PRE-GAME QUOTES

Andrey Maltsev, Khimki Moscow Region interim head coach:

“This is our last game in the EuroLeague, and we will make every effort to show a good game. Anton Ponkrashov has returned to the roster, but we lost Jordan Mickey because of injury. This is a serious loss because we objectively lack the big guys. We will try to slow down Olympiacos because they are very strong in fast basketball. Their strength is a quick transition from defense to offense. They have good scorers like Vezenkov, who is spending his best season. Sloukas and Spanoulis don't require any introductions, nor does Printezis with its famous shot. So, they are a balanced team with a good coach who knows how to win the EuroLeague”.

Sergey Karasev, Khimki Moscow Region forward:

“We have a shortened rotation of the bigs, so we will help each other. The most important thing is to go out on the court, give one hundred percent and enjoy the game, as this is our last game in the EuroLeague”.
