ABA League Finals, Game 3, Monday, 2.5.2016:
MEGA LEKS - CRVENA ZVEZDA TELEKOM
Where? Sports Hall Pinki, Sremska Mitrovica
When? 20:30
Story of the game: After two games in Belgrade the overall score in the ABA League Finals is 2-0 for Crvena zvezda Telekom. It means that the red and whites need just one more win to complete their dream season with the championship title! But, now the series move to Sremska Mitrovica where Mega Leks will be the host…
Dejan Milojević and his men suffered a pretty heavy defeat in Game 2, so they want to get back on their feet as soon as possible and show their true face. However, the squad is still weakened by numerous injuries. Jaramaz, Kaba and Aranitović will definitely miss the entire series, while it is still a mystery whether Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot will be ready to return on court on Monday… The good thing for Mega Leks is that Nikola Pavlović recovered from injury.
At the same time, minor ankle injury of Nemanja Dangubić is the only problem for Crvena zvezda Telekom, but it is possible that he will play in Game 3. Anyway, the red and whites have plenty of quality players who are ready to take responsibility in any moment. They are also full of optimism after winning the first two games, so the Belgrade squad is coming to Sremska Mitrovica with only one goal...
To win one game and finish the series.
Match-up in focus: Marko Simonović vs Djordje Simeunović. This will be kind of a offense vs. defense duel. Marko Simonović was perhaps the key player of Crvena zvezda Telekom in both previous games, as his 3pts shots made difference in decisive moments. On the other side, Djordje Simounović is one of the best defensive players in the league and his task on Monday will be to prevent those three-pointers.
Head to head in this season: 0:4.
