I am now playing in an Inter-Church Basketball League in Vancouver. The team I am playing 本頌 was the champion of last year.
I will update the result frequently here. Also you can go Here to check out the score and standing around the league.
We are the 3rd place for the season 2002!!

we won over 南頌 today for the 3rd place, it wasn't really a tough game. we played quite well in defense, and able to run some offense plays. i have 20 points in the game, 2 three point baskets and some steals for lay up. after our game, was the final game for 慕頌 vs. 協和, it was a really really tight game, and both team play great, it was so incredibly exciting. the 6 '7 guy has some crazy blocks, it was so cool. and their 3 point shots was awesome. anyway, it was so fun and happy when we are all watching the game and chill out. that was the best time through out the day. i mean because we all already finished our game, so we don't have any pressure when we watch the game, so we all get together and have fun, and scream, and cheer... it was all great. so the season is over, i don't know what is gonna happen in the next year, hope may be i can get into a team that has everybody, so we can all chill out and have fun as a team, may be just like the team we played in the tournament. if it really happen, then we will be the best, haha... but it won't happen probably, will see, hehe.

we lost to 慕頌 today in the semi final by 3 points. we suppose have a set up for me to attempt a 3point shot to tie the game in the last 6 seconds, but the ball didn't have a chance to get into my hand, so we lost the game just like this. well, i shoot very poorly today, i don't have any field goal, i just have 6 points, one tip in and other from the free throw line. i think our team was so panic in the beginning, everybody was playing himself only, especially Ar Hong, he tried to do things all by himself every single time, also he tried to challenge the 6'7 guy, wants to draw some fouls, but refs didn't call. so that lead to we lost a lots of points there from the turnover. and i didn't get a lot of chance to shoot too because of these one man shows. so we were 16 points behind at the half. 2nd half we played better, we made some good defense, but we still chasing them within 2 to 4 points the whole 2nd half. so down to the final 6 seconds, and the play didn't work, so we lost. i played very good defense today myself, but may be i am too concentrate on defense, then i lost focus on the shooting. plus they played a man to man defense, and played pretty good, so i didn't get a lot of space to shoot. so we will face 南頌 next game for the 3rd place. and 慕頌 will face 協和 in the final. i really hope 協和 will lose, cause everybody hates this team, mostly because they inch and not friendly and always think themselves are the best, but obviously not. although there is one person really can score, and i think he scores about 40 points in today's semi final vs. 南頌 . so 協和 won and get into final. we cannot lose another game next week, we have to at least get a 3rd place!!

Today we face 高宣 in the playoff game, we won the game by about 20 points. everybody played great today. especially on defense, everyone worked hard and didn't panic. i scored 22 points today, the shooting is awesome, i had 4 three point baskets. even though we just have 7 people today, we still grab the big win. Ar Pin is injured, so he didn't show up today. next we will be facing 慕頌 again in the semi final. cause they won over Ka Nam, it was a really tough battle for them, but they still won the game. so this time, they will be play as full team, Frankie, Alvin (6'7 tall guy), Timmy, Sam, Kevin and more. it's gonna be real tough for us. but as long as we play good defense like today, i think we have the chance to win, just like the last game we won over them. so we gotta win again next week. great defense wins the game guys, keep it up, right UP!!

we had a practice today before the playoff, but i just think this practice is useless. cause everybody just played bad, i really don't know what we are doing. just not like what we used to play, may be everyone just lost their touch and didn't concentrate. i really don't like to play with those teens which they are not players in the team, even though some are 'original' in the team. they don't usually show up on game days, so i don't count them a player. so those people have no contribution in the team come to practice, and play not seriously, which means they are wasting our time and screwing up our practice. which is i really hate and feel really frustrated. we will face 高宣 in the first game of the playoff. which is not a tough team to beat, but we really need to focus cause we already lost to 2 bottom teams in the league. so we cannot lose this again, and got to win them by many points. i really hope we can play good in the playoff. we can really communicate and not do crazy things and fancy stuff or one man show. just play simple and easy. that's the way to win the game. play tough defense guys!!

Basketball tournament is all over now, we got the 2nd but not the champion. we lost to the champion team twice in this tournament. really disappointed, we should have beat them and get the champ. we lost totally 2 games in totally 6 games in this tournament. we played pretty good actually, but for some odd reasons, we just can't beat that team. i also participate in the 3 point shooting contest, i end up got 7 out of 15, and the champion of that contest was 8 out of 15, i lost by one shot, damn... i really got frustrated in this tournament, because of the rules and the refs. they don't have any free throw shot in the game, only if you got foul in, then you get to shoot a FT. other shooting foul, you don't get any FT, which is fuck up rule, it's really not fair and no sense. and the ref, i just can't say anything, all i can say is, he's fucked. well, anyways, it was disappointed after all, but still i enjoy it a lot just looking into our group, we are relax, friendly, and communicated well. we all chill out when we were not in games, and when in games, we got all serious and gave up our all. so it was a very good experience to me, and for other teammates. i am sure if this team play in the church league, we will be undefeated team. right now, i am looking forward to the playoff in the church league, got to get the champion this time.

we just have regular practice today like usual. nothing much special, just lots of people show up today, kinda surprise. Frankie said we gonna have a practice may be on this Sunday, to prepare for the tournament coming next week. i really wanna see how good we are and how are we gonna communicate well to each other in the court, as we never play to each other before. so will see.

