Podgorica's basketball players took a big step towards the semi-finals of the NLB Second ABA League, during the first quarter-final match against Zlatibor they "flew" on the court of "Bemax Arena" and with a big plus 24 (113:89) they travel to the rematch.
In the big fight, there were some stronger clashes on the field, so during the third quarter after the duel between home guards Milutin Đukanović and Jan Rebec, the referee gave the Montenegrin basketball player an unsportsmanlike foul, while the Zlatibor basketball player received a technical.
The coach of the guests, Strajin Nedović, believes that Đukanović exaggerated in everything, and that he reported him to the delegate of the match.
"A great game by a young team falls into the background thanks to Podgorica player Milutin Đukanović, who intentionally wanted to injure our player during the match, who already had an injury to that hand," said Nedović after the match for the website of the Second ABA League.
He also says that everything continued when the match ended.
"After the game, he threatened and cursed our entire team in the hallway, which is a disgrace and a shame, so I'm asking the ABA League to react, which I stated in my report to the delegates," Nedović added.
Despite the convincing defeat, the coach of Zlatibor believes that his team has a chance in the rematch.
"We went into the game deconcentrated, but despite the 24 difference, nothing is over, because Podgorica will come to Zlatibor, where we will try to catch up. Nothing is impossible and we will not give up," concluded Nedović.
