Yesterday i played our team's second game in our baranggay basketball league. Before we play the game, i was full of confidence that we can pull that one off even if we are facing a team with 2-0 standing, the team with the best record so far in the league. One important note is that they beat the team whom we lost during our first game. But given this informations i did not lose hope. And so the game began. We finished the first quarter with a considerably large 5 point lead. This boosted my confidence. We had a not-so-good second quarter because our main man was sub out. But we managed to get back in a game trailing by 3. Then everyone confronted us saying that we can beat them. We had the worst performance ever, as far as i'm concerned, during the third quarter. It was a very slumpy quarter for us. We commit petty turnovers like three second violations and travelling. Everything snapped from there. We manage to close the gap to 12 points during the fourth quarter. But exhaustion buried us alive. It is so freaking frustrating. You played at your best yet your team didn't win. Below is the list of possible reasons why we lose.
1. We DON'T have a GOOD COACH - we have a coach but what he only did is to rotate the players. He didn't even bother to call timeouts when the opposing team had a run. He didn't give instructions on defense and offense. The game metamorphose into a street practice game.
2. Our freaking lineup sucks! It is the worst lineup i've ever seen in my entire life. The first five are the only ones who delivered. When one of us was sub out the corresponding position will be emptied. There would be replacements yes but let us face it, the replacements are not good enough.
3. The opposing team is GODLIKE. They have a very deep lineup. Everyone can play any positions. They don't have an ace player. THEY ARE ALL ACE PLAYERS. This is why shuffle type league is bad. There is a chance that all superstars are in one team.
4. The referee won't call it right. Although it is a little bit cliche in Philippine culture, but as far as i know it really happens. I mean there are so many instances that one of our opponent rolled on his back and the referee didn't call a travelling. Once, i was clearly hacked yet there was no foul called.
Oh man. I'll just study polar coordinates and parametric equations to forget this nightmare. I hope that we can play as a team next time. Yep. There is still hope in me.
