Kazan UNICS basketball player Ivan Lazarev, who previously played for CSKA, recalled the emotions of winning the Euroleague with the army club.
Lazarev won the Euroleague with CSKA in the 2015/16 season.
— Is winning the Euroleague the main trophy in life? Since I didn’t play in the NBA, then yes. This is the most prestigious club tournament on the continent.
Did you have bad thoughts when CSKA led by 20 points at the big break, but managed to lose the advantage in the second half of the match with Fenerbahce? No, the psychological advantage still remained on our side. And the last throw then remained with Vitya Khryapa. He’s just a basketball genius, I adore him. One of the best people in sports. Moreover, I experienced such vivid emotions that I don’t even remember some moments. Because of adrenaline, everything was erased,” RT quotes Lazarev.
