Andre Roberson: "It’s far from over"

A statement from Zenit forward Andre Roberson ahead of Game 4 of the VTB United League semifinal against UNICS. Come support the Blue-White-Sky Blues at their home game — tickets are on sale!

— First and foremost, I thought we came out and responded well as a team, going out and delivering the first hit. And I think a lot of that started from our fans and the precedent of them coming to show up and pack out the stadium, and us just feeding off the energy from the jump. I think our guys responded well throughout the game.

But seriously, it's far from over. It's 2-1. Like I said, it's not the first of two games; it's the first of four. And we've got to go out there and kind of put this last game in the past and reset ourselves to go out there and do it all over again. So we know what we have in terms of the task at hand: to go out there and execute this next game. And if we do that, we'll put ourselves in a great position.

But we know they're gonna come out and fight hard. Especially, you've got to take their first hit of them responding to how Game 3 ended, so Game 4 is gonna be huge for us, and it's gonna be do or die. So we've got to come prepared, take care of home court, and take care of our fans who come out and support us hard.
