MILOJEVIC: “I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THE SEASON”

With numerous injuries decimated team Mega Leks failed to withstand significantly more experienced rival. Coach Dejan Milojevic had to lend a hand basketball players of Crvena zvezda and congratulate them for their triumph in the ABA league. By far the youngest team of the regional competitions fought bravely, but had no power to extend the final victory of the series.

Rade Zagorac captain Mega Leks, first congratulated rival the great final series and the impact this season:

“Crvena zvezda showed that the most quality team in the region. We in the finals gave the maximum. We gave what we could. You all know in what situation we are in because of injuries. We were competitive, but more than this we could not. We did not win Crvena Zvezda not once this season and it will be an additional motive for the matches that await us. In the end, congratulations to my on a great success“.

Dejan Milojevic, coach Mega Leksa, first congratulated rival on winning the trophy and said:

“Special congratulations to my friend Dejan Radonjic on all the successes this season, both in the Euroleague and in the ABA. Also, congratulations to my boys. In the final we have shown how much we can. We did our best, but for the power of Crvena zvezda that was not enough . The guys have played over the possibilities. Rotation of us is short, a couple of players had never played a serious competition. A few of them got a chance to play the final, but did not have a minute during the seasone in such circumstances. What’s done is done. I am really very satisfied with the season . If someone said at the beginning that we will play the finale, however I’m an optimist, it would be hard to believe him. I hope that we will recover as soon as possible. Domestic League starts in a few days. we have to welcome it ready. Two teams deservedly found themselves in the finals, the quality won. Who knows maybe we’ll meet again in the final. You never know”.

When asked to say why the third match of the finals was weaker, the young coach of Mega said:

“Fatigue is concerned. Certainly the importance it had no influence. The first two matches we played very well offensively, really bad third. With regard to our rotation, more than this was not possible. We had power for one half, I tried to rest them with changes, but the players who came off the bench do not have the quality to resist Crvena zvezda. When we are complete, Crvena zvezda is still better. But in this situation we can play more engaged and combative. Just because we have a greater incentive to beat Crvena zvezda, but it us. I am sure that in that case, we would be more competitive. In this situation we had only one promile chances to win the title”.
