Ceritera Jersey..Jersey ohh Jersey



*Summit*
Pas balik kerja, dok lepak makan pisang goreng Subang Perdana..(that's for my dinner)..
Lepas makan dah tatau nak gi mana..so, suggest laa kat Mr.Ed untuk gi Summit.
Aku nih tak pernah lagi jejak kaki kat sana & aku dapat tau ada kedai jual Molten kat sana..
So, nak usya2 jelaa..terniat di hati nak memiliki bola baru..tapi, apakan daya, jatuh bankrup..
*bilerlaa claim nak masuk nih..sigh..*


Sampai kat sana, jumpalaa kedai jual barang2 basketball tuh..
Heppinyer masuk kedai uh..kenapalaa tatau wujud kedai uh before nih...
And macam2 info pasal NCBL dapat korek dari org kedai uh..sangat peramah dia..A good salesperson..
*Thanks sebab layan baekk punye!*
pastuh, dia cerite,  kedai uh byk wat jersey untuk2 team NCBL..siap tunjuk lagi plastik2 beg yang penuh ngan jersey..dahlaa design lawa, kaen pon baeeeekkk punye..sgt tertarik laa hati nih..
Adalaa jugak dia tunujk design 1 team tuh.SMART!!.

Selepas pusing2 kedai, n beli laa suar sehelai, kitorang pon keluar laa dgn macam2 risalah aku bawak kuar.
Pastuh Mr.Ed saje2 jelaa call Mr.Fendi kuasa kuda tanya pasal jersey.
Rupenye, tak order pon lagi jersey uh..


*harinih da khamis malam..ada lagi 2hari nak tempah jersey nih..tauke uh pon tatau nak terima lagi ke tak..*


So, cut the story short, kami amek Fendi kat USJ time uh jugak, then berlari2 ayam laa kat dalam Summit nak gi cek kedai jersey laen..kebanyakannye da tutup. isk2..kedai kawan Fendi pon da tutup.
*dahlaa aku berlari ngan bawak beg laptop yang berat sebab design+info NEXT dalam uh.penat&lenguh bahu nih*
 kecewanye.........


Tapi, sempat gaklaa masuk kedai HOOPS tuh yang da tutup pon pintu kaca..
And bernaseb baek, dia terima gak last minute order..
Special treatment katanye.Perghh..punyerlaa lega hati nih..
TERIMA KASIH!!!!!..Tak rugi borak2 mesra dgn dia sebelum tuh..huhu..

P/s: tapi tak confirm lagi laa..kedai  nak tutup da.
Dia suh datang esok bawak size+number+name.Nanti esok cerita..


*Note to NEXT player*
1. Jersey tak confirm kaler ape..mana yang ada stock, itu yang kita amek.
2. Esok baru nak confirmkan balik design&order.
3. Saper free nak mengular ke Summit lepas Jumaat, blh laa call Fendi@Anan. Derang nak gi sana nanti.
4. Malam Sabtu, before training baru amek jersey.
5. Confirmkan balik player yang nak gi opening,kay?
6. Saper yang nak breakfast nanti, bitau..kalau tak, aku wat utk Anan+Aman je.

Sekian...
*Pasnih, belanja aku bola Molten satu*

Preparation for NCBL.



NCBL tinggal beberapa hari je lagi.
Aku pulak yang rasa berdegup  berdebar. Budget macam aku pulak yang maen.
Huhu..Minggu nih sangat memenatkan dan hari nih genap laa (*jap, kire jap..sabtu,  ahad, isnin, selasa, rabu, khamis ,..) 6 hari aku tak maen basketball..pegang bola pon 2saat je..sdey..
dengan kondisi bola yang tak mengizinkan untuk dipantul balik.(pancit), dan cuaca yang tak menyebelahi diri, mmg satu kombinasi yang sangat perfect untuk menggemukkan balik diri aku nih..*SIGH*


Hari Ahad, game dijadualkan pada pukul 11.00 menentang BW(pemanas kerusi@benchwarmers).
Macam mana laa agaknye situasi game tuh nanti. Menang tak?..Kalau menang, dgn berapa point?, kalau kalah, adakah akan men"down"kan budak2 nih..haih.


Dahlaa takde jersey    lagi..

Mungkinkah NEXT bertanding memakai pagoda ?

How to Build Stamina for Basketball

Especially to my beloved Team, NEXT

I found this interesting webpage on how to build up your stamina.
(Credits to http://www.ehow.com/how_4830064_build-stamina-basketball.html )
So, kindly please see below for your perusal..huhu..
"Other than in high school, a regular game of basketball lasts no less than 40 minutes. In this 40-minute time frame, there is a lot of running, jogging, sprinting, jumping and picking yourself up off the floor. Not to mention that you are also constantly jockeying for position around the hoop and in the paint. Not only is it a good idea to build up stamina for this grueling game, but it is all but mandatory.

