Unbelievably hot semifinal series of previous VTB United League playoffs is not forgotten yet. The fans expect to see more passion this season. Just another chapter opens up on Sunday.
“This is a classic matchup against a very strong opponent who leads our group,” CSKA head coach Ettore Messina said. “We played some memorable games last season. I think the game will be difficult again especially after we gave a lot of energy to the game against Barcelona. Still we want to continue to show the same quality basketball.”
Victor Khryapa is still questionable for the game. As Ettore Messina mentioned during recent press conference, CSKA is not going to force the captain’s return but hopes to see him back on the floor soon.
