MICIC: It was tough when Clyburn got injured

Anadolu Efes basketball players defeated Karsiyaka 3:0 in the final series and thus won the title. The best player of Efes, Vasilije Micic, reflected on the final series.

The Serbian representative scored 29 points in the third match, thus leading his team to a convincing victory and the title.

“I am very happy for the team, we have been together for five years. At least the backbone of the team is that much together. I want to congratulate the entire staff of the club on their success because they do everything they need to for us. I also congratulate the Karsiyaka on a great season, they are a great team and it is not easy to beat them,’ said Vasilije.

Micic is aware that he did not play well throughout the playoffs.

“I had two terrible games against Fener. When a bad match happens, I try not to think about it because there will always be a new challenge. My teammates know how much I train and work, I would especially like to congratulate Clyburn. I was scared when he got injured because the same thing happened to me and I’m happy that he’s fine,’ commented the Serb.

Finally, he reflected on a rather bad edition in the Euroleague.

“I don’t think we had an unsuccessful season in the Euroleague. The new thing for us was Larkin’s injury, and he is my favorite teammate. Kruno Simon, which meant a lot to me, is gone. We managed to catch a good form but too late to win the playoffs. If the backbone of the team stays together, we can do a lot. We are a special team, a good team and I don’t think we failed,’ Micic concluded.
