Sergey Karasev: "I fly to Cleveland to sign a contract"


The questions "SE" said the leader of the student's basketball team, which is the gold medal of the Universiade 2013 added the title of tournament MVP .Even before the start of the Universiade our basketball players as members of the main favorites. After all, very often in the pros, though not all of them are in their clubs on the first cast.
However, by Sergei Karasev, less than a month ago, the selected "Cleveland" on the 19th number in the NBA draft, this amendment is not exactly the case. In his 19 years, he has undisputed leader of "Triumph," which, as it was now in Kazan, appears under his father, known in the past Vasily Karasev playmaker.

In the final match against the Australians Karasev Jr. scored 15 points, and the results of all of the Universiade took first place in the list of the most successful players in the tournament (152 points in 8 matches - all victories), with 57 percent of the shots. It hit him in many ways determined the outcome and final, which ended with the score 81:74 in favor of the Russians.

- I want to say thank you to all the creators of our success: teammates, coaching staff, physicians, employees federation, the fans - not hide his joy Karasev. - The team we crept in Kazan gorgeous. All these days we were a family.

- The game in the final, which turned out quite tense, happy?

- We knew that the Australians - a very strong opponent. On the way to the final they left out in the cold Lithuanians, Americans Serbs. And often they act out a head start by 10-15 points. So there is nothing surprising in the fact that today they were back in the game after "-15", no. The most important thing - letting the enemy in the fourth quarter of the approach to a distance of two points, we do not flinch. And the fans, of course, been very helpful. Support the "Basket-hall" was fantastic.

- In the most important moments initsativu often you take it. And never let a team.

- I understand that, as a leader should lead the guys behind him. However, advocates are often "duplicate" on me and did not disdain a rough reception. Fortunately, they did not help, I immediately found a free transfer partner - and he found himself.

- Whether there was a big problem because of the loss of two fouls captain and the other team leader Semyon Antonov?

- At the end of the game perfectly Eugene entered the vortex and especially Andrei Zubkov, who scored 19 points. As for the fouls seeds, it only doing the installation of the match: Do not give Australians gain easy baskets. So to his credit in victory - too colossal.

- Can you compare the emotions of this victory, and after the London Olympic bronze?

- I think that it is possible. Of course, the Olympic bronze I will never forget, but still gold is gold.

- Forces on the first team of the country enough? After all, the national team training starts on Monday ...

- No problem. Rest a couple of days are July 19, flew to the U.S. to sign a contract with "Cleveland", and then - once for the national team, which really want to help the Eurobasket in Slovenia.

- A contract with "Cleveland" - is already a done deal?

- That's right. It remains to pass medical examination and take part in the official press conference. Immediately after pick me it unlike other novices not. We had to rush to the Universiade ...
