Dynamic cadets defeated the Mega team with a score of 89:77 (21:27, 29:21, 21:21, 26:19) and won the title of champion of the Cadet League of Serbia!
The final match was played over two days; it began in a great atmosphere at the “FMP Arena,” but was interrupted on Monday with 4:21 minutes remaining and Dynamic leading 81:77 due to a power outage caused by a major fault in the electrical network. The final continued on Tuesday at 1:00 PM, when we crowned the new champions.
The most efficient players in the championship team were Miličić with 28 and Zorić with 18 points, while for Mega, Jarc scored 33 and Bjelica 23 points.
Lazar Miličić, son of Darko Miličić, earned the title of the most valuable player of the final tournament. Miličić Junior reached the MVP title with a total of 61 index points.
Mega opened the game slightly better and, thanks mostly to the inspired Bjelica, maintained a small lead of up to four points, until Dynamic took an 18:17 lead in the 8th minute. However, Mega regained control and led 27:21 at the end of the first period.
Mega’s center Bjelica was unstoppable at the start of the second quarter, leading his team to 34:25 with a series of points, assisted by the excellent Jarc. The hosts remained within reach the entire time, and in the 15th minute, it was 38:34. Two minutes later, Miličić and Aduramo brought Dynamic to “plus 1” (43:42), after which Zorić tied five points to push the lead to 50:45; at halftime, it was 50:48 for Dynamic.
Mega took the lead again at the start of the third period, while Miličić kept Dynamic in the game, and after 26 minutes, it was 66:58. Dynamic made a great 11:0 run to lead again (69:66). Mega went a long time without scoring until Stepanović’s three-pointer for a tie, but Dynamic went into the final break with a two-point advantage – 71:69.
Everything was open in the last quarter, and for a while, it was a point-for-point game. Then Mega made more mistakes, giving Dynamic a 77:71 lead in the 33rd minute. The brilliant Jarc scored, but then Bjelica committed his fifth personal foul, which was a major problem for Mega. A trade of three-pointers followed, and with 4:21 remaining, Dynamic led 81:77. At that moment, the electricity went out in the arena and the entire neighborhood, so after a one-hour break, the rest of the match was moved to Tuesday.
The game continued exactly as it ended on Monday, with a trade of three-pointers and a series of misses on both sides. When Zorić scored for 90:82 with a minute and a half remaining, it was clear that Dynamic was one step away from the title. Mega attempted three-point shots, Stepanović reduced the lead to 83:90 from the free-throw line, and Zorić put an end to Dynamic’s great victory with a new three-pointer 23 seconds before the end. Omerović also hit a three, and on the other side, Aduramo scored for two 15 seconds before the buzzer (95:86). Timeouts followed that could change nothing, and the great celebration of the Dynamic cadets could begin.
In the third-place match, Partizan celebrated in a suspenseful game against Red Star – 87:85 (27:19, 24:24, 16:18, 18:26).
The most points for the winning team were scored by Jovanović (22) and Radovanović (18), while in the losing team, Veselinović scored 30 and Janjušević 21.
