Djordje Curcic-M
Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.
The most exciting game of round 22 in the JLS took place in Cacak. This derby game ended with only one-point defeat on the road of one of their biggest challengers Crvena Zvezda (16-6) to second ranked Borac Cacak (19-3) 71-70 in the game for the second place. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Crvena Zvezda. Borac Cacak dominated down low during the game scoring 48 of its points in the paint compared to Crvena Zvezda’s 26. Strangely Crvena Zvezda outrebounded Borac Cacak 39-25 including 29 on the defensive glass. Guard Djordje Curcic-M (194-2005) fired 21 points for the winners. Guard Matija Milosevic (193-2005) chipped in 11 points. Center Lazar Gacic (212-2005) produced 15 points and 5 rebounds for lost side. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Borac Cacak have a solid three-game winning streak. They maintain second position with 19-3 record having just two points less than leader Mega SM. Crvena Zvezda at the other side keeps the third place with six games lost.
Another interesting game was a derby match between two teams from Beograd: Dynamic BG (#4) and Zitko Basket (#6). Zitko Basket was defeated at home 90-102 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. Worth to mention a great performance of power forward Ognjen Romic (205-2005) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 19 points and 13 rebounds. Aleksa Ristic contributed with 26 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists for the winners. Swingman Marko Djordjevic (193-2004) replied with 29 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists for Zitko Basket. Zitko Basket’s coach Lazar Vukoslavcevic rotated eleven players in this game, but that didn’t help. Dynamic BG (14-7) have an impressive five-game winning streak. They maintain fourth position. Newly promoted Zitko Basket dropped to the seventh place with 12 games lost.
Bottom-ranked Konstantin Nis managed to get a second victory, breaking the six-game losing streak on Sunday night. This time they won against eleventh-ranked Sloboda U. 88-83. Luka Draskovic had a double-double by scoring 32 points and 12 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners.
