Lokomotiv Kuban intends revenge “BET NN” in the home encounter of the second stage of the United League championship for two defeats this season, the Krasnodar basketball club defender told Vladislav Yemchenko .
Lokomotiv-Kuban will host Nizhny Novgorod on February 7. The meeting will start at 8:00 p.m. Moscow time.
Krasnodar is fourth in Group A, PARI NN is fifth.
— How about Loko’s success in recent games against Zenit and UNICS? After all, in the first stage of the championship, things weren’t going so well for your team.
— Yes, we have won the last four games. They started to look more interesting, there was team play, stability. We won a difficult match with Zenit in the final seconds. Then we arrived in Kazan and from the first seconds, let’s say, we played well, aggressively. Both in attack and in defence. UNICS looked tired in this game. And Stas Ilnitsky did not play with them due to injury. And he gives energy to the team in attack. In general, UNICS did not look alike in this game. At the same time, we played competently and managed to get a major scoring advantage. God forbid we keep playing only better. Now we are preparing for the match with Nizhny Novgorod, all thoughts are on this match only, Yemchenko told .
– What game do you expect in the match with PARI NN?
Of course we want to win. Now we have gained momentum, but Nizhny Novgorod also has a top team. Yes, in the last games they lost, but the result of their match with UNICS was decided by a throw. With CSKA, they also played on an equal footing. We lost two matches against Nizhny Novgorod this season, so I’m sure we can’t. But we prepared, we analyzed the opponent’s game.
– Is there a revengeful mood?
– One hundred percent. Also, we are playing at home. I’m sure our fans will give us more energy and strength. I hope that all will be well.
