JOVANOVIC: “IT WAS GOOD GAME FOR THE START TO THE END, I AM PROUD OF MY BOYS”

In the fantastic match in which they had a 19-point advantage, Mega Soccerbet in the end lost to Partizan NIS with 79:77 (16:27, 24:23, 16:15, 23:12) with a floater by Rashon Thomas in the final seconds of the match. Coach Vladimir Jovanovic’s team had the advantage for most of the match, they managed to take the lead in the last minute after Partizan’s turnaround, but in the end Partizan celebrated in the already described way within the game of the 10th round of the ABA League which was played in Hall of sports Ranko Zeravica.

Despite the defeat in the last seconds, Mega coach Vladimir Jovanović had a lot of reasons to be proud, which he pointed out at the press conference after the match:

– It was a good game from the beginning to the end. In the second half, we had a problem with the aggressiveness of Partizan and, above all, the rebounding, although in the final total in that segment we beat a team that is the best rebounding team in the ABA league. I am certainly proud of that. In the end we didn’t respond with enough precision when they stepped up their aggression and the match ended as it ended. Naturally, their two offensive rebounds were decisive. We got them in that segment, but they had timing when to catch them and they resolved the match in those six tenths. Congratulations to Partizan and congratulations to my team on the game shown,

said coach of Mega.
