UNICS Head Coach Velimir Perasovich said victory in the VTB United League was a great achievement for the Kazan club.
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.
– It’s a great success! First of all, I would like to congratulate my players, the technical staff, the supporters, and especially the Bogachev family (Evgeny Bogachev is the president of UNICS – editor’s note). Because it is a great success for the whole club. I hope we can repeat it in the future. The VTB League is a very strong championship. It was won by Khimki, CSKA dominated the competition for a long time, last year Zenit became the winners. In competition with clubs that have a very big budget, it is extremely difficult to become the first.
Glad we did! The key to the final was the second game at home, which we almost lost, but we fought until the end and managed to tie the score in the series. After that, I knew that if we managed to win one of the two matches in Krasnodar, then we would have a chance to win the title. But we won twice and today we no longer had the right to lose in front of our fans! – quotes the words of the Perasovich press service of the United League.
Last season’s VTB United League matches were broadcast by the Match family channels.
