It was a bit of a tactical dilemma for me in that match. First our guards were not in their best game shape to run a dangerous RnG, while we didn't have sufficient backup for running a 3 C LI. Since I would be utilizing the mismatch caused by Zhu and Zhao in the post, I felt it would be worthwhile to run RnG. Sadly our 2 post players hardly had any chances that night. Might be due to Japan U21's good outside defense (which might have been a factor why our bigs didn't receive the ball often) and insufficient passing in our PG. Another reason was also because I'd hate beating a Wolph team with LI because he'll go around screaming that it's LI. Well let's say my pride got the better of me. But I did not do it blindly, as you can see I had a reason for running RnG.


I didn't expect anything different. Gameshape, opponent, and other conditions that only the coach knows are the decision factors. It is just an academical discussion about "what if" scenarios, but no blaming nor criticism. To me Japan CT made the difference, especially because of combination with outside defence, but you shouldn't counter-CT as you had to keep chances for the game after. Bad luck at the end. I lost my silver medal last season as all team but one (trained by opponent's coach!!!) was 8- in the critical match with Switzerland. Lost at OT((

a great friendly match tomorrow

my roster, with TS close to 0:

the two best 20y players
five 21y that were excluded from U21 this season in specific circumstances, to award their managers
five very young players as result of a recent contest

but coach will choose on his own! :O

TS1 and far from the "best team" ever (some people will never join U21, but was a contest prize).

Anyway an enjoyable match, at this point of the season you cannot ask more
