“If Pari NN shows the same game as with Zenit in the Cup, there will be nuances that CSKA will have to pay attention to” – Yelevich

If the basketball team “Paris NN” will demonstrate in the match with CSKA the same basketball as in the decisive match of the Final Four of the Russian Cup with “Zenith” then she will have a chance to succeed in the match with the leader of the VTB United League, the honored coach of Russia told Sergei Elevitch .

Bet NN will play with CSKA in the United League regular season game on March 22 in Moscow, the start of the match is at 8:00 p.m. Moscow time. Watch the live broadcast of the Match! Country” and “Match! A game”.

Earlier on Sunday, Nizhny Novgorod became the owners of the Russian Cup in basketball, beating Zenit in the decisive match (84:72).

– Why was Pari NN stronger than Zenit in the decisive game of the Russian Cup?

– First of all, of course, thanks to the organization of the game and the excellent work of the technical staff. By the moments of working with the depth of the team, by the way Lukic changed basketball players, he dominated Pascual in this match. The only question was whether they would survive or not. Because they played with nine. I think Nizhny Novgorod deservedly won. They fought like lions over every inch of the site. But in principle, I would rate all the players of PARI NN and Zenit in this match: they all fought until the end. But Nizhny Novgorod succeeded thanks to organization and a great desire to win.

I really liked the Final Four of the Russian Cup. Because I saw that we had a good reserve. With him, we can navigate the future of the national team. I like it the most.

– Does the new owner of the Russian Cup have a chance in the game against United League leaders CSKA?

– Nizhny Novgorod started this season without shaking or rolling, but then Lukic started to get the best possible result. I like this team a lot: they are very mobilized, they play with a lot of desire. I would say that the functioning of a Swiss watch is a team.

Will they be able to adequately resist CSKA? Well, of course, they don’t have such good centers as the Muscovites. Therefore, there may be problems. But the perimeter of Nizhny Novgorod is in no way inferior to the perimeter of CSKA. And the three-point hit percentage is close to 50. That’s a good percentage.

Yes, CSKA is a brand club, and a lot of people hang around in front of it. “Nizhny Novgorod”? What does he have to hide? I think that if he shows the same game as with Zenit, there will also be nuances that CSKA will have to pay special attention to,” Yelevich told a correspondent.
