Serbian 3×3 Basketball on Edge: Marko Ždero Reveals How Two Tough Matches at the World Championship in Ulan Bator Cast a Shadow but Didn’t Break the Champions!
Two Tough Matches, But Energy Still High
The Serbian 3×3 basketball team didn’t have an easy start at the World Championship in Ulan Bator. First, they beat Belgium, but then lost to Australia. Marko Ždero, the coach and legend of Serbian 3×3, openly says: “We had two tough matches at the start, exactly as we expected.” Belgium is a known rival, and Serbia opened the game strong, with great energy and control. However, a bit of relaxation at the end brought uncertainty, but they finished the match as planned.
Australia: The Stumbling Block
Australia is a known rival, and their physical play and high shooting percentage were a tough challenge for the Serbian team. “We knew we were in for a physically tough duel, and the Australians were relaxed and made a lot of shots at a high percentage,” says Ždero. The result was what it was, but that’s not the end of the story.
Moving Forward, No Giving Up!
Serbia isn’t planning to stop. On Thursday, they face Madagascar and Germany. Group winners go directly to the quarterfinals, while second and third place teams play in the round of 16. Serbia is defending the world champion title and won’t give up easily.
Weather Conditions and Preparation
Although the weather in Ulan Bator isn’t ideal, the Serbian team is well-prepared and motivated. “We are preparing for the next matches, analyzing opponents, and moving forward,” Ždero says.
Conclusion
The Serbian 3×3 basketball team has shown that being a champion isn’t easy. Two tough matches at the start tested them but didn’t break them.
