After six rounds in the AdmiralBet ABA League, Mornar is still winless, after losing to Spartak 85:64 tonight in Subotica.
Mornar lost quite easily tonight, already in the first half he had 19 minus points, so he could not threaten his rival.
“I congratulate Spartak on the return to the elite club and the well-deserved victory. It was always a pleasure to play here. We always felt comfortable, the welcome was real, sporty and I can see that nothing has changed, it has even gone to a higher level. I wish Spartak a lot of success from the bottom of my heart,” said the coach of the Sailors, Mihailo Pavićević, at the start of his speech.
Pavićević then analyzed the match.
“Two teams with different approaches on the field – it’s incomprehensible that at this level we enter the game so soft. We weren’t ready to respond to the solidity in the defense, so there was confusion in the attack. The confirmation of my words is 13 turnovers, as well as 18 offensive of Spartak’s jumps, we allowed them 31 more attacks. Everything speaks of firmness, desire, will to play a good defense,” Pavićević said.
Pavićević said that he will try to bring reinforcements.
“I’m trying to be realistic, let’s try to match each other in the sprint, but there is an objective problem. Very few players have played basketball at this level. Maybe I’m asking them something, the question is whether they can implement it. From the first I’m trying to warn them in good faith that they have to get used to this level of play, but a lot of players are not aware of the ABA league level, it won’t be easy, but it’s obvious that we lack players if we can bring someone, we will do that, to be as good as possible in the future. Be sure Mornar will play in the ABA league next season as well,” concluded Pavićević.
