“It is always a pleasure to travel on the road to a game where you will play in a hostile environment. I have always spoken that I enjoy more playing on the road when the hall is full than at the home court. They are a fantastic team that will give more than their 100% in front of full stands of Aleksandar Nikolić Hall. We must arrive there much more concentrated and much more ready. We must not allow ourselves to be impressed by the ambience. We must rather keep control and play the game the best way we can. Of course, we are entering it as the score in the series was 0:0. It will be a truly interesting game. I hope that we will play the way we can, the way we want to and the way we are planning to. If it is so, this will be a fantastic basketball show and a show that people deserve to watch. Of course, the goal is to win every game. We will go there to win and will do our best to make this the last game of this series,” Marko Arapović commented on the upcoming game.

Arapović: „Igrati moramo kako znamo, kako želimo i kako planiramo“

Igrač Cedevite Marko Arapović pričao je o svojim očekivanjima prije početka druge polufinalne utakmice protiv Partizana NIS u Beogradu. Očekuje paklenu atmosferu u kojoj uvijek uživa, ali i tešku utakmicu.

"Uvijek nam je gušt ići na utakmicu gdje je zapravo i neprijateljska atmosfera. Ja sam uvijek govorio da mi je veći gušt igrati u punoj gostujućoj dvorani nego na domaćem terenu. Oni su jedna odlična ekipa koja će pred punim Pionirom igrati na svojih i više od 100%. Moramo ondje doći puno koncentriraniji i puno spremniji. Ne smijemo dopustiti da ambijent pune dvorane utječe na nas, nego moramo držati kontrolu i odigrati najbolje što možemo cijelu utakmicu. Normalno, u utakmicu ulazimo kao da je 0-0. Bit će to jako zanimljiva utakmica. Nadam se da ćemo odigrati onako kako znamo, kako želimo i kako planiramo. Ako bude tako, bit će to jedna odlična košarkaška predstava i ono što ljudi zaslužuju gledati. Normalno, cilj je pobijediti svaku utakmicu. Idemo tamo pobijediti i dat ćemo sve od sebe da ovo bude zadnja utakmica u seriji," rekao je Marko Arapović
