Watching all the Rocky movies streaming on www.channelsurfing.net today after a great road win against Energa Czarni. Last night's game was fun to play in because the crowd was extremely loud. Calling plays was very difficult all game, I had to use hand signals, call huddles during free throws, utilize the timeouts after coach was talking to organize plays and in some cases go to individual players to tell them the play. I'm really starting to see a trend here. Last year in Switzerland I didn't get this type of atmosphere and here it is much more similar to college. For a player it is a lot of fun to play in. I don't want give all the credit to the Czarni fans because although they did make it difficult for us, the loudest section in the gym was right next to our bench where the Polpharma faithfuls were seated.
Carp had a great time sitting next to our fans because he said all game they had a lot of energy and I felt it too. As a player, in an environment like that, it's great to have energy to fuel off of. Our whole team was feeling it I think. It was a great team win and everyone made a contribution to the win. Wins like last night can really give a team a lot of confidence going into the next game. We have a tough battle against one of two unbeaten teams in our league Anwil. Coach will get us prepared with all our tactics and we'll be focused all week looking to bring a win to our home crowd. I hope all is well back in the states. I miss you and will talk to you soon. Until next time...................... Love
