The determining factor in the decisive match of the series of semi-finals between UNICS And “Zenith” Is the ability of basketball players to resume play at a difficult time and decide the outcome of the match, the assistant to the president of the Kazan club told ? Honored coach of Russia Stanislav Eremin.
On Saturday, UNICS were beaten by Zenit (80:82) in the sixth match of the VTB United League semi-finals. On May 2, the teams will meet in Kazan for the decisive seventh game of the series.
– Well, the first feeling that it was possible, but it did not work out a bit … But, of course, there was a struggle of nerves. Both teams had their own difficulties. See what psychological burden on the players if the best shooters can’t score free throws! I think in this case, luck was ultimately on Zenit’s side. The UNICS basketball players did a great job, they fought, but something was missing today.
– Does the fact that the decisive match of the series takes place in Kazan give a psychological advantage to UNICS?
– Let’s hope. Game seven is game seven. It’s a battle of nerves, it’s psychology. Because both teams studied each other. And now it is important that there are no sick or injured. In such games, very often everything is not determined by tactical schemes and movements, but by the ability of top basketball players to take control of the game and decide everything at a difficult moment. In a nutshell, Dimitrievich did just that in the home game, he almost single-handedly dragged the attack. Whoever has such a player or players will probably have a better chance of winning.
Another important point: in all matches, players and coaches receive technical fouls that bring both the team and the game out of normal mode. There were several games where everything was broken due to technical problems. So the ability to keep you, no matter what, is also very important. Whistles are different, but that can be discussed later.
For UNICS, its own site is important. Still, we play better at home,” Eremin told a correspondent.
and other holding channels, as well as sites sportbox.ru and matchtv.ru broadcast United League matches live.
