Bball round up and player analysis

Reach home at 12 and immediately rush down to play basketball with akasutki ppl. Duno what held them up, they came back only 11plus.

Today bball was fun but short lived. Some of the ppl where late thus me, rh and jloo played with a stranger. 2v2, I was paired up with stranger...hate partnering with stranger. Cant get to express myself...

the pace was fast, quite surprise that both loo and rh played with commitment...although me and that guy won, but can see loo and rh heart wasnt in the game, they werent commited to defending that guy. As for me, i tot that that guy were selfish always looking to dribble and do nba style lay up. I reckoned if loo and rh were to mark him seriously they could have stop him. Seeing him with his nba style, i decided to played with anelka style minimizing my effort, and play with auto pilot mode. Clearly my auto pilot mode is burdening him lol...

immediately after that game Jloo was down...he complained of dizziness and set out the rest of our akatuski match. I also felt that my legs were heavy. Lesson learned, do not shop for 5 hour before playing ball. I ran out of legs in the 2nd match. Loo was out thus we played 2v3 and i was in the 2 person team together with cw. Wanted 11 points but most of them insisted more thus settle at 15, amazingly me and cw was up 10-2. today was on foam, lucky for me shot after shot just went in, today was really my day, i was so confident tat there is one shot where i immediately shoot the moment i receive the ball totally no chance to block and it went in. then rh came out and take on me... by then i was running out of legs. They played 3 person triangular passing and that took out alot of stamina on me and cw. We force til a 12-12 game before we crumble..
credit to cw, i tot that he improved. Had more stamina and movement, ran quite alot and trying the spin and turn layup. I was quite impress with cw, although he did not score alot, but his work rate and movement off the ball was affording me the space to shoot. Perhaps he had secret training playing bball with his colleague.

The 2nd match, me irving and cw vs aaron and rh. Rh and aaron were all over the place, gave us a tough time but eventually playing with 1 man less, they succumb to defeat. Aaron did everything he could except to put the ball into the hoop. Aaron have all the attribute to be a very good bball player. He really just need the basic. He can jump real high, react and run fast but so frustratingly he just cant dribble and shoot... if we can play weekly, i guess in 2 months time he would quite a good player.

Rh shooting was really aweful yesterday, we all no where is your standard and yesterday really was not your usual standard. Rh is slowly getting where he should be at...playing like a center and making his presence feld. Rh and loo both are of similar height but when playing against rh i felt he is much much bigger. His frame and together with his extended arm, i hardly get a sight of the hoop when i shoot. All the food he ate at least is not wasted. This is just my opinion but i felt with your frame you should concentrate on dominating the “6 yard box” just below the hoop. Anyone who can shoot from range will be good but i feel that powering ball in from close range or doing lay up should be primary and shooting is secondary. One week i felt that u are a shooter and yesterday i felt that u r a center. Somehow i feel that its hindering you from mastering either a center or a shooter. Doing the primary job will make u a good player, able to do the secondary will make you a world class player, but just dun get into a position where by u are alright being a centre and so so at shooting, that is really bad.

Sometime back i thought that most of us were similar type of player but slowly each of us is evolving with our own style. If we were to foam a team the formation would be.

Rh
Jloo CW/Aaron

Irv Sam

Cw, POWER FORWARD, is the kind to cut in,spin turn change angle and lay up.

Strength and weakness: Hard to defence against this kind of lay up but its hard for him to score when doing it also. Will occasionally shoot, but if miss a couple of shot he will not shoot anymore. He will then attempt lay up or cut in and pass. His cut back pass is often by instinct and can be intercepted, need improve on this. Should perfect his lay up and close range shot. Secondary skill will be to mob up rebound and tank, if u do that u wld be a force to be reckon with. While run at full speed to stop his lay up is sucidal, F=MA his M is already close to 100kg, whatever X100= huge, so to stop his lay up, dun allow his space to accelerate.

Jloo, SMALL FORWARD, another who cuts in and shoot, uses ball control and lean backwards or sideways to create space for his lay up or shot. Secondary skill should be able to shoot at longer range will make u devastating.

Strength: excellent ball control hard to steal his ball and accurate while going for lay up. Always know how to shield the ball while laying up making it hard to block. Slightly able to use left hand is a bonus.
Weakness: like to dwell alot on the ball, seldom pass always looking to cut in. Though he have excellent ball control and shields his ball well, his reluctance to pass and insistence to cut in makes him a good target for double team. While defending against him, check your flanks, he is good at cutting into side and lay up, guard against ur flank and force him to cut center and den double team him. He will try to do a lean back shot so u should anticipate it also.


Irving, POINT GUARD, likes to cut in and do a fast lay up, no dribbling fancy stuff, just a simple direct speedy zoom in and score. Likes to shoot from free throw line and occasionally 3pointer.

Strenght: Fast, one our faster player. Hard to steal the ball off him, and if u afford him a slight space, he will attempt to cut you through.
Weakness: dwell on the ball to much, passing is too direct or off target(yesterday night was an example, i had to pick up ur pass at half court line twice or more.) needs to perfect layup, cutting in is not difficult for you but often after u cut in, u miss ur lay up.
Secondary skill will be to b able to up your accuracy in shooting. Often playing against u, i would play deeper cutting off your passing and preventing you from zooming past me but allow u alot space to shoot. I am able to do that because u r not that deadly while shooting if u can shoot better it will be difficult to play against u cos i need to close u down thus allowing u space to zoom past me.

Aaron, POWER FORWARD, still finding his own style but i reckon it will be similar to CW position.

Strength: Fast and agile
Weakness: Need to train alot on basics like dribbling and scoring

Rh, CENTER, still unsure of his position and style i guess.
Strenght: big presence, hard to win rebound off him. Work hard commited. Shooting good defensive work.
Weakness: sometimes dominate some time miss easy shot. Some shot can just totally off.

To stop him u have to prevent him from coming near the basket. Once he is dere e only person to stop him is he himself. Dribbling might not be his forte but IF playing as a center its doesnt really matter that much.

Oh yes not to forget Mr chew one star.Jloo label him as the guy that only knows how to get the ball but not use the ball.

Chew One Star, Point Guard
Strength: Fast(one of the fastest) and very low CG.
Weakness: Like loo say poor at attacking.

I would very much like chew one star in my team because i find him a very supportive player. work hard for the team, run like a mad dog. going for every ball. but with him around, there is always injury.

hope we get to play bball soon...
