In the last game in Moscow, UNICS defeated MBA with a score of 94:63 in the second stage of the United League championship.

On February 10, the Kazan team at home in the second leg of the Russian Cup quarter-finals will meet PARI NN. In the first meeting, Nizhny Novgorod won (81:72). Watch the live broadcast of the match on “Match! Game” from 5:55 p.m.

– We are preparing for the second leg of the Russian Cup quarter-finals with Nizhny Novgorod. Lost in the first game. It is clear that we must win by more than nine points. In general, it will not be easy against this serious opponent. But I hope our fans will come to support us and we will try to win,” Vorontsevich told .

– Did a confident win over MBA in the last United League match cheer you up after a big loss to Lokomotiv in the previous game?

– Certainly. We understood that we had to re-educate ourselves in front of the supporters and in front of ourselves. Of course, we have to build our own game and avoid the mistakes we made in the game against Lokomotiv. There haven’t been weak teams in the league for a long time. You understand that you must log in to each match as if it were a final. Because if you go out less concentrated, the opponent can quickly throw you, and then it will be difficult to catch up with you. It is therefore necessary from the first minutes to play thoroughly in defense in order to impose a fight on the opponent and prevent him from using his assets. First, you need to build your own basketball, namely team basketball. 5 people – on the site, 12 – in the composition. Therefore, you must try to use everyone fully, try to play for each other, helping each other. It’s clear that basketball is a game of good times and mistakes, and you have to belay your friend, at the same time it’s important that someone else can belay you too. How we played with the MBA, when we insured each other, then everything went well. Therefore, we are trying to build our team game now. God grant that everything will work out.

– In October, you injured your hand and did not return to play until the beginning of January. What optimal form did you manage to gain during this time?

– I feel good. All health. Because none of the players like to miss games and train individually. I think I’m in good shape, but there’s no limit to perfection.
