MILOJEVIC: “WE HAVE FULFILLED THE TASKS”

Mega Leks had a great start of a series for the third place against FMP with a victory of 93:77. Winner of series that is played on three wins will be placed in the ABA league next season. Fantastic party had Nikola Ivanovic with 24 points and 10 assists to go with as many as 17 points in the third quarter when the match was resolved.

Play of Mega points out that there is no relaxation:

“Basically we are satisfied how we have opened a series against FMP. We get them quite seriously and during the week were preparing for them. They raised their level of play and good timing of their form for the playoffs. We played good pressing and because of that, they missed a lot of open shots that we used to resolve the game in the third quarter. There is no relaxation, in Zeleznik will be a lot more difficult and we will have to play even better than now”,

Ivanovic said

Coach of Mega Leks Dejan Milojevic said that the team met the agreed tasks:

“1: 0, the series is at 3 wins and this victory does not mean winning the 3rd place. We have met some of the tasks that we have agreed, we didn’t gave up on pressing because we knew that if we insist on it, as well as during the season, it will yield results. In 2-3 minutes we raised from plus 2 to over 10 and then expertly finished the game end. FMP demonstrated in this game that they are a serious team and they deservedly reached the semi-final of play-off. We have to repeat the energy from this game to win the second game. Our advantage is that we have virtually permanent home ground because we play in a hall in which we train so that certainly makes things easier. However, there is no relaxation because FMP deserves it and because of that we have to play the maximum and without compromise”,

said Milojevic.
