jeremy lim is gonna look like a zombie tml. i'm so tired now. went gyming and played bball. will surely have severe muscle ache tml. so look out peeps, u will see a walking zombie in town tml.
met up with jm and ky at 1 plus. jm and i went to gym and ky just sat outside playing psp. can't blame him, after promos need to relax. nth much to say about gym just that we pia, pia and pia-ed. justin came after his exams were over.
now, here comes the interesting part. well, maybe for jm and me. i told myself to give in everything that i have and win a tough match today. first round isn't that much of an importance. just a slack and casual game, jm and i just wanna play bball.
jm and i weren't on the same team. so we just played along. my team was losing at first so i thought i will shot or drive more. didn't worked well as i was missing alot of them. on top of that, jm stole my ball once and foiled one of my lay up attempt. so focused on defense and assisting my teammates. 4 blocks and 1 steal. my hands were like some ball detecting devices today. lol. miracle.
despite those blocks, we were still trailing so i tried to shot more for the second time, showed some effect and won 11-10.
second game. they were playing 3 on 3 league. winner in, loser out. we joined in during the 3rd match. our opponent already won 2 games, so we can presume that they were by far the best team around. jm and i were lacking one player and an idea struck me. this is a chance for the tough match that i want. i told them its ok as i just wanted to play bball. so started game 2.
we scored alot but they lost track of the score. so must restart. by then, i was already damn tired as i scored most of the points and had to defend their center. blocked him alot of times though.
so here comes the official match. i score one point once the game started and they decided to defend me 2 on 1. from the start, i was scoring so they tried to use this method to try and slow me down.
i scored the second point after alot of attempts. and its 2-5 already. we can't stop them totally, we shut down 2 of their players but not the third one. i was still marking their center and gave him 2 more blocks. a center blocked by a guard twice? miracles. my hands sure are crazy today. i told jm that its time to get serious and play real hard.
the 2 on 1 defense is sure tough to break through. managed to break free after they opponent showed a slight gap, but i collided with jm while i was in mid air. of course i fell on all four once again. i don't blame jm for it. i was taking too much time to break free and he was trying his best to rotate and create a gap for me. once i found the gap and broke free, it was bad luck that we were on collision course.
after the fall, i was close to out of breathe. but jm scored 2 points to lift us back into the game. he was being marked by the center and center usually don't go out of the paint during defense. moreover, i was being guarded 2 to 1. so jm was free to shoot from far. good thing he banged down both shots. this gave me some time to have a break and regenerate. i exploded for 2 more points after that. 6-5. we were leading.
but on one scoring attempt, i missed the shot and it became a loose ball, i saved it but passed the ball to the center who were supposed to be marked by me. he had 1 easy point.
6-6. time to get really serious. its no joke liao. they scored and thus has the possesion. jm thought that i needed help with the center and tried to help me mark him. but i pushed jm towards the team's sharp shooter and distracted him. he missed and i got the rebound, passed it to jm and demanded the ball back.
i was so out of breathe now and the 2 players were still on my ass. told myself not to give up after all the effort. i smiled and decided to play a mind game with them. i held the ball in my hands, protecting it and look at both of them. they were so tensed. i kept on holding in that position. jm was signalling to me to try and head in through the right side. the center was trying to push jm away.
then the 2 players got tired and relaxed abit. the center was pushing jm away also. nice chance, burst out suddenly towards the rim. attracted the center and double pump the ball before releasing it.
as i looked at it, the ball jumped twice on the rim and came out. too much strength. shit. i was about to give up and lose the game to them, but i saw something. jm appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the rebound when everyone was still staring at the ball.
i was so stunned, so were the opponents. when they tried to stop him, he was already using the hook shot that i taught and always told him to master. there was hope and the ball went it with such a sweet swiish. 7-6, we won!
kneel down and smiled. then dragged my foot out of the court to where jm was lying flat on the ground. slapped him on the chest and told him that it was a nice work. both of us were so contented with the win.
rest for awhile before playing another game. was all out of strength and decided just to play for fun as we already won the toughest match of the day.
lost 10-11. but it doesn't bother me. was too contented already. left for justin's house to transfer games for ky. slacked at his place for sometime before going to tm to meet up with kwok.
bought dinner and went to the staircase beside delifrance to slack. its really a nice place to relax, talk cock and do spastic things. then split up and went home. walked to kwok house to get the full slam dunk the anime vcd from him.
thats all. tml going to town with ky, jm and maybe justin and kwok. gonna rest, am so tired but contented.
never let anyone tell you that you can't do something in basketball. never.
