On Saturday, Zenit defeated UNICS in game six of the VTB United League semi-finals. The meeting in St. Petersburg ended with a score of 82:80 in favor of the hosts.
– Congratulations to all the fans for the victory. The support today was significant. It turned out to be a very emotional match. The key factor was the game at the end in defense and free throws. Both teams played well defensively. But we managed to break the opponent. We will be ready for Game 7.
Loss of Tompkins and Karasev? It’s a big problem. Important players lost. They are experienced fighters who are important in such series. We shouldn’t be upset. I have to find the right path.
– In the final series against CSKA last year, you were sent off in the seventh game. With your takedown, you rocked the team and your assistant led them to victory. Do you want to repeat that in the seventh game with UNICS?
“I will most likely not go. My assistants are doing a good job – the team wins with them. They will have to take everything back.
Seriously, we want to prepare the team well for the seventh game.
– Seven matches in the two series of semi-finals. Will this affect the quality of the final series and the 3rd place series?
– I can not say anything. So far, all attention is on game seven. Such a number of matches has a positive effect on the image of the league. In the series with UNICS, we lost two players. We don’t know yet how we will play in the next series, because we don’t know yet what kind of series it will be – final or for 3rd place, ” correspondent reports in Pascual’s words.
On May 2, the teams will play the semi-final of the qualifiers in Kazan, starting at 8:00 p.m. (Moscow time).
