Lokomotiv-Kuban is a very troublesome adversary for CSKA VTB United League general director Ilona Korstin told .
Lokomotiv-Kuban defeated CSKA in the VTB United League regular season match on Sunday (91:88) and broke the army team’s nine-match unbeaten streak. According to Korstin, the railroad workers beat the military team due to a higher percentage of long-range shots, as well as a rebounding advantage.
— Games like today are the highlight of the season. The game was bright, interesting and in the end everything was decided in a tense ending, where Loko players were more successful. The fans really like these matches. It is important to note that the leader changed several times during the meeting. It is interesting that before the match against Loko, CSKA had not lost a single match this season, and Krasnodar was in 8th place. Today the situation has changed somewhat. This victory was very important for Loko – thanks to it, the railway workers have already climbed to 6th place.
Note that Lokomotiv is still very motivated against CSKA. Last season, Loko managed to beat the Army team in the semi-finals. It seems to me that the team’s players and coaches still remember the feeling after that playoff victory, and it motivates them. It is clear that Lokomotiv is a very uncomfortable team for the army team.
After the Super Cup, CSKA improved a lot and started playing more as a team and more cohesively. All this continued until the match with Lokomotiv. In today’s match they were no longer able to show the play we had seen during the season. Today, Loko attacked well from long distance and acted confidently on the rebound, especially in attack (12-6 in favor of Loko). The visitors’ three-pointers were flying from any position today. This was especially noticeable at the beginning of the match, when Loko scored 7 long-range shots in a row.
Today’s match and the victory of the Krasnodar team over CSKA only confirm that we have a very interesting and unpredictable championship,” Korstin told .
