A bit surprised too.

Either way, all the best Wolph - good luck with the team.

Ouch! A heads-up mighta been nice. I know we talked about whether you'd dump him or not - but if you could have waited a few days it might have made it easier for me to sell Kuwabara!
Oh well... moving on.

And Wolph - this is a useful site (for the NT scouting tool, if nothing else): (http://www.buzzerbeaterstats.com/)

Nice win tonight. Tried to catch everyone in chat but got got there right at the buzzer. Now for the big test game. Gotta win against Khazakhstan to advance.

If noone noticed, the team is on a 9 game winning streak and 12 of the last 14. I find it sad that Japan can have a competitive U21 program while the National team has lost 12 of 13. Hopefully the youth movement will start spilling over to NT soon.

NT Ranked #82
U21 Ranked #51

I think you have been doing a great job recently and really giving our team its best chance but this last match I do not understand at all. #50 Nippon U21 vs #11 Taiwan U21 was always going to be a 1 sided match. 2 x 70k guys, 1 x 55k guard, 2 more 40k etc while our best is under 40k and our 2nd best 27k. We were never going to win so it seems obvious that the only things we could gain form the match were:

1) gain enthusiasm
2) keep the margin low with a slow paced game

Instead I see that not only did we play a fast paced offence so the margin was racked up to over 30

Nippon U21 vs. Taiwan U21 59 - 92 (17393)


but we wasted enthusiasm in this pointless slaughter for nothing.

Nippon U21 put more into this game than Taiwan U21.


This makes no sense at all. We have 2 more tough games ahead against the Phillipines and Singapore but perhaps the final game against Singapore could have been a surprise upset and gotten us into the next round with a maximum enthusiasm CT. Now we probably have to rely on Lubnan somehow beating Khazakstan in the last round.

Reasons?
