That was our first game of the season, a 56-111 loss to the power house, Austrailia. It was going to be a blowout from beginning to end. I knew that. But it is what it is, and we can only go up from here. Terrible that Shin picked up an injury that early into the game. I guess that's the problem with having a short roster, and also my lineup setup in terms of reserves. I didn't prepare myself for that and I will take that as a lesson for future games.
The positives from the game. Despite having to play extended minutes and close to playing all game, our players didn't foul out. We did decent on the free throw line. Baby steps... start out small and hopefully we improve into bigger things. Man... passing is beyond repair. Haha. I'll have to look into a "streetball" / everybody for themselves / no teamwork type of offense.
We will get better. Don't worry too much about it guys. Have a good night. =)

Another week of training and I'm loving the pops that I see. Means you guys are really dedicated to training and making our young players better for the long term. And look at that game shape! We've got 2 proficients and 3 strong out of our 9 players. Don't worry too much about that right now as I know game shape is tricky even when you do give your players ideal minutes. Gameshape will come around. I believe in you guys.

Now this week we're playing against China. Wow... their top guy out-salaries our entire roster. But I'll try my best to get points wherever I can find them. Their game shape looks good, but ours isn't that shabby. But it just goes to show you. On any given week, our opponent's game shape could completely crap out and as long as you guys keep it up and maintain good minutes, we could make something happen. So keep up the good work! =)

Game time 8pm on Monday for you guys. Don't expect much, but I'll be there watching for any pleasant surprises.

Final Score
China 104 - 48 Hanguk

My goal has always been to break 50 points or not lose by double against these tough teams, and we were almost there. Kyung-Tae Jung was leading the charge in the last minute sinking a 3 and also attempted a 3 at the buzzer and got fouled... unfortunately missing all 3 free throws. It's okay, it's a building process.

With that in mind, the game MVP for Korea goes to... Kyung-Tae Jung! For his leadership on both sides of the ball. Offensively, 2nd in team lead in scoring, and defensively holding down their lead scorer and picking up rebounds. Congrats on a game well played!
Honorable mention goes to Min-Koo Kim for holding down that beast of a player they have on the inside. You didn't completely shut him down, but I expected a lot worse. So a job well done! And also Jae-Hoon Kim for being our leading scorer for the 2nd game in a row!

Good job by the rest of the team as well. I might look into Jae-Ho Park some more as he did decent job coming off the bench. Passing isn't our strong suit, we already knew that, but turnovers are killing us! Rebounding we're doing surprisingly okay, can't say we're doing great, but just okay (might partly be due to the GDP). Where we're hurting the most is offensively. We need some offensive prowess!

Let's get on it team! We'll get there. Keep working hard!

Edit: U.A.E. actually came to play this week. With that we're officially at the bottom of the barrel. =/

Great week of game shape everybody! Thank you for sticking to it. Not saying that it'll guarantee a victory, but it should give me a good sense of how we could be when we're at our best.

I might be making a few call ups this week or next, so anticipate an bbmail or two asking for player stats.

On top of that, something we need to consider. We are on the verge of unfortunately losing 2 more managers in the Korea community unless they manage to login before they go bot. But in the meantime, please take a look at these 2 rosters and any player age 21 and under that any of you might consider buying and training, let me know the player's name and id number either here in the thread or bbmail if you want to keep it private. I'll send you their stats and make sure they don't retire with their team.

Hello everyone.

We're playing Malaysia this week. We'll try our best and see what we can come up with.
Sorry I didn't post a report on last week's game against Taiwan. If you didn't know it yet, we lost as expected. There's not much to say about it, but I just wanted to throw it out there that we played great! (in accordance to my thought of our team) It'll be the benchmark for how we would compete against the remaining teams on the schedule.

Training looks okay this week. Not quite the 5x proficient we had last week, but I know you guys are trying your best in light of trying to win your league games and cup games. So I say. Thank you guys! =)

I'd like to introduce to you our first call-up to the team.
Jin-Hyung Ahn (33894294)
It took him a little while, but I'm glad to finally have him on the team.

And to note. After this week's game against Malaysia, we'll be having an off week (hopefully a scrimmage), and then we'll be playing UAE and Vietnam. So with the extra week, I hope we can prepare our best and bring forth a good showing against them. Thanks!

Final Score
90 - 52

Great start to the ball game. We were really hanging in tight with Malaysia's big boys in the first quarter. But as it is the case in most of our games, our opponents starts to figure us out after the first quarter and our lack of experience shows as we begin to trail. Overall, I liked the effort we put out there, in a surprisingly "close" game. GDP might have aided to that. But we kept it close in each quarter except for the 3rd. I liked the effort though, despite being doubled up in the 3rd quarter, we kept driving the ball to the lane causing them to foul 6 times that quarter. That's the case with losing each quarter though, we trail a little bit each quarter and that deficit just adds up until we simply couldn't catch up no more. Chalk it up as a learning experience, much like Raptor's loss on Saturday against the Rockets. The coach won't go easy on you just because we losing in a blowout game, just gotta work it out and tough through it. We will come out a better team.

Now the highlights:
- Sang-Woo Kim is the beast of this team and he's always in beastmode. I give him first star of the game
- Yong-Ha Ryu. Gotta credit Daegu Heatwave's coach for giving him great gameshape and results shows. 2nd star of the game
- Kyung-Tae Jung. Mr. Pocket Rocket. Great spark to our offense coming off the bench. 3rd star

honorable mentions goes to U21 rookie Jin-Hyung Ahn. Mr. Trigger-happy. Might be his first game jitters, but wow, his arms must be sore from all those missed shots. :P

We have an offweek next week, I will try to get us a scrimmage to keep our guys active and keep those legs moving.

Great week of training everybody!!!
Game shapes looks good all around. Training looks good all around. Hopefully if we keep this up, we'll have somewhat of a competitive team next season.
We got the scrimmage against India U21 this week. It won't mean much, but it'll be a good test of our new skills leading towards our true test which is the final 2 games of the season.

Keep up the good work! And let's finish strong! =)
