PRE-GAME QUOTES

Dusko Ivanovic, BC Khimki head coach:

“Now it's semifinal and all four teams are very strong. Everybody has options for a win, but the most important thins is to believe and fight. This year Zenit has been playing really very well; they have excellent fast breaks, offensive rebounds, transition, good shooters. Markovic is excellent on a controlling the game. He is a very smart player. Markovic and Karasev are probably two main important players in Zenit. They are very good in transitions and very fast. We must play our rhythm and try to slow them”.
