Today we played againts Solvik.. new team nowbody knew anything about.
I must say I thought they weren't so good but damn I was wrong. They had a few really good players who kept the game alive.
We started out pretty shaky..threw away many balls but luckily enough they didn't start so well either. So both teams struggled to get up the tempo and there was much running back and forth. But we managed to get 4-6 points lead. Great work under the basket and Lee made some important shots in first period. Then second period we started getting into the game and played quite good. We also played good defence..didn't let them take easy shots and great job on rebounds. I must say that i made a hell of the shot in the end of 1st half. From the freaking free throw line on other side of the court...with one hand..straight through the net..Talk about being lucky=) Unfrotuantely it didn't count coz referee had already blown the whistle and time was out...That was a shot you only make once in your lifetime=)
We had 6 point lead before the 2nd half. We increased our lead to 10 points and it felt quite safe....untill it was 4 minutes left to play. We got stressed when they set up full-cort press and we made 4 or 5 turnovers in a matter of seconds and let them back in game. After time out we got us back together and increased a lead to 6 points when it was 1 minute left. We managed to keep our heads cold and felt great relief when the time was out.
I wasn't happy with my game...threw away too many balls and easy mistakes. Missed all my shots and some stupid fouls but I'll learn from my mistakes. I didn't warm up enough and felt like my legs were stuck to the floor. So the whole game was a struggle for me...didn't play like I used to...but only thing that counts is that we WON...6 out of 6 baby!!!!!
Now I'm gonna take off to bed and maybe ask Erika to massage my calves 2morrow:P
