Ok, if you're not training GS and I'm not training GS, then who's training GS? I think we're the only two that should even consider that.

Not all U-21 players from Japan are playing in Japan..

Early training!!!

No pops for Matsumoto, but my other trainee (HK guy) has had 4 pops in 2 weeks!

Well the bad news for Kawagichi was he fouled out against Yoks so only got 43 minutes training, his worst ever. The good news was that brought his minutes to 62 meaning he is in proficient game shape with a 500,000 DMI. Even better despite the 43 mins he had a double pop. It is looking like by the end of the season he will be 5 x wondrous, not bad at age 21 and maybe by 23 he could be at NT standard. We surely have one of the best passing U21 teams in Asia now.

Matsumoto, Ikouga, Amori and Kentaro are also looking great, we just need another capable big man. Kazumi Murata looks like he could be the star of our future, funny looking at him, Yonetoshi Haga and Shin Shidehara and thinking there could be the core of our season 22 team.

What is wrong with Shinya Takara's owner? After already playing 68 minutes in a week as if you then play him 48+ in a scrimmage in the same position.

Not as bad as the NT forefit but a bad loss for the U21 team. Macau got us with the 2/3 zone getting a huge rebounding edge. Odd game. We had much better offensive flow yet they had 50% mose assists than us. A couple of our players had very bad nights including Kawagichi who must for the second time must hang his head in shame. You would think playing against the 2/3 zone and very weak outside defence Kentaro and Amori would do very well but both took a lot of shots but made less. Only backup PG Ikouga shot well. Despite the LI offence the C position took the least shots.

PG 10/17, SG 5/11, SF 7/24, PF 10/22 and C 5/10.

I read that PA is opposed by OD so if your opponents OD is 12 then 16 PA is proabably as good as 20 but if your opponent has 17 OD then you want the higher PA. HA I am not so sure about, but you have to train one on one to get your DR up and HA pops along with it so I don't see how anyone could avoid it even if they wanted to.

You'd have to be happy with me: double pops for both Matsumoto & Yamasaki...

Thanks...I haven't really been in the mood to post since that Macau loss. I have had 112 pops in 8 weeks(including todays training) and I have had only 10 rebounding pops...I begged for rebounding training and nobody did it(your boy doesnt need it)...It also didn't help that my second and third best bigs always have bad GS...after next weeks game I will cut those bad 21's and keep some of the good ones who need the experience.

Sorry. Must be hard to have so little control over your players. Still the 2 point loss to Singapore at the start of the season showed what a great team we had and Im sure noone blames you for all the close losses when the players just werent in shape to play. I did JS training this week and got not one pop from anyone at all, very disappointing. Back to it for another week I guess but I want The Shinkansen to be able top score at least a little bit before I go back to pressure.

How did I miss Tomohito Matsuyama going up for sale? $500k, lol I would have paid double that. That is the player I need draft to really live out my NT fantasies. I guess for now The Skinkansen will have to do. Funny that 2 of our best U21 players for season 22 are both 19 year olds with $5k salary, 3 if you include Yonetoshi Haga.

The 4 19 year olds
Yonetoshi Haga - Swoosh
Tomohito Matsuyama - Stunners
Shin Shidehara - Kyoto Shogun
Kazumi Murata - Isehara Pistons

Looks like the JBBL is leading the way & you can compete & train.
