Lokomotiv-Kuban will come to CSKA with the desire to prove something. This will be a fight until the last minute.” – Ware

Defender CSKA Casper Ware on the eve of Game 5 of the United League semi-final series with “Lokomotiv Kuban Said that he expects a real battle in the upcoming match, as the previous four meetings with Krasnodar have been held in an extremely tense fight.

The fifth game of the semi-finals of the army and railway team will be held on April 25 in Moscow. The score in the series up to four wins is 2–2.

– What are the expectations for the fifth game of the semi-final series?

“There will be a real fight. All four matches ended with a difference of less than 10 points, so I think the opponents will come to us wanting to prove something. They know they can win, we know we can too. We play at home, it will help to have a little more energy. So it will be a fight until the last minute.

You talked about energy. How important is it in this series to have a little more power?

– Without it, it is impossible to win in any way, because both teams fight with all their might. The playoffs always need energy.

– Is it difficult to carry out such a series, with such long movements? You certainly have experience, you played in Krasnoyarsk.

– (Laughs). Yes, yes, I trained a little last season. It’s hard. It is important to be professional with your body. Take care of him a little more, stretch more carefully. These are the key points.

The basketball player also told how he visited the gymnasium on the way from Krasnodar to Moscow.

– From Krasnodar, CSKA returned home via Stavropol. Is it true that in Stavropol in the morning before returning to Moscow you went to the gym?

– Yes it is. We had to force ourselves to move, to activate our muscles, because we spent five hours on the bus, then three more on the plane. It’s part of the job,” Ware added.
