New season in Zadar jersey - good old Vladimir Mihailović. The Montenegrin basketball player played another excellent match for the team from Dalmatia and led them to victory in one of the toughest away games in the AdmiralBet ABA League, and in Europe as well.

At the start of the new regional competition season, Zadar "shocked" Red Star in "Pionir", Danijel Jusup's team won 85:79, and Mihailović finished the match with 21 points.

One of the big favorites of the ABA League and a team made for a breakthrough in the Euroleague, opened the new season with three losses from as many matches. After Olimpija from Milan and Bayern, a lesson came from Zadar.

Zadar defeated the big favorite with "long-range fire", as it hit as many as 15 three-pointers. Interestingly, it hit 14 shots for two points.

Mihailović was also accurate three times from outside the 6,75 line - once in the last quarter when the rival was threatening to get back into the game, while in the finale he put an end to the match with a three-pointer.

Our basketball player was the most efficient player of the match, and in the winning team he was followed by Karlo Žganec with 18 and Bo Bič with 17 points.

In the team of Giannis Sferopoulos, who is already at risk of being fired at the start of the season, Ebuka Izundu and Sammy Ojeley were better than the others with 15 points each.

Montenegrin teams Budućnost Voli and SC Derbi were previously defeated in their first ABA League matches of the season - by Spartak and Borac, respectively.