today we played the last game for this season, and we lost to 牧愛. when the game came to the last 4 seconds, one of the player in 牧愛 made the lay up. then we lost the game by 2 points. we didn't play the game very seriously today, and we didn't have much energy. also many of us didn't show up today, so we were kinda short of some man. well, we didn't play well anyway, just like a no energy game after all. i didn't play good today, i think i just got 8 points. and i cannot complete my little record that i can make at least 1 three point basket in every season game. jus this one game short, damn. i did not make any 3 point basket today, most the points are from the free throw line. the season now is over for us, we are just waiting for the playoff and see which team we are gonna face in the first round. hope it is not Ka Nam, cause they are now having 3 strong guys in the middle, very powerful. so will see... and i am now waiting for the tournament that my friend Frankie ask me to play, it's kinda like another Chinese basketball tournament. just for a weekend. i am looking forward to that, cause i wanna play with other guys in the team, this team looks like pretty strong for me. we got some of the strongest guy in the league to group in a team. will have cash price if we win the champion.

Today we had the battle against 慕頌, we won by 4 points. it wasn't a really tough battle, may be because some of the important players in their team didn't play today. so we have the advantage. although the 6'7 were here, but we shut him down. he didn't have much help for his team as well. we played very good defense today. man on man, no one can really have the space to shoot the ball. i got 18 points today, 4 three point basket again, pretty hot!! now we are the number 1 ranking team in the league. there is only one more game left for the season, and that's next week. the team is very good, so we don't need to worry much.
23/2/02
Today i had the most angriest game. the team 播道which had the record 0-8 really have the reason why they have that record. the whole team is suck, no one there in that team really knows how to play ball. all they know is pushing, elbowing, fouling people, and shouting at the ref. they know shit about regular playing. many of the guys really pissed me off, when they hit us, they shout at the ref ask why they get caught. when they got hit by us, they act like pussy, and say why isn't there a foul. i mean, fuck them, they are all stupid ass. i really inch and shout at them in their faces. i was trying to start a fight with them, they really need to get punished!! and the ref. really drive me crazy as well, they know shit again about referencing. i really don't know what were they doing there, they are just joking and not paying attention, i wanna beat them up too man... i am really really pissed man, damn. anyway, i played ok today, i got 16 points i think. i don't even care how many points we won by.
all i care now is next game, the top 2 teams match up (us and 慕頌). and lots of them are my friends too, so it's gotta be a really fun and exciting game. the important thing is how to stop Alvin, the 6'7 guy in the middle, how to stop his rebounds and blocks. really need to shoot excellent that day! it's the most important game for us so far, we really need to work hard and play seriously. i really need to say sorry to Ar Yin, i shout at him today in the game, but i didn't mean it. you know what i feel in this game.
21/2/02
Finally we got a practice today. but damn, it was driving me crazy. those people just day dreaming and joking around, they never take it seriously. i shouted at them many times but still nothing changed. i really want our practice to be more serious, not like playing balls in playground man. i really hate people fooling around when playing ball. i don't know they are stupid or what, just can't do things i want them to do, even i told them thousand times... it just simple things man, come on!! we will have a game against the worst team in the league, they have the record 0-8, never win a game, so we gotta 'crash' them up!
16/2/02
Today we had the game against 北頌, they have the record 1-6, and we have the record 6-1, so we won the game for sure. we won by 30 something points, i can't remember the exact number. i was in a hot streak today, when i made my first field goal, that's a 3 point, i know i am hot today. then i keep shooting, and i keep making basket. i had 17 points in first half i think. i got total 27 points in the game as they count. i made total 5 three points in the game, i really feel the touch today. as i shoot the basketball, i knew it's gonna get in. Also i got 1 big three point block later in the game, and several nice assists too. i really think today we played awesome, may be the other team is not that competitive. well, need to keep the momentum going man!! 27 points is not enough for me, hehe!!
14/2/02
Today is Valentine's day, so? i cannot believe they cancel the practice because today is valentine's day! i mean, you can't play basketball on V day? or your girl won't let you play eh?we didn't practice for already 2 weeks, not that we don't have game. we got games every weeks for a period, how can you just stop practicing? the fact is, we already not playing very well in the game, and now you still don't wanna practice more to improve? i mean, not everyone needs to be with his gf, some still wanna play some balls man! at least not only me who think that.well don't get me wrong, i am not saying they are wrong or something, i just think we really need some practice man, we are doing really bad, although we are still winning... we will have another game on Sat, i am looking forward to how are we gonna do in that game. lack of communication again? or something else worse? or suddenly get better? who knows. just play my best man!

It's the NBA all star game today, it was amazing. Jordan missed dunk, TMac with 2 sensational dunks, Kobe with the 'bulls' from fans and MVP. All pretty good this year. and yeh, of course the crazy dunks from J Richardson deserves the title...it was sick...
9/2/02
We have the game against 南頌, it was a tough tough game, i thought we were gonna lose that game in the beginning. we were playing so badly, especially on offence. And i were not shooting very well that day, although i got 13 points in the game, and it's the game high. we just won by 46-43. haha the funny thing was, i blocked the shot by Paul, and he got me one afterward, we were joking each other during the game, haha. well i won the game anyway, so he lost, yeh.
well, a little record for myself, for the last 7 games, i have made at least 1 three point in each game. and i wanna keep this going!
