Open quotes!
“You? You have to ask him,” smiled Marko Guduric when asked if Petrusev had the best night wearing the senior shirt.
"But I like the way he played. He accepted the challenge playing against Valanciunas and Motiejunas. Incredible game. I'm in the NBA for a reason," added the Serbian national team veteran.
"On the main stage, for sure. I got injured in the first few games, so I'm still physically not where I should be. But I'm happy to be able to help Milutinov, who had so much work today in defense defending Valanciunas. For me, it was an opportunity to step in, especially in attack," said Petrusev.
"We were tough on him. We didn't let him go to his places. Milutinov has a huge body and was the first to make things difficult for him. He was making him tired. And when he got tired, playing with the big reserve was more easy", analyzed Petrusev.
