UNICS vs Lokomotiv-Kuban. Here it all starts over again for the third time
UNICS in Kazan will compete with Lokomotiv from Krasnodar. The match will take place on May 16 as part of the fifth battle of the teams in the semi-finals of the VTB United League. The confrontation will take place on the parquet floor of the Basket Hall sports complex. The score in the series at the moment is 2:2.
The guys from Tatarstan were considered the couple's favorites before the start of the current series, which began at their home. They won the first match, but not too confidently; then UNICS was badly beaten by their opponents in Kazan. Then the “greens” lost in Krasnodar. UNICS managed to count the fourth match, which took place in Kuban, as an asset. The balance in the series has been restored, but the competition with the “locomotives” is becoming as difficult as possible.
Now we need to get ahead within our own walls. This is difficult to do, since the opponent is very courageous. He always believes in himself and is the best team in the VTB League in terms of crazy comebacks.
In the fourth match of the series against Loko, which went to the advantage of UNICS, its lineup did an excellent job: Nenad Dimitrievich (20 points, six assists and four steals), Jalen Reynolds (18 points in attack, six rebounds, plus three blocked shots ), Louis Laberie (13 points into the opponent's hoop and ten collected goals on the board), Marcos Knight and Eric Green (both had 11 points).
Lokomotiv-Kuban
The opening game of the series was lost in Kazan, but the “railroad workers” were close to pulling it out in the end. Then Loko won powerfully in Tatarstan. The opponent was deprived of the advantage of his floor. The third game of the pair in Krasnodar was left to the home team. After this, the “steam locomotives” were seen as the favorites of the competition. UNICS proved that this was not the case in the fourth match of the pair, winning away.
Now everything has to start all over again. Loko lost the last match against Kazan. In that battle he showed terrible accuracy. It was not the day of the Kuban people. Everything flew past, especially from behind the arc. Why did it happen so? It is unknown, but if it is due to a lack of strength, then this is sad, since this problem may worsen further, but one should not make hasty conclusions in this regard.
The last match of the series against UNICS was lost, but there was something good in it for the Krasnodar team. In this match, the locomotives stood out: Jaylen Burford (16 points in the opponent’s basket), DeVon Akun-Purcell and Patrick Miller (both had 15 points), as well as Andrey Martyuk (six points in attack and 13 rebounds).
