Basketball player from St. Petersburg “Zenith” Sergei Karasev On , he said that from the first game of the United League final series, VTB understood that it was real to win gold.
“Zenith” won CSKA in the final series with a score of 4-3. Sergey Karasev scored 6 points in the deciding match.
– When did it seem to you that panning for gold was real?
“We probably felt it from the first game. Although after the first two games, when the score became 0-2 in the series, many specialists, probably, and the fans also had a question mark in the air: maybe it will be again 0-4 like previous years? But in principle, we have tried to do that all season. We have been working since August and training. And not in vain. We train for those moments, for what’s going on in the gym, for those emotions. It is therefore probably the best final in the history of the United League. It’s great to be part of history. And very cool to win.
– When CSKA took a five-point lead, how did you manage not to get demoralized at that moment, not to succumb to the feeling that CSKA had completely taken the initiative?
– In fact, there was a difficult moment when they came back from “-15”, took the lead. And in the third quarter, this start was not particularly successful. But we kept previous games in mind. And the fifth game, which we won here, losing after the first quarter by 11 points. Then little by little they played our basketball, and it paid off.
Zenit won gold in the VTB United League for the first time in history.
