EXCHANGE OF OPINIONS
Vadim Panin, BC Khimki forward:
— Azovmash is a good team that has claims to the United League VTB Final Four entrance. Undoubtedly, the game will be tough. Fans' support is a great factor for each team that playes at home. Our aim is to keep up the game's plan and play at our full potential. In that case we'll manage to improve our position in the group.
Oleg Meleschenko, BC Khimki acting head coach:
— We'll play with one of the leaders of Ukrainian basketball. Azovmash's participation in Eurocups is a confirmation to my words. The players are experienced, they show smart and qualitative game. If you want me to name the Azovmash leaders I'll have to list practically all the roster. Rapid and aggressive basketball and the stands' support will provide interesting and breathtaking struggle.
