Shoulda been more.

Yeah, I was watching - just not in chat. Did seem like K-Mat was playing better than Hayakawa tonight.

The game was still close and Asano could feel it slipping away. He was being held to just two points but had 4 assist, the coach looked his way and said, " Asano, you're in" and as Asano was walking up to the scorers table getting ready for the next dead ball, the coach whispers in his ear, "get busy, they can't hold you kid". There was only 7:45 left in the 4th when Oishi, looking tired and a step slow due to the years of abuse, hobbled his way to the bench. Asano let's out a scream, YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! And walks onto the court and looks at the chump who would be D'ing him up, "Yo Ho, your lady is going home with me tonight BIATCH!!!...and then it started...
First....at the 7:24 mark...BOOOOOOM.....T. Asano swooshes a hook shot in J. Gascoigne FACE!!
And then at the 6:36 mark....Blammm..... Asano banks a fade-away 10 footer while guarded closely by J. Gascoigne. Asano is feeling it now but after a hard foul and a warning from the REF, the coach calls him to the bench....Now he is furious, he is seeing red and wants back in the game. Now with the lead getting smaller, the coach has no choice but to stick him back in the game and it pays off instantly..
With the lead down to only 4 and only 2:41 left, stupid Takayama shoots a three but then out of no where Asano snatches the O Rebound out of the air and puts it back in with Gascoigne all over him. With a quick lay up on Kawagichi the coach decides to slide Asano to PF. With the lead still at 4 And Asano can see Coates shaking his head as he knows he has no answer for the mighty 25yr old. And his fears were soon realized as Asano turned a nice Fuji back door pass into a two handed flush to put the game at 112-106 with 2:02 to play. With the lead cut to 5 with 1:14 left Asano puts up an off-balance jumper from the baseline and it's a perfect rain drop and all you hear is the net and SWOOOOOSH!!
And there you have it...How Asano scored 10 points in 7 minutes to save Japan....I love this game
BTW...After the game Asano was seen leaving with Gascoigne lady. It seems like she will be drinking a special Asano protein drink tonight....

*you're

And K-Mat with 18 points in 20 min on 8-9 shooting INCLUDING a 3pter? I'll take that...

OK...I fixed it.....and BTW...K-Mart balled his arse off. Nicely done sir.

Hahaha... sorry YC, I couldn't resist!

Praise where it is due. Great win by 1 point & considering all the issues it was great to even be close. Katsurou Matsumoto was brilliant stepping up when Satashi Hayakawa fouled out & scoring well done Malice looks like a fantastic training job you have done with him although was the 2 rebounds just a fluke? Yusuke Furusawa was the man as usual, at least we do have replacements in place for him being trained. 36 free throws made to 13, they kept driving into us & our only answer was fouling especially Austin was hard to stop. Not much we can do if our team is foul prone.

He does normally rebound a lot better than that... tho' Furusawa playing beside him kinda compensated.
And yup, K-Mat likes it physical.

Didn't even check opponent salaries... when you factor that in, it makes the performance all that much more impressive.

That was why Kaname Kouzuki & Hirofumi Sonoda were such a good 1-2 punch for me. Hirofumi Sonoda had the IS & ID while Kouzuki had the massive rebounds. Between them they were like 2 balanced players with much higher salarys it seemed 2 work well for me. Have to think what I want to do wih Eita Wakatsuki, he is still young enough to have a lot of molding, only IS is alrerady high. Ichiro Nishimura is 2 seasons younger & already has 2 primaries equal or higherbut seeing as I'm training both there wont be much catching up ha ha.
