A successful start to the final series with UNICS on the opponent’s pitch is extremely important for Lokomotiv-Kuban in psychological terms, the Krasnodar defender told Alexander Chcherbenev .
Lokomotiv-Kuban defeated Kazan on Saturday with a score of 88:76. The second game of the final series up to four wins will take place in Kazan on May 8. Watch the live broadcast on the channel, sportbox.ru and matchtv.ru websites at 2:30 p.m. Moscow time.
– UNICS played well at home in the semi-finals, while Loko played away. This time you continued your tradition, but the adversary broke.
— Yes, this is the first defeat for UNICS in the home playoffs, and I hope it won’t be the last. A very important victory for us, because today they didn’t show the best basketball. But to the detriment of the defense, we managed to take this victory, scored the necessary shots. Psychologically, it is extremely important to seize the advantage early in the series. We are happy to have won, but everything has only just begun, and with an opponent like UNICS, a victory means nothing. There is a whole series to come, we have to rest and analyze the mistakes that were made in this game.
What are these errors in the first place?
– I lost the ball a lot. Of course, because they defend themselves aggressively. But even after CSKA, we have to reorganize a bit. However, UNICS has a slightly different system. While the teams are aiming and watching what can be used to win,” Shcherbenev told a correspondent.
