Hitherto little-known Nymburk brought rustle into Russian basketball, depriving Khimki the chance to play in the Euroleague. The Czech team arrived in Moscow today to compete against CSKA Moscow in VTB United League game tomorrow.
"Nymburk is a special team”, - CSKA head coach Jonas Kazlauskas said. – “Czech club does not have a true center, and preaches quick basketball, fast ball movement, good shooting from the perimeter, frequent use of pressure on defense. This is a dangerous opponent and Khimki felt it, losing to the qualifications of the Euroleague. Spartak St. Petersburg also had to fight through three quarters of close game. Obviously, our main task will be to stay focused throughout the game, to use our strengths correctly and confidently."
It can be said definitely that Darius Lavrinovic will miss the game. It is decided to give time for the treatment of back pain to Lithuanian veteran. The names of the other two players who will be left off the roster will be announced on the game day.
