The National team of Serbia won 84 – 61 against Greece in the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 European Qualifiers in the “Aleksandar Nikolić” Sports Hall (also known as Pionir), in Belgrade. It was the first defeat for Hellas in these Qualifiers. Before the game, Greece had already Qualified for China due to its 9 Victories. On the other side, if Serbia wants to participate at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019, Đorđević’s squad needs to win one of the two remaining games in these Qualifiers: against Estonia or Israel. Those games will be played in February. Stefan Jović was the top scorer with 22 points for Sebia. The Point guard from Munich also had 4 assists and 3 steals but 7 turnovers. Two of his teammates finished the game with 13 points each one of them: Miroslav Raduljica and Vasilije Micić. The EuroLeague MVP of November also had 6

Serbia lost in Tel Aviv with a score of 83 – 74. “We reacted very well after defeat against Israel. We know where we made mistakes and, also, why. We analysed some things, talk about them, the way we always do and after yesterday recovering practice, today we are on the court again to get ready for Greece. We need to forget the match against Israel ASAP. We learned something from that game and now we need to focus on Greece. They won’t feel any pressure. Players from their national league are here full of self-confidence and with a desire to prove themselves. They made an excellent result, they will be participants at World Cup. So without pressure they will give their maximum.

In the first game of the November FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 European Qualifiers Window, Israel won 83 – 74 against Serbia in Tel Aviv and ruined the first chance for Aleksandar Đorđević’s squad to book a ticket for China. After the defeat in Israel, Serbia will take the harder road in order to go to the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 and try to defend the silver medal from Spain they won in 2014. During the whole match the national team of Serbia was searching for its own game, and both teams were leading during the match. At the end, the last quarter decided the winner, and, in that period of the game, the guests were clueless against the excellent home team play. Guy Pnini was the top scorer, with 18 points and 3 rebounds in Israel. His teammate Jake Cohen added 14, while two players finished the match

The Serbian national team lost 70 – 63 against Greece in the second part of the World Cup 2019 Qualifications. Aleksandar Đorđević’s squad didn’t show enough energy in Crete against the first team in the Group L. On paper, Serbia had a respectable team but without enough time during preparations process and especially without any friendly games Greece was too strong. Bogdan Bogdanović and company scored only 2 points in the crucial minutes. Also, the team showed lack of communication in defence and maybe that was the main reason why Serbia lost. And the fact that Greeks were guarding Bogdanović very well while his teammates didn’t have any other solution but to pass him the ball in offence. The Sacramento Kings shooting guard (Bogdanović) was the best scorer with 19 points while Stefan Jović (Munich point guard) finished the match with 11. On the other side, Nick Calathes and Georgios
