Himki Moscow will arrive for the game against Maccabi Tel Aviv on Friday in a bad mood, after suffering a fourth consecutive loss last night (Monday) in all competitions, this time 89:88 to Astana in the Eastern European League.
But it turns out that the Russians' concerns are not just professional: the team is demanding that the Euroleague cancel its last three losses at the factory, in light of the factory's new corona regulations.
As you may recall, the Euroleague withdrew from the decision to impose technical losses on teams that did not show up for the games due to the large number of Corona cases among the players.
This means that Zenit St. Petersburg, for example, which did not show up for two games, will win replays.
Himki, on the other hand, who has appeared in its last three games against Zalgiris, Real Madrid and Basconia with a lackluster squad and has also advanced to games with youth players, will remain on a 4-0 balance.
According to professional director Pavel Eshkov, this is an absurd situation.
"The new Euroleague rules hurt the spirit of the sport, as long as it has no retroactive consequences. We traveled to Madrid with a short staff, flew players from the youth team and made every effort to keep the game going, but it turns out we could end up at home, careless and replay." , said.

"The most logical thing for the Euroleague is to cancel our last three games, in which we lost, among other things, because we did not have enough players," says Eshkov.
"Any other scenario proves that the Euroleague has a double standard. It does not add respect to the league."
Himki started the season stuttering with four losses in four games in the Euroleague, and also three losses in VTB.
Last night she got back three senior players, including Alexei Sheved, Yannis Tima and Jordan Mickey, who will also play against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
