tonight, in the U21 vs NT game, we'll be testing 2 things
1) the SF's. Both Beckers and Sammy will be playing the entire match.
The U21 has kept most of it's Front court presence, but the NT has taken a few guards from the U21 to test their strengh ( we've seen a LP/LI for the better part of the season, so it's time to test the guards a bitt better)
Theirfor, Langendries, Cepeda and Van Der Haegen, 3 of U21's 4 best shooters, will be joining the NT for the test game.
Futhermore, the NT will be calling upon a few NT players aswell. These will be PF Mees ( to test how Oyaert holds up against a true PF) and Loddo ( who will play Back-up PF). Because we don't want to use to many NT players, the NT will also futur U21 players Bergmans and Ballion who will be playing at the C spot.
So NT's line up will be:
PG: Van der Haeghen - Verlest - Verlest
SG: Langendries - Cepeda - Cepeda
SF: Backaert - Backaert - Backaert
PF: Mees - Loddo - Loddo
C: Ballion - Bergmans - Bergmans
tactics will be:
Base offense - MTM - Coach strictly follows depthchart ( dont want to see Verlest play to much, as he might be to strong for the U21 guard to handle, which would destroy the intension of this test game) and if faultrouble ==> let them play. This is to be able to test our SF match up of the day ( Sammy vs Beckers).
U21 will play with
PG: Dirnberger - Falque - Fradet
SG: De Keersmaecker - Liegeois - Fradet
SF : Beckers - Beckers - Beckers
PF :oyaert - gallagher - Duchateau
C: waterloot - gallagher - Duchateau
Tactics will be: Low Post - MTM - coach strictly follows depthcart, let them play if they get into faul trouble.
new U21 players here would be Falque, Fradet, Liegeois and Duchateau.
in the end result, we'll have to forsee that Backaert had a better GS than Beckers, and that the PF spot will have been one of a NT lvl, so NT should be slightely favored for the game. We both hope that no players will faul out during this game, so that the testmatch will be able to provide the U21/NT with the most accurate data possible.
