BuzzerBeater Forums

The main thing is, that we have won this first game. The result was 85-53, but in big parts of the first half it was quite close. However in the end we achieved a clear win about a not that strong expected opponent.
The most points scored our Power Forward Backup Tidalgo and Center Rosal, but of our players no one could really impress...

The best about the game was the defense and next weak against Lubnan, you will see a very high win :-)

Ok next stage on our way to the final :-)

It is only a scrimmage, but maybe it is more important than any simple game against India or Lubnan. Today we will face the World- and also Asian champion China on a neutral place in Hong Kong. The People's Republic of China (PRC), commonly known as China, is the most populous state in the world with over 1.3 billion people. Only 1700 people oout of these 1.3 billion are playing Buzzerbeater, but this is enough to be the favorit against our team.
Of course we won't get any points for a win, but after the game we will know, how much we can reach this season.

We still have a few problems on the Forward positions. Yorac has still not a good game shape, because he was injured during the game on thursday and our Power Forward Backup Tidalogo can't play for one week. Also Delmo and Dabandan don't have a good game shape, so we have to improvise on the Small Forward Position.

Players:

The Chinese Starting 5 could look like this...

Point Guard: Zhao Fucun (11821107)
Shooting Guard: Wang Changbiao (11822390)
Small Forward: Zhao Xinbin (11822410)
Power Forward: Wu Wenmin (11822120)
Center: Guo Qunpeng (11822842)

Even the game shape of the chinese players is better than ours, so it will be very tough to win, but I will try to give my best to reach a win, although the result won't be so important.

I will be in the chat at the second half, would be nice, if I could see someone of you there. I think I have choosen a time, which could be quite good ;-)

Ok, was the expected defeat today, but I think this isn't so tragical :-) Of course it doesn't have to be that high the result, but our perfomance will be much better in a important game against China :-)

In fact i just wanted to ell you, that I finally created a Forum for the U21, a few managers offered their help, so i please register, in this forum we can talk about everything, which belongs to the U21 :-)

But I first have to accept a register, so never fear, no chinese manager can read these posts there :-)

Next step today is Lubnan, a very easy opponent, who we will beat quite clear, even if they play a crunch time. That's why we can try a few new players in the lineup, because many important players do not have a good shape at the moment, on the one hand because of injuries (tidalgo,yorac) and on the other hand because of too many minutes (lazareto) :-(...

However, this a chance for other players to show their potential, and they will not disappoint us.

Players:

Point Guard: (13574208)
Shooting Guard: (15007475)
Small Forward: (15007500)
Power Forward: (15007508)
Center: (13574229)

So you can see, no of their players would be in our team, many of them even would'nt be good enough for the third divison.

Once again I just want to remember to register for this forum, if you are interested in helping your national team and very important, if you are registered do not hesitate to post and to advance your view :-)

See you all in the chat in 5 hours, cheers!

And the next victim on the road to the final will be the United Arab Emirates today. Unfortunately I don't have the time to write a detailled preliminary report, but I don't think, that this is necessarily for this game. It will be a quite clear win again, but I hope, that we can play more and more with the best players we have. Lazaretos game shape is a 7 now and Yorac has a 6, of course this is still not perfect, but they will be as backups a part of the team today.

But this two are not our only problem-players. Sabela, Delmo and Alegre also only have a 7 at the game shape, I hope, that the managers understand, what I want them to do over the season :-)

But I can also report you something enjoyable: The training on friday was excellent, many players improved, so I think we are on a good way :-)

Wish you all a nice day and hope to see you in the chat...

what happen to our U21 community?
any one active in the forum?

And the next step will be Malaysia. This opponent is still too weak, that they could be a hard task for us and that is why, I don't want to talk so much about them. But I've got a lot of positive information about our U21. The game shape of our players is getting better and better, only Alegre had bad minues last week, because of his transfer. I hope, that his new manager treats him well, beause he is very important for us. Our guards are on a high level now, the training works really good, nevertheless also there we've got problems. But these are not that big as the ones, we've got at the Big Guys positions. Our two best centers at the beginning of the season don't get any training, thank god, that Rosal and Lacsamana are very nice :-)

So we want to win the next 3 games, that we finish first in our group and after that the competition really begins :-)

For all members of the U21 team, please use the forum and also post there, because I would love it, if you could tell me, if I'm doing something wrong with the lineup and so on ;-)

For all other managers, if you want to help us, please just register :-)

Hmm, seems like the u21 isn't that interesting for you this season, however, for me it is and I've got a lot of fun and motivation to reach the final, although it will be very very hard.

In 1:15 we've got our last game in the first round, and though we are already qualified for the next round it will be the hardest, the most thrilling and also the most interesting game of the season until now. The opponent will be Australia, the number 15 of the world. But we are by now the 6th best team in the world, unfortunately is this only the opinion of the world ranking :-)

However, of course we want to finish the group with 6 wins and that's why we won't take this game lightly. Sadly, we've still got few problems on a couple of positions, for example, our best guard is injured or our best point guard gets his game shape back only now.

Thankfully this is only a group game, which will not decided about the whole tournament, but who knows, maybe the first place will be worth one's weight in gold :-)

Have a nice day and I hope, that you can enjoy the game

Cheers intendis

thanks a lot :-)

would be great, if there will be more managers in the chat at interesting games...

same for me by the way, don't know what the australian coach wants to reach with this move :-)

6 Philippines U21 27 Hong Kong U21 Iran
19 Iran U21 6 Philippines U21 Iran
6 Philippines U21 55 Saudi Arabia U21 Iran
6 Philippines U21 70 Kazakhstan U21 Iran
57 Indonesia U21 6 Philippines U21 Iran

ok, these are our next 5 games, don't know whether it is good or not, to have the most difficult one right at the beginning, i can't say too much about the game, because of course i don't want to bespeak something and also i don't know the game shape of our players :-)
