A little bit more than half a year ago after the VTB United League Final Four our team will meet the same opponent in the same tournament. Ukrainian Azovmash visits Moscow.
“I remember the last season’s United League semifinal very well, and we had problems in those game,” - CSKA head coach Jonas Kazlauskas said. “In my opinion Azovmash has become even stronger this year, started to play more organized, disciplined game. We should focus to be able to play as well as in Zagreb, both on offense and defense, not to look back at the opponents’ level, to try to improve in many aspects.”
Army men do not have seriously injured and ill players. 12 players on the roster will be named after morning shootaround.
