Well then let's hope he'll get those downs after you've won HCA in the tournament. Or not even then so he might still be able to participate in the tournament next season. (but that's probably a little bit too optimistic and too much to hope for ...)

Good way to start the new year. Congratulations on the victory. And I guess we won just because you‘ve got two (soon to be) perfect players at SF.

Hanguk U21 85 - 71 Lubnan U21
(58408)

pretty hard to get excited about the win when we can't see it in the viewer, but a win is a win.
It's gonna take a bit of hoping and praying this season, but the goal is always to make it to the 2nd round robin.

That’s a good goal! Looking forward to seeing it achieved by you!

And I thought you said your „new“ Lim would have a hard time to get into the NT, if ever. Now he‘s 24, and I thought after you called him up: „ok, he knows Perpete, so that helps getting a spot on the roster“. And then he showed me that he‘s going to be a monster off the bench. Scoring 19 points with 8-9 shooting, 3-3 from downtown. Better than We who started at SG - but needed 36 minutes to score 19 points rather than 12 like Lim. He did dish out 4 assits, though. But if you score like Lim, you don’t need to pass the ball, I guess.

If I‘m not mistaken, 4 out of 5 starters were from Gangnam, 1 from Perpete. And no Kim from Utopia. But he was kind of exhausted after scoring 70 points on Saturday, so thanks for letting him have an easy time.

Great start into the season and year!

Schedule is out. If you end up with 4-4 that would be great, 5-3 would be amazing but also almost impossible. After those two nice games to start with not a nice schedule with Spain, USA, Croatia and Slovenija. And against the "smaller" nations it can also be hard to win if the decide to CT us ...

Good luck anyway, I hope for GS9 all along the way for the team!!

I feel sad.

Same here. Especially since the team is getting really good - but even if all players are at GS 9, you still don't have the depth that those "big" countries have. And also not the potential of some players to become world-class international players. But you'll give it your best as always and if we get lucky, who knows?

Quick update on the korean teams in the ASL.

Gangnam at 5-2, ranked third place in his division. Seems to be a hard division and he might end up in the playdown series. But at least it seems pretty sure that he'd have HCA. If that was the case, his opponent will quite likely be Soul Crushers as Kitakyushu seems to aim for the first (or second) draftpick. Either way, it's pretty sure that Soul Crushers will demote again after this season. At least they are out of the cup so Lee might get back into something resembling "ok" GS.

Busan is doing a great job in his division, currently ranked at 4th place with a 4-3 record. He might still end up at 5th or 6th place but with a good shot at HCA in the playdowns. And if he makes the playoffs, even better. So at least the korean teams, few as they are, are doing everything to show the other asian teams that not only the National Teams, managed by Perpete and Statsman are to be reckoned with. Would be a dream if we got more korean teams that would stay and draft great potential players. Not going to happen soon, I guess, but one can dream ...
