Even by leaving VTB League Zalgiris could not avoid meeting with CSKA. Our team hosts friends-opponents in the Game 2 of the Euroleague Top 16…
“We started the Top 16 well with a difficult win in Krasnodar and we need to continue this way,” CSKA head coach Ettore Messina said. “The next game has its special importance because on this stage of the season you primary goal is to protect home court. Zalgiris is an ambitious and enthusiastic teams with a good core of veterans like Jasikevicius, Lavrinovic, Jankunas and excellent point guard Dentmon. They won 5 games in the regular championship so we should not be fooled by their loss to Bayern. We have to be fully prepared and focused.”
The Army Men are practicing in full strength again. Alexander Kaun joined his teammates on Wednesday. Coaches will decide on his playing perspectives after the morning shootaround.
