Look at the phenomenal reaction of Bogdanovic when the Americans asked him about Serbian flags in the hall of Sacramento (VIDEO)
Bogdan Bogdanovic already begins to delight the crowd in Sacramento, and in the first two matches of the NBA, he showed only a part of the lavish talent he has. He scored 12 points against Lakers and 10 against New Orleans, where he really showed his skills with an amazing shot, where he "twisted the knees" of the opponent's player.
- I didn't hit many shots, one or two. We lost again, it's not a good feeling when you lose. We have to make a step forward and to play better in the second part. To work for it even more - those were the first impressions of Bogdanovic after the match, and the reporters noticed that they allowed a lot of easy points to the opponent.
- Yes, we have to change that. They scored a lot of easy points. That is a matter of experience and I hope that we will learn more from game to game.
You like passing to your teammates like you did in Partizan, Serbia, and Fenerbahce?
- As soon as I see an open player, I like to make a pass, that's my style and everybody knows that - said the Serbian player.
How do you like NBA so far?
- I expected it to be more physically harder and faster. But, nothing special about the basketball. It is the same everywhere.
They asked Bogdan how they lost against New Orleans when they were 19 points in the lead.
That is NBA. You have the cases here when someone is leading with more than 30 points and then they lose the game. Even when two big teams play against one another. That happens, that is NBA. That is the quality of the teams, players. That is why we have to be better and to learn.
What do you think about the Sacramento fans?
- They were excellent. Everybody says that NBA fans are different from the rest, but you can see that they know basketball and they know how to react to every decision. To whistle, to shout, to raise the temperature. They are the sixth player.
The chemistry in the team is good, but it looks like that you have the best communication with De'Aaron Fox.
- He's a great player, he's very talented. He is a rookie and he has a lot to learn and I know that he will be an excellent player. I try my best to give him some advice, I tell him what I did in Europe. I know its hard to learn from someone else's mistakes. It is natural to make mistakes, you learn quicker and easier. But, he is a smart guy and he manages to learn from my mistakes - said Bogdan.
It can be seen that this team wants to be competitive to every opponent...
- We try to speed up the game, to hit well and with some consistency. That is important. This is a young team, this is also the first season for me. I can only imagine what it is like for new players.
What is the feeling when you see your people in the stands, with Serbian flags?
- Oh, that is fantastic. I don't know if you know, but Sacramento is one of the favorite clubs in Serbia. Of course, because of Pedja, Vlada, for the two of them the most, and because that is the team of that time. We loved Mike Bibby and Chris Webber, Hedo Tyurkoglu. We loved the entire team. Beautiful times - said Bogdan.
The reporters mentioned that they received information from the time while Bogdan was playing in Europe, they say that he is always firm in duels, that you want to score and to keep fighting...
- Who told you that - asked Bogdan, and he answered that those were scouts.
- I try to be firm every day, to make progress and to be good in the field. I like basketball and that is why I try so hard - concluded Bogdan Bogdanovic.
Watch the entire interview, and the reaction about Serbian flags on the stands is on 4:15.
