BC "Prometey" - BC "Cherkaski Mavpy". February 13. 13:00. Windrose Superleague. 17 tour. Slobozhanske. SC Slobozhansky. Broadcast - Obozrevatel, fbu.ua
With the home match against "Cherkaski Mavpy", the sole leader of the Windrose Super League "Prometey" resumes their performances in the championship. Our team played the last match in the championship more than three weeks ago, when they confidently beat the local "Khimik" in Yuzhny. After that, for a number of reasons, several matches with the participation of Ronen Ginzburg's team were postponed. That is why Prometey has played fewer games in the championship - only 24, so far.
At the same time, the largest number of matches in the championship played the closest rival of the national champion - 30. In addition, "Cherkaski Mavpy" come to Slobozhanske in a great mood, having in their assets the current winning streak of three matches. This allowed Maxim Michelson's team to get involved in the fight for a place in the playoffs. This tournament jerk of the Cherkasy club began with a home victory over "Odessa" (82:78), continued with another success at home - this time in the confrontation with "Khimik" (80:78), and yesterday, in an away match, "Cherkaski Mavpy" beat "Zaporizhzhia" (86:82).
In the Zaporizhzhia confrontation "Mavpy" showed just a phenomenal percentage of hits from the perimeter - 73 (11 successful shots out of 15). At the same time, Ivan Tkachenko successfully hit the opponent's ring from afar 7 times out of 8. Ivan, who has 25 points in total, managed to get close to the Superleague record of previous years: Andriy Myronenko, a former player of "Zaporizhzhia", in a match with "Mavpy" showed 100% realization of 9 long throws.
Ivan Tkachenko was duly supported by his partners in yesterday's match. Henry Dugat was even close to a triple-double (19 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists); in Isaac Hamilton's assets were 15 points and 7 rebounds, and the former player of "Prometey", Sergiy Priymak in the decisive minutes of the final quarter stood out for several successful actions.
It seems that the Cherkaski Mavpy have finally begun to fulfil their considerable potential. The team's game was not affected by the departure home of class bigman Duvon Maxwell. Gradually, the necessary team "chemistry" began to take shape, but in Slobozhansky the "Monkeys" are facing a real challenge. "Prometey" is probably not going to interrupt their 24-match winning superseries in the championship, and after the super-difficult matches of the Champions League with "Unicaja" and "Oostende", the "red and whites" will undoubtedly start to improve the necessary conditions step by step. The upcoming fight with the Monkeys is a great opportunity for that.
It will be possible to follow its progress through a broadcast on Obozrevatel TV channel and the official website of the Basketball Federation of Ukraine on February 13 starting at 13:00. To buy tickets for the game, you need to use the "Online Tickets section on our club website: prometeybc.com
