Tenth match between them, ninth defeat of Buducnost Volija against Gran Canaria. And never with a bitter taste in the mouth, because Vladimir Jovanović's team got upset and experienced the heaviest defeat in the Eurocup in "Morača" in history - 94:69.
So far, Budućnost has lost 24 points four times - twice to Unikaha (62:86 and 66:90), once each to the team from the Canary Islands (66:90) and Bayern (44:68).
However, the absolute record was not broken, as CSKA won 25:2001 in the temple of Montenegrin sports on October 103, 72 in the Euroleague.
Granka knew exactly what she wanted, where to attack, discovered all the holes in the rival's defense that she wanted and executed the plan perfectly.
The future, on the other hand, at both ends of the field looked like a group of citizens, a group of guys who saw each other for the first time tonight.
A huge difference in quality, but not individual, but team quality, was visible in the first minutes - they gave the guest three three-pointers and took the lead 13:4, and all Buducnost managed to do was get closer to 11:18.
Jake Laković's team had a ready answer - with a series of 14:0, they took a 13:32 lead in the 11th minute, practically solving the question of the winner.
This was not the end of the struggle either, because the sixth-placed team of the ACB League with a series of 9:0 (a three-pointer by Nicholas Brusin, then a goal from behind the 6,75 line and a basket and an additional throw by John Shurna) reached an unreal plus 26 (44:18) in 17th minute.
The weakness of Jovanović's team was best illustrated by a detail from the 23rd minute, when the oldest player of the "blues", Marko Jagodić-Kuriža, savagely bumped into Aleksander Balcerovski, as a result of which he received an unsportsmanlike foul, and could have been sent off.
The only one who tried something and succeeded in the attack was Eric Green, although he had an extremely difficult task, because his direct rival was usually 10 centimeters taller and much stronger Nikolas Brusino. Unfortunately, any good that the American guard would do, the Argentine with an Italian passport would quickly undo, because he always had an answer ready.
Green, however, took advantage when he was taken over by Montenegrin international Jovan Kljajić and was the most responsible for the fact that Budućnost came close to 3:50 in the last minute of the 66rd quarter.
That was all, because the guests again imposed the rhythm and with less than four minutes before the end gained a record plus 29 (86:57), so the "barbarians" started shouting "Vlado is leaving".
Those shouts became even louder at the end of the match, when the other fans started whistling and complaining...
Even club president Dragan Bokan did not take the heavy defeat easily, so immediately after the match he went to the dressing room.
