AVDALOVIĆ: “TWO DIFFERENT HALVES — IN THE FIRST WE DIDN’T MATCH THEIR RHYTHM”

The basketball players of Mega Superbet were defeated by Bosna BH Telecom in Sarajevo in the 15th round of the ABA League, losing 83–94 (17–27, 18–33, 15–15, 23–19). Vule Avdalović’s team started the game slowly, found themselves in a double-digit deficit after just 10 minutes, and went into halftime with a large gap. They responded well after returning to the court and cut the difference in half, and in the decisive quarter reduced the deficit to single digits. However, they did not have the strength to complete the comeback and suffered a loss. Mega Superbet now stands at 4–9 in Group B, while Bosna improved their record to 7–6.

Mega Superbet head coach Vule Avdalović shared his impressions at the postgame press conference:

– Congratulations to Bosna on a fully deserved victory. We saw two different halves. In the first, we didn’t respond to their rhythm, primarily on defense. They were very aggressive, we turned the ball over 17 times, and it was very difficult to play in that way, as we couldn’t get good shots. From that, they scored a lot of fast-break points, and that decided the game. The only thing that makes me glad is that the second half didn’t look the same, and we won the last two quarters. It wasn’t enough, but at least we improved the impression compared to a catastrophic first half. Congratulations to Bosna once again, and I wish them good luck for the rest of the season,

said Avdalović.

In the next round of the ABA League, Mega Superbet will visit Ilirija, with the game scheduled for Saturday, January 24, at 7:00 PM.
