Woah Tiny is amazingly and surprisingly on.
Okie, first things first. Are we gonna change the blogskin or keep to it? Since when were we gonna play bball on the 10th and oh great i forgot what else. Tiny I can tell who's posting hahas....unlike you. And please please please dont twit your language so much its so hard to read!!!!! Which is pretty saddening after all...
To sum up what Tiny said, even though there isnt much summing to do, there are a few things you shouldnt do for monday's game.
1. Do NOT solo unless you are fairly certain you can make the shot
This basically means that if someone is defending you, pass the ball. Do not attempt to dribble from one end of the court to the other all by yourself. If you can, pass the ball down towards the end of the court, especially if your team mate is free and you have a defender sticking with you. This allows you to conserve your energy as you dont have to dribble all the way down. Make your pass fast and quick, and do not dilly dally because this gives your opponent time to run down for defense. This way, it allows your team mates to have a clear shot at the basket and a better chance at scoring.
2. Do NOT waste shots (i.e. do not shoot when someone is standing right in front of you
One of the most basic things. If someone is standing right in front of you, you do not shoot, because you will be gai4, especially since the teachers can jump high. Only make the shot if it is a clear shot. If not, pass the ball. We have the advantage of having more people, so definitely not everyone will have a defender sticking to them. Your team mates work hard at rebounding and intercepting the balls; do not waste shots as this will let their efforts go to waste.
3. Do NOT thunder pass
Okay, this is a mistake even I continue to make. Only thunder if there are no defenders who can jump higher than you around, and thunder only if you know your team mate will be able to catch it. As all the teachers' vertical jump are higher than ours, try not to thunder if they are around.
Okay, cant think of much else, but we should probably ask Jaye to post. Oh yes, one thing that Jaye and I were discussing during cca on friday was tactics. That'll we need jaye to explain, but basically, friday's game was really lousy because all of us were extremely off form. Only Jia En played well, and yes, I agree with tiny and jaye that someone has to help Jia En. On Friday's game there were about two or three teachers attacking, which means Jia En alone had to defend the two or three of them. What i'm saying is that someone should stay behind and help defend, instead of everyone running to attack or running up and down the court. Jaye and jia can play either attack or defense, but they cant do both because even if they are running up and down the court, they wont have the energy to make it back in time to defend, especially since the teachers keep on thundering. Basically, this means that Jia En alone is STILL the only person on defense. Jia's defense is good, but then on Friday the people who were playing attack were wasting balls, so she had to run back and forth and up and down and upside down. Which resulted in her banging into people and getting a mild concussion. -.o
Okay, so if you want your mistakes pointed out go find Jaye or something. But roughly all i know is that-
1. Jean- do not solo and do not waste shots. Do not keep your eyes on the ball all the time because this way you will not be able to see where you are going and often you run straight into your defenders. Try to pass, because even when you have one or two defenders sticking to you you still try to dribble down the court and lose the ball. Do not force your shots i.e. do not shoot when you have someone standing right in front of you, especially if they're taller. You know how to layup, (YAY! XD) so try to use it instead if possible. If all fails, pass.
2. Sarah- dont remember much....but i think you were probably playing midfield? Try to stay on either court though, like either play attack or defense, cuz people playing attacker or defender can just run halfway and all. If you're playing attack, try so shoot more, especially since you're usually open. And do not do not pass to someone who has a defender sticking with them!! Confidence gal, kae? Haha just remember to jiayou!
3. Tweety- YOU DIDNT EVEN COME *GLARES* hahas.
4. Tessa- Awesome passing.. try not to force your shots when someone tall is standing over you, so dont shoot. You should lian on your passing... harder, faster..then it'll be good! Try not to use too much strength when you're shooting, and AIM before you shoot kae?
5. Veeny- Good job ah bean! Can tell that you WANT the ball, which is very very important, because if you WANT the ball, you will GET the ball. Very good defense and interceptions hahas. You were mostly intercepting on friday i think? Try defending or attacking..... like i know you dont like lay ups -__- but you said you liked three pointers so if you have time try to lian on it and get tiny to teach you or something.
6. Carissa- Dont remember much....try to run more.. dont use so much strength like tessa and jean and try to aim. You're tall, JUMP!!!!!!!
7. Jia En- AWESOME job....like you were damn on form compared to t he rest of us. Like you were defending so many people at the same time!!! I think you can intercept thunders haha.....so jiayou and catch it from mr lim and teachers!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay. 7 dwarves finished, in order from shortest to tallest XD
Okay, I have successfully concluded on what NOT to do, now its jaye's turned to tell us what we should be doing instead.
