So. How do you know you are better in rebounds? Ratings says different. He had HCA as well, we dont know about enthusiasm, maybe crowd involvement coach as well for him? These are factors in his favour. He was very good at rebounding, he crushed you in rebounds (cca 86% to 55%). That is HUGE difference. On the other hand he had 8 more turnovers what helped you.

Now matchups:
POS/OFF (pts)/DEF (pts)/NET (pts)

PG/0,87 (13) / 1,91 (21) / -1,04 (-8)
SG/ 1,17 (14) / 1,08 (14) / +0,09 (0)
SF/ 1,56 (28) / 0,72 (13) / +0,84 (+15)
PF/ 1,11 (10) / 1,04 (24) / +0,07 (-14)
C/ 1,14 (25) / 1,18 (20) / -0,04 (+5)

You were more efficient at SF and slightly on SG and PF. But you ended up +1 in pts only! He was better at PG spot and slightly at C and that gave him +3 pts.

Your guards lacks inside shot (and at least Upeslacis defense?) while your opponent has these spots covered, your guards are more drivers without IS,ID and his are more IS,ID players. His PF was the key pretty much. He defended very well your PF, but your PF was pretty efficient anyway (maybe from pass shots?). On the other your PF had problems in defending his PF (his own shots).

So combination of AWAY game (enthusiasm,speciality coach) and not most suitable tactic from your side were the biggest reasons of your lost. He is built up better for tactic used and you couldnt manage to exploite more of his problems like SFs OD and maybe bigs OD. Your center looks better than his..

Well maybe didnt put it smoothly. Upeslacis may be good in inside but he might have "unnecessary" high other skills, like JS that tend him shoot from outside more than from inside. Shuochao was 5/6 from inside while had total 10 shots. Upeslacis was 1/1 from inside with 8 total shots. That says Shuochao is pure inside oriented PG and therefore was more suitable for this tactic. Similar applies to Kern and Gurleyen with only 1 inside attempts what is very low for inside attack. Madera (his SG) was 3/3 from inside. That indicates high jumps to compare to inside? And about ID, Upeslacis had 4 leaks on those 6 Shuochao´s attempts.. I dont want to reveal or try to reveal too much but I guess your opponents dont read this thread.

Rebounds were obviously the key, so i guess enthusiasm was also difference, besides mentioned HCA.

Good luck

I know it might not be that big of a surprise but if there can be any other reason than enth, then I would be really disappointed.

Our nt played a game against Hanguk at home. We played pic, they played normal.
Our LI/m2m vs their LP/m2m
In overall ratings, our team was much better, around 5 level difference
(sum of levels 63 vs 58)
Theor OS 7 and Flow 8 vs our OD 10 meaning that they should have problems from outside scoring, (considering their offensive style of lp) and ball movement.
Our OS 8 and flow 10 vs OD 10 - same here, as we werne't supposed to attack from perimeter, but our flow was much better and we should have had advantage in realization.
As to the main ratings:
Their IS 13 vs our ID 12 and our IS 14 vs Their ID 11. Reb was the same - 9. (also their starting C got injured 4 mins into the match). His substitute was the only 100+K player (103K) and the rest of the roster was under 90K. How on earth could their defense at 11 hold our IS of 14, especially when almost the whole our roster was in 9GS (only pgs-starting and backup were with 8 GS, but with 240 and 140k salary and around 4 and 1.5mil dmi). Our starting sg, sf, pf and C combined for average 18on IS with very good HA/DR especially on 2-4 positions. All the backups on sf-pf-c were in 9 GS also with high IS - 50skills in total, around 17 on average. We shot <50% and thei shot >50%. And the game was played on our court. And our ID was very good also - Starting players (2-5position) summed up for 69 ID skills, more than 17 on average, and 3-5 position backups had 49 ID skills, more than 16 on average. And we lost basically without a chance, though the difference isnt that big, we didnt get in the striking distance the whole match. Ft realizatoin was almost the same, they missed 9fts, we missed 10. There GS on average was way lower than ours. Also No clue how our C's have 160pp vs their 106 and we get 15 pts from C's vs their 17pts.

well, three "interesting games" in a season. all of them at home, enthusiasm was always similar...

.....

so, the choke job in 4th Quarter outsocred 30-14 to lose by 5 aside...

Why does he have 32 FT attempts, as the team trailing the majority of the game, to my team's 13 FT attempts?

Perimeter shots don't draw fouls.

PG's ID is 12 with 4 SB
SG is 9 with 7 SB
SF 8 with 7 SB


PF and C both had 14+ ID
bench PF 12 ID
bench C 14+ ID


I was prepped for LI....

Stamina? You had a lot of players 40+ minutes.
