Quote

Xavi Pascual, Zenit BC Head Coach:

We know that in any case it will be our last game at home with our fans. We also understand that this will be a very difficult meeting. That’s why we have to put all our efforts into this wonderful home atmosphere that our fans create in order to compete and increase our chances of winning.

Sergey Karasev, Zenit BC Forward:

It was worth that we gave our all our strength in the fifth game. The problem is still not worked out. Now, in front of our fans, we need to thank them for being with us all season. We need to step over ourselves and show all our skills to move the series back to Moscow. Now we’ve sorted out all the details, but after so many games, it’s the little things that will decide everything.
