Sorry Nasyitah,
your request from me will not be granted.
understand that you are in a game of basketball.
as great and fun as this game may be,
it's cruel if you are playing it competitively and not leisurely!
every game, there will be one winner one loser.
losers get criticisms from outsiders, looked down upon by opponents, bitterness among the team, and worst of all, REGRETS for life!
i rather be the one criticizing you now than you getting the criticisms from other people after you have lost!
aren't you mentally weak to be unable to take criticisms?
aren't you focusing on the wrong things by harping over the criticisms and not on how to right your mistakes?
i can tell you i never criticize 2 kind of players.
1) players who are improving, good enough and executing the right things on court.
2) players who fought hard with a motive on court knowing what they are doing and not doing for the sake of doing.
if you don't want to be criticized, be 1 of the above(so i can make the team stronger as soon as possible)!
if you are not, either accept it(and hopefully you aim for the better) or get lost(cos i won't stop any losers from leaving the team!)
**nasyitah, i know you are trying to be kind to your teammates, but i can tell you your kindness is cruelty to the team.
you want me to be cruel to my team, sorry i can't oblige!
you want me to let other people criticize my team after losing, sorry i can't stand that!
you will never understand REGRETS!
today i've yet another regret...my unity boys got out of 2nd round due to goal difference!
just like how we lost the chance to go top 4 for last year's c div.
so what if we fight and win the games we are suppose to?
so what if i can create miracle like for ngee ann's match?
so what if Kss beat jurong west?
so what if unity best terok kurau?
so what if Ngee ann only lost Anglican by 1 point to prove we are as strong as them?
out means OUT! lose means LOSE! no one will pity you!
other teams' coaches: ''your team should go to the top 4, tough luck''--> F*** U!
opponent's coach: ''everyone say they will win but i proved to be better.'' ---> F*** myself!
can you stand to hear all these when you are at your saddest?
but that's not the worse!
have you seen how a team(everyone!) BROKE DOWN together when the buzzer goes off?
have you seen how a team cried for so long because the loss marks the end of their journey?
do you know how much that hurts? do you now how helpless it was?
how i wish i have the chance to do EVERYTHING before the match but there's really NOTHING i can do after we lost.
i hope i can make you as strong and bonded as that team but i don't wish for another regrets.
so if i must do what i need to do, I WILL!
.
.
because
.
.
i just don't want history to repeat itself again...(i really don't know when the next regret will make me give up!)
now i ask you:
you don't want to be criticized... but when can the team play like a real team?
a great team with excellent teamwork/great plays,
a bonded team that fights and feels for each other,
a team which fights for 1 DREAM,
a team which i have nothing to criticize about,
a team which i can't even BEAR to get angry with?
you don't want me to criticize... i wish for the chance to have this kind of team(again)....
*other than this request, i think nasyitah's other suggestions are great.
it's a bliss to have this kind of player who thinks so much for the team.
so if you are not leading, at least be a great follower who add strength and not just number to the team.
left less than a week to wake up and fight for the team!
JIA YOU!
