MILOJEVIC: “WE MADE ZVEZDA TO PLAY HARDEST MATCH THIS SEASON IN ABA LEAGUE”

Ognjen Jaramaz played fantastic finish of regular time of the game, but Mega eventually failed to come to a big win because the Crvena zvezda won in overtime with 69:81. Jaramaz was most effective in Mega Leks with 15 points, on what was added and 5 assists, and at a press conference after the match said that the Mega played quality match played:

– We played a good game in general. There were periods of very bad game, that team as Zvezda know to take advantage of and on several occasions they went on the 10 plus. We managed to come back a few times and enter overtime, where we played bad and eventually lost. I congratulate Crvena zvezda to win and wish them good luck below,

said Jaramaz.

Coach of Mega Leks Dejan Milojevic said that the players of Mega managed to force Crvena zvezda to play the most difficult match of the season in the ABA league:

– Congratulations to Zvezda on deserved victory and a fantastic season that they have. We managed to get them to play the hardest game in the ABA league this season but we failed to materialize. We were quite exhausted and in overtime we faltered. In overtime we were weary, I think we are pretty exhausted. Simply, Zvezda has a longer bench, Radonjic rotated more players and that our fatigue came to the fore. We completely fell in overtime. We are still ahead of the most important matches. This was one of those matches where we had nothing to lose, against the absolute favorite. In the next round hosted also a big favorite Cedevita, and then we follow duels with teams that are in our range and against which we have to fight for survival in the league. I hope that we will succeed,

said coach of Mega.

Crvena zvezda captain Luka Mitrovic pointed out that the matches between these two teams in Sremska Mitrovica are traditionally uncertain:

– We play traditionally uncertain matches with Mega in Sremska Mitrovica, so it was tonight. Maybe it was not the most beautiful game to watch but we did what we came for. Maybe we needlessly exhausted in overtime but in the end we won the two points. We turn to the coming matches and to MegaI wish a lot of luck in the ABA league,

Mitrovic said.

Crvena zvezda coach Dejan Radonjic said that the matches between these two teams in Sremska Mitrovica traditionally interesting:

– I’ve already said that I expect an interesting match and it is this evening certainly was. We started the match the way we do it in recent games but in a second quarter we gained an advantage. Below we have oscillations in the game, we went into overtime, but in the end we celebrated,

said Radonjic.
