UNICS vs Zenit. Game 5 preview
Opponent
The trip to St. Petersburg ended in failure for Kazan — two losses in two meetings. While the first game ended in a rout (103:74), in the second, the opponent managed to come back from a deficit and drag Zenit into a clutch finish (81:77).
The best players for UNICS in the previous match were the duo of Bingham and Reynolds, who together scored 34 points. There is no doubt that the main threat will come from this pair again tomorrow.
Head-to-head
The series record is 3-1. Zenit has two games in hand to advance to the final stage of the tournament without needing a deciding match. But — and there is no doubt about this — we are playing for the win tomorrow!
Direct speech
Blue-White-Sky Blues head coach Dejan Radonjić shared his thoughts ahead of the game and addressed the fans:
Fifth game against UNICS. We have to be again one more time ready for the tough and physical game, to play with good energy, with good enough focus. So we analyze the last two games, we'll talk one more time before the game about our plan and to go there to give our maximum. We'll be happy to see every Zenit fan in the stands in Kazan, but I also invite everyone to the fan zone at the Basketball Academy. We need your support!
