The young man raised in the nursery, long-secured, performer of a vintage year that already has him booking a spot in the future Segafredo, tickles ambitions and fantasies.<\/p>\n<p>Nicknamed &#8216;the Cobra&#8221; in his homeland, Dobric is the classic element that aligns Balkan grit with a marked ability to adapt, not surprisingly one of the first in the season to react positively to the change of bench at Red Star. Tenaciously linked to his national team as well, from him Virtus will have an element to trigger on both ends of the court. Numbers don&#8217;t tell everything but they do give a verse and in the last Euroleague numerous personal records: from 22 points last April 13 against Fenerbahce, to 5 assists against Munich, to 5 baskets from mid-range against Virtus in the Belgrade game, to 4 triples at Astroballe in March. Another Serbian, then, in the court of Segafredo, which with Dobric goes to add to the roster technical and human qualities and temperament, as also confirmed by the Red Star fans themselves who on social media, after his announcement, emphasized his attachment and character.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":57853,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[307,268,256,248],"tags":[269,265],"class_list":["post-57895","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-euroleague-en","category-primo-piano-en","category-a-league","category-news","tag-app-en","tag-evidence"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57895"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57895\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
