A final flight to Tallinn15 march 2011
On Tuesday evening the BC Khimki delegation arrived in Tallinn, where tomorrow our team will play the last VTB United Cup group B game with Estonian Kalev/Cramo. The beginning of the meeting is at 19.45 Moscow time.
EXCHANGE OF OPINIONS
Raul Lopez:
— BC Kalev is a very young and talented team that playes hard and aggressively. The game in Estonia won't be an easy walk for us — the players want to do all their best to finish the group stage of VTB United League with dignity. As for us we must be concentrated during all the 40 minutes, not to relax and go all out. Moreover it's time to forget about all the negative things and our misfortunes. A victory is also important from the point of view of the final standings in our group because Zalgiris is close on the heels of BC Khimki — if it wons Azovmash it will have only one loss beyond us. Baltic basketball is developing from year to year: a lot of coaches work abroad. I was in Tallinn once or twice, I like travelleng and if I have free time I'll explore this city with pleasure.
