Avtodor captain Evgeniy KOLESNIKOV shared his expectations from the home game of the 14th round of the VTB United League regular season against MBA (Moscow):
“There is a very difficult and important match ahead. We understand great responsibility, because IBA is our direct competitor. We have to demonstrate character and show branded Saratov basketball. Muscovites rely on team play, and their active defense with pressure all over the court creates many problems for the opponents. It is important for us to be a unit, work in defense, run into fast breaks and score free throws. We know that our fans are used to beautiful and colorful basketball, which we call "Avtodor" style. We will try to live up to expectations and make every effort to return victorious emotions.”
