6 Champs Again,12 Humiliated.

Word Up basketball fans?As some of ya'll noe it,last week was da week of S.A.F,a short form of Sukan Antara Fakulti,or Inter-Fac for short.& S.A.F for shorter.Anyways,i'm not here to cover up all da sports,& of cuz,as u guez it,i'm here juz to cover my basketball.Yerp.& mostly it'll juz be some & some.

Lets head on to da ladies first.Well,as some  of ya'll noe it,FSR was da defending champ.They won da title a year ago,so I guez some of them thought tat training is not compulsory.Anyways,they passed the test in their group matches where they beat APB wit a large margin,36-0,& they beat FSPU 12-6.

Although they were nearly beaten by FSPU when they were down 3-0 heck scared da hell out of me,but fortunately,they got back their composure,& put up a gud fight.Eventually,they won.

After da draw,da ladies were lucky tat they manage to go through automatically into da quarters sounds familiar rite? & not having to bust their arses in da 2nd round.So,a night's rest,& in da quarters,they met FPM.A faculty from Puncak Perdana they came all da way to Shah Alam? as I heard.

Well,during da time before da quarter-final match started,they were all prepared.Warm ups,they did some warm up shots,free throws,lay ups.But guez wat?They got beaten like first timers or more like someone who doesn't know anything at all by da FPM gals.Imagine this,they were leading 4-0,& tat's it.& later on,they were trailing 4-12.Da heck?

So,after their loss,they had a lil' discussion among themselves.& here's some of it tat they manage to list out:

1) They didn't understand how da defence goes ordered by their coach.

2) They couldn't play wit other teammates or easy to say 'tak ngam / tak leh masok' or they dun ave da connection between them.

3) Coach's mistake.

4) Other player's mistake,not individually.

It's not tat hard to tell.Flava's not saying tat all of them were bad,out of 12 of them,maybe 3 of da players do not realize their own mistake superstar rank I guez.Let us revise shall we?Here are da things tat they should have realized a month ago before whining like a cry baby:

1) When they are called for training,da number of players attented never even reached da number 5.They'll juz ave excuses.Even during Saturday mornings and Thursday nights when they dun ave any classes bugger ain't it?.

2) Let us see,when u are a player in a team,watever ur coach says,u do it.Listen,adapt & perform instead of whining yada yada cuz it's not tat hard.

3) Some coaches can accept criticism,cuz it makes them to become better each & everyday.But when u think tat ur a superstar beyond & above ur teammates' level,tat's why u can't play wit da rest of ur teammates.Think ur better?Go ahead for an individual sports.Cuz as far as i'm concern,basketball is a team sport.

4) Last but not least,da ladies lack of chemistry & trust among themselves.Due to?Easy,refer back to da words I've been repeating over & over again,self-thinking superstar.

Like da title said,12 humiliated.Yup,all of them were.Yet,da boys made it all da way,winning all matches in their group stage,passed da 2nd round due to they were a bit unlucky by da draw tat made them in da 2nd round,into da quarter-finals,semis,& finally,take home da gold & pride.

Why did da boys triumph but da ladies fall to their feet?Easy.Though not all da boys knew each other well,but we play cuz we believe in our teammates.No one proclaims to be da superstar of da team.If i'd say tat da great chemistry among us,it's only between da 6 former UiTM Arau players Panje,Ayie da Grizzly Bear,Geck,Kuya,Dowh & Muz da Panda but yet,they can still snatch da gold back to FSR.

How's tat possible without training?Easy,we play,we believe in each other,we trust each other,& most of all,we listen well to our leader / coach.Tat's not even hard to do.

So,wat's da different between da boys & da ladies' FSR basketball team?Well,communication.Tat's just it.Well,tough luck ladies,ya'll better learn to be a good listener instead of being selfish.Again,it's not a teaser to all,only few of it.Anyways,it was a gud week of basketball & for other sports as well.& let's hope tat it'll still be da same wit more improvement for next year ayte?Til' then,Word Up!!!

p.s. - Not to forget,kudos to our 2 hardworking and cute too managers and their crews too.
