CSKA, Zenit and UNICS will compete for the championship in the Unified VTB league, Ponrashov believes

Former basketball player of the Russian national team and CSKA Anton Ponkrashov called the teams that will compete for the victory this season of the VTB United League.

CSKA (20 victories, 3 defeats) leads in the regular championship, the “zenith” (18 wins, 4 defeats) is in second place, closes the three units (18 victories, 5 lesions).

– Do you think CSKA and Zenit have become stronger than last season?

– Probably, it’s not entirely correct to say that they became stronger, although the plus of CSKA, that the Muscovites retained the composition and made spot amplifications. Today they show one of the best basketballs.

“Zenith”, on the contrary, has decently updated, but beginners look very good. In general, the team also shows interesting basketball. It will be very pleasant to watch these commands. We can give the final assessment after the end of the season. Now this is only a reasoning

– Many consider the favorites of this season the Unified League of VTB CSKA and Zenit. Do you agree?

– Yes, but I would add UNICS here, because Kazan shows basketball of the highest class. Probably, these three teams will compete for the championship in the Unified VTB League. Will he be able to surprise Lokomotiv -Kuban? It seems to me that everything will be reduced to the semi -final series, where we can already determine the finalist, – “Sport day after day” quotes Ponrashov.
