UNICS vs Lokomotiv-Kuban. Russian Basketball Leaders Match
UNICS will host Lokomotiv Kuban on October 23 as part of the 2022/23 VTB United League regular season. The game will take place on the floor of the Basket Hall arena in Kazan.
Kazan is one of two teams in the VTB United League 202/23 that are undefeated after four played matches. Only the capital's CSKA can boast of a similar achievement. UNICS has the best point difference in the tournament (+121) and a victory over the current champion of the competition (Zenith).
Perasovich is a great mentor. UNICS lost its main backbone stars in the course of last season, but Kazan, as if, have not become weaker and are building an almost new team. The coach has talked about this many times. He believes in his new players and considers them to be the best UNICS could sign in the current situation. Also, the mentor does not deny the fact that Kazan will still need time to grind, so some unpleasant surprises are possible, although not necessary.
Lokomotiv-Kuban
In the last VTB United League, the southerners were left without medals (fourth place), although they moved well in the tournament. It turns out that the result is more negative than positive. This season we need to work on improvement. It will not be easy, as Lokomotiv has lost its big stars. Yes, the Kuban made new signings in order to cover the positions of those who left, but so far there are questions.
In four matches of the VTB United League, the "railroad workers" took two victories (with PARMA in overtime and with Samara). In other meetings they lost to CSKA and MBA. You can still bury your eyes on the defeat from the "army team", but not on the loss from the newcomer of the tournament. This is already overkill. It is necessary to draw urgent conclusions and carry out emergency work on the mistakes, as the season is already gaining momentum.
