The last throw remained on the ring, but the hope for Cedevita Olympia remains
The most playful team of the second half of the regular work in the ABA League was just before the full stands of Coca-Cola Arena re-lays weapons before Cedevita Olympia. If 19. January were the people of Ljubljana, after a tense playoffs, this time, due to a wasted opportunity, they can rightly stick to their heads. The throw to win did not go through the ring, despite the 85-86 defeat, Olympia returned to Ljubljana, confirming that on Friday (18.00) in Stožice, it could equalize the series.
Confidently and without white flag, reinforced by reconvalescents Jako Blažič and Andrija Stipanovic Cediti Olympia basketball players set out on an emirate, where they felt the opportunity to surprise. A poor introduction to the dragon match did not submit their wings, and in the match of many fluctuations, they found themselves more than the hosts just before they escape the elusive advantage. They fulfilled their primary goal, they entered the playoffs with Dubai, and remained empty -handed due to the poorly played for the last five minutes.
After returning home for regeneration, there will not be much time, and today they are waiting for the second quarterfinal match of the national championship against Sencur, followed by final preparations for Dubai. According to the forecasts, the little things are decided, Olympia has done a lot of good things in the first game: they were convincingly given a jump (34:22), they were aligned with the excellent shooting team after the number of triples (8: 8) and lost balls (14:15). Only the dot on the i was running out, and there will be a new opportunity at Friday’s Revans (18.00) in Stožice.
