However, in such games at the end we can only win, because these young guys mean a lot to play against such a strong team. In any case, Crvena zvezda is the favorite in this match. In the duel with the champion of the ABA league we are entering relieved, but with the desire to play quality basketball and I hope that my players show talent which they possess. If  Zvezda allows us with their game and to show us the slightest chance, we will try to win, which would be of enormous and multiple significance for our young team”,

 

said Dejan Milojevic.

I believe that we will be able to equally deal with all the teams, although we by far the youngest team ABA league. Crvena zvezda is the favorite in the first round and I very respected them because they have a very strong and experienced team, but we have a huge motivation. We cannot wait to start the game”,
