Disposition

Loko will play first match in the 2020/21 season at home against Zielona Góra. Despite all the adventures that fell in 2020, we waited for the return of basketball to the Basket Hall and to our hearts. Get ready for the big season!

Zielona Góra, unlike the red-greens, have already managed to open the season in the VTB United League, losing to Zenit on the road. They also played five matches in the Polish Championship, winning all of them. Zielona Góra also managed to win the Polish SuperCup.

Unlike the opponents Loko will play their first match in the season, so only tomorrow they will begin to put the coaching ideas into practice. The newcomer Kevin Hervey is now not yet in Krasnodar, but Jordan Crawford is expected to debut.

Quotes

Zielona Góra is aggressive and uncompromising team. The leaders play from the throw, there are many snipers who attack with a good percentage. This is primarily about Lundberg and Ponitka. There is a strong center Grosell. We need to play aggressively in defense, to make sure that all the opponents' throws are made with resistance, we need to control the rebound, the rhythm of the game. In attack, in turn, we have to organize fast breaks, use our strengths, move the ball. We are glad that basketball is finally returning, especially the first match in front of our native fans! We will only play to win!

Evgeny Pashutin, head coach of PBC Lokomotiv Kuban
