Parma Perm Team Overview
Parma, after a brief slump, managed to head into the break with their heads held high, defeating UNICS at home. Such a victory makes going into a well-deserved break truly satisfying. But did Pashutin's squad really rest? Unlikely. Parma prepared diligently for the championship's resumption, showcasing some beautiful, high-scoring basketball against Nizhny Novgorod on their home court. Yes, there were defensive issues, but that was due to the aggressive play by the visitors. Facing the reigning champions in Moscow will undoubtedly be challenging; playing against CSKA on their turf is a formidable test. However, Pashutin has proven time and again that he can beat CSKA even when no one believes in his team.
