Today CSKA, L.A.Clippers and BC Khimki held the press conference in the Red Army Museum in Moscow. It was the part of the presentation of the games in Moscow of the NBA Europe Live Tour presented by EA Sports. CSKA would set the record of the tour by playing four games in it, more than any other team. Two of them against Khimki and the Clippers would be held in Moscow, the other two – in the final of the tournament in Cologne.
The first speaker for the press conference was CSKA president Sergei Kuschenko:
- Today we present the event we have been waiting for a long time. We tried to welcome Utah Jazz to Moscow but as you might know for several reasons the game was cancelled. Now we became the part of more ambitious project that includes games in five different countries. It was not easy to organize the game but I hope that every supporter who would visit any of the games would have a chance to enjoy the real show and would have an opportunity to understand what it means to rest at the sports event.
CSKA head coach Ettore Messina said almost all of his words in Russian: I am glad I have an opportunity to say ‘Welcome to Moscow to our friends from the Clippers. I am glad to represent CSKA, Euroleague and Italian basketball at the event’.
