ABA League 21st round, Saturday, 4.2.2017:
Where? ŠD Leona Štuklja, Novo Mesto
When? 17:00
Story of the game: Basketball crowd from Novo mesto has always been there for Krka. Both in good times and in bad times. Therefore, local sports hall will probably be painted in green & white on Saturday evening, as Krka (overall score 7-13) really need every possible help in this moment. They are fighting for the ABA League survival, while the next match might finally take them far away from the danger zone... And, Krka squad have sent the best possible invitation to their fans. They scored two wins in last two rounds of ABA League...
On the other side, Mega Leks are one of the teams who share the last spot on the standings. With the overall score of 6 wins and 14 defeats, the things are not looking that bright for the reigning vice-champions of ABA League. But, as we have already mentioned several times, the boys from Sremska Mitrovica are playing better every next day and they are fired up to collect a valuable away win in Novo mesto this weekend.
Match-up in focus: Matic Rebec (Krka) vs. Jovan Novak (Mega Leks). You can call these boys the kings of unbelievable shots. You have all seen what has Rebec done in the previous round and be completely sure that he will once again try something similar. At the same time, Novak and his "Juan Carlos Navarro shots" have become well-known in the region, so expect that he will shoot plenty of them on Saturday evening.
Head to head in the regional league: In total 3:4; In Novo mesto 2:1.
