.|.our weakest link....|.

We played against one of the strongest team in West Zone today...
We lost.
57:58

where should I start...

by 3rd min in first Qtr, JSS had foul trouble... it was like a gift to us. We tried to utilise it to our advantage but was only managed to have a lead of 3 points. In 2nd qtr, we fought hard and well...but we lost 1 point lead. 3rd qtr... we focused on defence and managed to lead 6 points.however in 4th qtr...our defense were slower than JSS... they have many easy baskets... the turning point happened with JSS 7 put in a 3pointers and we lost the lead... 53:54. after that our cap n vice cap did their best to score but was still 1 point short...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our regret was to misplace our trust... n our weakest link was still not ready for the season... he is still undecided... after the few months preparations... all the mornings we spent.. all the breakfast i tried to match his preferences... all the afternoon matches we had.. n evening sessions...all the sweats n pain.. n blood shed... the time we went through the whole holiday.. after his "jiang zhen de"... after setting our goals and SOPs.. just a few weeks in school he lost it all... piece by piece...week 1 was running around in school pretend to look for teachers... week 2 was refuse to cut hair.. week 3 was siaming LJ then make up during training day.. week 4 is ear stick... tampered pants.. he could not make a stand... he allowed other classmates with nothing to lose.. no dreams no goals no future in mind.. no talents... no potential to influence him... sigh... so much for commitment to the team... he can't even commit to our team's goals n SOP.. so much for character... he can't even live out the sportsmanship to face challenge n be a role model n shout to the world n prove it NT student can do it(just as the team believed in him that he can n he did show us he can in the holidays, jus when i tot i have a legacy maker in the team)! So much for concentration... he can't even raise his hand to do a proper defense for he fear of being injuried when girls can do it much better than him with better timing and posture... he dun even dare to touch ball when he is near side line for fear of being out... he fears... he wasting his energy on things that is not constuctive... playing hide and seek with teachers and their advice... he waste his time fearing foul end up fouls out still bec of his hestiant.. his undecisiveness... unability to go all out with us... he wasted our time n effort... wastes coach's care n love for him... who is so ever patience n care in nurturing him.. who believe he can when no one even though he could... who gave him opportunities that many better players dun have.. in the end... he is still undecided... selfish and still wondering what he wants... the big I in the team...
If he will wakes up tomolo.. decided for himself what he wants...
We will be better than gold! we will be tougher than today... focus... faithful to our mission... fearless...
