Basketball » ABA (M), 4. round
20.10.2013. 17:00 Finished
Union Olimpija - Crvena zvezda (61:62)

Olimpija solved their point guard problem by bringing Vladovic

  • Published:

The team from Ljubljana is awaiting the first favorite in the league, Crvena Zvezda's strong team, after their great win against Varese in the Eurocup. Crvena Zvezda lost their Euroleague home game against Kuban on Thursday

This match deserves to be called the derby of the round, especially since Olimpija returned their confidence with a win over Varese in Eurocup. A win against their great rival from Belgrade would return them to the right track after three consecutive losses in the ABA league. 

Olimpija played a real man's game against Varese, the defense worked great and they limited the Italians to only 59 points. In the last round of the ABA league, they were defeated in an away game in Siroki in which they were losing from the start, and at the end they had a chance to win. That game also finished with small numbers, Siroki won 60-58. 

- The win against Varese was very important from a psychological aspect. I hope that this will be an additional motive in the game against Crvena Zvezda. We saw we can play great in both directions, we just have to repeat that - said Ales Pipan, Olimpija's coach, after the game against Varese. 

Ahead of this game, Olimpija brought in experienced point guard Vladovic. He is coming because their first point guard, Cedric Jackson, is still injured. Vladovic trained with the team the whole week and he can play against Crvena Zvezda. Olimpija relies on their defensive game, they play hard and use zone and zone pressing. Their best player Sashu Salin is pulling them, but he didn't have the right support from his teammates and he spent himself a lot as a point guard. With Vladovic's arrival, he can return to his guard position. 

- We have another series of difficult games ahead of us. We are awaiting the first ABA league favorite and we have to do our best at all times if we want to win this game - Pipan said ahead of the match. He also added: 

- Zvezda is well covered in all positions, they brought in Jenkins, who is an extraordinary player. Katic and Marjanovic are one of the best center pairs of the league. The duel under the basket will be very important. We have to try and use their mistakes, Zvezda plays quickly and they can make a lot of mistakes in their speed. This is our chance, we have to make easy points and try to win with aggressive defense. 

Crvena Zvezda played their first Euroleague game on Thursday. They lost at home against Lokomotiv in a tight finish and the game had to leave a mark on Zvezda's players. They defeated Radnicki with 37 point difference in the last round of the ABA league at home. Zvezda has a completely different basketball style than Olimpija, they score a lot of points and we will see how they will manage against the Slovenian's defense. 

- Olimpija had a bad start, but that is not the right indicator of their strength. They had a lot of problems at the start of the ABA league because of the lack of point guard, but they resolved that before the game against us by signing Vladovic. Also, they defeated Varese's fast team in Eurokup and they will want to continue in that rhythm - said Dejan Radonic, red-and-white's coach. He briefly stated that he will demand their players to play better than they did in the last game:

- We have to correct some things in the defense and we have to extend our intervals of good defense for a major part of the game. It is important to achieve continuity in the game which we didn't have in the last game. 

Another link between these two teams is Jaka Blazic who reinforced Zvezda's squad this year and he knows his teammates well. Except Jackson (Olimpija), there are no other problems with injuries on both sides.

Zvezda are playing the role of main favorite for the ABA League title, they are really strong in offense and the 73,5 margin seems a bit low, even though Olimpija don't concede a lot of goals. This margin was set according to Olimpija's matches. They have been doing brilliantly defense vise this season, but I don't think defenses will decide this match. Olimpija beat Varese, boosted their confidence, and the coach said they will try to attack, which is exactly what Zvezda would like. I think Zvezda will set their own pace and go over this margin. They went under it recently only against Igokea, but that was their first away game this season.
