Kushchenko on the VTB United League All-Star Game: “This year it was clear that the guys wanted to win”

President of the VTB United League Sergei Kushchenko told that he saw motivated teams during the league’s All-Star Game.

On Sunday, Javier Pascual’s team won the VTB United League all-star match, which took place in Moscow at the VTB Arena. Pascual’s players beat Emil Rajkovic’s team with a score of 134:120 (31:28, 35:31, 24:32, 44:29). The winners received 3 million rubles.

— Generally, if something doesn’t work, we try to hide it from the public. A lot of the details that were planned didn’t work out – that’s good and bad. What didn’t work now can be improved and shown in the next All-Star Game.

Offering some kind of bonus to the team in case of victory gave it its juice; basketball was gentler that year. This year it was clear that the guys wanted to win. There were some very beautiful moments, a lot of strong moments so that we could exploit them ourselves. In the last quarters, the basketball was quite tight, the speed was high. Yes, there were times when a player went off beautifully, but the defenders didn’t defend. Basically both teams wanted to win,” Kushchenko told .
