Trio Brandon Tabb, Jackson Rowe and Nathan Dawit had a great day at work when the basketball league had its first draft of the season.
Their game and points harvest was largely what was behind the reigning champions' premiere victory with 101-65.
- First day at work for this season.
Everything was not perfect, and it is clear that you as a coach want to be happy in several parts.
On the other hand, we win the first match, says Dolphins coach Mikko Riipinen to C More.
- We play great defense and attack sometimes, but we mix and match.
The Dolphins had a certain lead of 22-16 after the first period.
But it was only after the second, where the new acquisition Mitchell Smith accounted for two beautiful thumps, that the lead would be all the more comfortable to the numbers 52-38.
A leadership that the YMCA could not tap into.
The mentioned Tabb (19 points), Rowes (15 points) and Dawit (16 points) were decisive throughout the match and YMCA never really had a chance.
It was Norrköping that largely grew into the match in the third and fourth period and got a comfortable win to say the least for big numbers.
- We have to learn to come in and put in three or four sequences that are good.
A desirable start to the league game for the Dolphins - which takes on Nässjö on Tuesday.
