WOW!
great win.
how much fun to see Burton and Hardy, and Day and Styles like they today, I remember they as much little, and much less good players.

*I don't think that Inside Isolation is good tactic for this roster, but you win this today, so this is really not important.

It was a good tactic when our 2 best Centers had good game shape vs their bad shape ;)
It is an opinion, but I know what I did eheheh!
Thanks

Good center = look inside or low post.

This is not what inside isolation give for us.
You need good players who know to shoot from outside once you play like this and more.. this is not only good shooting from inside.. look at your 3PT%.
Look inside could give you much better results.

But win is win.

Well, Its not my job to justify my tactic decisions, but I like doing it eheh...

5 from 17 isn't that bad...and should be better since our guards can shoot from range. Its still better than their 3 from 12.

On a Look Inside we would have more action from our guards vs their guards before throwing the ball inside and I didn't want that. One vs One Inside puts their Centers much more in cause forcing them to defend and make fouls. Check their team fouls...

But yeah, I won't discuss this much more apart from this post Still thanks for your help and opinion ;)

Hello hello again!

Last game we had a loss against a strong oponent...we didn't even try to contest the game as we knew it would be impossible for us. We used no enthusiasm and made no big chances on our tactics, maybe we can pick somebody asleep on a thougher game later.

Next games are already out, as expected we got ourselfs hard games on those next weeks....qualifying for the next stage is nearly impossible. We will try to keep our ranking going up as we did last season tho.
Our most important game will be against Shqipëria, wich has a team close to ours I think...

Regards all

And there goes another loss to us...

After some good results last season, this time I am a bit sad that I am failing to get wins. I'm sorry for that, I don't know what I could do diferently to get this win.

We got tough matches all season, and this was for me our best chance to get a win. Used all effort, went inside for our big guys that were in good shape, but failed to beat them at their hometown (they used max effort too).

Now we will wait for the rest of the games, maybe we can surprise somebody

Well, not much so say...season ended, we will keep making friendly matches to reward coaches with merchandise and also to start thinking about next season.
I'm still not sure if I will apply for another 2 seasons, I'll let you know later the season.

Meanwhile Jayse Wilkins has been dismissed from the team at 34 years old. After helping us through this 2 seasons, he is getting older and older and his gameshape is terrible, since he stopped playing at his team.

Ethan Sercombe was added to the team some weeks ago, with 24 years he is already a good SF, and still has time to develop some of his skills with work.

Best regards guys

Hello hello NZ,

I'm here writing my last post, to tell you that I won't be going for 2 more years of coaching your NT. I already know that you will have some other foreign coaches interested in the job, and so thats not a problem.

It was a great honor to coach this great players of NZ, the great "All Blacks" and also thanks to all coaches that worked to help the NT.

Even though I liked the experience, I also felt a bit alone in this mission. I know and understand that your community on this game is really small, but I was expecting some more activity from who's online. We did some ok results, especially on 1st year were we almost had a surprise on group stage, but I saw no effort from you guys and felt bad about that.

Well, thanks again for your vote of trust, I wish you all the best!
