On Tuesday afternoon, an international golf match will be played between Sweden's basketball star Pelle Larsson and Finland's Mikael Jantunen.
It is supposed to be a friendly one after Finland just sent Sweden on in the World Cup qualifier the other day, by defeating Croatia.
- It was bitter with the loss at home against Slovenia, but the Finns helped.
We sat in the lobby and were very happy that it was enough anyway.
So now you thank by bidding on a round?
- Yes exactly, something like that maybe.
I'm bidding on it.
After Sweden's match against Slovenia, with world player Luka Doncic, Larsson was hailed by NBA star Goran Dragic.
The Slovenian told Sportbladet that he likes how Larsson played.
The Swedish 21-year-old initially had the most focus on the loss, but has now taken on the tribute.
- It's fun.
I was a little surprised when I read, because we quarreled a lot during the match.
But it's fun to get that respect from someone like him.
Dragic said that he was surprised by the Swedish team's quality and toughness.
He told Larsson during the match: "You are a tough player so keep your head high".
- It was my job to try to disturb him as much as possible.
During the match, you are enemies, and if you can be friends afterwards, it's fun, says Larsson.
