Nazar Guliev

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most crucial game of the last round was another loss of top-ranked Borisfen (22-6) in Mogilev on Friday night. Hosts were edged by fourth ranked Tsmoki II (13-16) 67-65. Tsmoki II forced 24 Borisfen turnovers. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of Nazar Guliev (201-2002) who helped to win the game recording 9 points and 12 rebounds. Forward Artem Sekushenko (195-2001) contributed with 8 points and 11 rebounds for the winners. American forward Darrious Agnew (203-1999, college: Alcorn St.) answered with 19 points and 8 rebounds for Borisfen. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Tsmoki II maintains fourth place with 13-16 record. Borisfen at the other side still keeps top position with six games lost. They share it with Grodno.
Another exciting game was a derby match between two teams from Minsk: Tsmoki II (#4) and Impuls BGUIR (#5). Impuls BGUIR was defeated at home 64-69 and even the advantage of their own court did not help. It was a great evening for the former international point guard Roman Scherbakov (185-2003) who led his team to a victory scoring 15 points and 7 assists (perfect from the field making all seven shots !!!). Aliaksei Navoichyk helped adding 16 points. At the losing side point guard Mikita Dashkevich (178-2001) responded with 27 points. Tsmoki II maintains fourth place with 13-16 record. Impuls BGUIR at the other side keeps the fifth position with 19 games lost.
The game in Brest was also quite interesting. Third ranked SDUSHOR (13-11) played at the court of 5th ranked Brest (11-14). SDUSHOR managed to secure a 7-point victory 80-73 on Wednesday. It was an exceptional evening for Kirill Barancheev who led the winners and scored 23 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 9 steals (made all of his nine free throws !!!). Vladislav Lagodich came up with 22 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 7 steals for Brest in the defeat. Brest’s coach Eduard Vasiliuk rotated ten players in this game, but that didn’t help. SDUSHOR maintains third place with 13-11 record having thirteen points less than leader Tsmoki-Minsk U20. Brest lost eighth consecutive game. They keep the fifth position with 14 games lost.
