In the tournament the main event of the week, but December, is the confrontation between the leaders of the “Dnepr” and “Budivelnyk”.
In case of victory of the first would be in the standings is already considerable lead over his pursuers, while the second was able to catch her in just the command of Denis Zhuravlev.
Accordingly, the duel between them was to become extremely hot. Especially before meeting in Dnipro and Kiev decently show off in matches with other opponents…

1 Dec. Dnepr. DS “Shinnik”. 980 spectators.
Before the big break “mavpy” absolutely failed the game tactically, especially in attack. Reliance solely on begmanov ended in tears because for the first 20 minutes the team managed to implement the game with only six shots. In the second quarter we managed to concede 20 unanswered points in a row!
Needless to say, the “fun” team sculpts in Cherkasy at least “fun” coach Maksym Mikhelson…

3 Dec. Dnepr. DS “Shinnik”. 1040 spectators.
Before the big break, the hopes of fans to see a hot confrontation was fully justified. On quick ball movement dnepryane their opponents responded in a less rapid movements of Henry Dugat and Ruslan Otverchenko, who themselves had not enough, and the partners played not bad. Accordingly, in the second quarter I had a moment when “Budivelnyk” took the lead on seven points. However, a series of successful actions performed by Stanislav timofeyenko has not allowed the team of Vladimir Koval to develop success.
Well, in the third ten protection “Budivelnika” for some reason just crumbled. Kiev too inadvertently gave a certain freedom to Dmitry Glebov and immediately got a “gift” in the form of a series of three-pointers hits. Scorer from behind the arc also supported Pavel Revzin and the same timofeyenko. Thus, the “Dnepr” very quickly ran into the lead of two dozen points and then used a very aggressive defense, which resulted in numerous losses of rivals, which in the end had accumulated 24.
Interestingly, in this respect at least once goof without exception, the wards of Volodymyr Koval! Well, when a reliable control of the ball is actually lost – hope for a comeback is no longer necessary. Nothing happened and “Budivelnyk”.
Thus, Dnipro proved that at the moment are the most well coordinated and played a team, in addition, well prepared physically. But it will stand “Dnepr” in the same rhythm until the end of the season – a rhetorical question…

However, successful actions in a key moment of the two Alexandrov – Czech Kobets – back “maitum” the leadership and then brought victory.

The only question is: for how long?..
