Forward of St. Petersburg “Zenit” Egor Evstafiev noted a spectacular hit from his half of the court under the siren about the end of the first quarter of the regular championship match against Moscow CSKA. The meeting was held on November 8 at the capital’s Megasport arena.
The episode took place at the very end of the opening ten minutes. After the free throw of the army, the St. Petersburgers had less than two seconds to return the attack. The 20-year-old basketball player received the ball in his half of the court and immediately sent it towards the opponent's ring.
