Izabranici Aleksandra Đorđevića na parketu su delovali organizovano, i u punoj formi. Izuzetno bitan podatak, pred veliku evropsku proveru. Najefikasniji igrač bio je Miroslav Raduljica (15p, 4sk), dok je kapiten Miloš Teodosić (12 p, 7 sk, 3 as), večeras proglašen najkorisnijem igračem turnira.

Večerašnje izdanje reprezentacije daje više nego dovoljno razloga za optimizam i čestitke.Rusi su bili konkurentni u samo prvoj deonici, dok ih je u nastavku, selekcija Srbije neutralisala i do kraja utakmice samo povećavala razliku. Publika u Areni je imala prilike da ponovo vidi veliki broj sjajnih poteza, poput trojki Teodosića, proboja Nedovića, te inicijative Dangubića. Naš MVP je ponovo dokazao da igri reprezentacije daje posebnu dimenziju, te da je pobeda uz njegovo zalaganje na parketu gotovo zagarantovana.

Selektor Đorđević dodaje da je uvek moguće dodatno se spremiti, te da on nikada nije zadovoljan.  Takođe najavljuje i svođenje finalnog spiska za Evropski šampionat, na koje za sada ne ide samo Stefan Pot, koji je zamenio povređenog Stefana Jovića.  Ostaje još četiri igrača, koje treba “precrtati”.

Velike nade se polažu u srpsku reprezentaciju na Eurobasketu, koja se smatra jednim od najvećih konkurenata za uzimanje evropske krune.

Tonight’s best player was Miroslav Raduljica with 15 points and 4 rebounds, while Miloš Teodosić was declared as the tournament’s MVP. He received the award from Igor Rakočević. Serbia’s playing style and fitness shows many reasons for optimism, while Teodosić’s presence marks a key difference on court.

The crowd at the Belgrade Arena had a chance to see more incredible moves, and confirm many of the high hopes for the upcoming Eurobasket.

Coach Đorđević has taken the post-match press conference to point out the effort of his players, the fact that there is always time to be even better, and that he is “never satisfied”. He has also named only one player who won’t be going to the Championship, Stefan Pot, who had replaced the injured Stefan Jović during the preparatory interval. There are four more names to cross over, before the beginning of the European Championship, a competition where Serbia is considered as one of the top contenders.
