Thank you. The day before the game our coach said me about it. For the first time this season I was in the form. Earlier I participated in practices, I was on the games, but in usual clothes.

What moment did you entered the court?

I played full 4th quarter.

The most important thing is that I again started to play my favorite sport - basketball. There is nothing to scare. You just need to work on practices and then enter to the court and show what you can. The main thing is to be healthy.
