November 16, 2018 - Aleksandar Dzikic, the Buducnost coach, did not celebrate the ABA League title, so he calmly awaited the first Euro league celebration.
Buducnost Voli defeated Baskonia 99:84 in the seventh round of this prestigious competition.
"Baskonia is a big team that made us hit our borders. We won, that's the most important thing," Dzikic said.
Buducnost broke the Euro league record by the number of three shots - 21 shots from the line 6.75 were scored.
“We were scattered all around. We hit some goals in last second, and I am a better coach when we hit these shots," said Džikić.
Edwin Jackson was the most effective.
"Edwin is a player who is a beast when he is confident. What I liked most was that the teammates saw he was ready to receive balls, and that's progress," said Dzikic.
"Every player needs self-confidence, and we had some tough moments and matches, this was our best game so far. When we do not lose the ball, when we have only a few mistakes, we can do good things," said Dzikic.
The energy was high during the entire match.
"I think the team deserved the applause for fighting and for their energy. The fact that some disagree with that, that's fine, everyone has the right to their own opinion," Dzikic said.
Buducnost had many problems in preparing for the match, as Omić and Danilo Nikolic entered the game without training. The pressure, after six defeats, was great.
"We create the greatest pressure for ourselves because we are not here 'just for fun'. If we were here 'just for fun', nothing would hurt us," he said.
