Hi b team! don't be demoralised yet ok? u all have not yet complete ur mission! still got 2 schools! now, don't care about whether u all are able to get into top4 or not le.. concentrate on how to play well against the last two schools..
some comments for the match against amk sec this evening..
jiajia, u did well.. however, i feel that u are not very confident with ur forehand today.. i can see that you are too stressed and nervous.. maybe that affects ur performance.. for the next 2 matches, no more worries ok? just play all out le.. give in your 101%.. have no regrets ok??
lynette and chua, i noe it is hard for the 2 of u.. jiao lian and lao shi gave u 2 too much stress as it is a must win match.. or else we will be 0-2 down... i feel that 1st game u 2 did ok.. 2nd game u 2 sort of relax le.. fan song le.. nv concentrate fully on the match.. then plus the scolding from coach and teacher.. u 2 aren't playing at ur best... the 3rd game u all played normally.. and won easily.. however.. after coach keep asking u all to just hit the ball in, chua u become too careful.. hit the ball too short and centre of table.. and makes it very easy for opponent to force mistake out of lynette.. and lynette, u are also too stressed and mistakes realli keep coming... esp. from ur forehand.. it's actually not fully ur fault.. so don't be too hard on urself ok??
to charmaine, u are playing this match for the survivor of the team.. as we are 0-2 down... however, u played extremely well todae.. u have shown everyone of ur capability and strength.. i tink after this match, u have realli acquired all the necessary stuff to play and win in crucial matches... and everyone's heart is beating faster than urs... esp. mine when i am watching u play right beside the table... although u've lost.. don't feel sad also.. experience gained.. don't be complacent too.. maintain this level of mental strength and for the rest of the matches, i tink u will have a lot of chances to play singles.. (only my own prediction)
joanne and elaine, as i am umpiring charmaine's match, i've not realli observed how u all played.. but i can see that although u all won 3-2, but all the 3 games that u all have won, is by a lot.. so that means that ur ability and skill is way above ur opponent.. and also means that u 2 should not have lost the 2 games!!! not consistence enuff ok!! to joanne, ur forehand attack is good.. however, ur ability to differentiate the spin and choose which ball to attack is still not good enuff.. there is a lot of simple mistake when the ball is backspin very very spinny, u just smack like that.. and the ball just goes into the net.. point to improve on for you!
racheal yzelman, u've performed quite well for the last match! ur skill is basically there.. so after north zone, my idea is u must increase a bit of speed and strength to ur strokes.. cos ur strokes are already quite consistent.. and ur style of play is more or less fixed.. so to improve.. i guess have to increase a little bit power..
to everyone, i tink the team spirit is not strong enuff still... when jiajia was playing, the only pple cheering and clapping for her is me and zt!!!!! WTH!!! u all are a team!!! should support and cheer for ur teammates when they are playing! i only hear the cheering when the match is getting crucial, ie, when charmaine was playing... this is simply not the way! i wan u all to cheer and clap loud for every point and every game....
that's all from me...
