Jloo had his retribution last night for lashing out at yixing verbally. Jloo said that yixing only knows how to get the ball from the opponent and do not know how to put the ball in the net. He was prove so wrong...

totalling the points yixing scored yesterday, it could easily be twice of his usual standard. Shots and lay up just keep going in for him. Jloo was utterly humiliated...put to shame by some1 half his height.

Credit to jloo for playing through the pain barrier. He had a cut on his right foot yet he still can make it for the match.

I had a challenge last night and an obstacle last night. My challenge is to pair up with irving and find a style that suit both of us.

I must say this, for quite sometime i didnt wanted to team up with irving. Not becos he is lousy or anything. Just that his style and my style kinda crash with 1 another. Just like lampard and gerrard haha. So i told jloo my challenge would be to team up with irving and develop some partnership.

Amazingly 3 out 3 match, he is in my team. The 1st match we lost. Dun quite understand why we lost, we just cant seem to click as a team, Loo irv and me. Rh aaron and yixing was defending very well and we had no rebound to speak of.

The 2nd match was a gone case b4 it started. I was team up with Yixing and Irving. Wah damn cool I was the tallest. YEAH~! Irving said that we had to score with every single shot, cos there is no way we can get the rebound. He was half right though. We score when we had chance but we manage to get a few rebound also. This match is very exciting. The score was 8-0, i score straight 8 points b4 they equalised at 10-10. they even go ahead at 10-12. We were playing neck by neck in this match with rh loo and aaron scoring easy shots. Yixing then took over the scoring reign to hit 18-14.

At this point of time rh decide to go on a solo mission, a 2 pointer followed by another 3 pointer. The score now stands 18-19. Just a few mins ago we seem on course to win, in bball a string of shot can change things real fast. At 18-19 no doubt we are breathing heavily. Its no easy to go against a team with 3 person who's height each is twice of my 2 team mate adds up.

Our tactic were very simple but effective. Every rebound that came down we just tap the ball, there were time where we would tap the ball away from our own team mate but that doesnt matter. We cant leave it to chance. If any 1 of aaron rh or loo had the ball under e net, we wouldnt be able to defend.
The other tactic is we didnt stop moving, we kept running at them and my team really had alot of movement. With movement came space, irving punish them with a solo 2 point lay up. With the score at 20-19, who has e ball will have the mental edge. I told irv and yixing to kept running at them, i know we do not have stamina any more but if we stop their height advantage would edge us. In the end some 1 shoot, i cant rem who but the ball fell to jloo, and for some reason he dodge it. The ball hit jloo's back and irving had e simple task of putting it back in.

final score 22-19. there wasnt much different between us. Perhaps we won be cos jloo team have some ocassional lapse of defending gifting us a few points.

The 3rd match was with outsiders, so no comments and nothing much to comment. Haha

4th match ended halfway with Rh injury. He landed and step on my leg while i was running away thus he lost he footing. A very unfortunate accident. Let us all wish he recover well.

Players review:

Jloo, despite being a crippled, he was able to do damage with his trademark lay up. His injury didnt affect his performance much, but rebound wise he wasnt able to jump too much.

Moment of brilliance, he was double team by me and irving, with us going hard at him, he dance tru us and turn on IRVING's side for a lay up.

Moment of dumbness, rh was injured on the floor with us all being concerned, jloo walk over and ask rh where is his toe...that a very single-celledness question...

Chew One Star, prove jloo wrong with his scoring prowness. Mark his player well and run like a mad dog.

Moment of brilliance, 3 consecutive scoring streak 1 shot 2 lay up which condemn me and and irv defeat of 1st match.

Moment of unsportingness, aaron was hit by a bball and instead of giving aaron a breather, he went in for a steal on the ball.

Aaron, improve from the previous session, Position was better, always in scoring position and open position where we can pass the ball to him. Hit a couple of good shots. As said earlier with practice, he would be a good player soon.

Moment of brilliance, a fast break to him with a pass, he gone on a jump shot slice the board and into the net.

Moment of Dreaming, during a fast break i intended to do a 1st time pass to him only to call out his name and see him walking away haha

Irving, definitely more like e 1 i know in the past, willingness to run and go for the ball. Accuracy of lay up improved. So did his passing and rebound. Though distinctly short but he make up his shortness by distracting and irritating the taller ppl under the net. Constantly tapping the ball away even from his team mate.

Moment of brilliance, with the defence drawn out by me and yixing, irving run in the open side with a deft and swift lay up.

Moment of Shortness, was so obesessed with being short that he had to tap the ball away from yixing(opponent for this match). I had to walk over and remind him that he is taller than yixing

Rh, the rh i saw yesterday was definitely a shooter. Sharp shooting. Last post i comment that ur shooting off totally off, today its was razor sharp. This is e obstacle i was talking about, yesterday was personal btw me and rh. Man for man he always takes on me. Once again i was shut out not scoring alot yesterday, i would attibute this to his defending and constant pressing.

Moment of brilliance, A quick 2 pts and a sharp 3 pointer almost seal a victory.
Moment of slackness, for once i saw tat his not committed in the 3rd match against the outsiders.
