Victory over “Uralmash” in the United League, VTB will give basketball players “Lokomotiv-Kuban” confidence before playing “Zenith” said the defender of the Krasnodar team Alexander Shcherbenev .
Lokomotiv beat Uralmash at home on Thursday with a score of 98:73. In the next round, the Krasnodar team will face Zenit in St. Petersburg on December 24.
— Today we managed to take revenge for the defeat against Uralmash in the first round. We were all ready for this match. I would especially like to highlight Dmitry Uzinsky in this match: he scored three times from above and made two blocked shots. Today he energized the team to the max, led it, and we connected and didn’t miss the advantage. In a word, Dima played like a real captain.
This victory should charge us with positivity before a very important match against Zenit. It is, one might say, a game for third place. So we will go to St. Petersburg as prepared as possible. Zenit has a very good team. In the first round, we beat our opponent. It’s clear that they want us more and more, it won’t be easy to play. So now it was a great victory. I think she will give us confidence for the upcoming match,” Shcherbenev told correspondent.
Lokomotiv-Kuban (12 wins, 6 losses) is in fourth place in the standings, Zenit (13 wins, 5 losses) is one line higher.
