Battle Of Basketball
Hey people.
Went to play basketball yesterday.
CYY, OWZ, Bobo, Wei Liang, Andrew (Lee), JS, You Xin and me to be precise.
Played okay in a team yesterday, managed to shoot in a couple.
But the highlight of my day was when I played 1v1 with Jun Sheng.
I won! 2 to 1!
The entire affair lasted for an hour and really sapped me of my energy.
Had very little left to spare by the end…
My stamina’s not as good as before, but I managed to use it to wage a battle of attrition, but not to much success…
My victory was due more in part to Jun Sheng’s horrendous shooting than skill on my part.
If it were anyone apart from Jun Sheng, maybe Xie Nan Zheng or Bobo, 10 minutes would have been enough to crush me, much less an hour.
But I managed to restrict and almost match OJS blow for blow by marking him tightly and I’m proud of that (I don’t really have much else to be proud of).
Hope I can take on CK and maybe HZ next.
Then if I win, which is unlikely, I will know that I’m the best of the worse!
Which is nothing to be proud of, but still, it seems like an accomplishment to someone who only started playing basketball this year…
Oh, after that, there was an incident.
Jun Sheng tried to shoot a three pointer. He missed of course. Then his airball almost hit a lady and her kid (the basketball ended up in the patch of grass near the construction site).
While we were busy apologizing, this lady’s wacked husband kicked our ball into the construction site, flipped his long, greasy hair, and glared at us. For a lack of a better term, his face was damn “qian bian”…
Then he just walked off…
CYY was pissed and wanted to confront him, but we (YX and I) stopped him in time.
Then while we were trying to get our ball back, this insane monkey man actually came back and made another round!
Don’t know why he did that, but I can tell you most honestly I was itching for a confrontation at that point in time.
Three reasons why that barbaric savage had no right to do that:
1) We were playing in a designated area
2) We apologized to his wife (presumably)
3) He was an adult! Why on Earth was he acting so immaturely?! Especially since he was dealing with a bunch of kids/teenagers??
I can understand that guy’s anger at his wife and kid’s (Again this is an assumption on my part) near accident, but the way he acted was completely unjustified and only displayed his complete immaturity and utter lack of restraint and social graces.
I mean even we, the “kids” in this situation handled it with a greater level of sophistication and maturity than that hot-headed baboon.
Ah well. Life is like a fruit cake, there will always be a couple of nuts.
Anyway, that was my day yesterday, going to play basketball again today, ciao.
