The unifying message sent by Borisa Simanic to his teammates, before her game Serbia with the Lithuania shared in the press conference o Bogdan Bogdanovicimmediately after the qualification of the “plavi” at World Cup semi-finals.
The adventure of the 25-year-old forward, who he lost his kidneywhen facing the South Sudandidn’t deter him from standing by his teammates and the effort they are making to win this year’s World basketball.
THE Bogdanovic stopped at 21 points opposite to Lithuania, stating a little later how “I want to start by simply saying something that happened this morning. Our teammate, who is still with us, Borisa Simanic, gave us incredible energy. We were nervous yesterday about our move to another hotel. I was extremely stressed. Somehow, at my young age, I always lost to Lithuania. But I saw Borisa’s message after the team meeting. It was like he was telling us, “Guys, I’m fine, don’t worry, we’re going to win tonight.” To think of us, after everything that happened to him… He united us! He is an amazing guy. This victory is also for him.”
From then on, the 31-year-old shooter stood at great performance he had in the quarter final. Specifically, he reported that “I play by instinct. Sometimes, I shoot like crazy. But that’s how I am. I’m always trying to prove things and improve. I like how I played tonight, but I still think I could have played better. I think I wasted a few shots in the open game. I usually don’t miss these.’
