MILOJEVIC: “WITHOUT DEFENSE WE WILL NOT WIN EITHER”

Mega Leks failed to stop bad series since tZadar after an exciting finish celebrated with 90:86.

The most efficient in the ranks of Mega was Marko Tejic with 24 points, who at the press conference after the match said that Mega turns to the next opponent:

– I congratulate to Zadar on win. We will continue to train and there to try to correct and improve things. We turn to the next match, which is already on Tuesday. I hope that we will be well prepared for Cibona and that we will be able to win,

said Tejic.

Coach of Mega Leks Dejan Milojevic said that basketball can not be played no defense:

– Congratulations to Zadar on deserved win, today they wanted it more. Despite personnel problems, which we also had we but to a lesser extent, they have shown that they have the heart and at this time they played a very quality game. We are currently not a serious team, we receive too many points, about 90 per game and play one of the worst defenses in the ABA league. If players do not realize they can not play basketball without defense, we will not win either. We received 90 points with just two threes from Zadar, too many times they penetrated without the help of the defense, control of rebounds did not exist. We have too many young players and too many mistakes and the rhythm is such that we play game at every 2-3 days. When you lose six games in a row, including Basketball Champions League, confident of team really falls and when they are young, it not so quick rise. Each victory is very important for us, first of all to start to build confidence,

said coach of Mega.
