VTB United League CEO Ilona Korstin commented on the winZenith ” above CSKA (97:95) in the fifth game of the final series.
— Today the teams gave you a birthday present in the form of an action-packed game. Do you agree?
“Today, it seems to me, was a basketball vacation,” Korstin told . — The basketball players played to the limit of their abilities. “Zenith” in the previous game, I think, missed the victory in the last seconds. This time, the Petersburgers had a ten-point lead at the end of the game, but CSKA fought on until the end. But Zenit, apparently, drew conclusions after the last defeat and more competently passed the end of such a difficult meeting.
– Do you think the champion will be determined in the next game?
– Now it’s hard to say. Because both teams play very evenly. Here, probably, the tactics of the head coaches of the teams will affect how tired the players are in the last game, how much they can recover. Zenit, I think, have a longer rotation, while CSKA have six or seven players who only have regular time. It’s hard to say anything here, but that’s what makes it interesting.
CSKA leads in the final series to four victories with the score of 3-2. The sixth game of the confrontation will take place in Saint Petersburg on Thursday, June 2.
