AVDALOVIĆ: “AN INTERESTING GAME UNTIL THE VERY END – A TOUGH SCHEDULE AWAITS US”

Mega Superbet’s basketball team recorded an important victory in the 10th round of the ABA League, defeating Zadar 90–89 (16–20, 31–19, 15–27, 28–23) at the Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall. The players coached by Vule Avdalović played an excellent second quarter, but Zadar responded in the third, leading to a tense and uncertain final period. Mega managed to quickly regain the lead, Zadar equalized, but the final word belonged to Avdalović’s team, which secured another valuable home win and improved its record to 3–6, with Zadar now on the same mark.

Mega Superbet head coach Vule Avdalović shared his impressions at the post-game press conference:

– It was an interesting game right until the very end. We started at a slower rhythm, while Zadar played in the first quarter the way it suited them. In the second period, we picked up the pace, and that’s how we want to play. Still, Zadar are an experienced team. They know how to play in half-court situations. It wasn’t easy, especially in the second half when they took the lead. In the end, we started playing more aggressively on defense, which led to baskets from fast breaks. We used some of the things we’ve been working on in practice. We more or less knew how the game would unfold tactically. It was exciting. We scored a free throw to take the lead. After that, they had an offensive possession, but they missed. Congratulations to Zadar on a great game, and I wish them good luck for the rest of the season. We now need to rest. We have a VTB League game on Wednesday, and a very tough schedule awaits us, where every game is extremely important. We have to focus on training, recovery, and preparing as well as possible for the next opponent,

said Avdalović.

Mega Superbet will play its next ABA League game on Sunday, December 21, at 12:00, against Cedevita Olimpija at the Ranko Žeravica Sports Hall.
