Before CSKA Semyon Antonov told that the 6th place of the army team in the VTB United League Super Cup was due to the overload of the main team of the team.
On Sunday, the army team lost to Turkish Besiktas in the match for 5th place in the Super Cup – 87:91. The most productive for Muscovites was Casper Ware, who scored 41 points, while Semenov and Tony Dzhekiri scored 12 points each. Earlier, in the match for 7th place, the current national champion UNICS defeated Moscow MBA – 83:64.
— It’s not easy to improve the game when four players out of the starting five leave. Against Besiktas, we lacked aggression before the big break, both defensively and in general. In the second half, we made progress on this point.
— What causes lack of aggression and how to deal with it?
“We’re a little overloaded right now.” The same Ware spends a lot of time on the field, like several other players. There is not enough help from the bench, the aggressiveness of the young people, which would help to breathe. Additionally, all teams have inconsistent games in the preseason. UNICS took 7th place in the Super Cup, MBA scored 19 three-pointers on us yesterday, but today he didn’t show the same. “Zenit” and “Lokomotiv-Kuban” are more stable, but everyone is looking for their game, Antonov told .
The VTB United League Super Cup takes place in Moscow. The tournament is named after Honored Coach of the USSR Alexander Gomelsky. The winner of the previous similar tournament is Zenit.
