With the last bit of strength
"Gazprom-Ugra" (Surgut): Kirillov – Rudnev, Kurbatov – Shevlyakov, Korotaev – Skvortsov, Nagaec
"Dinamo-LO" (Pinery): Borchikov – Litvinenko, Dovgan - Fedorov, Lapin - Barabash, Vyshnevetsky
The match turned out to be as strange as possible. "Dinamo-LO", finishing ninth, lost tournament motivation and put up libero Artem Barabash and young Nikita Lapin as a pair of finishers (2006 points were obtained by the birthday boy Kirillov -). His replacement Nikita Borchikov came out to pass instead of Tyushkevich.. All these disturbances actually equalized the “weight” of the playing teams, although our Korotaev-Skvortsov pair should have dominated.
In fact, it started with Ace Barabash, and continued with an equal struggle throughout the entire first set. Borchikov loaded the effective Litvinenko to the maximum, Kirillov immediately fell in love with the fourth zone, where is Skvortsova at the mark 10:11 replaced Slobodyanuk. The teams took turns going forward, but they didn’t let each other go far. After Litvinenko's ace (13:15) Fedorov brought another glider break to the Sosnovoborsk team (16:19) and “Dynamo-LO” rolled into the end comfortably, bringing the matter to five set points just after the success of Barabash and Lapin on the edges of the net (19:24).
The chase began with Barabash's serve into the net, continued with a counterattack by Rudnev and an ace by Shevlyakov - Vishnevetsky threw out the glider, 22:24. Klimkin takes a time out, after which Rudnev scores the passing ball, and Litvinenko equalizes the score with a blow to the block, 24:24. Another timeout from Dynamo and another block from Surgut – this time to Lapin. In the next draw, Gazprom-Yugra received a play-out and a chance to take a set, but Rudnev shot into touch. Had we won this rally, the match could have gone differently, with a different mood. And so we played Litvinenko, who finished the set with an excellent attack and an ace, 25:28.
In the next game we went ahead on Rudnev's serve - ace (4:2), Slobodyanyuk's series of finishes, block of Barabash, attacker with a pipe, another ace from the diagonal - 8:2. Then came the defeat. Litvinenko doesn't find the line, 11:4. An unpleasant call: Nagaets and Korotaev pulled out Lapin’s attack in defense, but Rudnev “thanked” him with a shot into touch, 13:7. But Borchikov is further mistaken, decided to end the protracted rally himself (15:8), and Kurbatov unloaded his cannon with two aces in a row (19:10) plus gave out three more killer serves, who finished the game Shevlyakov and Gusamov, who came on instead of Skvortsov, 22:10.
Ace Kirillov brought a million set points, 24:11, which we began to systematically squander. There was no game, there was anticipation, that now Dynamo will make a mistake. But the opponent was not going to give up, Barabash even recorded another ace (24:16), and it all ended with the recognition of a contact on the block after Rudnev’s next shot wide of the court, 25:18.
In the third set, Barabash was replaced by formal center Fannur Kayumov in the finale. Kurbatov continues to commit atrocities on serve, 6:3, the opponent gets, 6:6, Kirillov knocks out Kayumov with a glider, and Shevlyakov issues a block to Dovgan (they exchanged these pleasantries throughout the match), 9:6. Borchikov continues to load Litvinenko, not always convenient for the attacker, but Nazar gets out of it, how can. Kirillov, without alternative, gives four. Basically, it works, especially when Borchikov is on the front line. 14:14 after another successful completion of the Litvinenko glider game, this time in Lapina, Kirillov turns into 17:14 – we end up with a comfortable advantage 20:17.
Korotaev demonstrates his skill on the withdrawn ball, hitting the line, 22:18. He receives further transfers - 23:19 by Fedorov, 24:20 – Fedorov suffers again, this time on defense. On a set point, Nagaets saves the ball once again, insuring the rebound from the block after Rudnev's attack, but Dovgan finishes. Shevlyakov answers: 25:21.
В четвертом сете Руднев компенсирует подачей неудачи на сетке: переворачивает двумя эйсами 2:4 on 5:4. Но в атаке не идет от слова совсем: очередной аут и 5:6. Выход в диагональ Скворцова бонусов не принес, but Gusamov showed himself smart - when he could, scored, when I saw a block, I took it out of my hands. But Fidan couldn’t cope with Lapin’s glider, 10:11. Kirillov decided to score himself - out, 13:15. Borchikov makes a weird move and passes by Fedorov, 16:16. However, Kirillov has a “worthy” answer - he passed Shevlyakov below the rope, 18:19.
Korotaev gets a much-needed ace with an excellent serve., 20:19, but Litvinenko, who had been silent until then, comes into play again. First, he makes a sighted roll into the empty zone to correct a low pass., and then implements a follow-up, 20:21. Gusamov was accepted with a block, Rudnev shoots into touch from the spot, but Dovgan touches the ball, which is confirmed by video viewing, 22:22. Litvinenko is being filmed, Kayumov gives an ace - 22:24. Rudnev responds with his filming, on the second set point, Litvinenko managed to fight off the attack, but with the second attempt Dovgan accurate, 23:25.
Kirillov largely lost the tiebreaker, never changed tactics, which amounted to monotonous passes to the fourth zone, two or three times in one draw. The “Dynamo-LO” block has already “settled” there and time after time hooked tired players. Gusamov block (2:2) Fidan compensated with an ace (4:2), but now the block is already covering Korotaev and again equality, 4:4.
Korotaev is blocked, 5:6. Two more passes to Ivan - to no avail, 5:7. Slobodyanyuk comes on instead., immediately receives two passes, none have been implemented, 5:8. Yes, there's a short Borchikov on the block, but I can't get through it, central hanging, closing the move, and our setter has no other options in attack.
After switching sides, Kirillov switched to Rudnev, but there is sadness there too, 5:9, and only through Shevlyakov is it possible to move forward. On Slobodyanyuk's short serves, Rudnev finishes the game twice, The defense against Litvinenko also works, 9:10. But we can’t dream again, and Litvinenko can put the squeeze on, 9:12. Gusamov sparkled with an excellent reception of Kayumov’s most powerful serve and attack, 10:12. He brings us the last point of the season, 11:13. And Litvinenko takes the ending, ending a protracted episode and ending it with an ace, 11:15.
The game left a strange aftertaste. In theory, it could have been won and 3:0, if not for a few "no", the main one is that it was not possible to take full advantage of the opponent’s weak points due to the presence of our own weak points. But I don’t want to focus on the negative right now. clear, that everyone is tired, that many, including Kirillov, played with injuries. By and large,, there are no special complaints about the guys, played the last match of the season to the limit (it was visible to the naked eye). All that remains is to thank everyone for their dedication and wish them a good rest before the new season. We'll sum up the season a little later..
