ABA League Semi-finals, Round 2, Tuesday, 22.3.2016:

CEDEVITA - CRVENA ZVEZDA TELEKOM

Where? Dom sportova, Zagreb

When? 20:00

Story of the game: The clash of the two ABA League members of Euroleague Top 16 - Cedevita and Crvena zvezda Telekom is heading into the chapter number two, as they will face in Dom sportova, Zagreb in the game, that can take Zvezda towards the ABA League Finals, or that can even only extend the series into three games, unlike the other semi-final pair, where Mega Leks have already eliminated the regular season champions Budućnost VOLI.

Both teams are currently in the strainous tempo of the games, as they have both played Euroleague games on Friday and as Cedevita have lost in Istanbul against Anadolu Efes, Crvena zvezda Telekom are coming away from the glorious victory in Malaga against Unicaja after a major comeback.

So, it seems that the favourites are well known right now, as Zvezda have won the last two clashes of those two opponents and are, besides the ABA League, currently proving to be in the better shape in the Euroleague as well. However, do not underestimate the importance of the home court - in the end, Cedevita have won the only game of those two teams in Dom sportova this season. And they will try their best to repeat it.

Match-up in focus: Miro Bilan against Maik Zirbes. They are both part of the ABA League 2015/16 Ideal Starting Five. Two fantastic players that have collected some amazing numbers throughout the regular season. We are about to see who will be better in their final clash and - if it would be enough for his team to prevail over the opponent.
