THE TAKE

CEZ Nymburk is hoping to finally make a mark in Europe and will start its Eurocup regular season Group H campaign at home against KK Buducnost. Nymburk has won the last five Czech titles including the past two under current head coach Muli Katzurin. The Czech side has remained more or less the same as last season and has started the domestic season a perfect 13-0. Katzurin has a very balanced team which includes a number of players who all can pass, shoot and defend. The leader thus far has been new addition forward Goran Jagodnik, who has scored over 12 points per game. But three other players are averaging more than 12 points a game - guard Justin Gray, forward Blake Schilb and guard Arthur Lee. Also new to the team, Gray has dished out over 3 assists and swiped nearly 2 steals a contest. Schilb and Lee are both back and handing out more than 2 assists and grabbing nearly 2 steals. Forward Ladislav Sokolovsky is also averaging in double figures along with nearly 4 rebounds. Forward Michal Kremen has hit a shade under 50% from long range while scoring 9 points a contest and forward Petr Benda is the worker in the paint with a team-high 4.3 rebounds as well as 1.5 steals, 1.2 blocks and 8.8 points. The thing that will make Nymburk tough is that anybody can score in bunches while Katzurin has his players playing tough defense and hitting three-pointers. Buducnost will not be easy however as the Montenegro side bounced Galatasaray in the second qualifying round to reach the regular season. Dejan Radonjic is back as head coach and has his team in the upper ranks of the Adriatic League. Radonjic's main weapon has been forward Vladimir Dasic, who scored 19.5 points and had 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in the qualifiers against Galatasaray and averages nearly 13 points a game in the Adriatic League. Forward Vladimir Micov has been an excellent all-rounder with more than 11 points, 4 rebounds, nearly 3 assists and nearly 2 steals in the Adriatic League. And forward Marko Simonovic is averaging in double figures as a major long range threat. Guard Nemanja Gordic and guard Nikola Otasevic do a good job sharing the playmaking duties and center Nenad Misanovic and forward Ivan Maras both can provide an offensive spark if needed. This one promises to be an interesting battle.

KATZURIN, MULI
CEZ Nymburk
"Our expectations are high, of course, Eurocup is one of the peaks of the season. It is a very good competition, with great teams and great basketball. We know that the game against Buducnost will not be an easy one, but there are no easy games in the Eurocup. Our rival proved its quality in the qualification, it has a young team with good chemistry and I am expecting a very interesting game."

"We are aware of the fact that Buducnost is a good team that beat Galatasaray. But we also have a really good team that has high quality. Especially now, when we play on our homecourt I expect to win. I would be very dissapointed if we don't. Simply - we accept only our victory."

Nymburk soon restored a double-digit edge, 60-50, while an outstanding Gray took over in crunch time. Buducnost had two chances to tie the game, but Dasic and Gordic missed from downtown in the final seconds. Free throws by Schilb allowed all Nymburk fans to celebrate a big win.

Goran Jagodnik got Nymburk going with a layup that Maras quickly erased in the other end. Lee sank a jumper, igniting a 6-0 run that Schilb capped with free throws for a 8-2 Nymburk edge. Milos Bojovic and Dasic rescued Buducnost but Schilb dunked it to keep the hosts ahead at 10-6. Maras insisted with a left-handed layup while Dasic banked in a triple to give Buducnost its first lead, 10-11. Benda scored twice inside but Micov answered to tie it at 16-16. A buzzer-beating driving basket by Gray made Nymburk regain the lead, 18-16, after 10 minutes. Otasevic scored in penetration right at the start of the second quarter but Gray and Lee combined for 9 points in an 13-0 Nymburk run that Sokolovsky capped with a floating layup to give the hosts a 31-18 margin. Gordic finally scored for Buducnost while Schilb and Micov traded free throws for a 33-22 score. Dasic shined with a fast break dunk but Sokolovsky scored off a Nymburk timeout to keep his team way ahead, 35-24. Gordic, Nemanja Simonovic and Dasic brought Buducnost back to life, 37-31, at halftime.

Maras scored after the break and soon added a layup-plus-foul to get Buducnost back in the game, 39-37. The hosts kept struggling to score while free throws by Gordic and Micov completed the guests' comeback, 39-40. Nymburk called timeout to change its defense, as it had already entered the foul bonus. Lee and Micov traded layups, Jagodnik and Marko Popovic struck from downtown while free throws by Lee and a dunk by Benda gave Nymburk a 48-46 lead. Sokolovsky nailed back-to-back triples - one from each corner - for a 54-48 Nymburk margin after 30 minutes. Michal Kremen joined the three-point shootout early in the fourth quarter. Benda scored inside while Lee made free throws to make Nymburk restore a double-digit lead at 60-50. Otasevic buried a three-pointer and Gordic added a jumper to give Buducnost some hope, 61-55, with over 4 minutes to go. Gray followed a jumper with a driving layup but Simonovic kept Buducnost in the game, 65-59. Gray scored again in penetration, hit a triple and soon added free throws for a 72-65 Nymburk lead. Buducnost was not done, however, as free throws by Otasevic and a three-point play by Gordic brought the guests within 72-70. Lee made a free throw with 34 seconds remaining and even when Dasic missed from downtown, Nymburk committed a quick turnover. Gordic also missed from three-point range while free throws by Schilb sealed the outcome down the stretch.

"It was a very tough game for us tonight. Close till the end with us pulling out the victory. Buducnost played a very aggressive defense on the ball. We are not used to this kind of pressure from our domestic competition so it took us a while to get used to it. I also we handled quite well the switching defense of Buducnost being able to score or pass out to open shooters when mismatches occured after the swithes. I am very proud of my players to step up to the challenge in the crucial minutes of the game. We were a bit tired at the end of the game and thats why we commited some unneccessary turnovers and gave Buducnost a chance to get back in to the game. I consider Buducnost to be a high quality team and our club should be proud of tonight's victory."
RADONJIC, DEJAN
KK Buducnost
"We did not open the game as we expected. During the second period our game started to click a lot better and we cut down the lead. In the second half the score was very close, mostly with us only a few points behind, always keeping the chance to win the alive. Unfortunatelly we did not capitalize on our chances and lost the game."

Players

GRAY, JUSTIN
CEZ Nymburk
"It was a good first home game in the competition. We lost pre game jitters quite early and got going. I consider the win to be a very important since in a four team group format a team thats want to keep their chances alive must win all the home games. At the end all that matters is that we pulled out a victory."
