CSKA vs Lokomotiv-Kuban. True Basketball Drama
CSKA will host Lokomotiv Kuban on the first day of the last month of spring in the decisive match of the 2022/23 VTB United League semifinal series. The game will take place on the basketball floor of the Megasport Arena multifunctional sports complex in Moscow.
There is no trace left of the dominance of the "soldiers" in the VTB United League 2022/23. "Railwaymen" lowered Muscovites from heaven to earth. It is possible that this was required by CSKA. Now the Red-Blues are as concentrated as possible and angry in a sporting way. In principle, the right attitude to the final. That's right, but you still have to get there.
CSKA plays the final match of the series against Loko in front of the native audience. This moment can be considered an advantage, but not obvious. The opponent believes in his strength, and now he has absolutely nowhere to retreat. On paper, the “soldiers” are better than the southerners, but this is theory, but in practice we have 3:3 in a series of up to four wins.
In the sixth game, the Muscovites destroyed Krasnodar on the road. It was a revealing moment. CSKA, which was one step away from losing the series, broke the opponent on its territory without any problems. This is how class and experience win over the sporting arrogance and ambitions of the underdogs (with all due respect to the “railroad workers”).
Lokomotiv-Kuban
If someone, before the start of the playoffs of the VTB United League 2022/23, would say that Krasnodar would drag CSKA into the seventh match of the series in the semifinals, then such a statement would cause laughter. Loko improved a lot in the knockout games. The team is one step away from the finals, but it is the same time before the battle for third place. The decisive match is played in Moscow. It seems that Loko is now as excited as possible by the whole squad. Bad, but this is due to the lack of experience, which will undoubtedly be acquired in this series and will be useful in the future, which for the southerners looks promising in terms of basketball.
What can the "locomotives" expect in the decisive game against the favorite? On yourself and the opponent's mistakes, which may not be at all. The hardest exit is expected, but there is nowhere to retreat. Here you need to give absolutely all your strength. The style does not need to be changed. We must continue to play our bold and productive basketball.
