Still before the match: national anthem

At first we made it to 7:4, Pavlović turned the standing from 0:2, assisted by Milosavljević. Đumić added his own part, too, meanwhile he broke a record by getting 2 personal fouls within 2 minutes. But Zvezda switched the standing back to their side (7:8). Even from this point on until the very last end buzz they represented an enormous level of malice, carefully keeping still everything within the boundaries of orderliness. Or, better said, no regulations could prove they made fouls with their clearly hostile actions. Plus they had the amazingly fast Williams as well as Boban Marjanović, the Humane Mountain with his 2 metres and 22 centimetres of height and impossibly long arms. With those arms he could score practically from anywhere. He was also unable to get deactivated. If someone could still do it, that cost at least two personal fouls at once.
Yet it was a huge sight when dauntless Partizan-players still tried and clawed themselves on the larger-than-life Marjanović. The Zvezda-player fell to the floor with his size 52 feet up to the skies. If this match hadn’t been this tragic, I’d have died of laughing.
In the first quarter we kept the pace until 14:14. Until that point it was a very good, exciting match. Then red team rushed away, for the reasons mentioned above. We ended the quarter with 18:26.
In the second part there was wrestling, too, for the ball.

Even though Zvezda was still on the lead (20:28), referees thought it was time for them to join the game.
Not on our side, needless to say.
It's sad to say it out loud, but unfortunately Zvezda brutally kept the match under their control. They were aggressive, rough, violent, but still avoiding the look of violating regulations. Meanwhile the difference was 10 points (23:33), fouls happened on both sides. We couldn't reduce the difference (28:39), Mačvan got injured, his elbow had to be bound. (Afterwards he came back to the ground with bound elbow, to play for his team. A real hero.)
The atmosphere was on top, as always. Grave Diggers were holding torches in their hands, throwing the wittiest sparks of their beautiful mother tongue to Zvezda and their fans.
It was so heavy that some time during the match referees had to stop the game and Milosavljević had to ask them to cheer in a sportsmanlike attitude, without mentioning parents, family trees and sexual organs.
Captain, we love you, but still we have to achieve that this little worm should never ever do it again.
Or, if he still dares to do it, then he should get a punishment that makes him stammer for 2 weeks.
As you can see, Slovenia’s shame, Jaka Blažić made himself visible again not with his commitment, fair play or clear style, but having manifestations that would have made even the biggest, most notorius morons blush. And it was not the first time he made it. I’d really like to know, does he get any kind of punishment after such unsportsmanlike behaviour from his marvellous (NOT) team? Or uncle Čović just ruffles his hair, says something like "there there you naughty boy" and all is done? (Or, what is even more beautiful and the most probably, the whole team including Čović shed tears from laugh watching this and they even encourage this rat to do more.)
The half-time result was 34:43, after a spectacular teamwork was crowned by Saša Pavlović and his giant 3-pointer.
For the third quarter we sped up and made it to 41:45. A lot of chances were missed, as a result Zvezda increased the difference to 42:50. In the meantime Milosavljević was pushed down to the floor. Nothing happened, the referees didn’t whistle. But when Andrić just gave an angry look to one of the American players of Zvezda, the red team immediately got a free throw... At 44:56 Mačvan got fed up and he alone reduced the difference to 50:56 for the end of the quarter with an unbelievable performance.
So did he in the last quarter. First he threw a basket (52:56), then after Đumić’s shot (54:58) he jumped in front of the fans, waving them to scream and cheer louder. Then Tepić was pushed down to the ground, and of course (?) Zvezda got a free throw... At 57:65 Pavlović was fouled out, after very selflessly blocking Marjanović with a bodycheck. We could earn points only from free throws, not because we are dumb, but because there were so many personal fouls. At 62:69 Milutinov was also fouled out, then at 62:70 Murić stole the ball from Blažić. Partizan’s Slovenian was pushed so heavily on the floor then (may we take it as a reaction for the steal?...), that he didn’t just fell, but couldn’t stand up. (The slow motion replay showed his left ankle making an irrational angle after a Zvezda-player pushed him.) Murić needed help even to walk off the floor (Pavlović and Milutinović were supporting him from both sides). Milosavljević pushed us to 65:70, then Zvezda made a 6-point series (65:76). The last basket was scored by Tepić, settling the final result (67:76).
After the match Grave Diggers greeted the players as always, as ALWAYS, as if they would have won the championship. You can see the audience is taking a leave, but they still chant and sing.
Giga respect.
At the post-match press conference Dragan Milosavljević gave an example of modesty and sportsmanlike behaviour.
- Congratulations to Zvezda for their victory and their great play. We didn't play well, we were out of ideas. I am responsible for this defeat, I didn't play well both in the defense and the attacking.
And now you stand up and salute for him.
Here, at the end, 13 minutes of massive ecstasy.

Classic David and Goliath scene: Pavlović vs. Marjanović
