UNICS vs Uralmash. Match of the current VTB League champion with a newcomer to the tournament
On October 19, UNICS in Kazan will host Uralmash from Yekaterinburg. This is a match of the regular championship of the VTB League 2023/24. The game will take place under the dome of the Baskel Hall arena.
The team won the VTB League of the previous convocation. Now she is set to defend her title. So far, Kazan has played only two matches in the new tournament. Here they have strictly victories. First, UNICS beat Lokomotiv from Krasnodar, a finalist in the last season of the VTB United League, at home with a score of 91:73. Then the basketball players from Tatarstan defeated the Belarusians in Minsk without any intrigue (97:49).
So far, the “greens” are the most scoring team in the new tournament. There is an assumption that they will try to confirm this title in the match against Uralmash. Plus, Kazan has the best field goal percentage, which is also important. At the same time, UNICS is still the worst team in the League in making free throws. Plus, the guys from Tatarstan are leaders in assists, rebounds and blocked shots.
Let us note that the team played great in the first two games of the tournament, but none of the club’s basketball players made it into the top five. This point needs to be corrected.
Uralmash
The club makes its debut in the VTB United League. In his first game here, he created a sensation in St. Petersburg, breaking Zenit with a score of 75:70. Then Uralmash lost at home to Runa (78:85), and then to Avtodor on its territory (77:87). In their last match in the tournament, basketball players from Yekaterinburg achieved a positive result in the battle on their territory against the Kuban Loko (84:78).
The start of the season should be considered successful. The main goal of the club is the playoffs of the tournament. At the moment there is a feeling that the team’s plan may well come true. Octavius Ellis made his debut for the team in the match against the Railwaymen. He did it in the best possible way and entered the top five of the tour. The guy scored 24 points in that battle, made eight rebounds, also gave out two assists, made the same number of interceptions and successfully completed a couple of blocked shots. Very cool statistics. Hopefully this was the beginning of a new star in the tournament to shine, and not just a bright flash followed by darkness.
Uralmash is third in the tournament in rebounds, first in assists and sixth in points. In principle, everything is very decent so far.
