arhh. lately I think my thinking has changed drastically. used to imagine that getting in hc would change everything, but I just remembered that I have to train really hard now to do well. even the seniors I respect so much and who are tons better than me didn't make it into team. what's more to be said. even if I regret not thinking much about developing my skills rather than playing in the past, now's already past that. really need to buck up man. and because of everything, I'm getting so demanding and such a irritating guy in the team I suppose.

seriously need to train damn hard lah, but then again, I don't want to be the only hci guy who gets into the team right? so I'm trying to get everyone to buck up too. but I'm not sure what will come out of our team. during these three years, the coaches have never taught us much about plays, and so, its difficult to play, cos we don't have awareness. i feel that this has greatly hindered some of the player's thinking. its only when you get to play as point guard that you can see the bigger picture. and our players aren't that steady either. me especially. nevermind la, what will pass, will pass, so I'll just do whatever I can. heh.

4 x 400m today!! veh fun. heh. the previous time i ran 400m, my timing was like wad, 70-80+. incidentally, i was injured lah. --" so stop the stuff about olympic sprinter already!! x.X anyways, today was great. leon started steady, den speed up until overtook everyone. kaiming enlarged the lead. i er. en-smallened it. lols. bt the guy behind me was also fast la. =x anyway, stanley was also fast after that, so he managed to keep 1st, and we won!! 127 points now! x) at least can get medal lah. lols.

after that, i went to shoot my 100 fts. slower than last time. haih. bt e last 25 balls i was like, okay, my ft% always below 50% right, so now at least 50%. muz finish in 50 shots. yeahh. so i juz shot, n was gotting on well until i kept missing. gahh. finally i finished at 25/41. 61%. worse than i expected, but oh well. improvement le. den i juz tried out a newer way of shooting, at higher speeds. seemed to work pretty well, can try it against our match against west spring seniors, sec 4s, i suppose. another win? i sure hope so man. i'll be playing better than the previous match. haha.

22nd Apr `o5

heheheheh. *evil grin* okok. dun be so sly. haha. hmm. today we won at last!! i can't express my feelings in words la, but, for ths particular team, whom everyone expected to lose. hahahaha. ji shuang.

okay, so let's nt delay. match summary.
1st half summary.
basically, some good passing, and although our point guard didnt play well, we took the lead. okay. starting team was jackson, tung lin, alvin, marcus ho, kevin. i think. den me, linchen and zhi kai warmed up. den me and linchen subbed in abt 5 mins. score was abt 6-2. yeahh. so we took over the front part. defence improved a lot, so we soon took the lead. somehow me and lingchen today passing better. tht time, we gt a few nice assist la. yeah. alvin was quite steady, can defend and offend well. zhi kai off form, cant shoot properly. kevin was...... stupid la. i pass the ball to him to start off the play, den he chopped it. not to brag, but the main reason for our lead was probably because of our defence. had a couple of steals and fast breaks. den rebounds were taken better than normal. dun really have any highlights i guess. except got two la. one is lingchen threw the ball over the "crowd", den i alleyed in. heh. e other was a bad highlight. i pretend to lay-up, den behind the back by lingchen, but too low. so yeahh. as for nice passes, got 2 i rmbr by me. i faked, den i passed thru everyone there. n another 1 was when i lay-up, den they like thought i was gna score, so cover me. den i let it fly to our center, who scored. lingchen doesnt deserve any mention, since he normally pass good already. except tht he kept driving in, den pass. improvement. he also relied on alvins rebounds, and zhi kai, kevin, and marcus steady ball control.

2nd half summary.
ahh. rained finish. floor wet. marcus chew = play badly in wet court. last time. lols. okok. we went to warm up, since we cooled down alr. did some stuff to get sweating first. so our body tempo was nt bad when we started off. we broke off with a few fast breaks, and i started to drive in less. lingchen increased his scoring, when he did tht super reverse lay-up/shot. everyone as usual, xia dao la. den i jumped to shoot, n ppl all wait for rebound. but i passed it to tung lin who wasted no time in scoring. kevin sadly, didnt play as much. zhi kai started to score more. marcus also scored his uh, 2 pts here. nice shot la. he also played better, and started to go out for the ball more. took a few steals, got a few more assist, memorably the one where i ran all the way back, only to realise he stole the ball at half court, den passed it to lingchen. kai yuan didnt play. our defence was getting slower, but somehow, i feel it was nt better, but stronger. more energy used to snatch the ball back. all in all, everyone did try their best, and played well.

ok. that's about it. good 1 la. haha. keep it up, n jiayou!
