A drama of two hours and 35 minutes, a great fight, Buducnost who played a good match against the champions, but in the end was not even lucky to register a fifth victory in the 5th round of the AdmiraBet ABA League.
Crvena zvezda won 75:73, after McKinley Wright missed a layup with nine seconds left in a phenomenal quarter, during which he led the “blue and white” team with eight tied points.
“Difficult games, it’s not easy to talk after everything that happened… I congratulate the players, they gave the maximum, the last atom of strength and that without Juvon Morgan, who is important to us in the rotation and the game,” said Andrej Žakelj, coach of Buducnost Volija.
The Slovenian expert expects that next time the victory will go to the “blue side”.
“I really have nothing to blame them for, it was a quality match, but unfortunately we didn’t succeed in the end. We will also be lucky sometimes, with this approach we will also win”.
He feels that the stoppage in the last quarter did not affect his boys much.
“We played good minutes even after that, so it’s hard to say who was more bothered by the break,” pointed out Žakelj sportingly.
With the last shot by Rajt, it is also possible that there was a foul on the Budućnosti point guard.
“I have to watch the video to comment, it seemed to me that it was a foul. Now that’s over, we have to think about other things,” Žakelj concluded.
His colleague on the other side, Janis Sferopoulos, praised the game of the Future.
“I have to congratulate the players, it’s not like playing against Buducnost, a team that has great quality… Both teams could celebrate at the end. Two details decided – first, our defense, because we left Buducnost to 73 points, and above all one player. Nemannja Nedović made the difference, he was phenomenal,” said Zvezda’s coach.
