hmm, now im missing my gf here in sg. think she is the only one that i can talk to and will listen to me without interrupting me. haha. things is not going my way lately. my temper seems to back and i vent my anger at my mum jus now when she kept calling me during bball training. every tue and thur i'll have training but she still call and ask where im in a shock tone why im not at hm.
when i reached hm first thing i did was to hug her and say sorry. think she understand ba. coach ask me to play forward cos he said im the lousiest center in the sp team. i really feel like laughing but i accept it ba. if im lousiest den why u kept putting me play during the tournment ? LOL? im the shortest thus it make me out of size in the paint. short = lousy. tall = good. hmm as now he ask me to play forward, it mean a total new ball game plan for me. jus now during training we were training shooting and i miss my first 4shots. and he ask me u miss 4shots liao right ? i replied ya. he replied liddat how to play forward. i was thinking u were the one who ask me to play forward. its not me who said i wanna be a forward.
maybe i shld jus quit bball ba. that is no coach who understand my best playing position now. no player who really believe in what im able to do if you decide to tag with me during play. gone were the days when the coach have faith in me, not matter who we are playing. gone were the days when im playing in a team who believe in each other and share the ball. believing in each other that each one of us in the team can do the job. but always after training i look back on our training, i think its a team of raw gems. its jus unpolish. without the simple foundation of passing, defend and teamwork. its all individual, be it in defend or attack. everybody is doing on their own. no help in defend. no teamplay in attack. i don see us doing a few passes and someone is open for a shot. i don see a forward passing the ball to a center and the center hold the ball and pass back while pushing into the paint and the forward return the pass for the center to score.
i don see a simple triangle offence, simple pick and roll, over loading one side to attack. i don see forward coming down 180 to shoot. i only see 2 forward at 45 and 1 at 90 while 2 center in the paint. ball to center its gone. forward miss pass if not attack without passing. the offence really sucks. the defence oso sucks. i think the whole thing cant slide ard defend. thats no telling of teammates who is going to screen him. left or right. thats no help side. go pass one ppl = str open to basketball. we are like a la lakers, boston celtics or 76ers. with only i guy getting the offence going. some may say he is solo. but he is really the only one who can consistently score against teams. so ppl who kb him solo or what shld look at yr ownself and start bucking up. and not kbkb and still miss pass and no offence.
as for center i think we all sucks. ppl is sayin us center do it on our own. i think its true too. ball to center means we will force up the basket. we are too rush. ppl double team we still jus attack without passing the ball to a open teammates. where is the teamplay ? im at fault too as i do this sometimes. we hold the ball to long without passing, wasting the shot clock. we don box out, okay yes we did. but can we say we box out the correct way ? or at least say we box out in a way the guy is unable to jump and challenge u for the ball ? in a clean way too ? i doubt it. in training we get the ball cos we are too lazy to fight for the offence rebound. the whole team is not serious in training. we are divided into diff grps. we are not bond as one like nyp. although they lost their center. the whole team still have a diff game plan. their team spirit is high. they share the ball, and with a diff gameplan they still is able to fight.
i think if gary is injured, i cant imagine how we are going to attack. we will be looking like a bunch for mindless bee as they say it, not knowing what to do. if we look at np, tp, nyp and rp, they have diff grps of ppl scoring cos they share the ball, believe in each other. sp ? i think we are a bunch of individual who think we are good. its the me in the game, the 1on1, the insolation. we don share the ball. forward and center are playing for themselves. we shld start looking at us in the mirror and correct our fault. and not saying bad things abt others when they are at fault!
diff grp of ppl in the team say bad things abt another grp of ppl when they are together. hai. i really hate this feeling man. when i in diff grp i heard things abt the other guy who is not with this grp and in another grp hear another type. i don care if anyone gossip abt me. maybe some of the team ppl is saying qx is so weak shldnt be playing starting 5 in 2 or 3 games. why he so lousy still play so much all this blah blah. maybe some have told the coach and thus the coach think im lousy too and thus drop me into forward ? playing as a noob forward will sure mean bench time for me. i consider not playing for sp liao but there is too much for me to think abt. this has not happened to me b4. kss we were a team. tongwhye youth we were so strong though we doesnt come frm the same sec that we still go out together. sp year 1 we were so bond that we will organise training within ourself if not is tok cock. miss those days man when the team is really a team.
although we are a team of motherfucker talk abt ppl bad things behind his back one, this don like this playin style, that don like this attitude, i really hope all this training will strengthen our bond and make up play better in the upcoming IVP. put our diff away. this is my last year. i shall continue playing. really regret not playing when i was year 2 when yunhui, zhenglong and leeteck was still playing. i shall endure and not live to regret.
ps - this post im not talking abt individual. its abt the SP bball team! hmm, are we a team ?
