CSKA junor team has hold three friendly game before the start of the Junior Basketball League. Army players won all three games in a row.
We asked the head coach of the team Sergey Bazarevic to tell us about these games and about future plans:
We wanted to modulate the first tour of the Junior League, that is why we played three games in a row and won all of them. We played two games on a very good level, but I am not satisfied with the game against Dynamo. My players were not enough active and agressive. We practically won this game but let the opponent to put it into fifht additional quarter. That is good, that we could show our character and win.
We had a very serious talk after it. And now I can say that the game against Khimki was the best game while I am working in the team. We played against this team in September and lost. Now we wanted to win very much and made it.
Ivan Gusev was looking like good in this series. He have not enough technical requirements, but he can become Russian Rodman. Alexey Marchenko has shown his self good. Anatoly Kashirob was good in all three games. And I hope that young players from the main squad of CSKA can join to us in serious hard games. They will have enough playing time to show their self after good practices with Dusan Ivkovic.
And individually I want to say about Artur Urazmanov. We have not many Russian playmakers now, so we have big hopes with this players. He has very good potential and talent. This season Artur was chosen as a captain of the junior team. I am very glad that after the talk after the game against Dynamo Uramanov understood it right.
