For the second time this season, our team traveled to Krasnoyarsk for another VTB United League game…
Confidently in the playoff spot
Jovica Arsic's team is confidently following its schedule, aiming to secure a spot in the top eight. In January, Krasnoyarsk side won three straight games, including a win over Lokomotiv-Kuban, and only last week did their streak end with a loss to Uralmash, a neighbor in the standings.
The Siberians' offense is one of the most balanced in the league. Five players are scoring in double figures, and of these, only Danilo Tasić, who earned a spot in the All-Star Game, stands out (15.2 points, 6.2 rebounds). Dominick Artis (11.7 points), Dmitriy Sonko (10.8 points, 41% three-point shooting), Yegor Ryzhov (10.8 points, 6.0 rebounds), and Matt Coleman (10.5 points, 4.9 assists, 36.1% three-point shooting) provide significant support.
Extra serious
"In my opinion, our opponent is currently playing their best basketball of the season,” CSKA head coach Andreas Pistiolis said. “This is evident both in their results and in the quality of their play. Besides, Enisey always looks stronger on their home court. Therefore, we need to approach this game extra seriously if we want to continue our winning streak."
The Army Men worked in Krylatskoye for two days with their full roster, including Ivan Ukhov, who suffered a hamstring injury in the game against Zenit. The team flew to Krasnoyarsk on an Aeroflot charter flight with 13 players—the younger players, Ivan Zaitsev and Daniil Klyuchenkov, stayed home. The red-and-blues managed to escape Moscow before the next snowstorm, but in distant Krasnoyarsk, temperatures of -27 degrees Celsius awaited them.
