Ігор Клімов: "Радий, що вийшло дебютувати в Єврокубку, набрати перше очко"

A player of BC “Prometey” Ihor Klimov debuted on Wednesday in the EuroCup and on the next day joined the younger teammates to participate in the European Youth basketball league. In this way, Ihor not only took part in four matches in two days but also celebrated four wins in two days.


-Ihor, this one is your fourth game and fourth victory within two days, including your debut in the EuroCup. What are your feelings? What are your emotions?


-Emotions are positive. I am happy to debut in the EuroCup, score the first point. While shooting the second free-throw I overstepped the line but it’s OK, the team won. Regarding EYBL, we had difficult matches, the guys haven’t been playing for a long time, I also have not much game practice. I am adjusting back into the team; I did not play with them for two months. I guess, we will catch up soon as tomorrow we will play next two games, then more. I think we will gain our pace.


-You have already played three games in the EYBL. From outside perspective, it seems you won quite easily. What can you say? As for your feelings, was it as confidently as it seems to us? Which of the games was the harder one?


-We have some kind of misunderstandings because, as the coach said, we did not have game practice. We are gaining our pace. We will show ourselves up.


-You pace victoriously. What goals, what tasks do you have for the entire tournament?


-We have to win in all matches, make marge in points as big as possible, as it can manifest itself at the next stage, in the play-off. We are set a goal to win and we are winning.
