UNICS Head Coach Velimir Perasović said that a large number of mistakes determined the result of the final of the pre-season tournament against Zenit, and also expressed hope that the defender Dmitry Kulagin will be the team leader during the season.
On Saturday, UNICS lost to Zenit in the final match of the Kondrashin and Belov Cup. The meeting in St. Petersburg ended with a score of 82:77 in favor of the home team.
— I would like to congratulate Zenit on their victory in this pre-season tournament. It was a close match, the teams played evenly, but a lot of our mistakes decided the outcome. I hope this is just a preparation phase and that we will approach the Super Cup in better shape.
If you are successful, many teams want to sign players who have achieved this success.
It is difficult to draw conclusions now. For example, Green only played one game before we could evaluate him.
The Russians came to the team, they must acclimatize and understand the philosophy of our basketball. We are counting on Dmitry Kulagin in terms of leadership qualities,” Perasovich said, as quoted by the correspondent.
UNICS signed a contract with Kulagin in June. The deal with the Euroleague champion and three-time VTB United League winner is for two years. Kulagin has been playing for Zenit since 2021. Last season in the VTB United League, the basketball player scored 6.6 points, made 1.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 19.5 minutes on average on the floor.
