficult situation because half of the season has already passed. Everyone who is interested has already subscribed.

We took the risk and signed. We watched it during warm-up today. The first impression is quite positive. He is an extremely positive man, he serves the ball to the players and wants to join the team immediately, he does not distance himself from the team. We hope it will strengthen us. “With his experience, he will be the right player to help us win tough matches.”

Niko-Basket currently ranks eighth in the Super League with 5 wins in 17 matches.

Len talked about the difference between playing in the NBA and the Spanish Championship

Real Madrid’s Ukrainian headquarters Alexey Len He talked about the main differences between playing in the NBA and playing in the Spanish Championship:

“I had some difficulties when I first arrived and I still have some catching up to do in the Euroleague. But the season is long, I work on myself every day, I try to play better every day and I try to help the team win more games.”

When I came here I realized this; I really like ACB matches because each team plays in its own style. There are teams that work hard in the post, while others shoot too many threes. In the NBA, everything is essentially about pick-and-rolls and three-point shots. And in ACB you never know who you will face and in what style this or that team will play. This difference makes the matches fun to watch and play. You should always be prepared because a completely different game style may be waiting for you. That’s why it’s so beautiful.”

Len, who played 17 matches for Real Madrid this season, played an average of 8.6 minutes on the field and recorded 3.9 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.9 blocks during this time.

Len previously said whether he follows the performances of the Ukrainian national team and whether there is a chance of returning to the national team.
