End of her dreams They were partisans for the qualification to the Final 4 of Kaunas, Real Madrid on Wednesday night (10/05), with the Spaniards prevailing in an epic upset (98-94), and let them get the ticket for the semi-finals of the Euroleague.
Apparently disappointed with the result, the Serbian coach appeared in his statements, Zelimir Obradovicstating specifically how it was it’s a shame that his team didn’t take advantage of the 2-0 advantage at the beginning of the series.
However, he emphasized that it is proud about his players and that Partizan’s position is in the Euroleague and indeed to star!
Zelimir Obradovic’s statements in detail:
“I’m proud of my team, we played good basketball. It’s hard to say much now, but we lost control of the game. This is basketball. We played good defense, they were making the big shots. We showed two faces at halftime. I wasn’t happy with some of our decisions in attack. At half-time I told my players that Real have quality and pride and will try to turn the match around. We had a lot of problems defensively, but we were able to come back.
Pander’s shot at the end was good, we could have equalized. He played the game as a real leader, as a captain, I must stress that. Lessor and Smilagic had foul trouble. Real is a big club, everything could have been different.
It’s a shame we couldn’t take advantage of the 2-0. Partizan returned to the Euroleague after eight years. Everyone’s goal, including mine, is for the club to be a key member of the organization. You saw what a beautiful picture we showed the world in Game 3 and while everyone was expecting ruckus. I’m proud of everything we showed this year in the Euroleague.”
