By this meeting, the opponents came to different poles of the standings. Permians with two wins in two matches occupied second place. But the guests, having lost all 4 meetings, were in the last 13 places. Still, post-quarantine basketball for both clubs did not guarantee the nominal favorite in the face of “PARMA” an easy walk.
The teams were pretty hard to get into the game. The knitting positional basketball was more convenient for the guests. While the Permians were looking for their long-range shot, the Siberians took the lead in the match with the efforts of Mikhail Kulagin. At some point, the Krasnoyarsk team’s advantage reached 9 points – 16:7. But here the hosts have finally stepped up. A successful game from the bench by Konstantin Bulanov and Robert Johnson and a zoned defense by the end of the first quarter helped PARME slightly reduce the gap – 15:20.
At the start of the second 10 minutes, it seemed that the Urals were able to seize the initiative. Inspired by Vladimir Ivlev, they broke ahead in the score – 29:27. The rest of the quarter was held in the competition of PARMA snipers against the players going under the ring “Yenisei”. The Krasnoyarsk people were more successful in this fight. The Siberians dominated the rebound and scored many more points from the paint. This allowed the visitors to regain the lead before the big break – 44:39.
Key moment
For most of the third quarter, the teams exchanged punches. But at the junction of the third and fourth 10-minute guests managed a 9-point spurt. Against the background of low performance, the double-digit lead in the score looked like a significant bid for the final victory of the Siberians – 67:54.
To save the Permians resorted to the usual method – long throws. But unlike in the second quarter this time the “three” of the hosts did not “fly.” But there was a game for the Krasnoyarsk people. They dominated the shields, looked fresh, and Mikhail Kulagin simply “killed” the opponent with his accurate throws. As a result, Enisey’s first victory of the season was more than convincing.
