Philmon Gebrewhit, the American basketball player of Lankaran, gave an interview to the club’s press service.
According to Idman.biz, he evaluated the team’s performance as well as his own and shared his thoughts about Azerbaijan.
- You secured your first win against Sumgayit. How has this victory affected the team’s atmosphere?
- Feels good getting our first team win I feel like it gave us great confidence to show everyone we belong being a first-year club.
- You were the team’s second-highest scorer in the game against Sumgayit. After two games, are you satisfied with your performance so far?
- It’s a very long season I try to not let a good or bad game affect my mood honestly we have to sustain good habits for us to continue winning.
- You have an interesting style when taking free throws. You walk up to the center line before returning to the free-throw line. Is this a ritual for you, and what does it mean?
- I’ve been doing that since I was young one of my mentors growing up taught me that method, it gives me a chance to get a clear mind and breath and focus on making the free throws.
- How has living in Lankaran been? What do you enjoy the most, and do you feel settled in?
- Lankaran is a place where you can really focus on the game of basketball there aren’t distractions around you that’s what I love the most. The locals around are very welcoming and friendly whether it is taking pictures or just simple conversations. I have also got a favorite food out here now called a doner best thing I’ve eaten in a while
- You’ve also spent time in Baku and Sumgayit. Which of these three cities do you like the most, and why?
- I’ve loved all three cities honestly but the scenery in Baku and the architecture is simply something that is amazing.
- Looking ahead to the away game against Guba, what are your expectations? Do you believe you can secure a second win?
- Guba is a good team that is hungry and we can’t take it lightly at all I feel if we follow the game plan the coach has for us we will be successful and be able to secure our second win.
