UCAM Murcia CB will play on Wednesday the last game of the tour that has taken him to play four games outside Palacio de los Deportes. He will face Zenit St. Petersburg, a team that already could be played in preseason. "We played in Platja D'aro, so both teams know us a little. We have more knowledge of them”, said Quintana.

Russian has old acquaintances of the Endesa League and a core of top players. "They are playing great basketball. They were able to take the track, during the first half, FC Bayern Munich... It's the most physical of the group, with quality people. It has players like Karasev, who has been in the NBA, or Landry, who is very versatile. It is a joint expert, who knows the European competition", explained the Spaniard.

Therefore, the UCAM Murcia coach believes that to win they have to "get back to our best defensive and rebounding ability, give the maximum in every moment and be ready to play when attack. We must be patient, move the ball well and wear their weaknesses. From there, we must be successful, because it is a very physical team", added Quintana, who recalled that Zenit" is one of the favorites to win this edition of the Eurocup".
