For Kazan UNICS and Krasnodar “Lokomotiv-Kuban” The seventh match of the VTB United League semi-final series will be akin to a golden match, the assistant to the president of the Kazan club, Honored Coach of Russia, told . Stanislav Eremin .
The seventh match of the semi-finals will take place on May 22 in Kazan. The game starts at 19:00 (Moscow time). The series score is 3 to 3.
“It seems to me that we are approaching this match in a not entirely equal situation. A series of injuries – first to players not in the starting roles, and now to those in the main team – has significantly reduced the resources of our team. This is why a heavy burden now weighs on our leaders.
In principle, both teams have now analyzed each other’s game in depth. I don’t think anyone could be surprised by anything here. Everything will depend on the performance of the players in such a difficult situation. Because this is essentially a “golden” match. After all, it is here that it is decided whether you will continue to fight for gold or play a consolation series for third place. Therefore, you must do everything you can. And a little more through “I can’t”.
As for Lokomotiv, in my opinion they are playing with a slightly expanded squad. And the fact that they were reinforced by two American players added power to their attack. And look: one match is successfully played by one leader, and another by another. In other words, it is more difficult for UNICS to build protective redoubts.
As for our team, I repeat, our leaders are now under a lot of pressure. Now, in my opinion, a lot will depend on how Laberie, Green, who plays with an injury, Knight, who does not play very well in matches, will play, and how the Russian basketball players of the team, whose Dima Kulagin. , gone happen. Of course, a lot depends on Dimitrievich and Reynolds. Willpower now takes over. Such matches are a serious test for every basketball player,” Eremin told .
