JANKOVIC: “AGGRESSIVE DEFENSE AND CONTROL OF REBOUNDS FOR WIN”

There is no time for rest. Players of Mega Leks already on Monday June 6th from 20 hours continue series for third place of Serbian Super League with a game against FMP. This time the host team from Zeleznik, which will welcome in their hall players of Dejan Milojevic. Mega has won the first match with 93:77 but the match was resolved only by the end of the third and beginning of the last period.

The fight for a place in the ABA league continues on Monday and coach of Mega Leks Dejan Milojevic says that the key is that team repeats the energy from the first leg:

“The series is played on 3 wins so that victory in the first match does not mean winning the 3rd place. FMP demonstrated that it is serious team that deservedly reached the semi-final of play-offs. It is necessary to repeat the energy from the first leg to reach new victoriy We must not relax but we have to play on maximum”,

said coach of Mega Leks.

Mega Leks and FMP have so far met five times in the Super League and all 5 victory took the team of Dejan Milojevic. Mega lead with 1:0 in the series for third place and for a place in the ABA league would need 2 more wins.

Center of Mega Leks Nikola Jankovic says that the key for victory of Mega are aggressive defense and control of offensive rebounds:

“The second match we play in very familiar territory for us because in Zeleznik  we train throughout the year. We expect a much more tense second game. FMP plays on their court at least 30 percent better, which was seen in the semi-final series against Partizan. It is necessary to repeat the recipe from first match and with a great and aggressive defense and control of offensive rebounds of FMP, which is a very athletic team where everyone goes for jump. With smart solutions in the attack, I believe that we can come to a victory and one step away from achieving the goal, placement in the ABA league next season”,

Jankovic said.

The match will be broadcasted on second channel on TV Arena Sport.
