2023年12月2日星期六,温尼伯CAIS锦标赛. Not only was that the last basketball game your Spartans played before this past Thursday’s RSEQ trip to Le Boise in Victoriaville; that was also the last day the whole team even practiced together. Immediately upon their return from CAIS, our Grade 12s started preparing for exams, i.e. 没有运动,只是学习.
Which means our four Grade 12s didn’t touch a basketball for 五个半星期(!) before the two practices we squeezed in before this Boise game.
Even our non-Grade 12s have been completely off since December 19, i.e. 三周前. 意思是连续21天吃火鸡, 火腿, 土豆, 馅料和甜点, 通过完全不运动来平衡.
为什么上面总结? 因为,天啊天啊,我们走形了.
On Thursday, it took us about 4 minutes of game time to look tired. 到了第二节,我们不再快攻了. Despite taking 10 minutes at halftime, we came out in the third quarter just as tired, just as slow. 没有进攻篮板,没有50/50的胜利. 我们的对手看起来又快又干脆, while we were breathing heavily and running in quicksand on our way to a desultory 33-24 loss.
也有一些亮点. 海莉沃尔夫 玩了一个聪明的游戏, 保持球队进攻的组织性, 防守端和界外球. Majo加尔萨 provided a late spark with a three-pointer followed immediately by a steal. 和 最佳球员 瓦莱丽•林 防守端是破坏性的电锯吗, playing with speed and Lin-tensity and deflecting a Lin-sane amount of passes.
That said, we know what our New Year’s resolution is for the next little while – FITNESS. 如果你不适合,策略就毫无意义. X’s and O’s can’t help you if you can’t sprint up and down the court and play with speed and power. 如果你不在状态,你很快就会感到疲劳. 当你累的时候,你会变得迟钝和虚弱. 当你又慢又弱的时候,你很难做到最好. 和 if you can’t give your best, the simple things seem hard and the hard things seem impossible.
The good news is we only have to look back five and a half weeks, to that great game we played vs LCC in the CAIS semi-final to see what we’re capable of. 我们知道我们有多努力,我们能踢得多好. We just need to get back in shape so we can get back to that.
和 hey, a few ‘intermission’ suicides never really hurt anybody!
