Learning the Real Game
Its been a while since i last post. The reason is because i was rather busy with my studies and also managing my time to play basketball. So far i think that i have improved alot. From the very first post up to now, i think that i can proudly say i have master how to do a proper lay-up. Now, i am trying to learn a few street basketball tricks on the internet. This is to allow me to get past the defenders. There was once where i and my class went to play basketball,tennis and badminton together. I remebered that image very clearly. I was able to get past 4 guys from my class in a row but i think i fail to get the ball in. To me that was enough as i was able to get past 4 men was already a great accomplisment. To add on to my new ball, i have got a new basketball shirt and pants and today i even bought a brand new basketball shoe. The shoe is slight purplish and mostly black and what symbolises the whole shoe is the logo behind the shoe: Los Angeles Lakers which is my favourite team as my favourite player Kobe Bryan is in the team. So far, i have been playing basketball quite frequently,last week i played 4 times in that week! Last Last week i think i played three times. Thats all for this week.

Summary of holiday!(NEW BALL)
I wrote this post on june the 24th witch is the second week of the holidays.I played basketball not so oftenly. During the first week,i played with my brother at my house downstairs the court.We played 1v1.The result is very obvious,i won.However i do not feel proud as i can tell that my brother dont really know how to play even though he claim that he was in his primary school basketball team. On the second week of the holiday,when it was monday,i went to buy a brand new basketball.I had always wanted to do that as my old basketball has really not much grip and when i am shooting the hoop i feel that the ball keeps falling out of place.The new basketball that i bought cost a bomb but it is really worth it.I can tell the difference between the old ball and the new 1.The new ball that i bought was bought from AMK Hub,the shop that sells a combinition of addidas and nikey and other sportswear.I really like my new Ball as i can feel that a whole new basketball journey is about to begin with this ball.Thats all.....

Not a bad game after all!
That day was a warm day. I arrived first on that day because the venue was not confirmed the day before. They arrived soon after. I and Boss started playing basketball first as we shot some hoops for practise.After a while we got bored so i,catherine,boss and feng xiang played a game called bullet while sky and ben played tennis. I was amazed by catherine shooting skills as she could at least score 2 shots in 8 shots. After playing around for a while,Sky's friend came.Sky introduced him to us and his name was ong ray. He quickly joined us to play basketball. From his skills,i can tell that he is a experience player. After playing for a while,one guy approached us to ask whether we wanted to played against us in a 3v3 match. I quickly agreeded without thinking too much. We waited for them to finish their game as they say it would end shortly after,but to me,it seemed like eternity. The game started shortly,i boss and ong rey played first. The first score was scored by them.I managed to score 1 shot with boss scoring 3 and ong rey scoring 2. After a while,i did not feel well so i ask sky to substitude me.Sky played well but we still lost with a 3 score difference.I guess i understand why we lost,this is due to our teamwork again as the opponent's teamwork was obviously higher than our's.Thats the end of the post for the week.

MISFORTUNE
To start off with,i would like to say that i am a really unlucky guy. This is because of a incident that happen on 20th may. I was hurt even before i started the match.How did it happen? It happen when one guy approach us to ask wheter we wanted to play basketball with him as his friend. As i and my friends have nothing to lose,we agreed. Before that,i had already find that guy a little fishy as when i and sky and my friends just started playing and warming up,we saw the guy sitting there and doing some warming up alone. It was a rather intersting scene as i can say as he even did some sit ups. Back to the game. When i was doing some stretching before the game start,he and his friend were shooting some hoops using my basketball. Out of a sudden,the guy gav a shot and the ball did not land anywhere near the hoop but rather on my nose! The sudden gush of pain spurred through my nostrills. I could feel blood,and indeed there was. But luckily is was just some external bleeding. Even though that unlucky thing happen to me, i continued with the game after a wash up as i no if i refused their game,it would mean that i do not have sportsmanship. I continued. The game did not turn out as i expected.We were being trashed to a score of 11-0. I and boss tried to score but failed. I can say that their teamwork is very strong and that is the key factor to their victory. I know boss tried his best and he even block some of the enemy's shot. From this experience, i learned that we should trust our team mate when needed as sometimes that might be the key factor to determine the outcome of the game. Im sorry for the late post as i have not been feeling well for the past few days so i was not able to post.

Tiring Day!
Phew,today was a tiring day as i and my classmates went to class from 10am to 12pm and after which we went to play basketball.Firstly i want to thank all my friends who played basketball with me,Thank You. Firstly,we had a match which was 3 against 4. I was in the team of 3 which consist of me,Boss and SX.As predicted,we lost. I cant remeber the score but i remebered i score at least two points. Even though we lost but what matters is the experience.We had Fun and that is what it's all about. I leared that teamwork is important as i tried to dribble the ball past my friends but i failed. I know skill matters alot but teamwork is more important. There is always a first time. From this game,i learned that teamwork is really important because in a battlefield if you are without allies,there is no way you can win the battle. At 4pm we went to play basketball again. This time we were rather tired so we just played around with the basketball to pass time. Thats all for this week's post,hope u have enjoyed reading.
