MILOJEVIC: “IT WAS NICE ATMOSPHERE, WE ARE SORRY WE DIDN’T GAVE THEM BETTER GAME”

Mega Bemax suffered a convincing defeat at the start of the ABA League as Cedevita Olimpija celebrated 63:87 in front of 1,800 spectators in the Ranko Zeravica Sports Hall. At a post-match press conference, coach of Mega Bemax said his team was in a spasm, which was expected somewhere:

“Congratulations to the Cedevita Olimpija team, they were better. They just played better. We were in a spasm, which was expected somewhere, because many of these players did not have the opportunity to play ABA League games before. For this reason they failed to put up However, it’s better that it happened against Cedevita Olimpija, which is one of the best teams in the league, than against some team of our rank. The next game is against FMP and we will try to get to the first win. Our big problem is inexperience, but it is good that experience is gained in such games. It will be much more important for us not to pitch against teams of our rank on our field. The fact is that we have not had such results on our home field in the past, and certainly it’s not pleasant”,

said Milojevic and then to the reporter’s statement that Trifunovic, after a misses at the start, did not stop and started to hit, coach of Mega replied:

“And he doesn’t have to stop! We managed to make open positions, there were certainly 15 missed lay-ups and a shot of 4/30 for three says enough. And at one point the result was unrealistic because despite 4/26 we were able to tie, but we ended the half badly. After Cedevita played better and that’s it”.

Asked about his impressions after the ABA debut at the Ranko Zeravica Sports Hall, played by Mega in front of nearly 2,000 people, Milojevic answered

“We started training recently, we’ve done a couple of training sessions and it will take some time for the players to feel their hall as their home. It was a nice atmosphere and I’m sorry we didn’t give them a better game”,

said Milojevic.
