Woodland Ring Vs New Town
43:44
WE had a tough fight with woodland ring today.
Our first 2 qtr are very tough... some how our ball can't get into the rim!!!! it is so annoying! time after time the play is great, the shot is made but the ball will circle the rim then drop out of it!! Even when we use the board, somehow the board will reflect the ball away from the rim!!!! As if the rim is cursed.... sigh...
Our poor subhas was putting his strong front to play. His left hand is so swollen that he can't hold a ball properly!
BUt for the team!!! HE bravely play on, without complain. At a few critical movement, he stretched his hands to catch the hand and pass it out strategically, without mistake, just where it should be for the play. Other than a short while whereby coach let him rest, he played the full 40 mins (with the swollen paw!!!).
All these while, his mummy was very supportive but very worried for him as well...
Shuan Wong: You ought to be there to cheer him!!!
WE did not give up... WE fought hard... n chase afer every points we can make....
Finally at 4th qtr, 3 min 20thh second, Weng Siang put in 2 penalty shots and we draw!!!!
34:34
From there, we played on bravely and our morale is high! WE scored and widening the margin. Woodland ring fought back as well... but time is running out..... at in last 60 sec of the game, Woodland ring's possession, their controller tried to waste time by not passing just dribbling. our Coach gave instruction to let go dun foul let him be.... our players did that even though they want that ball very badly! for 40 sec they did that n then coach gave a instruction to disturb their ball n weng siang n darren did as told.... then they took a shot n missed!!!! Our player took the ball n fast break back but we did nto managed to score. Woodland ring took the ball back tried to do a layup but time's up!!! WE were overjoyed n cheered!!! but it was only for 2 seconds! bec referee blow a foul against us!! n they got 2 shots!!! we were all dead silent.... the boy put in the first ball.... we were preparing for overtime....... n we held our breathe when he did the second... the ball touch the board n the rim then............. OUT!!
Phew!!! We Won!!!!! We WON!!! despite that we did not play with our best conditions !!!! We make it to NAtional TOP 8!!!! Praise GOD!!!
WEll DONE BOYS!!!
*My heart empthaised with the boy who failed to put in the second penalty shot...
it is a painful price to pay... *
