JOVANOVIC: “WE PLAYED VERY GOOD FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END, EVERY GAME AGAINST FAVORITES ARE MAKING US MORE MATURE”

With a fantastic game and lead throughout the entire match, Mega Soccerbet recorded a victory against so far undefeated Buducnost VOLI with 78:72 (27:18, 19:10, 14:21, 18:23) in the match of the 11th round of the ABA League, which was played in the Hall of Sports Ranko Zeravica without the presence of the audience.

At the press conference after the match, Mega’s coach Vladimir Jovanovic pointed out that his team successfully brought the game to an end with a team play and good defense:

– I have to express my satisfaction that we played very well from one of the three main favorites, besides Zvezda and Partizan, from the beginning to the end. We had an idle walk, but I have to say we were in the lead for all 40 minutes. I have practically no objections to the game in the first half, we correctly distributed the number of positional and transitional attacks, we ran very well and shared the ball and had very high percentages of shots, primarily for two points. However, in the second half, I warned the players that Buducnost would react, primarily in defense and offensive rebound. We gave them a lot of offensive rebounds and a second chance points, which they often realized from a shot for three points. They managed to reduce the difference, but with a team play and good defense, we successfully brought the game to an end in our favor. Congratulations to Buducnost and my colleague Mijovic on the excellent results this season in both competitions and I wish you good luck in the future. Congratulations to my guys, every game against the favorites makes us more mature,

said coach of Mega.
