Our victory against Germany had the effect that we are back at 18th rank and with that in group 3!
We almost closed the gap to The Nederlands and Hungary.

If some of you took a closer look to our game, you may found some curious things. The 3-2 zone, Widerström as a SG, Germany had an Inside offense rating of 15 but still could score as much as they usually do.
My main idea behind this game was to stop Scott Broszeit. He is the main power of the german team for almost 10 seasons now. So it was clear who would get this job. At the same time I needed someone powerful against Broszeit. Someone who could score against him. So Widerström had to move. And I move him to the SG spot to use his offense against weak inside defenders. And the rest was just putting the best solutions for this game into the remaining slots, changing the defense order and use the 3-2 zone to do the stuff which the 3-2 does
To be honest, it was a little bit an "out of the box" thinking, but that's just the way I play... no risk no fun ^^
We finished with a FG% of 50,6% and Germany with 38,7%. So our defense was one of our main pillars...again. Broszeit was held just to almost 25% FG and we had the upper hand at the rebounds. Only their SF Volf was hard to stop.

For next week I still have no idea who to challenge. We will see...

Brilliant work!

Informative and engaging! Hats off to you!

Great work, and a brilliant gameplan that got us the victory! Great to see and read

Yesterdays victory resulted in +3 points and a new rank: 17!
We managed to surpass The Nederlands but Hungary could improve also. Our defense wasn't that great but that's okay. I played with a more offensive line up and Öby scored really well. 80% FG and 26 points in 26 minutes are awesome numbers.
As far as I see we have one more game this season. I will keep the team for this game as it is. After that I will scout every player from 18y+ and MVP+ and copy them into the NT database. This should give us an overview over all the prospects for the NT.

Tomorrow we will play against the Nederlands. We should be on the same level and I expect a hard game. Let's see if we can close the season with a win.

What a game!
Widerström showed a monster performance:
17 points, 15 rebounds, 20 assists and 6 blocks.

I really like this guy and if you remember my post from the beginning of the season

Widerström - just []

He is

Hahahaha.
Thanks for the great season guys and let's work towards the next step.
During the next days I will start scouting and updating all the swedish players with potential 9 or higher.

The last Update for this season. Enjoy

Amazing job!

Europe top 12 is not that far away anymore.

Uppmaning SVERIGE!

Jag vill uppmana er alla att hjälpa varandra och er själva att påminna varandra när ni lägger ut spelare eller när ni ser spelare som kan tränas mot U-21 eller stora landslaget!

Kan ni lova det?

KÄMPA SVERIGE!

I learned my lesson! This won't happen a second time -.-

During this week I will release some players from the NT and scout again. At the end of the week I will post a list with the current situation and start mailing some managers.
