CSKA vs Zenit. Will the "soldiers" become champions of the VTB United League?
The final series of the VTB United League is nearing its logical conclusion, both teams are doing their best and trying to demonstrate the optimal level of play. The obvious advantage is on the side of CSKA Moscow, which won three victories and leads the series - 3-1.
The "soldiers" demonstrate that they do not experience much resistance within the League, they are too much superior to all opponents in the speed of decision-making, the use of their chances and individual skill. They approach the home meeting with the most comfortable advantage, so they should not experience any special moral pressure. The team will try to resolve all issues already in the upcoming match, so as not to drag out the fight for the title, not to waste extra strength and emotions. Zenith gives up the last of his strength on the floor and acts with great desire, but even this is not enough for the final victory. It’s impossible to close completely “own” matches, stupid mistakes fail at the most key moment. Therefore, the emotional state of basketball players frankly leaves much to be desired. On May 30, the fifth fight of the series will take place, which can dot the i's.
CSKA looks just great and proves its dominance in Russia with a very convincing final. Right now, the team has a handicap of two wins, which, in terms of their experience and skill, simply should not be squandered. The Moscow "CSKA" competently select tactics and strategy of the game for almost every match. At the right moment, the individual skill of the performers is also connected, who shoot bright moments.
The final "buzzer-bitter" in the last match can finally put an end to the hopes of the club from St. Petersburg, but it's too early to relax. The team definitely wants to put a beautiful end in front of their audience. In addition, Aleksey Shved burns with the desire to improve, who in the previous match committed the silliest fifth foul and almost let his partners down. Now he wants to demonstrate that this was just an unfortunate accident.
Zenit
Zenit had just experienced an emotional outburst and began to look convincing. But then a most offensive defeat followed, which could finally finish him off. It is very painful to yield in front of the native audience, and that's exactly how it is. First, the team bounced back in the last seconds of normal time, then saved the first overtime. But the second five minutes still went to the opponent's piggy bank. The club from St. Petersburg, a moment before the final siren, led the score, but allowed the winning throw to be made.
It will be almost impossible to recover from this. At the same time, basketball players were definitely on the brink of an abyss. Now they need to turn on to the maximum, since any next misfire will be fatal. A wounded beast is doubly dangerous, so there is no doubt that the players will give their last strength and emotions.
