Not just that Leon helped Zenit beat Fakel, but he was the top scorer of his team with 13 points. Still, he admits that it was not so easy for him before the match…
“I felt good on the court, although I was a little nervous before the game. It is not so simple psychologically to play the 1st match after recovering from injury. You are always a bit afraid to jump on the injured leg. But, this is not the 1st time in my career to face this situation, so I tried to focus only on the match. I know that I can play a lot better than I did play today,” said Leon for R-Sport.
