JOVANOVIC: “IT WAS A VERY GOOD AND INTERESTING GAME, WE LOST THE RHYTHM AFTER OFFENSIVE REBOUND OF OPPONENT”

Mega Soccerbet lost to Partizan NIS in exciting finish with 88:98 (23:30, 32:23, 15:22, 18:23) in the game of the 23rd round of the ABA league, which was full of turning points. Coach Vladimir Jovanovic’s team managed to turn minus 10 in two minutes until the end with a series of 15:3 in a game that was played without the presence of the audience in the Hall of sports Ranko Zeravica, but Partizan managed to regain the advantage through a series of points by Jaramaz and finally came to victory.

At the press conference after the match, coach Vladimir Jovanovic pointed out that the match was interesting to watch:

– I would say it was a very good match, very interesting to watch. However, I would not say that the end result is a realistic reflection of the game of both teams. What we feared in the preparation, it came true. In the parts of the game when we managed to control the offensive rebound and the counterattack of the rival, and when we did not lose the ball and played controlled in the attack, we had a good game. But, when the rival came to the second attack with an offensive rebound, which mostly ended in threes, we lost the rhythm. We failed to establish a good defense, because the players who carry our game entered the fouls too quickly. If I’m not mistaken, five players had three personal fouls in the first half of the third quarter, which was a lot for this rotation that we have. Congratulations to my team on a good game, let’s move on,

said coach of Mega.
