Serbia came here without many key offensive end players. This team is basically playing like Zvezda last year, plus Bogdanovic and Marjanovic. They rely on tough defense heavily. In the last 5 games (test games + Eurobasket) they hit over 73 points juts once. They have 73 against Italy, 66 Georgia, 69 Greece, 72 Russia and 92 against the super fast-paced Latvia. Turkey will not want fast pace either. They do not have Dixon to count on so there isn't any potential for that. That is why the defense is as aggressive as possible. They allowed 80 points only to Israel and Slovenia in test games but those are teams that play fast pace all the time and cannot be compared to Serbia. Turkey play very aggressive defense home, this game is extremely important since both teams lost to Russia. Djordjevic said they need to be very careful in offense which will result in long attacks. Turkey can rely only on defense and I believe they have enough quality to stop Serbia. I don't see the Serbians over 75 here.
