Zenit St Petersburg are already one of the surprises of the Euroleague season, and could make a splash if they beat Barcelona in the quarter-final series (1: 1) and advance to the Final Four in their second season at the factory. The Russian team has already taken a surprising step on the way there, when they won the first game away and transferred the home advantage to them. Tonight she will host Game No. 3.



Much of the team's success belongs to quarterback Kevin Pangos, who is in peak season. These are not only the numbers, but also the leadership, pressure resistance and application of the method of his coach Xavi Pasqual, which is based on controlling the pace of the game. Pangus has 6.6 assists per game (fourth in the factory).



Zenith is making great efforts to sign him to a new contract. Stay or not, one thing is for sure - Pangos (28, 1.86m) has risen this season to the rank of leading Euroleague coordinator, and is one of the standouts of the season. He started the series against Barcelona in a storm with 21 points, 6 assists, 40 percent for three, 2.5 steals and an average of 25 per game, and was selected as the player of the first week of the playoffs.



If Zenit does oust Barcelona, ​​it will be particularly spicy, as it is Pangos' previous team, and its coach Ronas Jasikevicius is the man who put him at the forefront of the European stage as coach Zalgiris Kaunas.



Pangos began his career in Europe in Gran Canaria, known for its great guards such as Jesse Carroll and Ryan Tolson. After two years in Kaunas he moved to Barcelona. His first season was mediocre, and he left at the end of the second season in which he did not play at all due to injury.

"He is the Winner"



Pangos plays for the Canadian team, and appeared with her at the 2019 World Championships. "He's very talented. A very intelligent coordinator," said Brad Greenberg, who was the assistant coach of the team at that championship. "He is a winner and one that his friends trust very much. He gives everything for the team."



And here comes the central rib in his story - Steve Nash, one of the greatest coordinators in the history of the NBA. Nash is one of the reasons Pangos chose to play basketball, and over the years he has gone from a role model to a mentor.



In an interview with the Euroleague website, Pangos said: "I consider him a member. We met on the team, and since then we have been in touch. He is very supportive. I did not expect much because it is Steve Nash, but our friendship only grew stronger. Special".
