November 19 We are the Champions!!! We are the Poseidon's ArmyThe tournment started on quiet saturday morning at 8:30, I was amazed that most of us turned up before than any others.
After the short opening ceremony, the games were on...
We face the atheletic somalians first, every one of them were tall and thin, and each had springs installed on their legs...
two of them played for the U23, and both of them played from point guard to centre, really a shame that they couldn't put all the pieces together. They lead the game for a while, until we took control of the game for two thrids of the time with a cushion of arnd 12 points. Jo and Bob lead the charge at first~ When it's 7 mins left on the clock they had a run and turned our 7pt lead into a 3 pt deficit at 45-48....we haven't scored for several minutes~ After Jo dribbled the ball for a while he passed it to the open me, at the bottom left hand corner, I took the shot at zero degrees and was not so confident with the 3pt shot...but it went in and tied the game at 48. They then went on with another quick shot, and I went back with a fake down low under the basket and equalized again at 50~ We held off their last attack and there were 24 seconds left on the clock, tommy took the ball down the court and dribbled for a while and passed it to the jonny at the baseline.....everything was at stake....the bench stood up....and Jonny makes it.....!!!!......52-50 for the first game! The PCS were our next opponent, 2 games in one day....= =", after rested for 5 hrs....we play again
The game was almost at a halt at times, not to mention the dogy refs, who I would say have no idea about the game, get some glasses! Both teams were affected a bit by fatigue and the shots just won't drop, passes into the restricted were difficult too, they had a rough player being a total ass! We exchange leads during the game, but the battle for post up spots got everyone in trouble. Bob guarded the violent player first but he got into foul trouble with shuffling with him, so my turn~ The ref was going so soft on challenges I made to him in stopping the feed to low post, a small bump and its a foul....ref...that gorilla didn't even feel a thing and you call that!
Tried going around to stop the pass...then tried holding him down from the front....also tried switching pos to distract him....caught to quick fouls and caught his elbow right on chest twice....so backed off to let the pass in but then he really force his way into the hoop spins/hits/pushes....fat ass! I kept on complaining to the other ref about his plays....later when that stuipd ref called a foul on me again, the other ref backed me up with a double foul and we get the ball...hehehe, the best is yet to come, knowing that he is on four fouls....I set him up with a charge while he low post me again...and I fall as he pushes again....beep that betta ref...asked him to leave the court. The seasaw of points then went on another short while, and we took the game with +7pts.
Had cramps in my left calf towards the end of the game.....so painful~
Played against a weaker team from the other pool, and got others who haven't played so much on to gets their legs pumping and we ended up with 30+pts. Everyone took it easy in saving energy for the 2nd game, which we would have not time to rest at all...the schedule was bit weird.
We ended up playn the PCS again, our shooting touch was just that bit sharper today, but they started by giving us a 10:0 run, and kept us scoreless for mins....until.....hahaha....and 1 play from me, we are on track after that...not long after we begin to try to hold the 5pt advantage. The violent guy didn't have the same effect today as they had another big guy...although quite old...but that new guy got some stepping moves and a soft touch, gave us some trouble at times, everyone were so angry when one of the ref was biased towards the other team all game long...the calls fell one sided.
Defensivly we stood up a notch....beginning to jump for the block and offensively we threw bodies toward the hoop. Jo's last drive got him 2 free throws...after he placed both in....we were 1pt up...and we managed to hold them off in the end. Everyone did a good job fo the whole tournment and we won a trophy and medals for each one of us~....hahaha
Really takn a break from ball now...hrhrhr....this time is for real....might do this again next year if everyone is still here~ November 11 a description that is 'very me'處女心理： 跟所有人知道的那樣，我喜歡完美，但又不是任何事都追求完美。我不像大家所說的那樣一定有潔癖，只是我覺得有些事情必須認真一點才好。我想做的事情，一定都要做的很好，而我想說的話，一定會考慮後才能出口。有時候我會不喜歡非對稱的東西，因為那使我感覺很彆扭，就好像一個花瓶擺在了桌子邊，而我可能擔心什麼時候它會掉下來。還有的時候我會被看起來很膽小，心裡想做的事情不敢做，心裡想說話也不敢說，其實當時在我的心裡，並不是單純的害怕，而是我可能考慮的太多，我總是在找我認為最合適的時機來實踐行動，只是事情似乎每次都來得很突然。我從不說我信仰絕對，但有些事情我一定認真負責。 November 01 update v1.11update v1.11 life back to normal, finished the last exam in my uni career on monday, back to reading journals...>_<" 一些小插曲 has made the past few days quite interesting surprised: remembered the wrong time for the exam anxious: booking plane tickets over the internet Finally adapting to the proper weights training of pushing the limits everytime. Can't really play basketball after each session now, but can defitnely feel the strain in the upper body after each session. The time spent for each session is also reduced to 90 mins. It is confirmed, that only Brian would be in CHCH with me over the summer. ALL others would be gone~ Lifting weights sux, so heavy, and it's so painful. Having these friends around makes going to gym much less boring. Jokes, lookn into mirrors(hahaha), and the talks..... |
