Hi everyone !
I didn’t take the time earlier to wish you all the best for the new year, I hope it brings you lots of great things in real life, as well as plenty of success on BuzzerBeater, and for our national teams too !
After an expected loss against Taiwan
(82520), we faced Indonesia in the last official game of the season. On paper, we were supposed to lose this one by quite a margin, so I took some tactical risks that unfortunately didn’t pay off. The surprise at the start of the game was that Indonesia didn’t play Crunch Time (which is rather hard to understand).
So we went from a game we were expected to lose to one we actually could have won, but in the end we lost it in overtime, after a crazy comeback in the final minute of the 4th quarter.
(82522)If I had been able to anticipate that Indonesia would play Normal (which was absolutely impossible to predict), I obviously would have made different tactical choices.
We finish this second round with only one win, but I’m satisfied with this season and this new, young group that is progressing well overall. This week, I’ll be doing a major update of my player database to take a close look at the progress made by our young players.
I can already tell you that next season’s roster will probably once again include many players who are only 20 years old. But that also means the team we’ll have in Season 72 should be competitive and allow us to aim a bit higher, at least, that’s what I’m hoping for.
Thanks to BasketWorld for the kind words of support, much appreciated, and thanks as well to everyone who follows from the shadows and trains young players.
Go Malaysia!
