Nikola Jovic, a player for the Miami Heat, spoke after his team’s victory against the Atlanta Hawks in double overtime by 117:111.
The Serbian basketball player had an excellent performance. In 39 minutes on the court, which is a record in his NBA career, he scored 23 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
“It lasted long. That’s what we work and train for, the competition. We had a nice lead at the end of the first half, but that’s been happening to us lately. We play incredibly in the first half, and then we slow down in the second. We have to go through that, get used to it, and then we are at our best,” Nikola Jovic said after the game.
The Serbian basketball player did everything on the court. He scored, rebounded, assisted…
“I did everything that was needed – dribbling, setting screens for Herro, passing. I do what the coach asks of me.”
In this game, the former Mega basketball player also started in the lineup and was on the court during crucial moments.
“It’s a great feeling. Head coach Spoelstra trusts me, and that’s why I work hard. What keeps me on the court is defense. I hope it stays that way going forward. I have to show him that I can help the team win.”
