Message: [QUOTE="BlueSkyGLW, post: 4274293, member: 11281"] A bit of diversion before the game starts tomorrow. [B]Great piece on Gabby and Sopron[/B] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.fiba.basketball/euroleaguewomen/21-22/news/williams-and-sopron-relying-on-special-recipe-to-fuel-final-four-dreams[/URL] Gabby's direction as a player; that's mostly likely what Seattle Storm will ask her to be and the idea behind the trade. [I]"I now know the kind of player that I should be and the kind of player that I want to be," confessed Williams. "In Sopron I have been able to focus on being a true wing player. At previous teams I would play the 4, then the 3, then point guard, then the two. I am learning from the best players in the world. I am trying to soak in all that knowledge. "This league forces me to evolve my game because the competition is so high. I think that it is something that I didn't truly realize before I stepped into it. I did not know how much it was going to push me mentally and physically. "I watched it while in college and I knew I wanted to play in it - but I never knew how much it would force me to grow. Of course, I never thought it would be easy, but I never dreamed my game could improve like this. That speaks to the kind of level EuroLeague Women is," she concluded.[/I] Sopron and Williams will go up against Perfumerias Avenida in the Semi-Finals in Istanbul on Friday, April 8. Yep, that's against Katie Lou's and Karlie's team. [I]"There is a feeling of deja vu having Avenida again," said Williams. "I am someone who likes revenge. I like redemption. It makes me even more excited. The feeling that everyone has is that without [B]Ekat[/B], it feels like the title is anyone's now. [Ekat is Stewie's team, yeah that powerhouse][/I] [/QUOTE]
