On Wednesday evening, HKK Široki is visiting the Primorje team in the 3rd round of the ABA 2 league in Herceg Novi.
The basketball players from Pecara travel to this away game after five-game winning streak, and when it comes to regional matches, so far they have one loss from the first round against Sutjeske and victory over the team Vrsca.
Since the meeting in Montenegro, the coach of Širokobriježan Marijan Bagarić he expects a tough job, and he singled out several names that he believes will represent the biggest threat to his players on the field.
The Primorje team this season has only one defeat on the road to Vojvodinathey won all other games, both in the domestic championship and in the ABA 2 league. They are in a good rhythm, the last game against Radnički in which they are convincingly celebratedshowed that this is an extremely high-quality team with clear roles. Mićović who is the engine of the team and who is an exceptional playmaker, along with good shooters, above all Danilović and Peković. Energy should not be neglected either Rakočević and other high players who have the ability to shoot from outside, but are extremely solid under the baskets. I am of the opinion that we will not have an easy job at all, but we will do everything to reach victory, said Bagarić announcing this match for the league’s official website.
Široki’s player Daniel Dolenz believes that on the wings of good matches and victories in past meetings, his team has reason for optimism in the upcoming challenge in the ABA 2 league.
In the last few games we have good resultsbut as a team we are not completely satisfied with that. The challenge for us going forward is to play well and consistently throughout all four quarters. I hope it will be like that already in the next away game of the ABA 2 league against Primorje, said Dolenc.
From among the hosts, tomorrow’s test was announced by the coach of Primorje 1945 Pavle Roganović.
After great games against Radnicki last weekwe got into a good rhythm and we welcome the Široki team with a lot of enthusiasm. We know a lot about the opponents, with three excellent American players, the holders of the game are players who have a lot of experience playing in the ABA 1 league. I hope for the energy we showed against Kragujevac and I hope for support from the stands, which is certainly important for the boys. Another win in ABA 2 would be an out-of-series success and we have the right to hope for a good outcome.
Nikola Rakočevićplayer of Primorje 1945, said that Široki is a very high-quality team.
We are aware of the challenge that awaits us, but precisely such matches are the best test for our team. We come in motivated as much as possible, with the desire to show how much we can do and to fight for every point and every ball. We know that Široki has a slight advantage in terms of quality and experience, but we believe in our work, togetherness and energy that we bring to the field. Our goal is to do our best, play bravely and show the true face of Primorje, said Rakočević.
This meeting is scheduled for Wednesday from 18 hours in the Igalo Sports Center hall with live broadcast on Arena 3 Premium. The judges of this match will be Denis Hadžić, Edo Javor, Lazar Ćetković.
