MATCH OF THE ROUND: ABA classic - Zvezda host Cibona

The headline says it all. Crvena zvezda Telekom vs. Cibona. No need for any additional invitation for the big derby in Pionir Hall…

ABA League 12th round, Monday, 30.11.2015:

CRVENA ZVEZDA TELEKOM - CIBONA

Where? Pionir Hall, Belgrade

TV schedule: 21:00

Story of the game: The whole Europe is talking about Crvena zvezda Telekom and the reason is of course that grand victory against mighty Real Madrid in Euroleague. The red and whites have made a huge success, but they are well aware that too much thinking about the past results will not bring them any good. That is why everyone from the team have already made it clear that the most important game for all of them is the big ABA League derby on Monday night… The opponent is Cibona.

Zagreb crew arrive in Belgrade with two defeats in a row and with major problem in the roster, as they will probably once again be without Ante Žižić who is recovering from jaw injury. Still, all the others are healthy and ready to leave their heart on the court in order to help Cibona do something big in Pionir Hall.

Match-up in focus: Branko Lazić is famous for his amazing defensive skills and he is considered to be one of the best defenders in the entire league. On the other side, James Brian Florence is the third best scorer of the competition with 17,6 points per game so far. Whoever wins this duel will bring a major advantage for his team.
