Norrköping is Sweden’s champion again.
After 4-2 in the matches, the Dolphins had to raise the dent on the field.
– I love my team very much, says MVP Felix Terins.
Norrköping’s dolphins He won the regular season and was a big gold medal favorite. After a recent home win, the defending champions got a chance to secure a new title in their sixth final match against Jämtland.
But then an away win was required, something that no team has yet succeeded in in the final series.
The dolphins came out strong, fast and with a sharp shot. With five of the ten three-pointers already in the first period, the away team was able to tie the fist at 30-18. For a time, the lead was up to 17 points.
“May I say sorry”
Jimtland, who had never been in the final before, came back in second and cut the distance to five points led by star CJ Wilson. But Dolphins was the better team and had 40-51 in the break. Before the last period, the progression was up to 12 points.
RT Guinn made an attempt and ignited the home crowd with five quick points in the fourth game, but when Norrköping again began pulling tricky three-pointers, the home team couldn’t stand it.
In the end Norrköping won 91-81.
A lot of people thought we should win, but they didn’t want to. It is not easier to win two consecutive years. The feeling today was that we supported each other. If we make a mistake, we’ll shoot it right away and that’s why we won today, says captain Tim Schuberg.
You can do this away from home as well and you don’t have to take advantage of the land advantage on your land.
– You have to say sorry to David Bergstrom (club manager) for that. He’s thinking about the economy, but he has to take it for the team today.
“I can not Talk”
23-year-old Felix Terenz scored 23 points per game and was named MVP in the recent series.
– He’s amazing. It has evolved a lot over the years with Miku and trains mostly to get better. He’s strong and we have a reason, and everyone on the team believes in him, says Schuberg.
When Sportbladet spoke to Terin himself an hour after the last signal, his voice was hoarse, but he still received a few words.
– I’m speechless, what a fucking group, what a heart we have for each other. Love through this group. Now I will pick the best player in the final, but we have a lot more on the team who can get this award, says Terence and continues:
– You shouldn’t take gold for granted, but what a feeling it is to play in front of an audience. We are selling stands for the first time and I don’t know how long their servers have been down. It’s basketball candy at its best. It’s a magically sick feeling.
How are you going to celebrate?
– I don’t know if it should be written about in the newspapers. There is an open bar in the hotel, more than I can say.
