So, in the season before last and last season, in the final struggle of these teams, the issue of gold medals was decided, which, in stubborn battles, still went to the Rostovites.
So Kazanochka had a good reason to tune in to the fight and try to beat their constant rival. However, Rostov-Don had its own no less, and perhaps more significant reason to win the upcoming match – it was the six hundredth official game of the southerners in the championship and the Cup of the country in basketball. Agree, there was no reason to overshadow such a glorious figure, date, with defeat.
The first ten minutes passed under the sign of fast, high-quality basketball played by both opponents, but the hostesses of the parquet were more precise, more persistent – 22:20.
In the second segment of the match, the superiority of the Volzhan women became more noticeable, especially since the guests clearly lost sight. However, in defense, the Donetsk team still tried to keep the mark. The quarter was left for the Kazan team – 17:13, and the hosts went on a long break with a slight advantage of 6 points – 39:33.
The break clearly benefited the Rostovites. They set off in pursuit, and soon Voronina establishes equality – 45:45. The coaching staff of the hostesses takes a minute, trying to improve the game. Kazanochka fine-tuned the defense, for the remaining time before the whistle missed only 4 points, however, at the same time they scored only two points in the opposite basket.
The Rostovites enter the fourth and final period, leading in the score – 49:47.
At the beginning of the quarter, the guests go ahead by 9 points, and after that the hostess begin to slowly reduce the gap. A minute before the siren, the Volga players approach the Donetsk team at a distance of one long-range shot – 60:63. But the Rostovites do not give more to hit their ring and confidently win.
Rostov-Don-YUFU wins the 600th official match with an interesting score of sixes and zeros – 66:60. And at the same time sets a new club record for the number of Super League matches won in a row – there are already eighteen of them.
P.S. After the game in Kazan, the Rostovites immediately went to Samara to meet with the local club, which is currently in second place and is only two points behind the Don students in the table.
