Final home game of 2020

On Sunday at 19.00, the basketball players of Cedevita Olimpija will step on the home floor of Arena Stožice for the last time in the calendar year 2020. The Dragons will clash with the Mornar Bar in the 12th round of the ABA League.

The Ljubljana Dragons will play the last home game of the calendar year 2020 on Sunday at 19.00. The team of head coach Jurica Golemac will clash with the basketball players of Mornar from Bar in Stožice and try to extend the series of victories on the home court. The Dragons suffered their last defeat in Ljubljana on January 26, and they are entering the clash with the Montenegrins on the wings of five consecutive victories in the last period.

Given the fact that the Cedevita Olimpija basketball players did not play against the Euroleague Crvena zvezda mts in Belgrade on Sunday, the players of Ljubljana will certainly be extremely motivated before the start of the clash with Mornar. Mornar has recorded eight wins in ten games this season, and is only behind Mega Soccerbet and Crvena zvezda mts in the ABA League standings. The Montenegrins also made a big step in the 7DAYS EuroCup, as they recorded five wins and five defeats in the regular part of the season, and they, like Cedevita Olimpija, managed to break through among the top 16 teams in the competition.

The match of the 12th round of the ABA League will once again take place behind closed doors, and live television broadcast will be available on Arena Sport 1.

STATEMENTS BEFORE THE MATCH:

Jurica Golemac, head coach of BC Cedevita Olimpija:
“Mornar is a great team that is very well put together, talented and well led. The Montenegrins play great basketball, they also broke through among the top 16 teams in the 7DAYS EuroCup. We will have to show a good game in defense, as Mornar has a lot of players who play great in offense. Without defense, we will not get a positive result. We will do everything to keep the victory in Stožice.”

Edo Murić, BC Cedevita Olimpija player:
“For many years, Mornar has been investing a lot of money in a good team. The team consists of very high quality individuals. Besides us, the Montenegrins certainly play the best game in attack. They have a lot of weapons, good ‘shooters’ and on the other hand tall players who protect the ring well. Mornar has been drawing attention to the fact that they are one of the five best teams in the ABA League for quite some time. This match is very important for us, because the players from Bar always aim for the highest places. If you win a match like that, it’s always good for you. We are in a good rhythm. It is a pity that we did not play the match with Crvena zvezda mts, as we are in good shape. I hope that we will also show the games in the match with Mornar, as before. We will definitely do everything to prove that our good games are not a coincidence.”
