Mikhail Belenitsky: "Each of us has an exceptional attitude towards the matches with MBA-MAI."

      UNICS forward Mikhail BELENITSKY – on expectations from the first round of the VTB United League playoffs against MBA-MAI and the strengths of the Moscow team:

      – We are in great spirits ahead of the start of the quarterfinal series. We are focused solely on victory. Injured players are returning to the lineup, so we are training almost at full strength. Everyone is in good shape, well-rested. The most interesting part of the season – the playoffs – is starting. Each of us has an exceptional mindset for the upcoming matches. The main strength of MBA-MAI, in my opinion, is their mobility. The opponents have good Russian players who know what they want, as well as an experienced coach. The Muscovites play fast basketball, take a lot of shots, and their leaders hit three-pointers at a high percentage. I think these components make the guests particularly dangerous. We are trying to focus on this in our recent practices. It is important not to give MBA-MAI opportunities to break away because they play very dynamically, and with combinations and good ball movement, they create situations for their shooters to take open shots. We will try to simplify our task on defense and stay closer to the opponents to avoid leaving them space.
