Thanks Robert for talking to germanhoops.com You recently exploded for 48 points for Dynamic VP in a 106-97 win over Cacak 94. Was the win double special with your 48 points?
Hi yes it was a double special seeing all the guys happy for me while we celebrated. The win was a great feeling.
You scored 30 + points in the NCAA 2 and NCAA, but never 48 points. Was that the most in your career that you scored?
Actually I scored 50 plus somewhere else it wasn’t in the NCAA though. I´m just a natural scorer.
Talk a little about the game. How quickly did you know that you could have a really good scoring game?
I always know I will have a good scoring game because that is just something that I do. I will get my shots regardless.
You improved your scoring each game in the last 3. Did the 48 points surprise you a little or did you always know that you could do that?
Not really because I put up that kind of numbers before so it was bound to happen someday
Did you know in crunch-time that you were close to 50 points?
No I was just doing anything to get the win. When I got my last and 1 and looked up it said 48. I said O wow
Does 48 points give you extra confidence that you might go for 50-60 points this season?
That definitely gave me more confidence but I wont force it. I will let it come to me if it happens then it will happen like last game.
There were 20 team assists as your team was finding you well. Despite that did you still score a lot on the isolation?
Yes my coach and I realize that they bigs could not guard so we basically used that into our advantage with getting the switch on them with me and I worked on my iso game so much for situations like this.
Did you get any special wishes from the states besides just family and friends?
Not really mainly friends and family that wished me congrats and people from here as well.
What was your favorite own basket of the game?
My spin ankle breaker in to the right hand finish And1 that was my favorite basket.
Will you take out your team or supply donuts after scoring 48 points or will they?
I would supply donuts if they all want some because without them putting trust in me this not possible.
Thanks Robert for the chat.
