Serbia - Slovenia (74:92)

Slovenia playing an important match 15 hours after the last one

  • Published:

While the Serbians already gave up after the first quarter yesterday, the Slovenians played a thriller match against France that didn't finish until 11 pm

The schedule is pretty tough in this Eurobasket. Slovenia finished their match around 11 last night, probably didn't sleep till morning, and they already have to play an important match this afternoon. World championship is at stake here. The Slovenians played a difficult and exhausting match against France last night. 

There was a lot of tactical game between the two coaches and it seems like the more experienced one made a crucial mistake. He sent Dragic on Parker, tiring him in defense to no avail, while he kept Joksimovic, who did a great job with Belinelli and Spanoulis, on the bench. It was useless since Parker would have probably scored 20 point to anyone else too, but at least Dragic wouldn't have got tired. 

- It may or may not have been a mistake. You have the right to ask that when we lose. I'm sorry I didn't use Joksimovic now - said Maljkovic.

Either way, the Slovenians lost the medal again. They have to get their strength back for the important match today. Since they depend greatly on the energy they open the match with, this is clearly not going to be easy.

- We have no time to recuperate, Serbia has the advantage there. I feel sorry for the fans, but the better team won. They have seven NBA players after all - said Maljkovic after the match.

The physical aspect that helped Slovenia to dominate over Greece was not present yesterday. If they don't have the necessary energy today, the Serbians will have a better start.

- I am so sorry, both for us and the fans. There were times when we were in the lead and if we played smarter in offense, it might have been better. The match today is important because World Champioship is our main goal here - said Dragic who played well once again.

The Serbian team finished their match against Spain after only half an hour. They were completely powerless.
It was not a level playing field for the most part - Spain's vast quality against Serbian lack of experience.

- Spanish team are much much better. They deserved to win. I don't feel humiliated or hurt, but defeats like this one should open our eyes - said coach Ivkovic.
Ivkovic pulled Bjelica and Krstic out early, tried matching centers Stimac and Gagic, later even Katic, together, but Ortega's zone game kept them away.

The Serbians seemed to be much more focused on this match, and Ivkovic has been saying for days that he needs only one victory to reach his goal - WC in Spain.

We didn't use the first opportunity because we simply weren't prepared for such an opponent. We played badly, but our second chance is today. 

Markovic didn't play yesterday, Krstic played only 13 minutes, and Bjelica 14. Ivkovic rested his players for today which give him a great advantage over Slovenia.

Slovenia plays their second game in less than 15 hours after a significant physical and emotional exertion. According to Maljkovic, his players were awake for the whole night and they are obviously very disappointed. On this tournament we saw that Slovenia plays well only when they are playing energetic and at a high level and they lose if they lack energy. Yesterday they failed to dominate on the boards against the French and they lost, similar to the game against Croatia, Poland and Finland. Dragic played 30 minutes in his style, with full throttle and he invested a lot of energy in playing at both ends of the court. On the other side we have the Serbs who played 10 minutes against Spain, saw they had no chance and turned to today's game. Krstic played 13 minutes, Bjelica only 14, and they are Serbian key players. So, they are fresh for today's game and unlike Slovenia, Serbia was not significantly disappointed after losing by 30 points against Spain, since they know they came to Slovenia to qualify for WC. But I would have taken this margin even if they play after two day break, this is the key game for Serbia and they will play their best defense possible. In their last 10 games Slovenia breached this margin only two times, against Italy, a team that likes to play fast, and Spain against which they scored 53 points in the second half.
