VTB League game in Kaunas on Sunday will feature two teams yet undefeated in Europe. Zalgiris and CSKA will play twice – with veteran and main teams.
Kaunas fans are lucky to see two games in one package: before the game of main teams they will see the legends game with several famous players from the 80s and 90s participating. The comfortable Transaero charter plane took two star rosters to Lithuania. Anatoly Myshkin made some fun of this asking coach Messina to add him to the main team. Taking into account injury problems (Erceg and Voronov are out) Italian did not refuse immediately.
“Zalgiris plays probably the best basketball in Europe now”, - CSKA head coach Ettore Messina said. “They beat strong teams like Caja Laboral and Olympiakos in away games so it will be difficult for us. We have to match their aggressiveness and intensity, especially on their floor.”
