Basketball Seagulls defeated his blood enemy and once again celebrated the victory in the Finnish Cup: “It’s nice to twist against the lively”

Needed Helsinki Seagulls, which gained a feel for the game on Friday, celebrated the men’s Finnish Cup championship on Saturday.

Salon Vilpas, who made it to the finals with a free ticket, did not easily release “seagulls” on Helsinki’s Mäkelänrinte. Seagulls, who took the lead for the final quarter, held the Salo team in their grips and grabbed their 101-94 victory for the third consecutive Cup.

“I think it was a good match when both teams have had some break, though. It’s nice to twist against the busy, important matches are always played. Third Cup victory in the tube, ”Captain Seagulls Shawn Huff tasted a basket sock around his neck.

Seagulls’ one-month break ended on Friday in the Cup semi-final victory from Lahti, but Vilpas made it to the finals without playing due to Karhu Basket’s corona troubles. Vilpas played his previous match on December 18 before the Korisliiga corona break.

It was a mystery which team benefited more from the starting line-up.

“Often such situations are evaluated based on the results. If we had lost, we would probably have been tired, but now that we won, it was thanks to the feel of the game. Still life is what it is. Let’s play to the fullest and then see where that’s enough, ”Huff sculpted.

“It’s probably going to be 50-50. They got a feel for the game, but maybe we had fresher legs, ”Vilppaa’s head coach Sami Toiviainen estimates.

About Seagulls as many as ten players scored in the match. The point-to-top point was carried this time in December by the centric reinforcement associated with the team Joe Lawson (22 points) with experience in the German main series.

Seagulls and Vilpas will meet again right next Wednesday when the Korisliiga returns with full roar from their corona break. In the spring, the meritorious Seagulls will try to shine their medals into Finnish Championship gold, while Vilpas will defend his championship.

“The process continues throughout the season. I think we’ve improved certain things during the break, and hopefully in the spring we’ll be able to lift the Panther, ”said Huff, who scored 14 points.
