We won our third game in a row this past Sunday. It was an away game against the last place team in the league. Before I had joined Debrecen we had lost to this team the last game before Christmas so coach really wanted to win this game. It also was crucial that we win this game to distance ourselves from the bottom two spots in the league. The last two places in the league will need to have a "play-out" at the end of the regular season to determine who will move down to the second league next season. We played well for the most part. We were up by about ten in the first half and let them back in the game before halftime. Then in the second half we gradually started to pull away with the lead and ended up winning by 17. It was a little more relaxing not having such a close game for once at the end. I played well and had 29 points and 7 rebounds.
It was the longest bus trip of the season - about 7 hours - so we left the day before. I don't mind leaving the day before so we don't need to leave so early in the morning, but it is nice to sleep in your own bed. I also find it interesting that for our meals we always get served pitchers of carbonated water. I really don't care for the stuff that much so I always have to get a pitcher of still water and some of the other Americans take advantage of that as well. I guess that's just part of being immersed in the culture.
Our next game is also away this Saturday. I guess it's only about an hour trip so that will be nice for a change. I will keep you updated on how it goes. I hope all is well back home.
Take care and God bless,
Mike
