Budućnost Voli suffered its sixth defeat in "Morača" in the last three and a half months, after its temple was an impregnable fortress for 315 days, but none was as painful as this one - Aleksandar Dzikić's team disappeared from the field for about 10 minutes , allowed the written-off Burg team to turn a 25:3 minus 11 (52:41) series into the same plus (66:55), and then to win 75:73 in an exciting finish.
With that, the French representative practically destroyed the plans of the "blues" for the round of XNUMX of the Eurocup in front of their fans.
Scenes were seen that were unimaginable for a long time, as about a hundred fans at minus 11 shouted "Management away".
A bag of peanuts also flew in, and the security guards tried to detain the young fan, who threw it onto the field.
The seniors came to him, and that seemed to be the initial wake-up call for both the players and the audience, which carried the team to the turning point, because less than three minutes before the end, with Vladimir Micov's layup, it was 69:68.
But then the defense "broke", Rašid Sulejmon with a three-pointer and Pierre Pelos with a goal for two gave Burga a plus four (73:69), and in the last attack, Edin Atić and Kendrick Peri missed three-pointers for the victory.
The American is a tragic man, because after an offensive jump by Marko Jagodić-Kuriža, he hastily shot with 13 seconds left, although Budućnost was able to keep the ball until the final whistle.
Worst of all, after Micov's foul in the fight for the ball, with which the home team got out of the bonus nine seconds before the end, the "blues" were unable to reach any of the rivals to send them to the penalty line. They only managed 0,9 seconds before the end, when it was too late, so it didn't change anything that Aleksandr Shasan missed both.
This was followed by new whistles from the stands and bad words towards the players, even when they greeted the fans...
The Podgorica team now has a practically impossible mission to stay among the top four teams in Group B - they have to beat Bursa away from home and wait for Virtus to lose when visiting Ulm or Cedevita Olympia in Greece against the worst team of all 10, Promiteas.
