There were only 2 rounds played so far and it's still very beginning of the Regular Season in WABA. What a coincidence that all visitors won their games. Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.
The game in Herceg Novi supposed to be quite interesting. Slovenian Ilrija played at the court of Montenegrin Primorje. Ilrija smashed Primorje 86-63 on Saturday. Ilrija looked well-organized offensively handing out 25 assists comparing to just 7 passes made by Primorje's players. The best player for the winners was power forward Ela Modric (182-2008) who had a double-double by scoring 19 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals (perfect from the field making all six shots). Guard Tina Tomsic (175-2004) chipped in 24 points and 5 assists. Ilrija's coach felt very confident using 10 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. DR Congolese center Abigael Kongolo (190-2007) produced a double-double by scoring 17 points and 17 rebounds for the hosts. Ilrija will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Primorje will play on the road against Sea Stars in Tivat and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
The game in Tivat supposed to be also worth to mention about. Slovenian Jezica played at the court of Montenegrin Sea Stars. Jezica smashed Sea Stars 95-62. Manca Marolt (179-2005) orchestrated the victory with a double-double by scoring 10 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. Julija Pokleka contributed with 15 points and 5 rebounds for the winners. American guard Tatum Forbes (170-2003, college: St.Anselm) replied with 26 points, 7 assists and 4 steals (was perfect 9-for-9 from the free throw line !!!) for Sea Stars. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Jezica will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Sea Stars will play at home against Primorje and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
The game in Herceg Novi was also quite interesting. Slovenian Jezica played at the court of Montenegrin Primorje. Jezica defeated Primorje 60-47 on Friday. Stasa Belc scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists to lead the charge for the winners. Jezica's coach used a ten-player rotation and allowed the starting five to rest. Abigael Kongolo responded with 9 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks. Jezica will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Primorje will play against Sea Stars in Tivat and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