1.Increase your aerobic capacity. At the heart of all physical activity is aerobic capacity. To increase it, perform long duration, repetitive movements such as jogging, cycling, kickboxing, stair stepping, rowing or training on an elliptical machine.

    

2.Do sprint training. This is sport-specific and it will increase your anaerobic capacity. Do a 5- to 10-minute warm-up, which can be a light jog. Then do a series of sprints separated by rest periods. Whatever the length of the sprint is, double the rest period. For example, if you do 30-second sprints, take 60-second rests.


3.Do interval training. Interval training translates into the game of basketball at times when there is fast running mixed in with jogging. Perform interval training the same way. After a 5- to 10-minute warm-up, increase your speed to a fast pace for a given time, then bring your speed back to jogging again. An example of a time interval would be run hard for 1 minute and jog for 2.

4.Do some body weight exercises. This will help to increase your muscle endurance, which also helps build stamina. Some examples of exercises include pull-ups, push-ups, crunches, leg raises, squats and lunges. Do these exercises with high rep ranges. Aim for a minimum of 15 reps.

  and  

5.Commit to suicides. Suicides are very intense runs on the court. Start at the base line, run to the foul line, touch the floor and run back. Then run to the half-court line, touch the floor and run back. Then go to the other foul line, touch the floor and come back. Finally, run coast-to-coast, touch the other base line and come back.

6.Do some plyometric training. This type of training is characterized by fast, repetitive, explosive movements. Perform exercises such as box jumps, leaping lunges, jumping jacks, stair hops and jumping rope. Jumping rope will not only increase your stamina, but it will also work your calves, shoulders and core. As an added benefit, this type of work can also increase your leaping ability
 


and thats how to improve your stamina..hope this will helps. Other than that, breathe slowly during the exercise. Good Luck guys!

Friendly match in Sri Garden Part II

Friendly game review

I believe Mr. Manager of NEXT team will summarize the full review of the game today. So, I don’t need to do it again.hehe.
As an unofficial spectator, I think it is quite an interesting game. They played 4 games yesterday. (game sampai 21points I think)
Both team had a good game last night although the court is lengthy (international school kan?.sure kaki student panjang2..huhu).

First two games are a bit relax and ARCHERS is leading whilst NEXT is still trying to coordinate. ( NEXT tak sempat warm up pon. They came in late due to heavy raining and traffic jammed..Archers da warm up sejam setengah before that. So, by the time NEXT abes warm up, ARCHERS da maen lebey 2 jam da..tuh sebab penat kot..huhu)

In the third game, NEXT get the FEEL and starts to strike back. They keep a close gap between the points.
And in the last games, NEXT is leading in early stage and ARCHERS starts to play more serious.
(Things get rough and intense until that pak guard interrupts..huhu..”Masa dah habis..sepatutnya sampai kul10 je”  Alaaaa, they played until 11pm je..Chill laa bro..=P )
Yet, ARCHERS didn’t give a chance to NEXT and managed to end the games with 21-19.

But, as a new team, it is a good games guys!!.. Takde laa kene tapau abes2 pon..=D

GOOD JOB!!

p/s:**full report will be posted by NEXT manager**

Improvements

I think there are some area NEXT needs to improve. Coach has been telling the same things too.
So, I’ll just summarize things for improvement

  1. Communication – Kene rajin2 mintak bola, always reminds your team to hands up, remind them on strategies & all.
Teammate who’s sitting at the bench can also remind the player. As I said last night, you guys have to hang out and play the balls together more often. =D
But, dun forget to invite me, the “pengkritik tetap @ penjaga barang korang”..huhu
  1. Hands up during defences – Kene rajen2 hands up pasnih..who know luck is on your side and u blocked the ballz,kan? =)
  2. Passing – Needs a lots of training to get a sharp and accurate passing..Coach, bolehlaa train passing+rebound after this. Coach da mahir da..I think you guys have to get 1 official balls to familiarize with the grip.
 ( Lagu “If I were a billionaire” terngiang2..If I were a billionaire, I will sponsored the balls..haih..have to put it on my wish list..huhu)
  1. Rebounds –Have to be fully aware on rebounds. You will never know your lucks. It is not a guarantee that its always a clean shoot. So, prepare je for rebounds. Bak kata coach. “Rebounds2!,” **ngeee**
  2. Stamina – Words speaks for itself..huhuhu…no need for elaboration.
So, ape lagi..game ar malam nih..hehehe..
