ball hard move prepared shocked spread steals sudden trap whenever zone
Their 1-3-1 zone all of a sudden shocked us. We prepared for it, but not as much as whenever they made baskets they would always be in it. They were so spread out. They didn't go for steals or trap us in the corner, it was just hard to move the ball around.

I guess we're used to winning, this club. Hopefully, we can continue our success, and reach No. 1 instead of No. 20. The sky's the limit.
