After sunny Krasnodar our team took direct flight to rainy Riga where it will face VEF in VTB League game.
“It’s not going to be easy because we play in less than 48 hours after tough battle in Krasnodar and we are still without Sasha Kaun,” CSKA head coach Ettore Messina said. “VEF is a well-organized team which can attack you with a variety of options. We have to defend their pick-n-rolls well and remember that they are among VTB League leaders in rebounding.”
Army men stayed in hotel in Krasnodar for the night and boarded Transaero charter flight around noon. Still the same 13 players went to Latvian capitol. Alexander Kaun continues his rehab in Moscow and Alexander Gudumak works out with junior team.
