Tjädermo with an up and Gijon with three ups
A very nice training update

Great work!

The first scrimmage is played and we won against Greece.
Unfortunately scrimmages don't give a lot of WR points so let us see what will happen.

We had a really strong offense and rebounding. The starters played more minutes than I hoped but we will see if I find a way how to manage it better.

I don't like this. We won against a strong team and lost a rank -.-

On monday we will play against Portugal. I will test something new. I don't know if it will be successful, but it is necessary.

Sounds interesting!

Second scrimmage played and won

Today I tried an Inside Isolation. Funny coincidence: Portugal had the same idea.
But compaired to Portugal I had another thinking behind the tactic. I used Widerström as the C. Most of you know that there are better choices but my idea was: use his passing. The thing behind Iso Inside is that one of the inside players starts a play. He will try to score or pass the ball. So I hoped, that Widerström would pass and pass and pass and sometimes block.
Unfortunately he took 12 shot attempts, luckily he scored 5 of them. But what's more important: he had 8 assists and 4 blocks. Plus 11 rebounds. He was on a good way to achieve a triple double.
Sandbom was the perfect partner for Widerström today. He finished with 30 points on a 14-17 (82,4%) shooting! It was like he had the whole paint for himself. I hope it was thanks to the great passes of Widerström and Martinsson.

Our defense was really strong again. 12 and 11 as ratings and we hold Portugal to 34-93 (36,6%) FG and only 1-23 (4,3%) 3pt. Our 47,7% weren't that strong, but it was good.

Next week we will play against Norway... Let's see what I will try against them

+3,5 points and still rank 20 in Europe.

103:92 against Norway. The third quarter was a desaster, but we managed to win. Good game!

Gained a few points in the ranking aswell. Keep up the good work!
