Not our day
"Orenburg" (Orenburg): Sventickis – Hlyakin, Safonov – Zinchenko, Spodobets – Kudryashov, Maksimenko/Moiseev
"Gazprom-Ugra" (Surgut): Kirillov – Papazov, Kurbatov – Shevlyakov, Rodychev is Masko, Nagaec
In the first set, the mutual block almost immediately grew as the main element of the game, they earned points, finishes were obtained. Aisom Kirillov “ate” a small gap in the opening (11:11), Khlyakin's attack into touch brought us a break (14:13), we got another one with a block to Safonov (18:16). And right there, after the host timeout, another, closing the attack to Kudryashov from the fourth zone. Kirillov had a good period of thought - the Orenburg region block began to show some light, Shevlyakov clogs the zone (21:17). But then Kirillov experienced a quality failure: Rodichev's pass went to substitute Rakhmatullin. But we rolled into the endgame on comfortable 24:20.
And lost three set points: Ivanov left the square and did not serve, Chas responded with an ace, and Kurbatov hit out. The tension that arose was relieved by an attack along the edge of the block by Rodichev (25:23), but the alarm bell has already sounded.
In the second game we had a lot of opportunities to catch up with our opponents, and come forward, if not for the incredible Orenburg block. The opponent scored eight points with this element, nullifying all our efforts as on rent, and in protracted play-offs. Somewhere the owners were good, somewhere Kirillov's programs began to be read. for example, Maxim’s wonderful serve gave us freeball, which Maxim himself very predictably gave to Shevlyakov - they were waiting for him and instead 8:7 on the board 7:8.
The owners save themselves from our discounts with two pancakes in two draws and realize their desires, 10:12. Papazov attacks on the block broken by Kirillov, 12:14, but Rudnev could not serve, and Masko is chronically blocked today, 12:16. We cling again: Papazov at the next break and then, on the third attempt he gets a break on another breaking serve from Kirillov, 14:16.
Closer to the end we begin to let go of the opponent: Kurbatov doesn't score, 16:20. Breaks are not given, and on the scoreboard 20:23 served by Kirillov. It will work out? Another good shot, but Khlyakin converts a difficult ball, getting a set point. Kudryashov's block slightly pushes back the inevitable in the form of a serve into the net from Masko, 21:25.
What happened next, needs separate analysis. At first, let's give their opponents their due - they caught the wave, plus in some moments fortune absolutely decisively sided with them. Secondly, went beyond the qualitative boundaries Kirillov, periodically extinguishing his attackers with unregulated passes. Pointed it at Rodichev's block - 1:4. Then, vice versa, gave him suddenly far from the net, 1:5. Artem Ivanov appears on the site and stabilizes the quality: Rodichev is being filmed, great pass to Papazov, 3:5. But we fail in other elements: don't hit the net ball, Rodichev's discount from the block is not insured, Chas scores another ace, 4:10. Slobodyanyuk comes on instead of Rodichev., and Masko today has a blocking pass in the fourth zone, 5:12. Spodobets breaks the ace cable, 5:14 and the chase in this set becomes almost utopian.
Although... Slobodyanyuk closes a long rally with an attack in line, two blocks by Spodobtsu bring another break, Ace Papazova – 13:18. But no, there was no long pull, the opponent again blocks Papazov (15:22), Masko stops again (16:24), and Makar Bestuzhev, who left for the new team, puts an end to it.
Honestly, there were certain hopes for the fourth set: let's get together, let's regroup, let's find counterarguments. The game as a whole was a struggle, We lost sharply only in the final stage, leaving all your implementation, apparently, in Moscow. But Rodichev simply throws the ball into touch in search of the second zone, Rudnev, who came on instead of Papazov, hits the same spot, 2:6.
Kirillov returns and drives his captain behind the antenna, 2:7. In such circumstances it is extremely difficult to turn the tide of the game, which didn't happen. We're out of luck somewhere again, somewhere we don't carry ourselves, We’re getting extra games somewhere, but we can’t implement them. Rodichev fights, twists two heavy balls, 11:16, and in the next draw there was a chance to catch on to something, but the returning Papazov does not place the net ball diagonally across the field...
Perhaps, it was no longer just a sign, and the loud signal is all, guys, today is not your day. Rodichev touches the net, trying to play on the outgoing ball, Chas again with ace, again unsuccessful pass to Papazov, 11:20. Khlyakin puts the finishing touches with two aces, 15:25.
Orenburg looked like a solid team, горело и выжгло себе реабилитацию за поражение в первом круге. Мы же провалили второе касание и, по цепочке, attack. У нас нет таких ресурсов, чтобы со второго этажа подчищать работу связующего на постоянной основе. However, все шишки сваливать на Кириллова было бы несправедливо: проигрывает всегда команда. Сегодня соперник был хорош, но не сильнее нас, lost to themselves: and in reception, and on the pitch, and in attack. Неудачная игра, it happens. Pity, что она пришлась на матч с прямым конкурентом, которого мы изрядно простимулировали на погоню. But nothing, второй круг длинный, есть время на исправление и две победы в запасе.
