Regeln » "The title means a lot

By sportswriter Lin Deren


SHENZHEN， Oct. 1 (Xinhua) -- It's quite an easy job for CSKA to win both of their 2016 China Tour games this week.


The tour ended on Friday with the EuroLeague defending champion's 101-75 victory over eight-time CBA champion Guangdong. Two days earlier， they handed CBA defending champion a 92-49 loss in Chengdu.


The results are not surprising. CSKA stayed focused for every minute， and fielded their best players on court including Milos Teodosic and Nando De Colo. That was too much for Guangdong and Sichuan， though they are two of the best teams in China.


EuroLeague MVP De Colo played both games and had a game-high 20 points in Shenzhen.


"What we do is just to play a serious game and try to be ready for the start of the season，" De Colo told Xinhua.


The 29-year-old French international played a key role for CSKA last season， helping the team win the title by beating Fenerbahce after an overtime.


"The title means a lot to me，" said De Colo.


"You work hard during all along the season and you are really out to be the best team in the end， to win the championship. It's never easy when the final is just one game."
