Basketball players CSKA in the first match of the VTB United League final they outperformed Kazan UNICS in psychology and ultimately competently took advantage of the opponent’s mistake, Honored Coach of Russia Sergei Elevich told .
The Army team defeated UNICS on Sunday with a score of 96:95. The second match of the series up to four victories will take place in Kazan on May 28.
— I really enjoyed the play of both teams. We had a great match. But here, psychological questions come to the fore. CSKA took a +10 lead during the match, but then UNICS caught up with the army team. And yet, psychologically, they did not break. It is very important.
Of course, Dimitrievich’s mistake also played a very serious role. In vain he made a mistake. Such an experienced player and such a mistake. Just a thug. Maybe it was nervous, but it was impossible to do that. We had to do everything to play the ball and not the opponent’s body. And finally, CSKA wisely took advantage of the UNICS player’s mistake. The army team won with dignity. “I repeat, they looked very good psychologically,” Elevich told .
