Today, Marko Simonović was one of the most deserving players for the victory of the Montenegrin basketball team over Cameroon (70:66) in the 2nd round of the Olympic qualification tournament in Riga.
The Bahceşehir basketball player finished the game with 18 points, and scored 14 in the first half, which Montenegro finished with 29 points.
"It wasn't easy. Against Brazil, we spent ourselves, we didn't have enough time to rest. But we won, which is the most important thing. Now we have two days to prepare for what awaits us next and to try to play as well as possible "We will try to rest as much as possible. I think we all played a good game, but the victory counts, which is the most important thing," Simonović said.
DON'T MISS IT
Dino Radončić also had an important role.
"A very important victory. It was difficult. We got tired against Brazil, and Cameroon waited for us fresh. We missed a lot of shots, we had good chances to hit it. I hope that on Saturday, if we qualify for the semi-finals, that I'm proud of the guys, the goal was to win one game in the group, even though we're missing some players. Now the break will come in handy, especially after the match with Brazil, which was high-paced that the result in the match between Brazil and Cameroon will be positive for us and that we will be able to do it properly on Saturday," said Radončić.
