DAY FOUR: THE FIRST VICTORY OF TYUMEN AND AN EQUAL GAME OF THE HOSTS WITH NOVOSIBIRSK

The fourth day of the preliminary stage of the Russian Cup in Surgut began with an unobvious (before the start of the match) victory of "Tyumen" over "University" – 3:0. In the first two days, the people of Barnaul lit, taking a point from Zenit and beating Samotlor, but, seem to be, then gave up a bit. "Tyumen", experiencing certain problems with the configuration, took every set quite confidently. I think, that these estimates are interesting in the light of future battles in the major league "A".

In the next game, Zenit defeated Samotlor diagonally with Pirainen 3:1. If Grozer was needed in the previous game with Gazprom-Ugra, Enough of Sergey, who scored the most in the team - 21 point - for ambiguous 48 percent effectiveness in attack. In "Samotlor" the impulse of Maxim Novgorodov (22 points, 61 percent in attack) no one really supported, and Zenit worked more smoothly. In general, the pitch said its word in the game - 7 aces "Zenith" against two, 58 percentage of positive reception among St. Petersburg residents against 38 at the opponent.

In the game between Gazprom-Ugra and Lokomotiv with the same score 3:1 the resistance of the losing team was much more stubborn - the Surgut team lost all the lost games with a minimum gap of two points. After a trip to the Russian national team, Kirill Ursov gained confidence and condition, – 23 points, 56 percent in attack, 57 percent positive reception, a block and two aces is a classic of the genre. If Kirill's efforts were adequately supported by the team! But Bohdan Glivenko, the closest in terms of points scored, finished only 17 attacks from 38 attempts. However, Lokomotiv showed almost the same statistics - leader Sergey Savin, the rest are around, and the difference in the score and in the game was made by episodes in the endings.
