well finally it seems that we can use this blog again. I don’t have time to write much right now, but on the news side of things consider this:
Piibbk vs holbaek 81-103
Sunday we had 6 people going all the way to Holbæk to play a tough game. We are facing a rough spot due to injuries, lack of practise and players generally unable to attend practise and games and it showed.
The first 6 minutes we score an amazing amount of points. And when Kin makes his first basket of the game we look at the scoreboard and see… Home 18 Guests 2 hmmm…. At that point it seemed it would be a very long afternoon, but then the French wonder boy took over and scored 19 points in the rest of the first half, many of those coming from the stripe. Our big guys had trouble finding the basket in the first half and Holbæk had no trouble what so ever with finding the bottom of the net. They shot and made a ton of 3-pointers against our porous zone defense which was exemplified by their import player hitting a crazy deep 3 at the buzzer of the second period. All in all we were down 35 to 51 after the first half.
With only 6 players one could argue that it was game over for piibbk, but we kept playing and kind of came away with a decent result after all. We started playing man to man which limited their open shots, and holbaek started substituting, so somehow we hung in there and actually managed to frustrate a team that had the game in the bag.
Jan got a handful of “easy” opportunities and and-ones, Brian hit a three (his only made shot in the game, but not from the lack of lay upsJ ) At one point we were only down by 11 and in general it was an even game if we forget the first 6 minutes, and trust me they are easily forgotten.
Some of the plays worth mentioning are kim’s coast to coast, jan’s and-ones, math’s fast breaks, math’s block, Brian’s three which he thought was a high post shot and jens’ defense.
For holbæk the stand out players were Kasper Pedersen in the first half and their American in the fourth quarter.
Player of the game: Math, due to his own vote (what a humble kid he is), honourable mention is Kim.
Highlight belongs to yours truly for an assist to jan through the legs of a holbaek center J
Scorers for piibbk: Kim 4, Math 27, Steen 11, jens 13, Brian 3, jan 21 and 2 points for coach I guess because I cannot find them.
Topscorers Holbæk: kasper 30, Evan 23, emil 18
