CSKA guard Casper Ware said in an interview with that one of the reasons for their VTB United League semi-final loss was inflated self-esteem.
spring CSKA lost to Krasnodar Lokomotiv-Kuban in seven matches of the semi-final series and lost the opportunity to fight for the VTB League championship. Later, the Muscovites defeated the “Zenith” of St. Petersburg in six matches in the series for the bronze medals.
– It’s hard to name a single reason for the playoff strain, several factors worked against us. In the coming season, we must use this experience as a turning point. It’s important to understand that no matter how the regular season goes, the playoffs start over. I think we are now aware of that, but last year it seems that is not the case. We approach the decisive stage with the feeling of being the first, as if everything had already been decided. Lokomotiv just played harder, wanted to win more. And he achieved his goal,” Ware told .
Ware joined CSKA in March 2022, before that he played for Krasnoyarsk Enisey. In 65 official matches since played for the army team (62 as a starter), the American leader has spent an average of 26 minutes on the pitch and scored 13.3 points.
