Everything that Buducnost Voli has done so far in the AdmiralBet ABA League is, in the simplest terms, perfection.
Andrej Žakelj's team dominated the first round in Bar, then routinely beat Split and Igoke, and were especially playful on their third visit of the season in the regional competition - in the "Krešimir Ćosić" hall in Zadar.
It was a potentially dangerous duel for the people of Podgorica, but there was no dilemma in Dalmatia - Buducnost won 91:55 and reached a score of 4-0, which Partizan also has.
Only one team was wondering, in this case the "blues" who showed from the start with a fluttering game in attack under the direction of Rashid Sulejmon that there is nothing to potential surprises.
Thus, already in the middle of the first quarter, the advantage was in double figures (27:14), and in the second, the difference was over 20 - after 20 minutes, Buducnost was ahead by 23 (52:29).
The way Budućnost played, and the body language of the Zadar players, clearly indicated that there could be no excitement in the sequel - the people of Podgorica did not even plan to stop, they went for the maximum plus 38 (91:53), while the host did everything to at least improve the impression and avoid a debacle. He did neither...
Buducnost thus triumphantly ended a series of three away games (Igokea, Trento in Italy and Zadar), and now they have three tied matches in "Morača" - on Wednesday against Trefl Sopot, next Monday against Crvena zvezda, while on October 23 rival Bahceşehir, led by Montenegrin coach Dejan Radonjić.
