I would say Asano is very early in his development but he is getting better every week. But I do like seeing the flag next to his name so it will make me train him even harder.

Yes, It's probably a little early for both of them. But last season I held on to 3 spots and never ended up using them. I'd rather use the spots rather than waste them and I can try to find some opportunties to get them a little experience.

And I guess a little extra motivation helps.

In case you missed it (I assume you did since it was at 7AM), we played a great game against Argentina and just came up short at the end. In fact, the game was tied with just 54 seconds to go before Argentina took the lead and we started fouling like crazy. Once again this shows that if we have good game shape we usually compete pretty well, especially if our opponent tries going outside.

I should point out some great stats. 44 Points for Furusawa, 35 points for Sonoda, and 8 assists for Tagawa.

Next up we play Scottland and should have good success against them.

Great game! I know in such a short season each loss hurts but we should have had no chance and instead being so close is amazing. Excellent coaching again by both out NT coaches. Obviously I was happy to see Sonoda 35 points on 14/20 shooting was like Wade to Furusawa's LeBron and it did take Furusawa 12 more shots to get his extra 9 points. Besides them and Tagawa we didn't get that much from anyone.

Hong Kong vs. Nippon 110 - 86 (20152)


It was a loss but a well fought game and I thought the game ratings were interesting.

Offensive Flow both proficient.
Rebounding both proficient.
Inside Defense both prominent.
Inside Scoring was sensational (high) to tremendous (low) so also a trivial difference.
Even outside scoring wasn't that big a gap espectable to strong.
But it was Perimeter Defense where we are really bad with our prominent far behind their sensational meaning their outside players could have numbers like 9/15, 4/7 and 3/6 while we get 3/8 or 3/14.

As usual Furusawa was our star but again Kouzuki supported well. However rebounding was a problem with our SF Oishi geting 0 in 35 minutes.

Very disappointing. At the least please have a saved standard lineup. This hurts all the managers as well as the team.

I'm not sure what happened. I have a saved standard lin-up. I set a line-up for this game and even double checked it after I submitted.

Oh that sucks so sorry. Did you do it on your phone? I read on the forum somewhere about someone's orders looking correct on their phone but being all messed up.

Ouch.
That is pretty much untenable from the perspective of a user nation.

I'd write to a BB/GM. Whilst I don't think we were ever going to beat Switzerland, having a forfeit does not do us any favors.
