Partizan Meta Force returned to China with their best lineup — Stefan “Gladiator” Milivojevic, Bogdan Dragovic, Milos Supica, and Stefan Torbica — and snatched victory from the Chinese team, closely watched by the global basketball community.

Many eagerly awaited the debut of DeMarcus “Boogie” Cousins at the Masters tournament, and the first team to face the former NBA star center was Partizan Meta Force. Three of the four Serbian players returned to the court after injuries, determined to showcase their best performance.

Milos Supica made a spectacular play, overshadowing Boogie with a two-handed dunk off a rebound. However, the powerful center for Wuxi was not easy to stop, leading his team forward. Almost every scoring opportunity ran through him. He not only scored 9 points but also showed off his playmaking ability, delivering 5 assists in the first half. Meanwhile, the crowd was firmly on Wuxi’s side, chanting the team’s name and cheering on their players and Boogie.

Bogdan Dragovic performed consistently for Partizan Meta Force, contributing 7 points. Stefan “Gladiator” Milivojevic pushed hard in the closing minutes of the game, closing the gap and finishing with 8 points.

With the score tied at 19:19, Partizan Meta Force tried to set up Gladiator for the final shot. The plan didn’t work out, and the ball ended up in Stefan Torbica’s hands. Sensing a small opening for a long-distance shot, Stefan seized the moment and secured the victory for the Serbian team over their Chinese opponents.
