This year - it's Igokea.

n basketball every year there are teams that you can not measure in any way, in short, you can not explain the reasons that make this team from the game in the game to win or play uncertain finals against, on paper at least, more quality assemblies.

This year - it's Igokea.

The previous season's team was known for expressly releasing the coach and constant changes in the game's staff this year playing inexplicably good.

The live test is difficult to pass. When you analyze them in detail, nothing will be lost.

They do not have a dominant center, they do not have killer shooters, the coach is the new face in this competition, there are plenty of players who have been injured, poor percentage of shots or the inability to adjust from some other, more attractive destinations.

Jorovic was once a representative of Serbia, but he was severely injured from strong contracts, and through Vrsac and Cacak he returned to life. Štemberger was once dislodged from Zadar, he was remembered in Split by being beaten by Rawle Marshall, and last season he was injured in Slovakia. Corsley Edwards recorded 10 appearances for New Orleans Hornet seven years ago, and then dominated Saudi Arabia, Egypt and China (otherwise, Edwards is Igokea's 19th career career and if he hurts him, he could attack the Brunei Sundow's record currently playing in Osijek, who is in his 22nd career career, is changing the team.

Although, Sundown is one year younger than Edwards). Nebojsa Joksimovic used to be a representative of Slovenia at the Eurobasket, played for Scavolini and Lokomotiv Kuban, and is currently a reserve back in Igokea. Milan Dozet played after the Stars in Ukraine, Greece and Cyprus, and in Aleksandrovac since 2010. Marko Brkic is this second term in this team, while Milos Komatina was wearing the jersey of Ulcinj and Mogren among other clubs.
It's not exactly that we presented Chicago Bulls from the 96th, did they ...

However, this Igokea demonstrates an undeniable team spirit from the beginning of the season. Edwards played in innings games, Sulovic played a match with a broken hand, nobody forced the attack, wing centers and centers are very dangerous in a shot from the distance and in defense defends the whole team and fills the racket as an American team. Bajic has at his disposal eight players who are between 195 and 205cm high so they can take almost everything they do in defense - what they do (their combined defense has thwarted most of the opponents.)

This season, Igokea is the best in the only real defense measurement segment - the opponent's percentage of shots from the game (the number of points earned does not mean much and is mainly related to the rhythm of the match.) 110 points are absolutely not a bad defense if the rhythm is high and the attacks are short 60 points scored do not mean a bad attack. Only percentages of rank to rank good defense or attack are important.)

The bearers of the game have 30+ years and have mostly exceeded hunting periods on personal statistics. In the end, we left the key figure of this result of the playmaker, which we will present in the best five league league in the current season (I know it's not half an season etc ... but now there is no return)

IDEAL PUPPET ABA LEAGUE

PG: Cliff Hammonds .... 12 points, 4 assists, 4.5 assists and 2 steals per match. Graduated architect from Clemson University is without a doubt the best play of the ABA League at this time. The game in both directions (the reputation of the college was built primarily as a great defender and thief of the ball.) Extremely long arms (range of 208cm) give him the ability to cut the bands and attack dribiling the opposing bugs from all possible angles. The expression of the face is not changing regardless of the events on the field, Hammonds always at first glance controls his emotions and never tries to "show what he knows" when he is not shot, and the rest of the team plays well (the match with Partizan is an ideal example of that ). Coaches Igokee constantly emphasize his professionalism, commitment to training and subordinating personal statistics. Cliff was once in a joke, half in reality saying that his basketball is a hobby and he is doing a job only when he finishes his career and dedicates himself to what is
graduated.

SG: Terrico White 13.6 points 3 rebounds, 2 steals 1.5 assists

In a really modest competition on this position so far (Only how much White, Sutalo and Rakocevic have been singled out, although no one thrashes the triples better than 30%! In general, only three beats of tennis among the top 10 percent of the penalty for three points There are no more than one affected troika per match: home-made shooters seem to disappear from this space, replaced by players for tactical fouls and blocking, and disappearance in attack.) I decided on White's purely for the attacking explosion against Cibona in Zagreb when he scored 36 points with a shot from the game 13-15. Tricrico if nothing makes the moves that are worth coming to the hall. White is unmatched by the best athlete in the ABA League (reflecting 1.03 meters, hand range 206cm and only 3.7% fat in the body) and NBA potential, but even his percentage of shots are not impressive at this time.

