Clippers game

fastasianLeave a comment

On Saturday, I went to an LA Clippers game with my school, and it was an unforgettable experience. I think it was my sixth Clippers game, but this one felt different because I was surrounded by my friends and classmates. As we arrived at the arena, I could feel the excitement in the air. Our seats were not the greatest, but the view was actually way better than I expected. We were lucky that most of the Clippers’ players were not injured besides Ben Simmons. It was a neck-to-neck game against the Sacramento Kings. I think there were 12 ties in total in the game. Kawhi Leonard ended the game with a left hook buzzer beater. the crowd went crazy when he hit the left hooker and won the game for Clippers with score being 111-110. After the game, we all went down onto the court after the workers had cleared out the court for us. We were all able to shoot a free throw. It was an amazing experience even though we still had school the next day, and we got back to the dorms late too. But that day will be an unforgettable moment.

After the first league basketball game against Westmark, I wrapped up the match with 4 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. It was a solid team effort, and we came out on top with a convincing victory, 46-27. The game started a bit slow for us in the first quarter, as we struggled to find our rhythm. However, the team stepped up together, and we tightened our defense significantly. One of the highlights was our incredible performance in the third quarter, where we managed to shut down Westmark completely, not allowing them to score any points. By the time we reached the fourth quarter, we had established a comfortable lead. This allowed our freshmen players to get their first playing time in the season, gaining experience and confidence. Overall, it was a satisfying start to the league with a record of 1-0, and I look forward to building on this momentum in our upcoming games since it is always great to start the season with a win.

We finished the tournament last week, and our team was in 4th place. The record is 2-2 now. In one of the losses, we lost to a buzzer-beater 3 down at the half court after coming back from down by 18 points. It was the 3rd game in the tournament on Wednesday. I had a bad game, posting 5 points and 6 rebounds. However, we will play them again in the season. We should beat them next time with different refs and new systems and plays. We finished the tournament with a win against Beacon Hill posting 8 points and 2 rebounds. Throughout the tournament it was not the best performance, I only averaged 6.8 points per game and 3 rebounds per game. The season starts today playing against Westmark. The goal is to get as many rebounds as possible minimize turnovers and start the season with at least 15 points.

For basketball this week, it was short. Since we had a game the week after we returned from Christmas break. The practices were painful since I hadn’t moved much during the break. However, we played against Highland Hall and Summit View School. After both games, we still remain undefeated. I didn’t get to start in the starting lineup because I forgot to wear a tie since the coach asked the team to wear it before the game. However, during the game, I still got some decent minutes, but they were limited due to the weak calls from one of the referees. I had 3 fouls in the first half, which is surprising since I usually was never in foul trouble when I started in the starting lineup. But now that I got benched that game, I started the game with 3 fouls and ended the game with 4 fouls and 1 more foul from being fouled out.

With the changes in the basketball schedule we will be back playing in the Newbury Tournament. It will be a week long with 3 games on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. The games are right after thanksgiving break. Which is why we should keep condition ourselves during the break. We entered quarter finals last year therefore I hope we can go to the finals this time, with the new coach and new systems. I believe we will be ready for the upcoming season with the more organized basketball program this year. These three games will be important for us since it can affect our stats for the rest of the season. If we start out the season with winning it can give the team more confidence in the games for the rest of the season. During practice recently we have been practicing running the plays that we have learned so far including two defensive plays and 3 offensive plays. the practices recently has been more fun finally since we started running scrimmages in practices instead of just drills and conditioning.

In this winter basketball season we will have 13 games, all away games. In recent practices we have been working on our offensive game plays. Coach has introduced us new plays such as Duke and Princeton. Duke is when the 1 calls for a high pick and roll on the court with the wings and 4 staying at their positions, 2 at the wings and 1 at the free throw line. Princeton is when the 1 will call Princeton high on the court with 4 players stacking from the left wing all the way to the right wing. It will require paying lots of attention during the games because Princeton can be used in different forms such as inside screen into an easy layup, or pass and cut to dish to the player on the top to get a wide open 3. However, with all these games finally scheduled we are still working on getting an indoor basketball gym to host 1 or 2 home games excluding CIF playoffs. This will be another exciting season with the new coach, new system, and new games. We are in hope of returning to playoffs this year.
