17:00 Moscow Time: UNICS vs. PARMA
When UNICS handed PARMA a 20-point loss in the first game of the VTB League regular season in Kazan on September 28, no one could have imagined that the season series would end in a 2-2 tie, and that in April both teams would be equally poised to advance to the decisive game of the in-season Cup. With a more skilled roster, the disciplined Kazan team still has every right to consider the favorite in the first semifinal, but with injuries, the team has slightly slowed its winning streak, getting several losses and losing first place in the regular season to CSKA. The Perm team is hungry for major wins and has produced quite a few upsets this season and will try to surprise everyone again in the Final Four.
19:45 Moscow time: CSKA vs Zenit
A battle of two capitals, the classic rivalry between two legendary clubs will be the highlight of the Final Four. CSKA is the best team of the season by far, playing spectacular and effective basketball—the Moscow team secured first place early in the VTB United League regular season. Since the appointment of Dejan Radonjic, Zenit has been transformed, playing with confidence and gaining stability, The refreshed St. Petersburg team is a formidable force, and home-court advantage promises to play a significant role.
