Recap of the 3 first games (ever).

1st game vs a big big team : loss was sure, but only lost by 13
2nd game was very tied against a similar team (similar salary total) and we won by 2 :)
3rd game agaisnt a very new HG team, and the win was absolutely sure but I wanted to make the biggest gap (for end of season rankings) -> 75 pts win

Next game vs a similar team, more oriented Inside.

My team is actually coming from Inside to Outside because of the formation of my 2 young players (lvl 9 & 10 !!). For the moment, they are not dominant, and are oriented Outside playing. This season, they'll be strengthened in outside caracs (OD essentially) but they will train Inside caracs next season.
I think that, in season 70, they'll be nearly dominant SF / PF and I hope that we would be able to climd to Div2 at that moment, then we'll be able to STAY in div II.

One more win, this time after OverTime :)
118-113 with 4 players at 20+ points, 11 assist for my future big guy, a victory based on Free Throw (24/30), all the other stats are equivalent to my opponents.

New win vs Madrid Chotis, a team with a smaller salary total than us (but not that much, especially because they're playing with à 8 players rotation).

Win came because of Better Rebounding, better passing (my team has good pass abilities, even for the youngest), but the defense strategy from my opponent (3-2) tended to create too much turnovers / steals. But our defense was the best of the day, their center struggled (8/24) despite being the their best scorer. He's a pointguard, and maybe Madrid could have tried the Patient offense (?).

So, we are 4-1, amongst the 4 best records, that's enough for my pleasure :)

New victory, but a hard one !
Round 6 : Elan Demars 113 - 90 Holy City Hoopers

The 23 pts don't show the real pain we had to achieve this one.
But, weirdly, everything is good in our side :
- FG, steals, blocks, assists.
- the rebound (-22) is mainly due to the last quarter with a huge amount of Offensive Rebounds for the Holy Grabbers, because of their bad FG at this moment of the game (no point for 5-6 minutes).

So, the only reason should be the PF, and, for the first time for a long tume, the bad FT %. (15/24, which is really below our usual ratings (90% at least).

Next time, we'll face a very tough game, vs a team with the same record, with the same nationality, and a similar salary total.

I was afraid of this game and I sure did not make a mistake.
Les Gueux du Marais have completely outplayed us strategically : they knew where to attack, where to defend !
-4 at the end, bacause of a huge rebound gap, more PF for my team. Congrats !

This one gives me a good lesson. I hope I'll be able to learn something good for the future !

122-56, easy win vs a young team, with noone above 10k/week.

Nothing to learn, we did what we had to do, but I forgot to give a try for my new 19 y-o HoF. I'll do that later.

Thanks I'm glad I was able to take this one ! It will be an important win for the final standings and I feel like it was against my league rival since we were in the same BB league last season
Good luck for the rest of the season and maybe we'll meet in play-in / play-offs

Hard work this week, so hadn't got time to write.

First & sadest of the season : 106-107 at Haywood Bid Dogs, with their twin towers.
I chose a very risky strategy, but without this risk I would have lost for sure.

So Press Everywhere (I don't know the name in english) + Patient + Concentrate on Inside .
I think the coach made a very better work than last week against Les Gueux du Marais, but the loss is painfully felt...
But, there is some hope for the future.

2nd game vs Lielupes Melnās Sirdis :
Easy win, but the gap between the two teams was too big for him. 37 FT for me (30 succeeded) !

Next game vs Santa Eufemia Ducks. I have no hope at all, but I will try to manage the Point average...
