NTD team basketball player Zane Knowles gave an interview to the club's press service. Sport24.az reports that he spoke about the championship and his transfer to the team:
– The next game is against one of the league leaders, "Absheron Lions". What are your expectations for this match?
– I expect us to enter the court with greater energy, determination and self-confidence in this game. In the match against "Sabah", we played good basketball for most of the game, but it was not enough to win. However, I think we have high potential and are a stronger team.
– There was a long break in the league. How did the team use this period?
– During this period, we played two test matches. These games gave us the opportunity to play together more and understand each other better. I think this break benefited the team in a certain sense.
– What made you choose NTD club?
– I think I can help the team by adding physical strength. I show my physical strength and tough playing style on the court and I believed that these characteristics would benefit the team.
– How would you rate the level of the Azerbaijan Basketball League? Have you had the opportunity to watch other teams play?
– Frankly, I have only participated in two games so far, so it would not be correct to express an opinion. But the teams we faced showed good basketball. I have not had the opportunity to watch other teams' games live yet.
