A win is a win!

India U21 66 - 78 Hanguk U21

We had every advantage going into this game, such as gdp and actual home court advantage, so that definitely takes a lot out of India's game, but definitely not to take anything away from us. A win is a win, and we won. So with this victory, it shows that with all your hard work, we are actually capable of winning with our current roster.

Keep up the training! Try your best to deliver good game shape for next week!
We'll be playing UAE next week, and this game counts. UAE lost to Vietnam this week, and I believe they will be coming at us strong. So let's give them a run for their money!

Good work Coach!

Great work in training this week everybody.
This is the week where it counts! U.A.E. u21 at 8pm local time for you guys on Monday.
I'll make sure to tune in and I'll be in the chatroom if you guys have to be around watching the game as well.
let's hope for the best, you guys have worked hard towards this and I thank all you guys for it!

Final Score
Hanguk U21 125 - 81 U.A.E. U21

A very much back and forth game to start. We played with more effort, but I guessed wrong on the GDP, so the game was pretty much up in the air. We jumped to an early lead in the first quarter, at one point even a 23-12 lead. Starting strong as we've always had, but that lead didn't last as we ended up trailing 23-29 at the end of the first quarter. The second quarter we remained consistent, hitting our shots with in even distribution of ball movement. Who would've ever thought passing is in our strong suit, but you guys made it work. We head into the half with a 50-47 lead, outscoring U.A.E. 27-18 in the quarter. Coming off the half-time break, refreshed, almost every shot was going in! We rained 3s, we played defense, we got a little slap-happy with the fouls. We did it all this quarter and pretty much sealed the game with a 36-19 quarter. Fourth quarter finally our backups get to play some real minutes and they played equally relentless. Scoring and demonstrating that they are just as capable as the starters. Closing off the game with a 39-15 quarter.

3 stars:
* Kyung-Tae Jung (Busan Thunder) - "Mr. Pocket Rocket" definitely played a big part of this win, game high 41 points, hitting 3s that sunk a dagger into any momentum they might have built.
** Jin-Hyung Ahn (*New York Knicks*) - "Mr. Trigger-Happy" shakes off the jitters from his U21 debut and actually hits his shots! Nevermind the fact that he still is trigger-happy, firing a bulk load of shots, but this game he was getting them in. And making those scores count instead of them being misses was a big make or break for this game.
*** Sang-Woo Kim (BBC White Devils Cottbus) - "Mr. Big" contributes as he always does. Delivers when it counts. And defense is a big understatement, having been assigned to guard their talented big men. It might not show on the stats sheet, but he definitely contributes a lot.
Honorable mention goes to Yong-Ha Ryu (Daegu Heatwave) for being able to hold it down on defense against a stronger opponent. And also to the rest of the team for contributing off the bench.

We win!!!
let's get it together and finish the season strong!
Good work everybody! =)

경정태!! 경정태!!! 경정태!!!

With that, the lineup has been set for our final week of U21 group stage. Unfortunately, it's already determined that we won't be moving on to the next round. For that I would like to apologize to our community for my failure to bring us to the next stage. But to that, I would also like to add that this is a building process, and from the progress we have made this season, and hopefully if we continue our training and building up of our players (and hopefully manager base as well =P), that we will be able to compete seriously in the coming seasons.

I'd like to thank you all, sll the local managers of Korea, and also all the foreign managers who have bought Korean players, for sticking to it, and giving us this chance. Let's finish strong! Our game against Vietnam U21 on Monday!

This is the Rebirth!!!

You certainly have nothing to apologize for. After 9 seasons, that was the most interesting following the national teams has ever been Thanks for your hard work, updates, and advice.

Thank you. That's really nice to hear and that is all I really wanted. To drum up enough attention for you guys to be interested again, and I hope to be continuing to do so. =)

Anyways, for an important matter.
If any team here happens to have space in their training plans. This player would soon be available. I've added him to the U21 roster to save him from retirement

Final Score
Vietnam U21 79 - 91 Hanguk U21

In the final game of the group stages for the non-qualifiers, our boys put on the pressure and put on a show for the fans! It was a slow start, and Vietnam came at us strong, but as usual, Kyung-Tae Jung (34707136) leads the charge for us early to keep our guys composed and in the game. It was soon all she wrote, as our big man, Sang-Woo Kim (33014743), in his farewell game for the U21 squad, settles in and delivers on both ends of the court, racking up rebounds and just having his way on the inside, just like how Shaq used to do. Without an answer, our opponents threw everything but the kitchen sink at our big C, and still couldn't hold him down. It opened up the court for the rest of the team to pick up some open shots, but being the classy bunch that we have, it was the Sang-Woo Kim graduation game, and the boys just found a way to get the ball to him and stood and watched in awe of his excellence and his years of contribution to the program. He will indeed be missed come next season, and we hope he continues his training progress, and although limited in potential, maybe one day be able to help contribute in some way contribute on the National Team. Our team came out with the victory, but that's just all in bonus to the graduation class of Season 30 Hanguk U21:

Sang-Woo Kim (33014743) - 6GP 200mins 45-91 72 rebounds 2 assists 3 steals 1 block 103 points
"Mr. Big", "Mr. Ball-Hog", "Mr. Everything" - Truly an adamant professional, he has done everything for that this team has asked him to. He's been through the trenches, toughed out the rough patch of losses, picked up rebounds, cleaned up the garbage, refrain from shooting the ball when it's not the gameplan for him to do so. He might not like passing the ball, but he has been a great team player and the team's greatest player.

Jin-Hyung Ahn (33894294) - 2GP 75mins 14-41 4 rebounds 7 assists 3 steals 34 points
"Mr. Trigger-Happy" - not shy to shoot the ball. we hope that you keep on shooting because that shooting% won't get any better otherwise.

Chung-Hee Shin (33014749) - 2GP 61mins 6-16 5 rebounds 6 assists 2 steals 14 points
"Mr. Lucky Charms" - late addition to the team, added to secure the back end of the court defensively, and joined the team just in time, as he was part of both of the team's victories this season.

Season-end awards to come. Stay tuned!
Thank you everybody for a fun season. Keep training those players! The torch is handed down to the next generation of U21 kids. On to off-season scrimmages and training camps, and hoping for a strong showing next season! =)
