So much is at stake.
The Adriatic League Championship, the victory of the sworn rival and a ticket to the Euroleague.
The stormy final series between the Red Star and the Belgrade partisan will end tonight (Monday, 21:00 Israel time) in the most dramatic way possible in game number 5.
The two teams play in the same place - the old Alexander Nikolic hall with 7,000 seats. The series is not played in the big hall, the Stark Arena, where there are 20,000 seats. The hall is the same hall, but the difference is big. The fifth will host the Red Star who finished the regular season in first place, so it holds a significant advantage.
To all the spices that make up the suspense film should be added the icon Zhlimir Oberdovich.
The head coach arrived after a season of freedom, chose to return home and gave up the Euroleague (Partisan played in the EuroCup this season) to return the crown to its former glory.
That is, to bring her back to the Euroleague.

The partisan had two options.
Winning the EuroCup or winning the Adriatic.
The EuroCup win was missed due to a surprise home loss to Bursaspor in the quarter-finals.
Now, the second option remains.
The thing is, the opponent wants to win in order to maintain its place in the senior factory.
As expected, due to the crazy emotions between the two sides, the series was extremely turbulent and there was a stage where there was a great deal of fear that it would not even come to an end.
Game number 3 faced an explosion after less than a minute before the end the referees stopped the game due to throwing objects by partisan fans. The players had already gone down to the locker room, but in the end the game was a month after a long break and Partisan won.
Partizan fans are giving us CHILLS 😲

The day after that game, Partizan was punished with a large fine and closing the front rows in some of the stands.
In the end, Partizan went on to win big even in the game 4 - 84: 112 - and tied the series at 2: 2.
If she wins tonight, she will complete a huge makeover.
Yam Madar experiences all this crazy atmosphere that is unparalleled in Europe in its first season outside of Israel.
In the first three games he did not stand out, but in the fourth he was already very good with 12 points.
During the series, Madar told the local press: "It's crazy. I've never experienced anything like this. It's a lifelong experience."

It should be noted that the loser will not lose hope regarding the Euroleague.
Due to the fact that the Russian teams will not participate in the Euroleague next season, the factory will distribute two free tickets and the loser will be a serious candidate to get one of them, which means there may be derbies next season in the Euroleague as well.
