Last game, we were terrible with defending outpost, we let them score twice as fast as we scored. So this time it was about reading the defense and he was giving points of defense on the face. He said there were 7 mistakes and we are correcting them now, right now!
- We never came down the lane- When the pass was interrupted we never came down the lane and the reason: you were tired.
- No rebounds- I was not jumping up on the board no matter what happened. I tried everything, my legs won't jump after the 2nd quarter. Reason- No stamina.
- Fouling- It was the most shameful thing our entire team decided to do. We were not on the mark of stamina and we decided to take the ball to the free-throw line.
- We left 2 men open- the free throw line effect: we started getting near the ball more only the confusion was who was going to take the foul so at a time 3 players from our team got fouled.
- Crowding- Coach said, when Ball hunters charged towards the nets, everyone even the baseline players were neat the hoop- why? This was something that even I didn't observe, Steph and I was near the hoop when Ball hunters were in the paint. This was a good trick to get them to stop the dunk and drive however, it left the man on the corners open for a 3 point shot.
- We never intercepted the passes- part of the sloppy defense was we relied too much on the offense so we left the defense open. Hence, this overconfidence cost us 52 shots of mine and George.
- We were again purely running with nothing in mind, just going up thereby missing the basket; coming down we were giving baskets.
This was done in 15 minutes and Coach said today we work on defense tomorrow on offense and more defense. As the next game is against range shooters, they are going to shoot from the arc. I came home got changed, dinner and to the common court, I went.
49 days left for the league title.
Life Lesson- There is always more than 1 mistake. Always.
