Minister of Sports of the Republic of Tatarstan Vladimir Leonov in an interview with praised Kazan UNICS with the first ever VTB United League Championship and noted that the team showed a league game in the final.
On Tuesday, UNICS defeated Lokomotiv-Kuban Krasnodar 98:89 in the fifth game of the last qualifying round and became the tournament champion for the first time in history.
– Historic win, amazing season and such a streak! A tough opponent went to Lokomotiv, who knocked out CSKA, and that was also a sensation. Despite the series score being 4-1, every game was intriguing until the final seconds when it was unclear who would win.
Today, with an incredible number of fans – the Basket Hall was full – UNICS gave the Krasnodar team no chance. The team is very good, with a talented coach (Alexander Sekulich). I have to say a huge thank you to them for this fight. They put a nice end and for the first time in history became the champions of the country.
Congratulations to the club, to the whole club system, to the management training system, to the president Evgeny Borisovich Bogachev, who has been leading the club for 25 years. Great joy for such a chic sporting season at UNICS, with a worthy victory. They showed a basketball championship, a championship game. Kudos to UNICS, congratulations to all the fans,” Leonov told a correspondent.
