"Everyone contributed today." Even when it didn't work out, we believed in each other, we supported each other, everyone is responsible for this in their own way, and that's the most important thing in the team," said the captain of the Serbian basketball team.
Captain Bogdan Bogdanovic he spoke after a tough overtime win over Australia in the quarter-finals of the Olympic tournament - 95:90. "Boomers" were leading by 24 points at one point, he recalls Sport Klub.
"It was a very difficult game, I'm glad we showed character. We didn't give up. They hit difficult shots, but that didn't stop us, which shows the character of the team. Everyone contributed today. "Even when it didn't work out, we believed in each other, we supported each other, everyone is responsible for this in their own way, and that's the most important thing in the team," said the 31-year-old.
Bogdanovic recorded 17 points, five rebounds and six assists, with a utility index of 16 in almost 37 minutes on the floor.
"Perhaps some expected an easier game against Australia, but this is how the quarterfinals, the most difficult game of the tournament, look like."
When asked about the most difficult game in his career, the 196 cm tall guard said with a smile:
"I don't even remember the one against (South) Sudan."
He did not "spread" the story much about the upcoming game, most likely against the USA:
"The tactics are the same. "Sacrifice, teamwork, spirit and faith," underscored Bogdanović, the best scorer in the history of the Serbian national team.
The rival for the place in the final will be known after the end of the game in which the Americans play against the Brazilians. Kickoff is at 21.30:XNUMX p.m.

Vučić is not defending the state, but himself from the state. With a drum on his back and a guitar in his hands, this man-orchestra performs two or three of the same songs without hearing, with falsifications and falling out of rhythm.
