Glad to see the team comeback and Maree with almost a triple double with blocks. Great team win.

Bad news this week :
Bagindawo Lenshina has been forced into retirement, despite his young age (30). (51531291)
He was the second-best passer in the history of the South African NT.
The manager who signed him during the off-season fired him. He was automatically put on the TL for $500K.
The price was excessive because despite his 19 OD / PA, he had some weaknesses in other key skills.
No team signed him and I couldn't save him by calling him up because he was a free agent.

That is unfortunate news. He’s a really experienced guard only at age 30. He really could’ve been the best passer in South Africa NT.

Today, we beat Nigeria 108-75: (83203)

Our excellent shooting (43.6%) and defense (60 rebounds, 9 steals and 8 blocks) allowed us to secure a comfortable W.

MOTM: Anuiyelewa Nthite who scored 21 points and grabbed 8 rebounds.

The next opponent will be Senegal.

A nice 106-90 W against Senegal tonight: (83206)

Thanks to good shooting accuracy combined with precise passing, we won our 3rd consecutive game.

MOTM: Vadiveloo Moshoeli scored 26 points on 50% shooting.

The next opponent will be Tunisia.

If a manager wants to complete Koos Linden's training, he is currently available for a reasonable $300K. His secondary skills, particularly outside defense, handling and passing need improvement. Then it will be time to focus on rebounding. If he is trained well, he will likely be recalled to the NT. He is not a usual starter in the NT, but he can be very useful as a backup when he is in good shape. (52924929)

We defeated a tenacious Algerian NT with a score of 107-92: (83217)

After a convincing 1st half, our players were surprised by their opponents' intensity after the break and let them close the gap in the 3rd quarter. Fortunately, they managed to regain control in the final 12 minutes to secure another win.

MOTM: Moyo Mosili with 23 points (9-20), 7 assists and 2 rebounds.

We have a big fight coming up against Morocco, next Monday.

Please keep your players in good shape!

Morocco beat us last night, 95-74: (83220)

The opposing coach decided to invest more effort in this game.
This decision was predictable, as Morocco already had 2L and couldn't afford to jeopardize its chances in the 2nd round.

Personally, I have chosen to reserve the enthusiasm for future battles. We'll see later if this long-term strategy pays off.

MOTM: Moyo Mosili scored 28 points (11-21), grabbed 4 rebounds and dished out 2 assists.

Another top-of-the-table clash next Monday against Egypt, currently undefeated.

We managed to beat Egypt today, 77-72: (83225)

There are no longer any undefeated teams in this tournament.

It was a very close game in which defense clearly outplayed offense.
Both teams finished with a low FG percentage (33%).

It all came down to the details, and our slight edge in turnovers (8 to 12) as well as our dominance in blocks (16 to 7) made the difference.

MOTM: Anuiyelewa Nthite finished the game with 20 points (9/20) and 11 rebounds.

Special mention goes to Motlatsi "not in my house" Maree who dominated the paint with 7 blocks and 11 rebounds.

The 2nd-round schedule will be released this week.
