The Euroleague team won the first match, as the nominal host in Zenica, quite convincingly (104:90), but the Montenegrin champion responded in front of its fans in \"Mora\u010da\" and celebrated 91:90 after great drama, so the master will provide the answer to the question of who will face Partizan in the final of the regional competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Podgorica coach Andrej \u017dakelj believes that the details will decide the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I think the game will be decided by who is tougher, more aggressive and better at rebounding. The team that is better in these segments will win. We need to be ready for the basics \u2013 to play aggressively, as was the case in the second game. We will probably need even more energy and focus in the third game. We are going into the game relieved, but with a great desire to fight and to win through team play,\" said \u017dakelj in the match announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rashid Sulaiman repelled his rivals' onslaught in the second match with six consecutive points and was one of the heroes of the great triumph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I expect a great fight. This is the last game that decides who goes to the ABA League finals and it is certain that both teams want to continue. We are facing a difficult and demanding match on the away field, but we have to give our all, play with heart, with a lot of intensity and execute the game plan in the right way in order to achieve victory,\" said Sulajmon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He briefly brought the film back to the previous duel between the two teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"I think playing at home is a big advantage for us. The fans were incredible and I believe they contributed just as much to the victory as our shots or the good decisions of the coaching staff. It will be different now because we are not playing on our own court, but we have to carry their support with us, to come out bravely and play our signature basketball with determination. If we do that, I believe we have a great chance,\" the Buducnost guard emphasized and added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"It's a big game, but that's normal. It means you care and you want to win. It's important that we stay calm, focused and together as a team. I think that when the game starts, everyone will forget about their nerves and fully dedicate themselves to the game. That's why this will be a match in which focus, faith and togetherness will be of great importance,\" concluded Sulajmon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dubai missed the first match point to advance to the historic ABA League final, but they will have another chance today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aleksandar Sekuli\u0107's team had a shot at victory and advancement in the final of the second match in Podgorica, but failed to finish the job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Games like this, where you either win or end the season, mean that only triumph brings the continuation of the competition. That's why the reaction, approach and everything else must be focused on the things we want to improve compared to the previous match - better team defense, better communication, and in attack, rhythm control and fewer turnovers, because the opponent gets easy points from those mistakes. Those are the key things, and of course we will try to use our advantages as much as possible and turn their disadvantages to our advantage,\" said Dubai coach Aleksandar Sekuli\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Canan Musa knows what his team needs to achieve the desired triumph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"We need to raise the intensity and energy compared to the previous game. We need to be better at blocking, to get back on defense faster and in general, energy was our biggest problem in the second match. If we fix that, I think we will have a great chance to qualify for the final,\" said Musa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The match at the \"Husein Smajlovi\u0107\" City Arena in Zenica starts at 7 p.m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
