Can the players get any readier for Dalat League (not implying they are ready... it's just a negative statement in positive light)? One week left now, to brush up on their skills and fitness before showtime.
This week in training Mr. Jason's drills were more on the physical side, coming back off perpetual comments of training being not 'tiring enough'. Yet thanks to the attendance (15 again), the players' lack of fitness (with exception to a few) was not really exposed. Training being cancelled last week, the players returned to the court, perhaps a little less fit and skills a little blunt.
Still, training got a fresh makeover with Mr. Jason reconstructing most of the drills to up the challenge levels. Starting out with... Snakes (duh), training went on and on and then to the last drill, being a new one: termed "(what was it? uh...) Fake War"... or something like that. Here the players would utilise the whole court; half a section being the 'waiting area' where the players did ball control, the other half being the 'pressure cooker' zone, something similar to Prison Break, one section being the passing zone and the other being the 'pass-sprint-sprint-receive the ball-shoot' zone.
The game started, and just like last training, the two entrances to the court were used as sub-areas. Play went on quite smoothly, SanJeevan and Kuan Yang providing a few moments of brilliance: one firing off some rocket shots into the goals (albeit keeperless, take nothing away from his skill) and the other waltzing past two players (Jason and Steven!) and effortlessly lifting the ball into the net.
Later on during team talk the players revealed what their goals were, and how this week's training felt. Most admitted it was more tiring than usual, though Pei Li commented that she could still play, to which Mr. Jason replied: "Then I haven't achieved my goal." Jokes aside, Mr. Jason was either in a very good mood during training or had made it a resolution to be nice.
Well! One can only hope and pray that the players are ready.
