Season 68

We didn't start with many hopes but players kept decent game shape and we managed to be where we belong. We played it all for the last game against Croatia and it worked! GS wasn't good for this game but still, players showed up, gave it all and did the job. We will get to play at least one more game.

The new generation is taking over, Ray Michael, Francis Jalius, Simon Edwin Edin and Han Xinqing are among the core players of this team. We still lack of inside players but Jonathan Victor and Somboon Thanarat will be there for a few more seasons.

Let's make the tournament bracket game count!

Season 69

Due to the lack of other candidates, I got re-elected as Malaysia NT manager. The young generation is starting to take over the guards spots, except Siranjeevi Rajan (33yo) and Peter Joseph (32yo), all other guards are below 29yo. On the contrary, the inside players are getting old Ge Jingwen (35yo) and Chris Londoh (34yo) may be playing their last season with the NT.

In order to be more efficient, starting this season, I decided to get some very valuable help as WalterZ, ex Lebanon NT manager, will be closely working with me. For those who don't know him, he is the most successful Lebanon NT manager by far. He managed to bring a Asia Championship in season 65 with wins over HK (semi-finals) and China (finals). This may arguably be the best performance ever for a NT team in the whole BB history.

In order to work with Walter, I will share Malaysia NT players skills. The collaboration will start after the first game against HK.

After winning against Saudi Arabia, 2 games are left for Malaysia NT in the first group stage of the S69 Asia Championship Tournament. A first game against Lebanon and then the final game against Japan.

So far, WalterZ provided very meaningful help to prepare the games while our opponents weren't the most challenging ones (let alone HK). For instance, I followed all his suggestions against Saudi Arabia and you got our easiest win of the season.

Winning one out of the 2 games should be enough to stay 2nd of the group. It won't be enough as Lebanon needs to win in order to qualify and Japan will have nothing more to play and can give it all for their last game.

Side notes: Ray Michael is back as the top scorer of the team for S69, this kid will make history for the NT. At 33yo, Siranjeevi Rajan is #9 scorer of all time and #2 passer of all time, only 7 assists short from Ahmad Badawi bin Saad. He will be the first player to break the 600 assists mark.
