Saw lotsa my own limitations in todays's game. Although the opponents ain't exactly the chao strong type but somewhat it's quite a difficult game to play throughout.

1. Stamina. It's crap. Hate the way when I started to run into "low batt" mode after a few fast breaks and a few rebounds. My court stamina ain't there.

2. Power and concentration. Guess these 2 factors are directly related to the one above. Lost the focus when I start to "anyhow throw" at the low post, losing to the pressue by the 195. Maybe it's too long since I've met such overwhelming opponent that I forgot how to use my quick release.

3. Fast break. Actually realised that I've travelled at the start of every fast break but I guess it's too fast before anyone noticed. =O Need to overcome that slower dribbling pace of mine.

4. Inner zone shooting. Was crap. Need LOTS LOTS more training. Kinda inconsistant though. Although I did get the feel but somewhat it's not all that smooth yet.

5. Teamwork. Managed to suppress the 195 offensive power when me and boon have to guard him or else it's game over. Haha, used the front pressue and backstab method. Lol. Cool, it works. The overall flow of the team still not there? People around are not moving to cover defense loopholes for one another. Gave the opponent lotsa opportunity. And all I say our offense is...crap. Well, it isn't a team game we're playing but mostly individual skills coz not everyone is willing to move up the court? Maybe it's just a game, that's what they think.

Play to win. Somewhat this is what is going on in my mind during bball sessions. The only way to keep improving in every game is to take it seriously and stretch myself to the max. There ain't really many chances like this for my to gauge my own court stamina and when I should burst and when I should conserve. Practice on some defensive skills as well as offensive tactics. Well, understood how frustrating boon felt too when not all of your teammate thinks the same way but for me, I'll just remind once loh coz I know say already also no use. Sometimes it's not about the physical limitations but the mental limitations one must overcome. Even before starting there's the mindset that "I cannot make it", the I guess there'll be no effort shown loh. When 1 person ain't showing the effort, I guess it really affects the overall morale of the team and more will start to join in the "relax group". I don't know, in the end, perhaps these words will be ear side wind and I'll be "acting pro" again.

*shrugs*

At least I've done my part as a friend and a teammate.
