Dusan Ivkovic and Victor Alexander expressed their opinion the day before the decisive match of CSKA in Euroleague Top 16 vs Efes Pilsen (Turkey).
Dusan Ivkovic:
Efes Pilsen is a very good team with a very good coach. They
do not playwith big scores, preferring to control the game at the level of 70 points. Theyhave a very balanced team and in the game in Istanbul we stopped Kambala, a center and a very high-percentage shooter. But for us, Granger was a surprise. He and Brown together scored 45 points and that was thereason why we lost the game. I think now our team is absolutely ready. We know how to play. I think this game is a good oportunity for ourteam. After the difficult situation for us in the Russian Cup final gamethe team is in a good situation, good condition and good shape. We haveone big problem, that Darius Songaila caught a cold and at this moment thesituation looks like he is not ready to play. I expect a big gameand big help of our fans.
Victor Alexander:
It is probably one of the biggest games we have played
this season. Ithink everybody is feeling good, though Songaila is a bit sick. They beatus at home but now we are at home. The team hopes to play well and is readyto win.
