We beat Nigeria 100-77 tonight: (78543)

Your team effort for this game: Take it Easy
Nigeria looked like the only team trying out there.


Our defense was paramount and we were able to save enthusiasm.
MOTM: Muileki Simelaine with 19 points (8-12), 13 rebounds and 2 assists.

We are qualified for the semi-finals and our opponent will be Morocco.
This will be next Friday evening.
Morocco is very strong. They managed to beat undefeated Egypt tonight.
I count on all managers to keep their players in good shape.
A GS training would be much appreciated.
If our players are not in great shape, it will be very difficult to win.

We lost in the semi-final to Morocco 83-98: (78861)
I'm disappointed, but this team seemed superior to ours. Beating them would have been an achievement.
I'd still like to thank all the managers, because with a few exceptions, the players were in good shape.

We're missing a few players to be able to compete with such an opponent. Fortunately, some young guards are well trained and should quickly make their mark. I'm more worried about our inside players.

Koos Linden (52924929) and Motlatsi Maree (52929254) are very different players who can become dominant if they are well trained. However, they are only MVP. I hope they don't hit the cap too early.

Here are the players who could join the team in the future, if all goes well, but there is still a lot of work to be done:

Aaron Dijkslag - HOF : (53257788)
Umi Munthali - HOF : (53257739)
Desigan Luvoyo - MVP : (52595964)
Leabua Moloto - MVP : (53253854)
Juggie Zonke - MVP : (52595959)
Mthunzi Nkopane - superstar : (52928500)
Liod Mbangwa - superstar : (52595865)

The potential of the last 2 could block them quickly though.

Juggie Zonke is for sale. If someone wants to train him, it's time.

Desigan Luvoyo was bought by a manager who does not intend to train him.
I’m trying to change his mind because it would be a great loss for the team...

Season 68 - Consolation Tournament.

As I do at the beginning of every season, I collected the skills of all the players who are likely to join the national team sooner or later and e-mailed the managers.

The expanded list includes around 50 players. But there are obviously many younger players whose development over the next few seasons will determine their chances.

I'll complete the 1st roster of the season on Sunday, and we'll play a friendly against Georgia on Monday evening. The schedule for the consolation tournament has not yet been released.

Shafilshuna is for sale for $1. This will likely be his last season with the NT. However, I recommend hiring a trainer with the specialty "career extension" in order to slow down skill drops. Improving his stamina would be great too.

To kick off the season, we beat Georgia 173-161 in an ultra-offensive game: (79332)
Stephen Buffery (47 pts) and Moyo Mosili (37 pts) did the show.
Next Monday, the real stuff will start against Bolivia.

We started the competition with a win over Bolivia (105-89), who played at a higher attitude: (79374)
Our good shooting ability, especially at 3 points, and our defense compensated for the low number of rebounds.

MOTM: Muileki Simelaine finished with 13 points, 19 rebounds and 6 assists.
Special mention for Stephen Buffery who finished top scorer with 18 points in 18 minutes.

We will play against Uruguay, a much stronger opponent, next Monday.
Thank you for keeping your players in shape.
