Zeljko Obradovic, gave a statement after the game against Milano, where Partizan secured a win in the 13th round of the EuroLeague.
Zeljko Obradovic secured his team’s third consecutive victory in the elite competition, overcoming a 15-point deficit in the third quarter.
“The score was 60:45, that was one game, and after that, it was a different story. We believed in ourselves. Congratulations to the team and Milano because I believe they played very good basketball until then. We believed at every timeout, even when we were 15 points behind, and we continued to play. That’s the most important thing. They were carried by a phenomenal atmosphere, and I can’t find words to thank all the people.
This game will be remembered for everything that happened. Congratulations to the players. James Nunnally played fantastically smart in the fourth quarter. I would turn to Ognjen Jaramaz and the excellent defense, Anđušić, Smajli, and Bruno. We pushed through all of that, and the defense in the end was fantastic – 37:9. A great victory, congratulations to the players. Unfortunately, there is something very important and I’m very sorry about it, and that is Aleksa’s injury; he got seriously injured. It’s a leg fracture. How much, I don’t know. So many unfortunate things have happened in these two years; it’s incredible,” said Zeljko Obradovic.
