Wow...Taiyo...Great win. Keep it up..

#73 Nippon 106 defeats #18 Pilipinas 103.

An amazing upset, well done!

Very good... looks like their lack of RB broke their neck... thumbs up!

Well done Taiyo, well done.
One of the best wins for the NT since I've been here.

People who know me know that i rarely speak acrimoniously on the forums...but 9 votes for Taiyo and 1 vote disapproves of this manager?

Who is this idiot?

We beat the Phillipines and our coach doesnt have universal support?

It makes the Japanese community look like a bunch of unrealistic jerks.

We won the game, it shouldnt matter how much your guy played or not. I have 3 guys on the NT team and all three of them together played a total of 10 mins in the win.

So what? we won. Good grief.

Agreed. That is incredibly shoddy to give the guy a "disapprove" vote. Now come on wolph, change it to "approve"!

Nippon NT Explodes to Amazing First Win

No one believed it was possible. Not the coach, not the players, not the fans, not even foxy half naked cheerleaders. In the first game of the Season 19 Asia Tournament the downtrodden Nippon National Team, under new management and still getting to know each other, travelled to Manila, Philippines to play the host nation and #18 ranked Pilippinas National Team. Expecting to get destroyed by this perennial power house the team approached the match up more as a scrimmage and came in loose ready to give a low effort, learn a few things about each other and make the most of the coming loss. Well, it’s seems that the relaxed approach and the ease the players came into the game with, along with a masterful game plan from their new leader was more that their opponent was ready for. After 4 quarters of close action and amazing play from the Japanese Nationals, Nippon took the lead in the final minutes and pulled off one of the greatest upsets in Nippon NT history.

The effort was led by their Star center and long-time fan favorite, Yusuke Furusawa who was both top scorer (32) and top rebounder (16). Top assist man for the game was Takatoshi Tagawa and the best bench play came from Rikkio Egguchi

This win certainly will raise the fans expectations of the team and will also help them achieve their goal of advancing to the second round of the tournament. A win like this sure will add the pressure if it can’t be repeated.
