Before starting to go too deep into scouting I'd like to put up this thread to thank everyone for the support and trust. As most of you know I am not very new to the NT's but I always thought U21 is a lot different so I'm a bit anxious but very excited to take on the challenge.

I'll be dropping a few mails to start with as I scout along but PLEASE, PLEASE feel free to drop me a message if you want to discuss your trainee or even just to catch up. ;)

Salamat ulit mga idol!

I trained a big man pero it seems like mas marami ang deserving sa slot. This is why scouting is important and communication, could have trained a sf instead. First order of business my mail na ako natanggap this is what nt coaches should do. Forecast ano kailangan and communicate with trainers. If there are too many big men being trained or guards we as a community should know. A coach sees the big picture. Kung meron kayong 18 or 19 na draft na maganda bagsak ng skills share your plans with coach Jeorge. Best shot to make the team.

Tagal magbot mga suspected banned accounts. 6th week na. Siguro naman last week na ito.

Most likely after the economic update on Monday.

U21 Press Release #1

Pilipinas U21 outclasses Vietnam U21 in a 61-point rout: 101-40
Pilipinas U21 power forward duo of Encomienda and Calo lead the way
Vietnam U21 fields 7 of 10 players

For Team Pilipinas U21 (19th seed), the difference between beating and routing Vietnam U21 (77th seed) all came down to energy.

Team Pilipinas U21 asserted its dominance in the interior against a hapless Vietnamese squad, posting huge leads of 23 points by the half (44-21), and 37 points by the end of the third quarter (71-34). Vietnam’s U21 motion offense did little against Team Pilipinas, finishing the game with 16 conversions out of 89 attempts from the field (18%), including an atrocious 2/24 clip from behind the arc (8%). Team Pilipinas U21, on the other hand, used its big men to take control of the paint. Pilipinas U21 forward Ron Encomienda finished the game with a game high 20 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, and 3 turnovers in 29 minutes of action.

Bench scoring also played a huge factor in the game, with Team Pilipinas U21 reserves not allowing the Vietnamese U21 squad to score a single point (38-0). Reserve forward Augustus Calo led the Pilipinas U21 bench with a near double-double, logging 18 points, 9 rebounds 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block in 19 minutes.

In what appears to be one of more peculiar events of the game, the Vietnamese U21 squad decided to field only 7 of its 10 players in the roster. Coach Amarant could not be reached for comment as to why this approach was utilized. Forward Chanh Luu led the Vietnamese with 13 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals.

Pilipinas U21 is expected to win against 76th seed UAE, while Vietnam U21 looks forward to bounce back against favored New Zealand U21 (38th seed).

Stat lines of the game:

Vietnam U21
The Vietnam U21 reserves played a total of 15 minutes, finishing with 1 rebound and 2 turnovers.

Pilipinas U21
All players logged at least 17 minutes of playing time, with only 1 player failing to score (Allan Leuterio – 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals)

Both teams did not do well from behind the arc: Vietnam converted only 2 out of 24 attempts, while Pilipinas converted only 1 of 7 seven attempts

Thanks for this great write-up Sir! Looking forward to the next releases. :)

To All, please welcome our official PR manager, fpanzer10, team manager of Waffen Engineering (54605).

Great start by our boys this week. Special props to Encomienda showing why he's one of the leaders of this team and why he was with last year's team at 20y/o only. On to the next one vs UAE!

Shout out also to the managers who have been saving players from going bot or to a foreign owner. Malaking tulong yan. Kung may training questions kayo feel free to reach out. If alam niyo na ginagawa niyo thats great as well just give the coaches a heads up kung ano plano ninyo para hindi redundant ang positions that we are training for. We want to have a more diverse team in the future capable of playing different types of offense and defense. Wag natin sayangin training efforts ninyo.

Pilipinas U21 News Update #2

Pilipinas U21 thumps UAE U21: 129-50
All Pilpinas players scored

It did not take long for Team Pilipinas (18th seed) to dominate a hapless UAE (76th seed) squad with a score of 129-50, getting their second win in as many outings in the S52 Championship Tournament.

For Team Pilipinas, the game was well decided by the end of the first half.

Team UAE U21 simply had no answer for point guard Billy del Prado, who finished the game with 40 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 blocks in 32 minutes of action. The entire UAE squad scored 50 points for duration of the game. “We did win by a lot, but we were also careless (in handling the ball). This should not happen in our next matches,” said del Prado during the post-game interview with media. “Our brilliant shooting display does not mean we can turn the ball over a lot”.

Givon Ushnanai led Team UAE U21 with 19 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 steals.

“We want to take advantage of our matches in Pool C, given we are going to play against powerhouse (7th seed Taiwan),” Coach Jeorge said when asked to comment on the team’s performance. “We want to make sure our point difference is high, in case of a tie-breaker.”

Team Pilipinas U21 is expected to win against 96th seed Pakistan, while Team UAE U21 is looking to get its first win against 37th seed New Zealand.

Stat lines of the game:

Pilipinas
- The Pilipinas U21 reserves scored as much as the entire UAE squad (50 points)
