ZAGORAC: “WE ARE READY AWAITING PARTIZAN”

Mega Leks on Monday from 21:00 will continue competition in the ABA league since within 24th round in Sremska Mitrovica will host Partizan NIS. Players of Dejan Milojevic tied three victories in the ABA league and in a good mood welcome guests from Belgrade. Coach of Mega Leks in this match because of injury will not be able to count on Vlatko Cancar and Ognjen Carapic.

Milojevic said that the team needs to respond Partizan very energetic and aggressive in defense:

– On Monday we expect the match with Partizan with whom we played a little more than a week ago in the Cup. With three straight wins we ensured the survival of the ABA league, which allows us to play the remaining matches without spasm and pressure from that side. We want to get as many matches by the end of the league and thereby improve our position in the table. We must answer Partizan very energetic and aggressive in defense if we want to record the victory. In whichever roster they go out on Monday, we must very seriously to approach the match from the start. Only in this way can we reach the victory that would gain us more confidence before games which we expect by the end of the season,

said Milojevic.

Mega practically ensured survival in the regional competition since it has two wins and match more than the last placed Krka with better score in matches with them, but will certainly by the end of the competition try to improve record that currently stands at 9 wins and 14 losses. Two teams have so far met 7 times in the regional competition with a score of 5:2 for Partizan. The last time the teams met in the semi-final of Radivoj Korac Cup a little more than a week ago, when Partizan celebrated with 77:65.

Special guests at the match on Monday will be the pioneers of Mega, led by coach Stefan Bulatovic, who last weekend won the Mini cup Beobasket 2017 which was held in parallel with the Radivoje Korac Cup in Nis. At halftime, the children from the mini basket club “Mega Leks” will play a friendly match, and for them, as well as the spectators at the game, will be prepared gifts of company Roda.

Rade Zagorac pointed out that the team is ready to await Partizan:

– The match is of great importance for both teams. Recently we were convincingly defeated in Nis. Partizan have experienced, high-quality and proven players whose leader is Novica Velickovic. They have a very good season now.
