A new season has arrived. Our youth team enters it with optimism. It's been a long time since there was such a level line- up, there is a talented guards line, and there are also experienced bigmen. On Monday we play scrimmage with the UAE team, after which the tournament rivals will be known.
There were no super-talents in this year's draft, but enough solid junior talent 6-7. I hope that managers have plans to develop players

Very lucky with two opening matches. Ghana's first rival, a country without users, is likely to be a technical victory of 50. Andorra's second opponent, their coach did not field the squad in time, they will play with enthusiasm 1, if still puts the line-up. Let's see what happens next

In previous post, I did something stupid when I wrote that Andorra's enthusiasm would be low. It falls when players are dismissed from the team, not when the squad is recruited.
Facepalm.

28.09.2020 Scotland U21 80 - 73 Andorra U21
The most difficult game for the team. The opponent has a quality guardline, which kept us in suspense the whole game. I saw it and putting in defense 3-2 tried to strengthen the outside defense. But we had 2 bigmen in 9 conditions. I was expecting to guess the internal attack strategy, so I put the direction neutral.
In the end, we played poorly both in attack and defense... All our players attacked badly. Only the advantage in rebounding and a great percentage of free throws helped us to win . Although the match was away, it was an extra challenge.
Worryingly, I'll try to draw conclusions.
Waiting for the next rivals

It's an interesting draw for us. We will not have matches with the favorites of the tournament, it is not bad. But in the matches against the Netherlands, Colombia and Peru we are doomed to defeat. We will fight against Indonesia and Ireland, they have good teams, only a little stronger than us. Only Paraguay looks lighter than the rest of the team. I would like to see our players in 9 conditions for the match against Indonesia in 3 weeks. I will play 60-70 minutes a week for the national team's players. The next match against the Netherlands will be difficult

The team came to the game in good condition. 6 out of 10 participating players were in 9 conditions. The only problem was the condition 7 of our SF F. Fitchy. Instead he decided to put the third bigmen and play internal tactics. Against zone protection 3-2 it should look good, and Fitchy put play off the bench. But for some reason it didn't help us. We deserved a better outcome of the match. We defended well, but the opponent realized 9 out of 20 three-pointers. Random wasn't on our side.
Guest matches are difficult for us. Although if the match would have been on a neutral court, the points difference would have remained within -30. The next match at home against Colombia, they also have a very strong team.

12.10.2020 Colombia U21 79 - 90 Scotland U21
A fairly unexpected victory for us, Colombia has big problems with enthusiasm. But the opponent has a lot of very strong players and more put for the game. Nevertheless, with the help of high enusiasm, good condition of players and home arena we were able to win. Everything turned out very well in the match, the right tactics were chosen, the leaders were able to show their maximum.
As last week, before the match 6 out of 10 players were in 9 conditions - thanks to the coaches. But F. Fitchy from the past has not been able to gain condition above 7. However, I decided to put him in the starting lineup and play external tactics. And not for nothing, despite the bad attack, but greatly helped in other aspects, made the usefulness +21, the highest in the team. Lyle played like a real leader, attacked well and defended, scored 32+9+3. MacMurchie also helped well 22+4+4. Goodwille played a fantastically effective game 15+20, fg 7/10. The rest of the players helped as much as they could.
I'm very happy. We haven't beaten such strong teams yet

It is a pity that it was not possible to at least fight for the victory. Initially, our team has few chances to win with the same enthusiasm on the opponent's court. By DMI team leaders it is noticeable that we are inferior. I decided to take a risk, put Patient. At the same time, Fitchy put in attack on position C, and in defense on SF. I hoped that against the center opponent he would get about 20 shots and will be effective. But the ball rarely reached him. Lyle made almost half of team shots and score well. But no one else helped him with the set of points. According to the ratings Fitchy should score more, but unlucky. Indonesia has a pretty strong defensive team. We can definitely play better. Next match against Paraguay at home

Hm, that's why you swapped the positions of Fitchy and MacKersey. I thought it was a blunder at first.

I hope we'll manage to win the rest of our games and hopefully win a spot in the top50.

+44, it's a very good difference. Although after the first quarter it was only +4.
We played well in attack, we could have played better in defence. There are two matches ahead. Next with Ireland away.
It's going to be very difficult. We really need good condition of the players
