The seven-game semi-final playoff series of the VTB United League with Krasnodar Lokomotiv-Kuban won the basketball players UNICS a lot of strength, but for the final confrontation with CSKA the team approaches in a combative atmosphere, the president of the Kazan club told Yevgeny Bogachev .
The final series of up to four victories begins on May 26 in Kazan. The game starts at 4:30 p.m.
— UNICS played seven games in the semifinals and they wore us out really well. The match was balanced and we were a bit lucky because the seventh game was at home and not away. Still, the walls and viewers at home help. It’s a psychological factor.
I repeat, we are exhausted, but the atmosphere is joyful. We dreamed of meeting CSKA in the final. The army team has a top team. Their style of play is a bit like ours: self-controlled, intelligent. We can’t say it’s physical. In the semi-final, our player’s nose was broken and he had bruises. The opposing basketball players sometimes played roughly.
CSKA has a good selection of players and a competent coach. This is evident from the way he played the game in the series with Zenit. So it won’t be easy, the luckiest and the strongest will win.
We have a little extra: the two opening matches of the series will take place in Kazan. There is a long and intense series ahead, where anything can happen,” Bogachev told .
Watch the live broadcast of the first match of the final series on Sunday from 16:00 on the channel, as well as on the websites matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
