When we arrived in Khachmaz, we knew exactly which team we were going to play against. Unfortunately, we faced a very strong opponent and encountered some difficulties.
Idman.biz reports that this was done by "Jalilabad". said Shahriyar Asgarov, head coach of the basketball club.
During the eighth round of the Azerbaijan Basketball League, he commented on their 93-108 loss against NTD-INDIGO. Asgarov said that the presence of injured players is one of the main factors affecting the defeat: "The injury of Rashon Johnson, one of our leading basketball players, was against us. It is not known whether he will be ready for the match with "Khirdalan". Moreover, Andrey Kondratyev's injury is having an effect. Jamani Pearce was also suffering from a minor injury. But we had to let him go. The opponent started the match very well. While all of their shots fell into the basket, we, on the contrary, had bad luck. Even before the big break, the advantage of the opponent was noticeable in the rebounds. Thanks to this, there was a big difference in the score. Then we changed the game defensively and were able to close the gap. But we couldn't do more than that. I understand the frustration of our fans. Our team has potential. The season is long, I really want our fans to believe and support us until the end."
It should be noted that "Jalilabad" will challenge "Khirdalan" in the 9th round. The match to be played on December 23 will start at 14:00.
