Hi mate!! I was lost in the mountains for holidays and could not post till now.
Congrats on the HUGE win. I can imagine how incredible it tastes given the context. Perhaps the first B3 final decided with a buzzerbeater?
Some thoughts on the game, for those of you who are interested in the details:
- As I was a slight favorite, I was expecting that Kozklik took one of two paths: i) a double GDP in case he played inside attack, as my inside prediction was a real possibility and in this case, he would be up one GDP, or ii) only one GDP (with or without a zone) in case he played patient or motion, as he would try and make me miss my (very likely) inside GDP and therefore would not need a double GDP. To be safe in both scenarios, I played LP (he could probably not guess it in case of scenario (i) as I've bary played with any of the two teams in big games) and no GDP, in case of scenario (ii).
- When I saw the tactics, I thought I was gonna win the game. Not by much, perhaps 8-10 points. The game was under control, but fatigue affected my team more than Goldena. The problem with my LP was its configuration: due to some recent drops by De Hoog and the backup players, I needed to make some repositioning that implied backups were not fully adequate for it, and a couple of starters had to play more minutes than they should. I paid for it in the last minutes of the game, when Goldena came back after a 12-point deficit.
- The final minutes were just crazy. Without the injury, I think the game would have been mine. However, I must admit that Goldena was much better prepared in case of injuries (as he showed in the semifinal), and this is also part of the game.
I would like to congratulate Kozlik for gathering such a strong and varied roster and to have the courage to make such an aggressive decision in the final as playing Motion plus 3-2 and inside GDP. He did not make me miss the GDP but his defense and his perfect 7-men configuration turned things around.
Anyway, I'm incredibly happy with my season. Getting to B3 final once again in Utopia is just incredible. Finances are crazy as TV and merchandising incomes are really low, but I'm making a big effort to make it possible. I hope I can fight again for the title in the next season.
BB, I love you (except for the last second in the final)!
