(60074)About our first round:
With the first game which we lost against Taiwan (much stronger team), we needed to stay perfect to end in a decent position for HCA in the 2nd round. Before the game of Serbia (in theory a logical loss) we weren't sure to have HCA in round 2 and with the good GS, I decided to go for a CT. This was a gamble because I knew we would have lost enthousiasm but I was hoping for 1 HCA game so we were able to survive until the last 16. Despite the normal of Serbia, we won quite easily but I'm not sure we could have won with a Normal.
Result: 7/7 after the loss against Taiwan and as 10th in the ranking we had HCA in the 1/16th final.
1/16th final Ceska U21 -
Belgium U21 90-91
(60267)Like Joe for our NT, I also had doubt to select a Normal or play CT since I wanted to go as far as possible. But to consider our enthousiasm for the next game and since we had the HCA, a normal it was. But what a nail-biting game it was :+(
With 17 seconds left we were behind 90-89, but P Horemans managed to get a steal and M. Donche could finish his shot from the top of the key => 90-91.
The 13 last seconds were horrible, Ceska had 2 attempts but our defense made the difference. After a shot from their guard, their C came up with an offensive rebound. 1 second left and our C T. Tutenel put him under pressure with a result that he missed a contested shot. Bref, a Normal was enough.
Nice win, but mixed feelings. In the next round we'll face a motivated Serbia. Are we capable of winning there again? I think it's impossible, we have lower enthousiasm and no HCA. But we'll see next Monday, I'm already happy with our consolation this far. I already want to say thank you to all the owners who are doing an excellent job with GS management :)
