Xavi Pascual at the gate of the VTB League’s historical record
Xavi Pascual was founded from the main spotlight of European basketball, but Gavà’s coach has continued to demonstrate his strategist quality since the far-off St. Petersburg. This Monday, in Pro Legomena, his teams Zenit and Lokomotiv Kuban’s first semi-finals, Pascual received the trophy that recognized him as the best coach in the VTB league.
Apart from that award, Pascual was able to add another important notch to his record on Wednesday. After his team clearly surpassed Lokomotif in the first game of his semi-final series (best of seven games) by 106-79, Zenit faces a second match, knowing that in addition to bringing him closer to the finals, he will also complete the best winning streak achieved by the VTB league team. Zenit rivaled the 24 wins and 24 consecutive victories that had recorded CSKA Moscow since February 2023, and was able to establish a new Plasmarka of the competition if he defeated Lokomotiv again this Wednesday.
