Slovenia Vs. Cuba

I've promised you an article on this topic and here we go. It was nice sunny day, birds singing, flowers blooming and cars driving. So on this lovely day me and my friend (his name I shall not reveal do to some unresolved issues) decided it's the perfect day, to brush up on our basketball skills. We've meet on a court not far, but not near Ljubljana's center (Lj. center=Zalog). We've started off with some random shooting and then it came to a point when we played 1:1. The score does is not important, but if you need to know i've won 3 games to 1;). When we were about to leave this perfect ambient of Šiška's court, two new player's joined us. But they we're not ordinary players, which you meet on the court every day, they we Cubans;) So after few exchanges of words the epic battle began. Cuba vs. Slovenia , 2 on 2, Siska court, no. of spectators: 5 (+1 if you count a baby who was sleeping in the trolley). The game started good for Slovenia, since their representatives made few easy baskets. Thou it could been seen that Cuba was not just going to give up that easy. At the score 4:0 for Slovenia, Cuba return it's in full glory, scoring 5 points. But Slovenia as always answered back with 2 nice 2-pointers made by self-proclaimed "sniper-shooter" Kure. All the spectators (who were like 3th player for Slovenia) including the baby (his support was overwhelming, since his unrepresented scream could be heard for miles and miles) where behind the Slovenian team all the time, but that didn't stop Cuba from changing the score to 10:8. Slovenian fought back ("self-proclaimed sniper" leading it's was) but it was all for wain. At the end the score had stopped and 21:18 for Cuba and Slovenian player's had to admit their defeat once again. Spectators were a little disappointed, but they've realized that the exhaustion and lack of tactical ideas couldn't match the sheer brilliance of Cuba's connection. The match ended with a friendly hand shake, with few Slovenian words exchanged and with a promise for a potential re-match. Slovenian player's lost, but who better to be been from then Baseball world champions - Cuba.;)

yeah the cubans were passing the ball in the good old communist spirit, whereas the self-proclaimed blogger kept it to himself... :)
