NEBL.
NEBL.
Alexey ponomarenko from Vilnius "Today".
AT FIRST BUMPINESS, THEN - TWO "TANKS".
At group of support NEBL - girls who dance in breaks and
Time-outs, - there is number when they extend arbitrators and drive with
Them round dances. During time of "the Ending of four" there was a discomfiture. The girl
Has pulled the judge from Russia Michael Davidov, but it is somehow awkward, and they
Have rung out on a floor. The Vilnius Palace of sports has lingeringly giggled. And
Davidov with not taken place partner on a round dance since a half-minute
Sat, about something talked... Here, actually, and all discomfiture
The ending of the first championship of the North European basketball league.
Contrary to all culinary laws the first pancake has baked not a clod.
Has won that ending from whom for it and waited. BK "Kiev", unfortunately,
Has left with a steering-wheel. But at first was...
Hole. In a half an hour of summer to Vilnius the plane with delegation from
Kiev has got to bumpiness. Small, but there was a moment, when boltanulo
Decently. Have got to an air hole. Someone speaks - drop 200
Metres, someone - that is no more 50. But for hand-rail have seized all.
The defender of "Kiev" Sergey Przheorsky was at this time in a cabin
The pilot. To the people in salon has jammed more than contains п п -24, and Serezha
Has agreed to sit on a place of the second radio operator. When it after
Plantings left in salon, from companions type questions were heard:
"Grey when us has broken, only it is fair, it you the steering wheel took?".
As then. Having had a bite after an arrival, the command has gone on
Training. While children changed clothes, the honourable president of club
Alexander Volkov has asked a ball, left in the platform centre, has knocked,
Has made pair of steps and has thrown... As then, in 89th. Only then it
Was in Kaunas. The superending with "Zhalgiris". Wolves has thrown almost from
The centre last second - also has got. This throw has brought
"п я п?iп п п я п?п п я " "gold". Probably, the most mad throw in
Histories of the championships of the USSR... To Basketball players of "Kiev" willy-nilly
It was necessary to distract from zashnurovyvanija krossovok. As well as 11 years ago,
The ball after throw Volkova has failed in a basket...
Spectators. The price of tickets for "the Ending of four" fluctuated in area
$5 - 15. Thus, that a standard of living in Lithuania the little above
Ukrainian language. Perhaps, therefore the sports Palace has not been hammered to
Refusal, from 3500 places to steam of hundreds were empty. But cried out and the hall whistled
On all ten.
Saturday. A semi-final. CSKA - BK "Kiev" - 105:88.
The first quarter kievljane have won - 29:24. Also were protected densely, and
Attacked kombinatsionno, without haste. There was at all a ray
Hopes, and a bright projector! Soldiers, no doubt, - favourites "the Ending
Four "," Kiev "- on the contrary. But it in the theory, and in practice - here
It a platform, here on it CSKA and here "Kiev" which does painfully
To this CSKA.
Such moment. Soldiers have Andrey Kirilenko, the 19-year-old guy,
Which last year has got on a draught of NBA and which name most
The bright young player of Europe. Against it at "Kiev" Zhuravlyov played.
And so not Denis suffered with Kirilenko, on the contrary - the Russian not
Knew what to do with Zhuravlyov. For a ten-minute Denis has typed 8
Points at absolute realisation...
But with the beginning of the second quarter the hope projector began to grow dim.
The break has stirred up CSKA. The Moscow stars have understood, that "one left"
Will not pass, and have rolled up sleeves. Have played faster and more rigidly. And at ours
Failures in defence have begun... Have allowed to throw without hindrances Kudelinu.
And to Igor only give. Has typed 7 points for a minute, then still "trjulnik"
Has added, still... Hizhnjak was not in time for Ejnikisom, tsentrovoj visitors
Precisely attacked from an average distance, because of an arch... Simply fine
From a bench left Sirs. For a match at it 23 points, 9 selections, 6
Interceptions... To the middle of a quarter of CSKA left forward, and
Knocking out blow has put in the third. Kievljane have lost it 15:28.
