Lokomotiv Kuban head coach Tomislav Tomovic shared expectations ahead of WINLINE Basket Cup game against PARMA.
– What can you say about PARMA and how to beat them?
– I’ve seen several games. The team is strong and has experienced coach with a good balance between defense and offense. I know Terrell Carter from his performance for Igokea in the Adriatic League; he is a player who can make a difference. This will be another big game for us. We can win if we continue to improve day by day, practice by practice.
– Do you know under what conditions Lokomotiv will advance to the WINLINE Basket Cup playoffs?
– Yes, we need to win all the remaining games in the group by certain point differential. But it’s too early to talk about that now; we have to take it one game at a time. Of course, we intend to do everything we can. It will be very difficult to win them all, but that is our goal. And right now, all our thoughts are on how to beat PARMA on Thursday.
– WINLINE turns every game into an extraordinary show. What do you think about that?
– Yes, I know about it, but I haven’t seen it live yet. I respect experiments and efforts to transform basketball to attract new viewers. I am looking forward to experiencing this atmosphere for myself.
– Would you like to say something to the Loko fans?
– Our fans were magnificent on Sunday. I am grateful for how they supported the team and gave the players their energy in difficult moments. I believe that the fans will continue in the same spirit, and I invite everyone to the game on Thursday. Let’s achieve another important win together!
