BC Kyiv had few problems beating their rivals in the Ukrainian championship during last month, a fact demonstrated in last weekend's 113-77 win over MBC Mykolaiv.

And yet their coach is not too happy about it.

Renato Pasquali is concerned that his side are not being tested enough as they prepare for a difficult EuroCup Final Four meeting with DKV Joventut.

"There is too much difference between BC Kyiv and the other teams" Pasquali said. "In the last four or five games we have won with a 20 to 30 point margin. That means it is not easy for players to keep their concentration for all of the game.

"We use the Superliga games as a practice. We try to run, to be aggressive in defense.

"Generally, I'm pretty happy about our performance."

Despite Pasquali's frustrations, he is confident that everything is coming together and that his side will be ready for DKV.

"Ratko Varda is getting into his best shape after injury, and Afik Nissim (a recent addition from Lokomotiv Rostov) already has an understanding with the team," he said.

"We are working hard and I think everything will be okay by the Final Four."

However, he added that his team needed to change some of their shooting habits when they play in Europe. Kyiv have been shooting between 40% and 50% from three-point range in domestic play, something they will find hard to repeat in the EuroCup.

"I don't know if my players will be able to keep this percentage because the pressure in the Final Four matches will be higher," Pasquali said.

"That's why we will make ourselves use take more two-point shots. I think the team that has the highest percentage of two-point shots will win the EuroCup."
