For the 8th consecutive time U18 Crvena zvezda mts have won the 1st place at the EuroLeague Adidas Next Generation Belgrade Qualifier and have therefore once again advanced to the ANGT Final Tournament!
Crvena zvezda mts defeated their arch rivals Partizan NIS in the final match quite convincing - 90:59, so the red & whites finished the ANGT Belgrade Qualifier with maximum score of 4 wins out of 4 games.
The MVP of the match was Zvezda's youngster Zoran Paunović who had 26 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. Recall that Paunović was part of the ideal five of the U19 ABA League Championship 2017/18.
