Evropa, ali i ljubitelji sporta sa drugih kontinenata, su  spremni za novi košarkaški spektakl! Danas je zvanično otvoreno Evropsko prvenstvo u košarci, na kojem će snage odmeriti najbolje selekcije Starog kontinenta. Takmičenje se po prvi put igra u čak četiri zemlje, što će svakako predstavljati dodatni pritisak, kako na organizatore, tako i na učesnike prvenstva.

Europe and basketball fans around the world are ready for another show. The Eurobasket has officially started today, with a match between the Czech Republic and Estonia, in which the Czechs are currently leading. For the first time ever, the championship will be played in four separate countries. A challenge for both players and organizers.  

As we are getting ready for the upcoming Eurobasket, the National teams are having their squad photos taken. Today we can see team Serbia in their new jerseys, ready to take on future challenges.

Srpska košarkaška reprezentacija, spremna je za početak Eurobasketa, što dokazuje i jedna od novih, zvaničnih fotografija ekipe sa stručnim štabom. Tradicionalno slikanje proteklo je u dobroj atmosferi, a navijači željno iščekuju ovu ekipu na parketu.

Selektor košarkaške reprezentacije Aleksandar Đorđević, saopštio je večeras imena dvojice igrača koji neće nastaviti put na Eurobasket.

Borbeni, 196 cm visoki bek Crvene zvezde Jaka Blažič, pod znakom je pitanja za novu sezonu u crveno-belom dresu. Naime, padovi u formi tokom većeg dela prethodne sezone, naveli su brojne navijače da ga još početkom godine “otpišu”. Ipak, ne mogu se zaboraviti njegova borbenost i tvrdoglavost na terenu, kao ni brojna efikasna izdanja. Pamte se derbiji, te Budiveljnik, Cibona, Panatinaikos, Laboral Kuća… Brze kretnje, sjajni prodori i zakucavanja koja izazivaju delirijum hiljada navijača.

Dve godine, sve dobro i loše, svode se na pitanje da li bi Slovenac trebalo da ostane u Crvenoj zvezdi.

Serbia ends their Eurobasket preparations on a high. With another win against Slovenia, this time by 95-88, after overtime, and various intervals in which the victory could have gone both ways.

Banjaluka’s  Borik hall was over capacity, as the crowd was ecstatic to finally be able to see the Serbian National Team live. Almost five thousand spectators sang the National anthem, as one.

An interesting game for Serbia, against Slovenia, as part of the Eurobasket preparations, and an excellent night for Nemanja Bjelica. The Serbian MVP has scored 19 points, with 4 rebounds and an almost perfect score at free throws and 2 and 3 pointers. Another proof that the forward will undoubtedly be on the final roster. 

Alen Omić, Jaka Klobučar and BC Red Star’s Jaka Blažič were noticed, on the host’s side.

Kapiten KK Crvena zvezda, Luka Mitrović, produžio je danas ugovor na još dodatnih godinu dana. Dvadesetdvogodišnji krilni centar crveno-belih je imao još jednu sezonu ugovorene saradnje, period koji je upravo udvostručio, dokazujući svoju posvećenost ekipi, uprkos činjenici da je letos draftovan od strane Filadelfije.

BC Red Star’s captain, Luka Mitrović, has further prolonged his contract. The 22 year-old captain who has already had a contract signed for the upcoming season, has decided to stay with the Belgrade red and whites, until 2017. Despite the fact that he was drafted by the Philadelphia Pelicans, earlier this year.

After weeks of rumors, it seems that they the next home for Gal Mekel is Serbia. The 27 year-old point guard from Israel is about to sign his contract with BC Red Star, as the Belgrade red and whites continue strengthening all of their positions.

Remember how yesterday, the most important signing for BC Red Star so far, Sofoklis Schortanitis, had to take the bus? Well, it turns out that this move was actually a very special candid camera project, carefully planned for the strong center. A warm welcome, that I’m sure he won’t forget.

Danas je otkriveno i zašto je najznačajnije pojačanje Crvene zvezde u dosadašnjem toku prelaznog roka, Sofoklis Skortsanitis, putovao gradskim autobusom. Sve je bilo deo, pažljivo isplanirane skrivene kamere, u znak tople dobrodošlice stamenom centru. Ovakav doček, sigurno neće zaboraviti.
