Asia TC Day 1: Hong-Kong
Begin with the better team of the group isn't the better thing but Japan will do the best it can.
I've selected 9 players for this first game, leting 9 spots free for the rest of the campaign.

Rdv 12:00

Oops I made mistake on the games schedule, I think you will have corrected yourself, 12:00 is the time of the match for me, but for you, Japanese, it is 19:00

So schedule is update now!

Asian TC Day 1: Debrief
For the first game, we trusted in Takenaka, Kimiyama, Masuko, Matsuyama, Nagase, Misato, Jiawen, Oyanagi and Ooyama. At the final we weren't so far that I'had thinked, we lost 123-103, but it's not so far! Of course, we have to improve the team to play eye to eye with teams of this level, in particular on the defensive level, but there are some good news.

We can't miss masterful Mitsuyama's game even if we know he will be able to do even better, he finish it with 60 pts at 25/51 and 6/13 at 3 Pts. A tone below, Misuko and Oyanagi made a good game too 17 pts, 5 pass for the first and 12 Pts, 18 Rbds, but 6 loose balls for the second. That 's it for individual performance, for the rest of the team, it was more difficult.

More speaking, in my opinion, in terms of collective statistics, no surprise, Japan was dominated in most areas, Rebounds, Assists, steals, turnovers. But despite this, the team competed well in the shooting percentage (46.6% Vs 49% and 44.4% at 3 pts Vs 44.8%), and it's a real satisfaction.

Next Monday it will be Pakistan turn.

Coming Next:
- Who are You? Huang Jiawen
- Prediction Game
- Asian TC Day 2: Pakistan
- And more ...

Tsudzuku...

Besides we lost, Hong Kong is still too strong for us, it was a good game. Pakistan will be a good game to prepare next game against Korea

Ok this week we have no Asian Tournement game, so, we have scrimmage against Singapore.
I add a player to the roster, Kentaro Nagata who play in Peru.

Prediction game will begin next Monday, I will make a special topic for it tomorow or wednesday.

Thank you Orgram for your return.

I was a little disappointed for this Hong-kong game cause at final, we are not so far, prediction was not good and I could put more intensity and maybe we could have won this match, but we could also have lost by 15 points, it was a bit risky and not very logical.

I'm sure Pakistan will be a good preparation game but victory is imperative.

Asia TC Day 3: Pakistan
No day 2 last week, cause Japan haven't got game, and this monday, our opponent will be Pakistan. I'm sorry for them to say this, but Pakistan isn't the best team in the world, it's more the opposite with his 96th place at the world ranking. Despite this, they were not so far to win last monday.
So, If Japan play seriously this game, it will be the first japanese win in the tournement.
Rendez-vous 19:00

No new entry in the roster this week, not really needed, despite the fact that there's 1 or 2 who can have today a real impact on the team. We will see on next week! Good game shape management and your player could be selected for Korea's game.

Asian TC Day 3: Debrief
Is it really necessary to debrief this game? We dominated this match in all areas.
Final score, 131-59, I expected a 70 point win and it's mission accomplished.
Let the starting five a little longer on the pitch might have allowed an even better gap, but nothing is less certain and that is an additional risk of injury. So I made the choice of a rotation of the players, despite the fact that it is perhaps 5-6 points-average points lost.

Next game will be South-Korea.
Manager Perpete is a French compatriot with big experience, who has been working with this community for a long time but it's a small community and players pool must be really limited. I think It will be 50-50

South Korea got very good results recently. It will be tough but... yes, we can.