Backlog has grown to 16 points - 80:64, and is closer than on 10 soldiers
Ours any more did not admit.
At "Kiev" more others have shot Makkants - 21 point and
Medvedenko - 19. But also on losses these two in leaders: at Kurtisa -
5, at Stanislav - 4.
Semi-final. "Lituvos Ritas" - "Zhalgiris" - 74:67.
Chances in Lithuanian derbi were considered as the equal. "Zhalgiris" is more powerful,
But "Ritas" plays native Vilnius... As has told after a match
The trainer "Ritas" SHarunas Sakalauskas, they have won thanking
Aggressions: "Kaunastsy do not like, when it to breathe do not give..."
Low growth vilnjustsy compensated nastyrnostju. Skill to
nastyrnosti it is applied. And at skilled Gedrajtisa, Elliotta, and at
20-year-old Arvidasa Masjauskasa, hammered 3 trehochkovyh with 4
Attempts. On this guy has already put an eye kouch CSKA Konstantin Eremin.
Exit urn. The referendum has not passed by the Kiev delegation.
Besides - has called in directly in hotel! To one o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday in a hall
There was a third secretary of the Ukrainian embassy, and we is active
Have voted. And the third secretary has therein asked the complimentary ticket
On basketball...
Beer. On an input of many cafes of Vilnius the poster hangs: "Look
NEBL at us! During translation of matches - beer is twice cheaper! "
Beer there, by the way, costs half-dollar, in cafe - dollar. More expensively, than
At us, but in Vilnius all is more expensive.
Sunday. For 3 place. "Zhalgiris" - BK "Kiev" - 110:88.
Here is how time of aggression does not suffice while kievljanam. And more -
Concentration. Can play well, but fragments. To consult
With commands of calibre of "Zhalgiris", it is not enough of it. Even when
"Zhalgiris" not in mood. The day before kaunastsev have deprived of the ending,
And the road was blocked by the basic contender - what here
Inspiration... But to win back with "Kiev" without failures of a class has sufficed.
We resisted, but - resisted, without claims on
verhovodstvo. Though also the throw like "went". At once five have typed
More than ten points: Medvedenko - 21 (plus of 9 selections), Przheorsky
-- 18, Makkants - 15 (10 transfers, the truth, - at 8 losses!),
Balashov - 13, Lebedev - 11...
The ending. CSKA - "Lituvos Ritas" - 95:77.
"Ritas" hundred have given all the best on all - but to stop the Moscow tank not
Could. There was a moment in the third quarter when they managed to reduce
Backlog from 19 points to five. Masijauskas "was scattered". And then
Eremin has let out on it Tihonenko. The 36-year-old forward of Muscovites all
The match has stayed before on a bench. And here its experience has appeared very much
By the way. Valery has taken the young Lithuanian, has hammered important trehochkovyj
-- And CSKA has again come off on safe distance... Victorious
The cup of debut championship NEBL has left to Moscow.
The prize-winning. The final four has played $100 000. Soldiers
Have received $45 000, "Lituvos Ritas" - $25 000, "Zhalgiris" - $20
000, "Kiev" - $10 000.
The same eggs, only in a profile. What is the basketball for Lithuania?
About the same, that for us football. A usual Kiev picture: goes
The company of children, at one under the arm a football. Now we change
It on basketball - it is received typically Lithuanian picture. At us
Where put - gate, there - rings.
Total. An exit of "Kiev" in "the Ending of four" - already in itself
Achievement. To club year old. But it would be desirable after all bolshego! And NEBL,
By the way, in a following season will amplify - will be connected still
Some commands... At Lithuanians basketball in genes. They will not be gone.
At us in genes another. But at desire, the history proves, - mountains
We turn off also the rivers back. At the big desire. Is such, and,
"kievljane"?.
