    Canterbury Rams centre Lachlan Olbrich feels he's lived up to the pressure of helping his side claim back-to-back NBL basketball titles

    Canterbury Rams centre Lachlan Olbrich feels he's lived up to the pressure of helping his side claim back-to-back NBL basketball titles


    The 20-year-old moved to Christchurch this season, with the Rams coming off a championship in the season prior.

    Canterbury would go on to claim this year's crown, with a 102-87 win over the Auckland Tuatara in the grand final.

    Olbrich - the league MVP - says the high expectations upon his arrival pushed him to be at his best.
