29-year old guard Zhanysh Adiev (190-G-90) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for second-ranked Moy Telefon and receives a Interperformances Player of the Week award for round 13.
He had the game-high 45 points adding six rebounds and seven assists for Moy Telefon in his team's victory, helping them to outclass SHUM (#7, 1-10) with 49-point margin 104-55. Moy Telefon maintains the 2nd position in Kyrgyzstani league. They are still close to the very top. Moy Telefon would have been even better if they kept winning the games like in the last round. They have a solid 8-1 record. In the team's last game Adiev had a remarkable 63.2% from 2-point range and got seven three-pointers out of 14 attempts. He has many years of experience at Moy Telefon, through which he has constantly improved. Adiev has impressive league stats. He is league's best scorer averaging so far 34.2ppg. Adiev is in league's top in assists (4th best: 3.9apg) and averages solid 3.6spg and 70.3% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Aleksei Batskih (205-PF-73) of Legion. He is a forward in his first season at Legion. In the last game Batskih recorded impressive double-double of 18 points and 13 rebounds. Of course he led Legion to another comfortable win outscoring slightly lower-ranked Guiness-29 Jr. (#5, 5-6) 101-65. This victory allowed Legion to move up to 3rd position in the standings. His team's 7-3 record is not bad at all. Batskih is a newcomer at Legion and quickly became one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Azim Cholonbaev (162-PG-01) of Guiness-29 Jr. (#5). Cholonbaev got into 30-points club by scoring 36 points in the last round. He went also for ten rebounds and five assists. Despite Cholonbaev's great performance Guiness-29 Jr. lost 65-101 to slightly higher-ranked Legion (#3, 7-3). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. Cholonbaev has a great season in Kyrgyzstan. After only 9 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 20.2ppg (5th best) and assists with 5.9apg (3rd best).
