... and definitely with nice starting skills, even after half a season with no training ...

Uruguay U21 86 - 89 Hanguk U21
(40462)

Money!!!!

report on the game later.

Uruguay played us like a fiddle... but persistence paid off
--
So Uruguay's manager played me. I should've seen it coming and knew it was too good to be true, but went for the gdp anyway. And for the first time this season, they didn't play motion. That trick almost paid off. Except we had home court. And the loud and faithful fans. And as the seconds ticked down. We're down by 2. We call a 30 second timeout. Draw up a quick play. Right off the inbound, Soo-Hyun Park passes to Seung-Bum Kim. Quick easy basket to tie things up 86-86. They're gonna try to eat the clock to hold the last possession. They miss! Seung-Bum Kim comes down with the rebound. We quickly move it up-court with 15 seconds left. A smart foul on their part to slow us down. Uruguay had a foul to give. Off the inbound, with the clock ticking down, Hyun-Min Kim shoots... for 3...

and that's when the money came pouring down! a Buzzerbeater!

Definitely an impressive win!!! Congrats ... great to see that your guys start to become a team to be reckoned with I'd be happy if I could pull away with a win tonight but against Israel with almost 3 times our salary (and even more times our DMI) they're definitely not an easy bait. But maybe we won't lose by more than 20, that would already be a win in my opinion.

But that's beside the point ... I'm just really impressed what you make out of those few young korean players!

Well, it's just bad that they had this different schedule and thus a slight "advantage" in being able to crunch because of the end of the season for them. But you did a good job either way ... and 3 ups are definitely looking good on a senior NT, so I guess if you continue like that (and my Kim also starts getting some ups), you'll have a nice team next season that'll be able to win a couple of games ...

We-elll ... that's one of the reasons why I have been training rebounding in the past couple of months Even though Kim is going to become a PF it probably doesn't hurt if he can rebound the ball a bit ... and yes, I know that he needs more IS more ID and also more Reb in order to become a monster
