Before “Astana” Valery Likhodey told that he had a hunch that Lokomotiv Kuban And UNICS become finalists in the VTB United League.
On Tuesday, UNICS Kazan beat Zenit (80:79) in the seventh game of the VTB United League semi-final series and reached the final, where they will meet Lokomotiv-Kuban, who had previously beaten the CSKA in the seven-game series. .
– I said a few days ago that it would be interesting to see such an ending. I felt that Loko and UNICS would become finalists. Last year, he said Zenit would win the league. And it happened. And this time, the premonitions came true. What is this? Intuition or professional vision? Probably a combination of the two. And yet, during the season, we still followed the teams and it was clear who arrived at the end in what form. But, of course, at the end of the series already somewhere and the luck factor decided something. No one was particularly interested in strategy anymore: purely personalities played out in the end… But, of course, I still have a good intuition. There was the octopus Paul, and me, probably, so you can call the octopus Valera (laughs).
But, of course, again, I really wanted to have such an ending. I think Loko and UNICS deserve it. And basketball fans deserve to see something new and interesting. It seems to me that many supported that, ”the basketball player told the correspondent.
The first two games of the final series will take place in Kazan on May 6 and 8.
