Representing UMS is my goal when i enter UMS. With hard work from training everyday-continuous baseline shooting, 4,3,2 pass layup, half court press, I am selected for MASUM(inter university games) basketball team. Our team had started training for the whole semester but from early stages that has i think 30 something people, we left the best 12. The training is really tough, after physical and stamina training, we are needed to perform half court press. I got once training until my vision is blurred because of lacking stamina.
No.14 is Mahathir always my best teammate. He is also my teammates in intercollege competitions. He always know where i am going and what i want to do on court. No.12 Ah siong is our ace player. He used to represent SUKMA for Perak and he is the captain of our team. No.11 Ah Zing is Sabah state player. He is also known as jumpman because of his ability to dunk. No.7 and No.15 Sani and Ah Quan are our centers. Sani is also my teammates in intercollege competitions. Ah Quan is the freshman with great physical strength. No.13,No.10 and No.5 Ah Ming, Boon Chong and Jing Yi are our forwards. Ah ming is a good passer, Boon Chong unlickily injured his leg just before the tournament so he didnt play a lot, Jing Yi has great stamina as he is one of the PALAPES. No.4, No.9 and No.6 Jonathan, Vui Kien and Ah seng are our guards. Jonathan used to play for asia city team and he is a consistent shooter. Vui kien used to played for Darrulsalam and is a good dribbler. Ah seng has his special moves made him unguardable. Lastly me No.8 obviously lacking tough body played forward for the team.
This photo was taken before our game with petronas staff at DBKK. We snatched a 30 points win in this game.
During MASUM 1st game we were up aginst UIAM. The whole UIAM team were foreign students. Their forwards and center are at average 6 feet high. We manage to keep the score shoulder to shoulder until fourth quarter they just got some luck, scored a couple of 3s causing us to lose. I didnt managed to score in this game.
2nd game we were up against UM. They were defending champion so we don't expect a lot for this game. We just played our best. The result of course is we losed but i think our team played better for this game. We didnt do many mistakes. We losed just because they are experienced and their physical strength are better. I manages to score 9 points all from 3 points area.
This year MASUM will be held at Terengganu if i am not mistaken. UMS had declared not to send basketball team just because we didnt won last year. This reason really sucks. We trained hard, prepared well. We losed just because we lacked experiences. If UMS stopped sending us to MASUM, this mean we will not gaining any experience so how are we going to improved??? This is sad really sad not fair for all the basketballer in UMS. Football also didnt won last year but why they are given priority??? UMS has 3 football fields. 1 of them is fully equiped with 4 big spotlights tower. What do basketball court has??? with only 1 basketball court, its fine. The court has no spotlights, it s also fine. The worse is even after raining, the court just flooded. Sad.....really sad.
