Battle between VTB League Champion UNIKS and Debutant Uralmash in current competition
FIST PUMP 🤟ORYUP Laydown: Here's a spicy take on the upcoming UNICS versus Uralmash showdown! On the 19th of October, Kazan hosts the Yekaterinburg underdogs in a regular season smackdown of VTB United League 23/24. The game's down at the "Basket-Hall" arena, kicking off at 7:00 PM (Moscow time).
UNICS
The defending champs are aiming for another title defense. The Greens have twomatches under their belt, bagging the wins both times. First, they took care of business against Lokomotiv Krasnodar, swatting them 91-73 at home. Then, they easily handled the Belarusians in Minsk, 97-49.
Currently, UNICS boasts the best scoring average in the league, but their free throw shooting leaves much to be desired. They've been dominating in assists, rebounds, and blocks as well! Although Viktor Khryapa's squad started the tournament with a bang, not a single player made the symbolic five, a shine they'll want to polish up.
Uralmash
This season brings the Yekaterinburg squad's debut in the VTB United League. Their sensational win against Zenit in St. Petersburg, 75-70, was only the beginning. Their next two matches, against Ryazan and Avtodor, weren't as fun, with losses of 78-85 and 77-87, respectively. But they got back on track, securing an impressive 84-78 win against Lokomotiv Kuban in their latest bout.
Uralmash's start to the season's been on point. They're eyeing the playoffs, and so far, they're on track to reach that goal. Octavius Ellis made an explosive debut for the team in their game against the Railroaders, setting the scoreboard ablaze with a stunning 24 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. Here's hoping that's just the first course of a shimmering season!
Uralmash is third in rebounds, first in assists, and sixth in points. Not too shabby!
