Today, I went to watch DBL. It's a big basketball tournament and dance competition for high school.
I was really excited. I was also there last year, on the floor, dancing with my team. That's why I'm looking forward to this event.
I went to the place where it was held together with my high school mate. Traffic jam, as predicted. But it was not really that bad. Anyway, when I reached the gym, it was packed. Full of humans. Not the amount I would like to meet. It was really hot too and I forgot to use sunscreen. The worse, it didn't fit the schedule and was delayed for like, an hour. Cool isn't it. I hate it.
When I finally got inside, it was already packed, of course. I could not even find a seat on the stand my high school was supposed to sit. So, I went and sit on the other side, which is the rival's stand so I was kinda forced to sit in the upper corner. It was not bad because I could see the whole court that way/
Turned out, it was a great decision. I could see my high school students cheering on my basketball team and it was superb. They were so unified, I love it so much. Never knew it was that loud. Good things happened again. I met my senior which I adore so much (lol). I was really happy that I could see him even though he was with his girlfriend.
But, the match, it was somehow disappointing. Not because they lost, but because I didn't feel the bonds. It was not a good game. I am an outsider, never played basketball before nor I understand about this sport. But I know which one is a good team and which one is not. My boys were not good enough. They looked confused. They looked like they don't know what they are doing. They seemed rushed. My favorite boy too didn't look like himself. He seemed down, not like his usual kinda fast-aggressive play.
The opposing team, they were great. But, not that great. They were like, kinda on par with my boys, only a slightly better. But they got teamwork and also they somehow emitting dangerous. It felt like they were monsters stopping on rabbits. It was a chaos.
On the other side, the girls were cool. They danced their hearts out. I could not even find the miss, it was fantastic. I could feel their aura. The theme was vampire and they could bring out the scary atmosphere. Their expression was wonderful too, I could not blink my eyes. They succeeded. A standing applause for my girls.
I went home during the blackout of the second game. The gym sucks. Two technical electricity mistakes and a lot of flaws on the court. Really, holding this event here is such a great mistake. Not only the place is small, also the facilities are lacking.
Anyway, even though my friends said that it would be hard for them to advance in the match, I still wish at least they still could maintain their position and advance to fantastic four. It would be nice if you boys listen to your coach and start to depend on each other. Basketball is a team play, not a me play, okay? For the dancer, I'm positive you all can go to Arena! Just keep your spirit and go slay them all!
It was a pity that the buzzer beater didn't happen even though it was really close to happen but good luck, everyone!
