Take note that I was not there until the last match. So if you've got more stuff to contribute, please tag and I will add your point =D

Singapore Polytechnic Friendly Matches
学んだこと(mananda koto-- things learnt)

1. Once a teammate is attempting to shoot, the rest of the teammates must prepare to rush back to zone!
2. Change of possession--> just ONE player stay to chase for ball. Rest of the players must go back quickly to zone (Hao rushed back to keep today but the zone seemed undefined/non-existent)
3. Above 2 points mentioned: to prevent fastbreak situations. Two kinds of fastbreak situations: 1. When opponent dribbles ball towards zone. 2. When opponent sprints to zone and anticipates a pass from teammate.
4. For #1: Nearest player rush back, try to catch up. Keep jostling him, get beside him and handtackle. Rest of the teammates must rush back already as well! Turn your boat and go back. Do not BACKPADDLE: less easy for you to become as fast as attacker, even less easy for you to stop him or whatever you want to do. -.-
5. #2: Come back to zone QUICKLY. Before the long pass between attackers takes place. By placing ourselves between the attackers they can pass less easily. Quickly go back to form defence formation.
6. It doesn't really matter if there is a player who is open inside the zone as long as you know he really cannot cannot cannot recieve any pass from his teammates. This kind of opponent no need to care :D if he can't get out himself it's his own problem. Then they'll have one man down le. (that's why after we know we are doing nothing inside, must get out immediately to support teammates who will drive in) but can't intentionally trap him i think...? (will someone please verify this)
7. Know very well beforehand who to pass to so you can pass early
8. Passing early: Don't spend too much time pondering/contemplating about who to pass to. This lures the opponents towards you and it will be very easy for him to use his paddle to block your passes then unless you throw at a really really steep angle(not easy)

Lots and lots more points to take note, but this shall suffice for today. The rest: maybe later or tomorrow. hahaha.

Boys, have a good rest. Drink more soyabean :D You look cool in rashguards!

But you still have to pass up your indemnity forms to me okay. :@
