President of the Russian Basketball Federation Andrei Kirilenko on ‘s Loud, he called the completed VTB United League season the best in history.
The “Zenith” of St. Petersburg beat Moscow CSKA in the final series with a score of 4-3 and won the tournament for the first time in history.
Is Russian basketball alive? What we saw in the VTB United League final.
– Yes, very cool! Kirilenko said on . “Best season, best playoffs I’ve seen in league history. A series of seven games, and in the seventh game the club, which was previously announced as the underdog in this series, wins, showing character. I’m happy, to be honest.
– We rejoice in the victory of Zenit, not only because everyone is tired of CSKA victories. Is there anything cooler here?
– In my opinion, I personally supported the guys: Vitaly Fridzon, Sergey Monya, Yegor Vyaltsev – who came to Zenit in the middle of the season and became such a special amulet. And in general, the whole season has been very interesting. UNICS, Lokomotiv-Kuban looked very decent, that’s why I say this season is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Because there was very good competition.
– How does this fit with events on the international scene? I’m talking about what to do next to make the VTB United League look amazingly cool.
– In my opinion, these situations should be used and draw positive things from them. We now have great attention for the national championship. Why not use it? We can all see how much excitement this series has generated. We have to build on that. The next season will take place without European competition. There is a great opportunity for our young players to have more playing time. For our viewers to come to their internal championship, because that is the only thing they will see. It’s just a good sign to develop yours.
