Hi. The teams in Monday are entering a new season.
I am very glad to return to the NT leadership. I am very pleased that many guys have progressed in two seasons, the squad looks the strongest in a long time. The draw of the group is also quite successful, the team will have a lot of hard matches ahead. The game with Norway is ahead, I wonder what we will be able to show. Perhaps it makes sense to experiment.
By personalities:
Boyd is a machine, the most skilled player in the history of Scotland.
Lyle is a stable starter, he has already gained a lot of experience.
Spens is on the decline, but can still play.
MacShimes is in prime, a great player.
Lawson, Lochiel, Michael are close to prime, they are also very cool players.
The rest of the guys are more like role players.
You can also single out MacPhee separately - a guy at 22 is ready to get game minutes

Our first match in the group was with Norway. Defeat 98-118.
We played in a lower mood, so it was difficult to win. Unable to defend themselves qualitatively against the Norwegian guards, which determined the final result.
They looked pretty good in attack, there were very decent segments. All players who received minutes scored points and assists.
The next match will be against Romania, a very strong team.

There are only two 21 year old players on the roster, but we're stronger than you'd think. There's a group of 19 year olds with high TSPs. I'm thrilled that they are already able to contribute to our U21 NT.

Next game: Albania

We were well prepared playing a 3-2 zone against an outside oriented offense. I knew they'd go for a 2-3 zone, so I decided to go for an outside oriented offense as well. The result: 35 to 61 in rebounds. That cost us a game we could have won.

Next game: Austria

The second match in the group is against Romania, a 71-130 defeat.
It turned out to be a failure on all fronts. We could not adequately show ourselves either in attack or defense.
Yes, we played with less spirit again, an important Lawson player was injured and only one player has shape 9. But we have no right to lose 59 points to any opponent.
However, according to the team ratings, we were not so bad.
We are waiting for the next match against Austria, I hope that we will show a much better game

On Monday, both national teams played matches with Austria at once.
Unlike the junior team, the senior team could not win, the defeat was 93-103.
Although we were behind in the score from the beginning of the match, we leveled the game in the second half of the game. We were pretty close to winning, 3:30 before the siren even led by one point. But the clutch was not left for us, and already fouls and free throws helped the opponent to increase the difference.
Nevertheless, I am happy with the game, our attack and defense worked quite confidently.
The next match is with Moldova, we must confidently take the victory.

The NT team played a very nervous match again. Only at the end of the game we managed to defeat Moldova, a victory of 112-105.
We played in a lower mood, but the opponent turned on MOTS. We played quite well in attack, it was difficult in defense, our players fouled a lot, but in the end they coped.
Apparently this will be our only victory, ahead of the match with Sweden, which is going well in the tournament, and then two matches with the grandees. Nevertheless, we have a fairly high enthusiasm, with a good form of players, we will try to fight.
Also congratulations to the u21 team, they are going great in the tournament, the score is 3-1. The opponents ahead are not the most difficult, we can easily go to the playoff. Even if the roster of the team is not the strongest this season.

99-113.
The match against Sweden was pretty good, we even led in the score at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. If I had put up personal protection, maybe they could have won. But the opponent needs a victory more.
Ahead of the match with Israel. The team is in good shape. It is impossible to win, but I hope for a competitive game
