Australian Dante Exum reached the final of the ABA League after his triumph against Cedevita Olimpia.
He is certainly one of the engines of Zeljko Obradovic‘s team and it is necessary for him to be up to the task against Red Star Meridianbet. After the victory over the Slovenian representative, Exum turned his thoughts to the next rival.
“Yes, we are in the final and we have been working for it all season. We will have the home-field advantage and we will be ready. I think it will be a different derby than the previous ones and I am very excited. I know it will be important both for us and for them and it will be a great battle between two great teams,’ said Dante.
He also addressed the fans of Partizan.
“The fans here are incredible and a lot depends on the advantage of the home field. We have seen what happens when we allow such a scenario for them. We know them, they know us and it will be a great match.’
The black and white basketball player singled out Facundo Campazzo as the leader of Red Star Meridianbet.
“They have a lot of great players, but Campazzo is the head of that snake.” We need to control him and tp will be important to stop their attacking arsenal. He is a dangerous player and sees the whole field. Due to the height advantage at the low post, we have an advantage against him, but I am sure that they will be ready for it,’ concluded Exum.
