On the other side of Hell, a dream was waiting.
Norrköping started the goal and ran without hesitation.
They did it with a Swedish frame and a 23-year-old who will be remembered by many for a long time.
Last season, not many were winners of the Norrköping Dolphin, and then took the gold anyway. This year, everyone thought the champions would win and then they did it again.
– We will go through hell, coach Mikko Rebinin said before the sixth final, but in return, a great honor awaits us.
It wasn’t hard to understand what he meant. With superb backing at home at the back, Jämtland was a nightmare for the opponents. When tickets for the sixth final were released, the Jimtland servers malfunctioned for the third time, and when the ‘Tile Temple’ doors opened before the must-win match, people ran for a seat.
It has been noted that Norrköping had a distant respect for Jämtland. But this time, the dolphins didn’t go through hell.
They jumped.
Already in the first period, the defending champion led by 17 points after shooting three points. Jämtland didn’t make his way into his first-ever final to drop the knife, repeatedly cutting the distance in the match to five points.
But this was the Norrköping match and the last series. Dolphins have been the better team and what makes me happier is that the Swedish players are wearing them.
The only thing to complain about
Adam Ramstedt is a giant and Tim Schauberg is a heart. Elias Desports is the unexpected gold medalist and Felix Terence is the obvious.
I don’t know when a 23-year-old Swedish player was named MVP in the last series, and many will remember Teren’s contribution to the first final for a long time.
Of course, Norrköping has had great imports this season, but in the last final four out of five starters were Swedish (the important three-point shooter of Nathan Dawit in this series finale shouldn’t go unnoticed) and everyone scored 27 minutes Or more.
It was a great definitive series to follow. Crowded booths, dramatic matches and incredible efforts.
The only thing to complain about is that it ended way too soon.
