I couldn't help but agree with this. You see, when your boy is now in U21 NT, it is the best time to buy a Sports Psychologist!

Hey,

Finally I managed to buy a new PC, sorry for being so late in communication but I've been without a computer since september
What can we say, as you can easily see, our team is weaker tha many of our second round opponents. This first stage is only needed to make some slight adjustment and to test something against low level opponents and we can say we did it.
Without taking even in consideration the point difference, we decided to use these matches to test lineups, switching players a bit also between different positions (Fornoles played PG SG SF and PF) and we had to deal with two bad injuries. Gavadan, our leader in the frontcourt, stayed out of action for two weeks, Rebueno for one week.
We're still undefeated after manhandling all of our opponents, now Japan and Malaysia will offer more of a challenge, waiting for the second round in which Australia and Hong Kong seem on target to be again our major obstacles.
About training, I would recommend as I did last season to focus more on primaries. It's true that multiskilled players are better suitable for many roles and tactics but to win in U21 championships you have to have primaries. Just look at Australia, their centers full of primaries have outstanding DMIs and Salaries, same goes for China. If we want to compete with this kind of level we need to have world caliber players like Rios last season.
For instance, Rios has been immediatly picked up by Coach Joerge for the NT.

Unfortunately I'm seeing many one on one SF PF training without reason, only for the sake of the TSP, which means nothing and it's highly considerable in favour of this topic to say that we have many 20yo players more ready than the other 21yos. About big men especially, we have a 19yo player who can have chances in this season. I said 19yo and I said this season.
And that should not happen, but due to botification of someone and lack of talents in this generation this can definetly happen soon.
Luckily our next seasons look very promising, 20yo have a solid base and current 19yo are growing fast to compete for the gold. So I'm absolutely positive for the future but you know, I'm a competitive guy and since we have the home court I would like to achieve something big. You too I assume!

Absolutely agree! Actually, we are in the process of having active managers together. Furthermore, we are able to get legends back here in BB like PH_cezz. 😂 I am not sure if you are already in that GC.

Being a country with 250+ active teams is not honestly a small community. Why can't there be unity in making good prospects? To date, we have a handful of managers who trains youngsters like SkyWalkersZero and tmen, but we need more to provide a lot of good breeds and be at the same level as other world powerhouses. Imagine, if all of those 250+ teams will produce good youngsters, then that will give us at least 500 U21 hopefuls to choose from. That's be insane!

First round completed with a very dominant win against a tough opponent like Malaysia in a slow paced match in which defenses had the best over the offenders.
It’s really remarkable that we allowed only 27 pts to our opponent, while our second unit leader Lim managed to produce a good scoring outcome with teen minutes.
Dionson helped a lot the flow and generally speaking our leeader Gavadan kept the focus while shooting at high percentage.

Many surprises from the other groups, with australia using enth to beat taiwan and hong kong crunching in china. Bad choice for them since this loss nearly killed their chances in the second stage while China displayed an outstanding performance that candidates them as the heavy favorite for the gold as well as australia.

Next group should pair us with japan australia indonesia hong kong and hanguk. Keep it up with shape and training, we are doing a good job!

Trying to avoid certain brackets in exchange for enthu? Hhmmm... tough call though.
