this morning I played basketball with Ben, Aaron and Weng Hoe.
being the first person to reach there as usual,
I played two matches with uncles.
I had a good time. =)
then later Ben and Aaron joined in so.. 3 vs 3.
both of them were in the same team as uncle Yong and I was in was in the same team with other 2 uncles. =.=
I knew it will be difficult for us to win.
in the end.. yes we lost but only by a small margin. =)

but one thing I quite disliked was..
Ben was very rough as usual
and both of them man marked us like crazy. +.+
well, I know I have no rights to complain.
I used to man mark players like them. ==
but then, I realized that is not the right thing to do in basketball.
many basketball pros don't mark like those two. =.=
that's why what I will do now is..
just stay close to my opponent and raise my hand when he wanna shoot. =/
I seriously hope they will realize this one day..

after that, Weng Hoe came and we played 2 vs 2. (uncles already left)
I purposely wanted to pair with Weng Hoe
and prove to those two that.. we don't have to overdo it to mark a player.
I wanted to try beating their man marking style too. XD
well, we lost badly for the first game. =.=
I didn't mind as both of them had greater stamina
and they man marked us like crazy too. =.=
it was just a practice game anyway. =/
then later, an uncle came to join us so 2 vs 3. (his name is Fai btw)
I told him to join us
because we were exhausted while those two were still energetic.
however, those two looked unhappy. O_o
the result was a thrashing. XD
but they claimed we won because they didn't mark us. =.=
WTF
that remark annoyed me.
not playing at their best because of handicap match?
where is the sportsmanship? O.O
so, Aaron requested for last game.
we pleased him
and then they won with their usual rugby-style of basketball play. =__=

for the whole time, me and Weng Hoe had low possession the ball.
*sighs*
it was getting not fun as the game went on.
after the last match, I requested for a last game
as I seriously didn't enjoy the game much.
however, they already wanted to go home.
WTF
I tried to dribble past Aaron.
it wasn't successful most of the time since he marked me like crazy.
well, I suck at dribbling too. =p
so, I had to pass to Weng Hoe.
however, he was also thoroughly marked by Ben. =.=
can someone tell me how should I continue the game?

if only I'm talented at basketball and have great stamina
then I wouldn't complain so much of opponent's rough play like a girl. >__<
oh well, I have to keep practising.
just need to learn to dribble past Aaron,
overcoming their rugby-style basketball play
and scoring using one hand. =)
by the way, great exercise. =D
at least now I don't have to feel so guilty for eating so much during CNY. XD
