In self-preservation mode
"Dinamo-LO": Kovalev - Murashko, Kolenkovsky – Chervyakov, Mergarejo – Dmitriev, Kerminen
"Gazprom-Ugra": S. Kostadinov - Litvinov, Shevlyakov - Andreev, Rodichev - A. Kostadinov, Moiseev/Nagaets
We started right away by watching - Kolenkovsky is out, 1:0. They almost took another one right away, fortunately the hosts admitted to touching the block, 2:1. Sosnovoborets did not present anything unsolvable on the grid, but we ourselves made mistakes in the final games, and when Paz and Shevlyakov separated in space, Dynamo-LO took the lead, 3:4.
Rodichev actively experimented with gravity, Slavi flirted with the opponent's front line in attack, the block gave the judges a chance to make a mistake, but Litvinov finished off and saved the audience from another viewing, 8:8. Then the same Litvinov, with an out on an oblique diagonal, gave Dynamo-LO one break, and a freeball on Kovalev’s serve brought the second, via Chervyakov, 14:11. Dmitrieva, meanwhile, is replaced by Voronkov and remains on the court until the end of the match.
With this break, the teams moved on. The double replacement of Gazprom-Yugra turned out to be, that Kirillov put Andreev on the fifth point with an awkward pass (14:18). Everything was heading towards a logical conclusion., but Mergarejo ended up under the roof in an emergency situation, Shevlyakov caught Voronkov's pipe, and Slavi made an ace from the category of “who saw the ball?», 19:20. Intrigue?
After the time-out, "Dinamo-LO" Slavi did not give up, and then Kirillov did not star in the role of the diagonal and gave way to Litvinov already at 19:22. Actually, this is where the exchange of points ended with, that Rodichev perfectly took Mergarejo’s powerful serve on a set point, but he himself couldn’t cope with the attack, 21:25.
In the second game, during Murashko's series of serves with an ace, we flew away 1:4. Then there was a funny reception, which flew into the Dynamo field and immediately blocked Murashko, 4:5. The tool for obtaining justice has come into play again: video review records the hosts touching the net (6:7), and soon it doesn’t register (7:9). A little more and the cameras will see, how Voronkov’s blow parallel to the floor, in search of contact, catches Rodichev’s finger, 9:11.
Voronkov broke up with the hosts, successfully solving problems of varying degrees of complexity on a grid, Kovalev folded twice in one draw, I would throw it a third time, but the second one passed, 12:14. Nikiforov, meanwhile, died down in attack and serve and went for a double. Litvinov caught the rebound from the block (14:18), reverse double turned into problems for Alexander Kostadinov, who was replaced by Kuklinski, and on the scoreboard 16:22. Generally, We didn’t have a reliable option in attack, Moreover, seven errors on serve did not allow me to speak clearly in the “break” phase.. Voronkov put the point with an ace, 17:25.
In the third game, Dynamo-LO featured Zakhvatenkov, we have Tkachev, Demakov and Kuklinsky and Nikiforov remained. Same scenario again: we give away the debut, we are getting closer thanks to the efforts of Demakov (6:7, two attacks and a block), Chervyakov responds with his block to his opponent and attack, 7:10. Slavi pulls out the block and opens the sky to Nikiforov, Mergarejo hits a signature pipe, and on the site the former Surgut resident Kurbatov.
at level 12:15 the local public doesn't know, be happy or sad – it seems like they got a break thanks to Murashko’s efforts, but Kovalev is lying, holding your back. Krechetov comes out and takes another break through Voronkov, 12:16. Alexander Kostadinov is stopped by Kurbatov and gives way to Bobrov at the mark 13:18. Our finishing game is clearly inferior in power, and then Kurbatov blocks Demakov’s attack, 13:21. Bobrov disrupts the reception, but Kurbatov could not stand it on the passing ball and put a stake on the opposing side. However, it's already difficult for us to help, even some humanitarian marriage in the end: Murashko feeds the shortened one into the net, Zakhvatenkov is taken out, but Bobrov also can’t cope with his serve, 18:25.
Clear feeling, that it’s not that we didn’t play one hundred or even seventy percent, we didn't even try to do it. Either the batteries from the game ran out on the third day of moving, or they decided to save their strength and emotions before the home game with Novaya, where there will be more chances to win. The championship is a stayer's distance, forces must be deployed taking into account all circumstances. It is extremely difficult to win the Super League on pure skill, other resources require accumulation. I'm sure, that on Sunday in Surgut a completely different team will take to the court. And the three-match trip Kemerovo - Moscow - Sosnovy Bor should be considered quite successful, two away wins is very good.
