Astana has once again proved its dominance

23.10.2014

After the first confident match, of course, the team of Astana wanted to play not less confident second match.

At the beginning of the quarter, Pavel Ilyin again looked great, having scored several long shots. He builds his team’s dominance, then Jerry Johnson, Jakovan Brown begin to gain their scores. Brown also was marked by the active efforts to enter under the ring, followed by flick-backs, and there Makhalbashich did not leave the opponent a chance.

At the start, Almaty BC demonstrated active defense, alternating zone and personal defenses, but the main guests-players today looked less impressive than it was during the first game. And today, during the match, the defense of Astana did not always give the opponent a chance to make easy throw, and then to complete the attack.

We should note that Anatoliy Kolesnikov played well at intercepting the ball and Orazov Alimbek scored two consecutive goals from three-pointed line by the end of the second quarter. Slowly but confidently, Astana added score and the teams left for a big break with the difference of twenty-plus in favour of the hosts.

Today, the head coaches of both teams also gave the young people a chance to play, giving them a good game time. Trying to add some entertainment to the game, the players of Astana BC often looked for high cross of Maxim Marchuk, but this was not enough for an intriguing match. Astana once again proved its dominance in the National League of Kazakhstan, having won Almaty Legion in two home matches with the big score difference.
