Heat of the season

There would be no opponent of such a level for our team this season. 'Difficult to study, easy to fight', - CSKA remembers Suvorov's saying and the team is anxious to face Miami Heat in the first game of the Euroleague American Tour.

CSKA held 2-hour practice on a renewed floor of American Airlines Arena on Monday. Heat scouting staff was allowed to see the team play and Moscow team's young guys during the session. Sasha Kaun and Andrey Vorontsevich practiced with no restrictions as Victor Khryapa continued to work individually.

"Miami collected the team of the stars this summer, - CSKA head coach Dusko Vujosevic said. It will be interesting to test ourselves in a game like this. I think it is an honor for us to be chosen to participate in this game. CSKA history knows a number of important and prestigious games but this one is still special. Surely, Miami is the favorite but we have no complexes. That will be great expirience for us because if you want to become a champion, you have to learn to play against a champion."
