JOVANOVIC: “IT IS NOT GOOD TO START THE BATTLE WITH MORNAR WHO WILL GIVE MORE POINTS”

In the game of the 5th round of the ABA league in Bar, Mega Soccebet lost to the home team Mornar with 80:73 (25:28, 19:15, 15: 8, 21:22). Coach Vladimir Jovanovix’s team had an active result until the last five minutes of the game, when Mornar denied Mega’s attack with Gabriel’s threes and recorded a triumph.

At the press conference after the match, Mega’s coach Vladimir Jovanovic pointed out that it is not good that his team entered the battle with Mornar, who will give more points:

– Regardless of our good game, especially in attack, already in the first quarter I was afraid that if you try to play with Mornar for a large number of points, it is doomed. Mornar is composed of exceptional individuals who have very high percentages of shots for three points, and if you enter the battle with them who will give more points, that is not good and we started like that. The attack worked well, we scored 28 points and we have to be satisfied with that, but I saw that our defense is not at the level it should have been. In the second half, we were not good, first of all in the defensive field, and in the attack in pick-and-roll and then in the one-on-one game, we did not hit what we needed. At one point, we opened some easy points from the paint, which later resulted in shots for three points, primarily Gabriel’a, which solved the game. We had time and ways to make the game more exciting, but with Gabriel’s triples, the game got out of control. Congratulations to Mornar, not only on this victory, but also on the games in the ABA League and Eurocup, despite the problems they face,

said Jovanovic.
