On Sunday, Mindaugas Kuzminskas will start a duel in the VTB United League with Zenit St. Petersburg represented by his friend Artūras Gudaitis. The team led by Xavi Pascual is a leader in the Russian Open and also shows solidity in the Euroleague tournament.
Speaking about the upcoming matchup, Lithuanian from Krasnodar Lokomotiv highlighted Zenit’s strength and the club’s potential to become one of the top four teams in the Euroleague this season.
“This season is intense, all teams would like to have more time to prepare, but they all work under the same conditions,” said Kuzminskas. – In the last game with Partizan in Belgrade we did a good job on defense, so we must continue to do so. We must play aggressively and as concentrated as possible.
The Zenit team looks great, so vulnerabilities are quite difficult to find. This season they have put together a good lineup, with several experienced players at each position. The Saint Petersburg team plays solidly not only in the United League, but also in the Euroleague, where it is one of the main candidates to play in the semi-finals. In the duel with them, we will have to show our best game, energy and fight for each ball ”.
Zenit have won 13 Euroleague matches in 21 rounds and are currently in sixth place. Due to the confusing COVID-19 schedule, the Russian team has played two fewer games so far, they were postponed to February.
Lokomotiv is fourth in 14 rounds in the United League with 9 wins. Zenit, with a win / loss ratio of 11-1, is the championship leader.
The confrontation of these teams will begin on Sunday from 4.30 pm.
