16. Tsunami 0 pops / 0 drops17. Sonoda Stamina drop18. Kouzuki 1 drop

Lol our three are the worst.

In fact it is my wish that Kouzuki will never play in NT anymore. He is too weak. It would be big desperacy if I used him (bad form and/or injuries of better bigs). I hope among players out of NT squad I'll find few better bigs and after match with Australia Kouzuki will be forever out of NT squad.
It's nothing personal or something like that. He is too weak and we need better players. After few weeks my 20yo player (curently still 19yo) will be better than Kouzuki - it describes level of Kouzuki. Many 21yo players could easy destroy Kouzuki.
I expect salary of Kouzuki will be under 70k in next season. I think currently his virtual salary is between 69-71k, and he still can drop few times before salary update.
It's reality.

I probably agree & if I was running the team I would be looking for better players too. Even on my team he is not good enough to start now & I hope his salary drops even more so he is a great backup for me. He has made his great contributions to the team & it may be time to move on. I will understand if he is cut next season.

Malice & YC stop reading now.

But this week again he is in proficient GS, the 4th best big on the team by DMI so maybe he can get his last run & then I can be silent on this issue forever.

I believe in community and family. nation, race...same thing to me, a class you are born into, not one you choose. Someone can completely be against the idea of nation and
yet they are classed into a nationality. That is the same EXACT thing as racism. predeterimined descriminate inaccurate. nation does not define culture. It tries to, but it can't. Culture stems from family and community, not government. Government tries to control both, but in the end, is a product, not a producer of culture.
We got Chinese, Australian, American whatever here in japan. We have created a culture
of cooperation and mutual encouragment. This is what makes us a community. Its not
about being Japanese. Its about being a team

A standing salute for your thoughts friend, thats the same I define about a prosperous community.
But the truth is that sometimes patience is the only way left, you had to wait for a season even if you dislike him, otherwise if you keep on pointing him again and again every week, you'll be harmed more, many of your followers will turn against you and thats not good for the community. Instead of getting affected by the rankings system(that I didn't understood much how he compare them, but everyone has its own style) Just train your player in a way that he can be turned into a future star, without listening anyone else, as you are experienced enough that you know which skills can be usefull for NT. Thats how you can prove everything wrong and is the best Possible solution to the problem. Sorry, this was just my opinion and was not any personal attack to any one.

I can finally answer your post.

What's the mistruth? As i remember we met before in macronation finances discussion, where was showed calculations made by me and BBKing, which were quite accurate (let's say +/- 10%), but the answer remain unchanged. However, it was discussion on completely different topic and forum, so it's not necessary to mention about that.

At the moment, LI/MtM + blank lineup is the most efficient tactic for national teams and top club teams, so why changed it, especially if you don't have players to play different way? How many players with JR over 15 do you have (Japan NT)? Problem of playing Motion/R'n'g/Patient is now gone. Princeton uses outside shooters too - it's gone! We can stick only to LI/LP/II/BO/PB, while 3 last tactic are not being ofted played. Probably distribution of skills stops that. What's more important Japan is 2-1 in Asian Champ., so possible worst result is 2-3 and best 4-1. It could be also 3-2, but very important is next match agains Macau. At worst it is still best result for Japan since s.11.

BBKing risked a lot last match. He probably wanted to Q to semis, but He must win over Taiwan or Australia. Taiwan seems worse team, that's why he decided to CT them. I think it is reasonable explanation.

You still can't live with that BBKing is nt manager. Maybe it was a goofball, but it still is a 1 vote. Someone trusted him. As Taiyo went bot, BBK has taken the lead. That's the rules.

n the one hand you and BBking present him as some miracle maker...now you say he is not a miracle maker???

Where did I write he's miracle maker? 1-2 wins more over 10 seasons is not a miracle;) I defend him, because he made really good results, but it still is not enough for you. It's funny, because you should blame past managers for less wins :) As I wrote before, probably it's because BBKing is not a Japanese.

We got Chinese, Australian, American whatever here in japan. We have created a culture of cooperation and mutual encouragment. This is what makes us a community. Its not about being Japanese. Its about being a team.

Maybe let BBKing to be in th same team with you? Check your "welcome post":

What happened to Taiyo!?!?!?!?!

This is just wrong.

We can't have this guy (BBKing) be coach.

In that message there is no love and courtesy.

Hah, me and BBKing have nothing in common. Moreover, I don't relly like him much. I just read quite often global forum. When I see someone is wrong I just correct such a person. I started reading Japan forum, when someone posted on polish forum that BBKing became NT manager. For few weeks I can see only insults and blames, so I decided to write. I hope it's not forbidden ;)

Dude, if you have no Japan NT player and are not opposing NT coach. Coming in to comment here amounts to trolling. Seriously a waste of time.

Well, I'm not defending BBKing, but his results. That's the difference. Although, you don't like how he manages team, you should admit he makes good results. That's all.
