The coach of the Montenegrin basketball team, Boško Radović, distributed the minutes for the match with Egypt today, and Nikola Vucevic played the most on the court, playing 22 minutes.
Vucevic was still the most effective today, the match ended with 16 points, and Montenegro defeated Egypt 89:74 and registered its second victory in the championship.
The Chicago basketball player also had seven rebounds for a utility index of 25.
"Egypt is an opponent that doesn't suit us. They play quite fast, relaxed. Whenever we played smart and controlled the game, it looked good. We can't play when we get into a run, we're not that kind of team, we don't have that kind of players and then it doesn't look like that as it should be. These matches are difficult," said Vucevic after the match for Sport Club.
Montenegro is waiting for Lithuania's victory over Mexico in order to officially advance to the second stage.
"The most important thing is that we won the first two, that was our goal. We more or less made it to the second round, we expect Lithuania to defeat Mexico. Congratulations to my teammates. We achieved an important victory," said Vucevic.
The match with the Lithuanians is on Tuesday (14.30:XNUMX p.m.).
"There is no relaxation. The greater motivation is to try to make an even better result. Lithuania is a serious national team, they have been together for a long time, they have serious players. It will be a strong and tough match. We need to rest well. It would be a big thing if we manage to let's beat them," said the Chicago basketball player.
