What a tough group our U21 NT fell into, with Hong Kong, China and Australia, it's impossible to dream about the semi finals this season. However, the team looks very good. Last game against HK was impressive. We lost by 19 but this is the small win margin of any non friendly game by HK this season. More impressive is our defense, HK scored only 64 points shooting at a poor 29% and not scoring a single 3 point basket out of 9 attempts.

We are not at the top of Asia, this is impossible to do but looking at the competitive game we had against HK, I want to congratulate Barbenoir, our U21 NT manager for his great work managing our team. May you stay here for a long time!

In the end, our NT did well, despite having troubles this season: 2 players retired during the season due to big injuries and many players went unexpectedly on the transfer list. We finished #34, 2 spots away from the qualification to the knock out phase.

Congratulations to WalterZ, our NT manager, for making the most out of a limited roster.

The win against Australia was a pretty nice upset, congratulations! Winning against Pakistan will guarantee us the 3rd rank in our group. It would be better than what I had first anticipated. Great job, Malaysia U21 looks pretty serious now!

[U21]

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the lack of communication. I've been really busy with IRL commitments, but rest assured, I'm still here to coach the team and keep us moving forward.

Here’s a quick recap of the latest news :

we’ve qualified for the second round and are doing very well so far ! A win against Pakistan could give us a shot at second place, depending on the outcome of the other match between China and Hong Kong.

In any case, we’ll give everything until the end !

I’d also like to congratulate (256651) for their dedication, Guo Ruijang has just broken the U21 rebounding record for Malaysia ! Well done !

Thanks to all the managers who continue to train our nationals players and go Malaysia !!!

[U21] End of the season

We wrap things up with a great win against China and a defeat against Lithuania in the qualifier game. The result made sense given the circumstances.

From the coaching staff's perspective, it was a great season! We had a solid team, especially considering the size of the nation. It’s clear, though, that we’re still missing that little something extra to aim for more.

Perhaps a better draw in the second phase, or maybe just getting our game shapes a bit more finely tuned... In any case, we’ll keep working on our progress in hopes of eventually bringing home a medal some time !

Next season will be in the consolation bracket, so we’ll see how that goes.

Thanks to all the managers who focus on player development, and good luck to everyone for the upcoming season!

Go Malaysia!!

Winning against China is always something to be proud of. It shows how much potential this our U21 NT has and I see that you are pushing in the good direction. We have a lot more promising local young talents being trained. It was what I expected when you started and I see it coming: a brighter future for our NT teams.

Good job and hidup Malaysia!
