Batam Basketball League

Batam Basketball League 2014 begins. The annual games for all basketball club in batam island. Our first match was yesterday, sunday evening (May 5th). For the record, I am a member of Banas -- one of basketball club in batam. Our opponent in first match was Boomerz.

It was a hot night, the temperature was so hot. Moreover, members of both teams know each other. It raises the sense of competitiveness. Their defence was so tight, they has got so much energy. Vice versa, we seems to be so tired. Maybe it because we dont have enough conditioning before the match. As the result is their team penetrated our defence easily. Luckly we have a good coach, Lolo. His decision helps us to organize our both our defense and offense.

In first quarter, the score was tied. I think both of teams were nervous. We had our first time out after we had left 6-0 in the first 2 minutes. If im not mistaken, i scored 4 points in this quarter. The second quarter we played well. But in the third quarter, we were tired, so many turnover was done, I believe this was our worst quarter of the game. In quarter 4, we played well but they played better. The final score was 49-29. I scored 13 points, 7 points in the first half, 6 points in the second half.
