1 ZLS Round 6 (Regular Season): Top-ranked Crvena zvezda wins another game

Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.

1 ZLS top team - Crvena zvezda (6-0) had no problems winning another game on Saturday. This time they crushed fifth ranked Kraljevo (3-3) in Belgrade 100-61. Crvena zvezda dominated down low during the game scoring 62 of its points in the paint compared to Kraljevo's 38. Crvena zvezda forced 27 Kraljevo turnovers and outrebounded them 47-28 including a 19-6 advantage in offensive rebounds. Crvena zvezda looked well-organized offensively handing out 24 assists comparing to just 11 passes made by Kraljevo's players. It was a good game for Israeli guard Romi Levy (190-2000, college: Virginia) who led her team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 18 points and 11 rebounds. Montenegrin center Sanja Aksam (187-2007) contributed with 12 points and 10 rebounds for the winners. Guard Tina Dincic (182-2002) replied with 13 points and 7 rebounds for Kraljevo. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Undefeated Crvena zvezda have an impressive six-game winning streak. Defending champion maintains first position with 6-0 record, which they share with Partizan. Kraljevo at the other side dropped to the sixth place with three games lost. They share the position with Student. Crvena zvezda's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Belgrade to the arena Partizan.
Bottom-ranked Korac Akad. is still unable to win any game. This time they could not use their home court advantage losing their sixth consecutive match to seventh ranked Student (3-3) 87-60. American Leah Scott (183-1993, college: Marshall, agency: Crossover Management) had a double-double by scoring 26 points and 10 rebounds (on 10-of-12 shooting from the field) to lead the charge for the winners and Rachel Theriot chipped in 21 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists (on 8-of-10 shooting from the field) during the contest. The best for the losing side was American guard Denai Bowman (175, college: Binghamton) with 20 points. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Student moved-up to sixth place, which they share with Kraljevo. Newly promoted Korac Akad. still closes the standings with six games lost. Student will play against Novosadska ZKA (#8) in Novi Sad in the next round. Korac Akad.'s supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Belgrade to the arena Ras.
The game in Novi Sad was also quite interesting. Fifth ranked Mega MIS (4-2) played at the court of 8th ranked Novosadska ZKA (1-5). Mega MIS managed to secure a 4-point victory 67-63 on Monday. Valentina Zaric notched a double-double by scoring 17 points and 10 rebounds to lead the effort. Mega MIS's coach Slobodan Subic used an eleven-player rotation in such tough game. Even a double-double of 14 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks by Andjela Jekic did not help to save the game for Novosadska ZKA. Mega MIS have a solid four-game winning streak. They maintain fifth position with 4-2 record. Novosadska ZKA lost fifth consecutive game. They keep the eighth place with five games lost. They share the position with 3 other teams. Mega MIS will meet at home Duga (#11) in the next round where they are favorite. Novosadska ZKA will play against Student in Nis and it may be a tough game between close rivals.

There were no big surprises in other games of round 6: Nibak Nis beat Duga on the road 83-70. Spartak lost to undefeated Partizan on its own court 28-104. Ras unfortunately lost to Vojvodina 021 in Novi Sad 59-66.
