THE TAKE

The Polish team of Stelmet Zielona Gora will make its Eurocup debut this week, hosting the 2011 Eurocup champions Unics Kazan, back in the competition after reaching the Turkish Airlines Euroleague playoffs last season. Forward Quinton Hosley is the star for a Zielona side that also has solid inside performers in Oliver Stevic and Adam Lapeta, while Walter Hodge is a point guard with a scoring touch. Taking a look at Unics roster, one also finds former Euroleague champs Kostas Kaimakoglou and Ian Vougioukas, former ULEB Cup champion and final MVP Kelly McCarty, former Eurocup winner and All-Eurocup first team member Chuck Eidson and another All-Eurocup first team member, Marko Banic. It’s going to be a rookie team versus a side full of veterans and big players who know what it takes to succeed in Europe. On paper it looks like mission impossible for the home team, but all bets are off when a hungry newcomer debuts.

Quotes Head Coaches

PETROVIC, ACO
Unics Kazan
"We are taking our start in Eurocup after an impressive home win over Lokomotiv Kuban in the National Championship. I believe that our first opponent in Eurocup, Zielona Gora, is a good team, which now ranks third in their National Championship. We heard, that Zielona Gora started preparations towards the season pretty early, among the first in Europe. They have a good Serbian coach and a number of strong players in their roster. The team usually does very well at home, and there is no doubt for me we will have a good away clash. It will be important for us to win the coming game, and we will do our best to win."

"We will play an away game against Zielona Gora to open this Eurocup edition. We don’t know very much about the opponent, about the basketball they usually do, their strong and weak points. Therefore, we will take serious preparations towards the coming game. We realise that everyone will be looking to have a good start in the competition. We have a good motivation to win and we will do our best to show a good game."
Kostas Kaimakoglou - Unics Kazan - Qualifying Round Desio 2012Former Eurocup champion Unics Kazan of Russia staved off a late rally by newcomer Stelmet Zielona Gora Poland to hold onto a 67-74 victory in the Group F opener for both teams on Tuesday. A 0-6 run over the game's last 2:30 saved the victory for Kazan, which had led by as much as 13 in the fourth quarter before Zielona Gora's late surge. Kostas Kaimakoglou scored 19 points - 15 of them in the game's first 13 minutes - to lead the winners. Mire Chatman followed with 17 points and 6 steals, while Ian Vougioukas chipped in 10 points. Walter Hodge pumped in 16 points for Zielona Gora, which tied 6 times in the first half and came back to within 67-69 before Kazan's big finish. Quinton Hosley added 13 points and 7 rebounds and Kamil Chanas 10 points for the hosts.

A three-pointer by Hosley got Zielona Gora's first Eurocup game off to a good start and sparked his team to a 7-2 advantage. Kazan rallied on 5 points in a row by Kaimakoglou to tie before Eidson completed the comeback with a triple that put the guests up 9-12. Two ties ensued before Kaimakoglou's back-to-back baskets made it 14-18 but again Zielona Gora tied twice, on Oliver Stevic's two-pointer and Milos Lopicic's layup before Chatman beat the first-quarter buzzer to keep Kazan up 20-22. Zielona Gora kept battling back, tying again at 25-25 on a triple by Mantas Cesnaukis. Kaimakoglou was unstoppable, however, as 2 more two-pointers gave him 15 points already in the game's first 13 minutes. Hosley kept Zielona Gora within 29-31 before a 2-9 Kazan run ending with a layup by Ian Vougioukas sent the visitors on their way to a 35-42 halftime lead.

Kazan followed free throws by Vougioukas to a 41-48 lead midway through the third quarter, but Zielona Gora refused to buckle. Big men Walter Hodge and Adam Lapeta combined for a series of layups to keep the hosts within 47-53. But before the quarter could end, Terrell Lyday sank a two-pointer and Chatman buried a last-minute three to extend the difference to 47-58. When Vougioukas opened the final quarter with a layup at 47-60, Kazan seemed in control. The visitors were still up double digits, 56-67, with 5 minutes left when Hodge buried a three-pointer, Chanas copied him and Stevic added a shorter jumper to suddenly make it 64-69. With its defense stopping Kazan left and right, Zielona Gora then got a three-point play the hard way from Chanas to make it 67-69 with 2:40 to play. But now the Kazan defense imposed its will, and Zielona Gora failed to score again as the visitors poured in 6 more points to take the victory home to Russia.
