Ognjen Dobric reflected on Serbia\u2019s disappointing EuroBasket campaign, which ended with a Round of 16 elimination against Finland after the team entered the tournament as the clear favorite. Speaking on the \u201c6,75\u201d podcast, as reported by Sport Klub, Dobric also defended Marko Guduric and Vasilije Micic from the criticism they received following Serbia\u2019s early exit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were the ones people criticized the most,\u201d Dobric said about Guduric and Micic. He then addressed Svetislav Pesic\u2019s system: \u201cKari\u2019s system is: not many dribbles. You play pick-and-roll with two or three dribbles and find a solution. That doesn\u2019t suit them. They like to go left, right, play one pick, then another, then a third. And Kari doesn\u2019t like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Dobric, Guduric and Micic often struggled to find their rhythm within the demands of Serbia\u2019s system. However, the most significant comments concerned the physical condition of the Olimpia Milano player.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuduric obviously wants to, but the man can\u2019t even walk because of his Achilles tendon, due to chronic problems he has been carrying for years, since his youth days. Yet he has always answered the call-up and gives everything he has,\u201d Dobric said.<\/p>\n

It was a strong defense of Guduric, shifting the focus from his performances to his commitment. According to his national team teammate, Guduric never held back despite dealing with long-term physical problems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