SF: Vladimir Lucic 13.4 points 5 rebounds

He started the Hurricane 25, 16, 18 and 22 points in the first four games played and scored 27 out of 29 free throws, but also seemed to be getting tired lately. Against Cedevita 8, against Igokea only 5 points. The percentage of shots is still good (50% for two, 36% for three, 82% of free throws), but the form is definitely not the one from the beginning of the season. He has the best shot in the league from the most difficult position - a shortened corner corner four meters from the basket.

PF: Boris Savovic 12 points, 9 rebounds, 52% for 2, 38% for three points

Jumping the most impressive player of the league at this moment. I'm almost controlled by the defensive jump of the Red Star. After an offensive jump, he is also among the top three players. The wider defense with his excellent three-point shot, greatly runs from defense to attack, even arrives and decides to play a match (Sasari). One of the main reasons why the Red Star is in a series of 10 wins (About it a little lower.)

C: Darko Planinić 16.2 points, 62% for 2, 6.2 rebounds, 1 blockade, 7 extradited fouls

Currently leading the MVP. Free throws kick for the center of a phenomenal 85%, which, with seven outright fouls, is a winning combination. almost in every game I am introducing my opponent's team into a bonus in a quarter. He was at the outlet of Wiro and before the start of the season and it is really hard to expect the next ones to wear the same jersey. Extremely mobile and qualitative in play two to two for your height. Only once this season did not score a double-digit number of points. Crvena Zvezda is mentioned above in a series of 10 victories. They also win when they are away from a good game (Cibona, Siroki) but more important for Vlade Vukoičić's team after they play in Podgorica next Saturday, Zvezda will have the easiest schedule of all the pretenders to the top of the table until the end of the season with one match home more (Split so Zadar). All teams from the top apart from the Igokea Zvezda will be home to the next season (Partizan, Cedevita, Buducnost). The only two heavy tours from the second week of December to the end of the season are already mentioned by Igokea and Olimpija. At least at this point, the star has good prerequisites for hitting one of the first two places.

When I already mention Olympius in the collision of two agonies, Olympias interrupted their own and extended Cibona to the epic proportions. The former basketball giant from Zagreb has long been a team with no vision and any structure, about the finances not to talk. Okay, they signed Darija Šarić who has not been playing for over two months and who should be one of the players (at least they say), but they did it only with the help of a security firm (!?) Who paid the compensation to Zagreb and which now lays claim to this talented player. In this saga, which has no end to Tata Šarić
said that he was raising his hands from directing his son's career and that she was going in the wrong direction. Until the last moment, Cedevita with Acom Petrovic was in the race for bringing Saric. Cibona still has no coach or it seems that anyone wants this job.

Aco Petrovic returned to Cedevita, a team that led to F4 Eurocup two seasons ago, and they returned points. As soon as he sees Acu on the bench, Bracey Wright can not miss, and the rest of the team collapsed and Krka received 97 points. We all know the game well ... a lot of shots for three points, a lot of running, not much defense and an American playmaker with all the powers. Marques Green does not seem to be the playmaker.

Since the arrival of Aleš Pipan, the veteran team of MZT also woke up. They lost the first match under his leadership from the Stars, and then entered a series of good games. They took Olimpija away, Cedevita home, then lost to Igokea, and again tied two victories - Zadar away and Solnok home, enough for the middle of the table.

How crazy this season of the ABA League is best shown by the example of the current poker player - Zadar (Solnok we do not count, they are mainly tourism here). Zadar is currently at a ratio of 3-8 to basket with a difference of -56. Three victories in Zadar came against Zvezda dom, Cedevita away and Igokea home. Zadar was on the verge of victory and against Partizan in Pionir (37 minutes). That's why they regularly lost their matches against Krka, MZT, Široki, Budućnost and Cibona.

Everything is possible and nothing is certain ... the motto of this season of the ABA League.
