The schedule makes the Army Men working with no days off: the team returned from Berlin after the win against Alba on Saturday morning and in the evening it had a videosession and shooting practice. Nando De Colo and Demetris Nichols continue to work individually, Victor Khryapa still rehabilitates in Athens.
“We just played two away games in a row and we play three games in a busy next week which makes us adjust to the schedule,” CSKA head coach Dimitris Itoudis said. “We start from Enisey, the team which we respect a lot, and we began our preparations right after return from Berlin. Krasnoyarsk team likes to run in the open court and its game is based on creativity of point guards Cooper and Sergeev. I know Cooper from NBA Summer League and his year in Greece, he always has high numbers of assists. Sergeev is a good long-range shooter. White is one of their leaders and other wings like Pavlov and Kolesnikov are also very dangerous. The opponents try to pass the ball inside to Perovic and Kikanovic and they have good stretch fours who help their system. I would like to ask our fans to come and support us in this game.”
