Zadar Impressions

So,after a day of rest,I'm finally at full physical strenght,and at full mental capacities to write what happened in Zadar.I 'll use a form of a timetable to make look as it makes sense.

DAY I

06:00 Wake-up.Brush teeth and what else you have to do in the bathroom

06:30 The start.We began our journey from Zenica.It should take us some 6 hours to get to Zadar,which is some 750+ km away from Zenica,at the Croatian coast.I'm riding with Orhan and Dzeno.Nice kids ( I say kids since they're 3 years younger then me)

07:00 Got to Vitez.So far so good.

08:00 Bugojno.Feel a little ill.

09:00 Komar mountain.Had to stop.My stomach hurts.Almost vomited

10:00 Suica.Finally had something to eat.Fell great.

10:30 The Bosnian-Croatian border.Things go without any problems.

11:00 Split.Not anything more.

12:00 Finaly there.Feel tired.Luckily we didn't have a game that day.

14:00 Lunch.

16:00 Zzzzzzzzzz.

19:00 We go out.A nice 4 hours of chillin' at the Old Town of Zadar.

23:00 Sleep.Big game(s) tomorrow.

DAY II

06:00 Uaaagh!Good Morning!

07:30 Breakfast.Tost,nothing special.

09:30 GAME I : KK Kengur (Zenica BIH) - KK Vajda (Cakovec CRO) 96:63

1st Q: Our team starts slow,and Vajda score a few back-to-back 3 pointers, and lead us 8:9.Time out.After it,we shift into second gear.We race to a 20 point lead.

2nd Q: Jawn.We just keep it tight at the back and get our lead even into the 40 points mark.

3rd Q: Vajda get some points back,but not too many.A 30 point lead is still enough.

4th Q: Another lame one.It ended at 33 point.

My contribution: 1 Foul,12 points and 5 rebounds in cca 18 min of play.

12:00 Feel a little tired,but happy.Lunch.Next game is supoused to be hard.We play the champion of Macedonia, KK Playmaker Skoplje.

13:30 GAME II : KK Playmaker (Skoplje MAK) - KK Kengur (Zenica BIH) 50:70

1st Q:Well this sucks.Our opponent was 30 minutes late.Nevertheless,we start of the better,with a 13 point lead,thanks to some defence pressure from yours truly.

2nd Q: A hard battle with a lot of turnovers on each side.It ends with 8 points for us.

3rd Q: A rather lame one,with one exception.Unfortunately,number 8 from Skoplje twisted his ankle.Sad.

4th Q: We owned our opposition in this one.Or lead was even 34 points at one point,but Playmaker made it 20 in the last 3 minutes.Next up,the Final.

My contribution: No fouls,6 points and 2 rebounds.

15:00 Lunch,Yummy.

18:00 Out to town.Some drank beer,I had a few cokes.

22:00 Oops.Forgot that us 10 need to the make it with 1 car.Five guys at the back.Never again....never.Period.

23:00 Zzzzzzzzzzzz.

06:00 Zzzzzzzzzz.Overslept.

08:00 Breakfast.Yummy.

12:00 THE FINAL: KK ABC Zadar (Zadar CRO) - KK Kengur (Zenica BIH) 82:91

1st Q:The final against the hosts.A hard cookie.A lot of turnovers from our side. a 2 point lead for us.

2nd Q: Again a really tense game.We even score a 3 pointer at the dying seconds of the half,and end up with a 1 point lead, 28:29.

3rd Q:Wow.The best quarter of the tournament,hands down.We had everything,from blocks,and 1 plays,hustle,to 3 pointers.We have a 18 point lead,a perfect play.

4th Q: Just bringing it home.We are champions!

My contribution: 1 foul,1 block and 4 points, as well as 2 turnovers.
