On Monday we have had a couple of Lithuanian guys interviewing each other and today we have a couple of our users from a different side of the world, Taiwan, sharing their experiences.
tim511013 has interviewed VanthonyDash who shares about the mistakes done in the game, as well as money management being the most important part of the game for him.
What do you enjoy most in the game? Managing team lineups, making trades, or watching matches?
I enjoy browsing the trade market every day, studying other teams' compositions and trade opportunities, although I often come up empty-handed. These days, I spend the most time watching matches.
Have you made any mistakes in the game?
Plenty. The most notable one was releasing a starting SF at the wrong time due to financial troubles, which led to later costly repercussions that I had to make up for.
What do you think is the most important strategy in this game?
Money! Money! Money! It's crucial, hence why I said it three times. How to manage your finances—I believe there have been many articles discussing this last week because finances are the foundation of team management.
Have you experienced any particularly successful moments?
Probably winning the championship in the WL6 league season by sheer strength. Although our ranking wasn't good at first, ending up with such good results made me very excited.
Have you encountered any interesting stories or plots in the game?
In a friendly match, we were leading by a large margin in the first half, only for the opponent's SF to enter zone mode and shoot three-pointers, piercing through our defense.
How do you balance game time and real-life responsibilities?
I'm glad this game is somewhat linked to real-life time. Regardless of the number of daily operations, there's only one regular match to play, and daily training is only linked to playing time, so I don't need to spend too much time on the game.
Any words of advice for new players?
Taiwan's community has recently welcomed a group of new players. I've been a newbie before, so I know newcomers encounter many problems. Don't hesitate to ask questions; many people in the group are friendly and willing to help answer questions!
jiasyuan has shown us again that sometimes only one person is necessary for making interview and interviewed himself sharing his thoughts on his recent achievements and the need to improve the mid-range and dribbling importance in the game.
How did you manage to achieve this?
I believe it's due to my unique vision. Through trades, drafts, and scouting for players in the market, I've selected players whose skills match what our team needs. I avoid wasting money on unnecessary areas like scouting and youth teams. If scouts can't find good players, there's no point in investing in a youth team. Instead, I invest all our earnings in the market, trades, and drafts. This approach leaves me with more funds to operate compared to teams spending daily on scouting.
What do you think is the key to winning games?
Rebounding and defense. Controlling the boards allows you to control the game. Protecting defensive rebounds gives opportunities for fast breaks and reduces the opponent's chances of a second attack. Grabbing offensive rebounds provides chances for second-chance points. After all, in basketball, missed shots outnumber made shots. Offense wins fans and statistics, but defense wins championships. Good defense lowers the shooting percentage and increases rebounding opportunities. So, good defense and rebounding are key to winning games in my opinion.
What does the mid-range game mean to you?
The mid-range game is like a belief to me. I grew up watching basketball during the era of MJ, Kobe, Melo, and AI, who heavily relied on mid-range shots. I believe that for wing stars, having mid-range abilities is crucial. It gives you a versatile offensive arsenal. Even now, players like KD and Booker have unstoppable mid-range games. I think the BP basketball game should improve their mid-range game; currently, it's too poor.
What improvements do you think can be made in the BP basketball game?
They should focus on improving mid-range shooting and dribble penetration. The team's dribble penetration and mid-range shot attempts are too few. After observing for so long, I've noticed that there are defensive commanders and low-post defenders among draft prospects. In my opinion, defensive commanders greatly assist in team defense. However, the team's lack of dribble penetration leads players to prefer selecting low-post defenders to enhance individual defense rather than opting for defensive commanders who possess speed and high defensive IQ. Increasing the frequency of dribble penetration and mid-range shot attempts would balance the game more instead of the current trend of excessive three-point shooting and close-range isolation plays. The team's scoring through dribble penetration and mid-range shots is currently too weak.
