Forward “Paris Nizhny Novgorod” Andrei Vorontsevich in a conversation with , he emphasized that in the upcoming VTB United League All-Star Match the priority for him will not be the result, but the feeling of celebration, and also said that despite his participation in the basketball show, he played the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Russian Cup with “Rune”.
The United League All-Star Game will take place on February 18 at the VTB Arena. The teams of Emil Rajkovic and Javier Pascual will meet on the site. Vorontsevich will play for Raikovich’s team. The second leg of the quarterfinals of the Russian Cup “Paris NN” – “Runa” will take place in Nizhny Novgorod on February 17. The first match ended in a victory for the Nizhny Novgorod team with a score of 88:79.
— Do you know Raikovich and his demands?
— We know each other, but I haven’t worked with him yet. I only know his system from scouting when we played against his teams. And then, when he was at Avtodor and when he managed CSKA. So it will be interesting to work with him during the next All-Star Game and listen to his instructions. I’m glad you chose me to join your team. Let’s chat and get to know each other better.
He is one of the best coaches in the United League. The opinion is therefore only the most positive. CSKA does not hire unqualified specialists.
— How strong is your team and what advantages do you have over Pascual’s team?
— The two teams are balanced. Everything will depend on the players. And here and there are gathered some of the best basketball players in our championship. The game will show who is stronger. But above all it will be a spectacle for the public. And the most important thing here is to show a spectacular game and stay alive and healthy. So I wish all the players a good match and that everyone stays healthy.
— In other words, the result does not have a super-primary significance?
– Well, no one wants to lose. But he is not as important here as in United League championship matches. We understand this is a basketball vacation for all fans. I am sure that, as in previous All-Star Games, we will show spectacular basketball with many magnificent elements.
— “Paris NN” will organize a match for the Russian Cup with “Runa” one day before the All-Star Game. Will you participate in this game or will you already leave the team venue and start preparing for the show?
— Of course, I will play the Russian Cup match. Busy schedule? Well, there’s nothing you can do here. Everything is fine. I will try to recover as much as possible. I hope the force comes for the All-Star Game. The festive atmosphere will contribute to this. Immediately after the match against Runa, I fly to Moscow. Luckily we have a game in the afternoon. “I have to recover,” Vorontsevich told the correspondent.
