4 Sundays later, I finally get a good training session. We're now in Finals of the tournament, ready to face SSS. We'll win, naturally.
3.30 arrival, on time, for once. I expected no one to come, but it was quite full. Well I wasn't tasked with anything at the start, so I just played with Benjamin for a while until he went to 'catch his breath'.
After that we played some ultra stupid joke game of baseball, table tennis style. Darren and I, Ben and Darrel. We were all so tickled and amused by all the crap that came up. Changing pitcher and batters, random home runs, strikes and balls 1 2 and 3. It was a really funny time but sadly boring for me after a while.
I ended that dumb game of baseball by asking to play doubles proper. 3 - 2 we won, last set 11 - 9, I was quite happy that I beat Ben somewhere, having lost to him thrice in the past 2 weeks, but I haven't gotten the satisfaction of winning in Singles yet.
Following that, I doubled with Marcus against the Darren and Benedict. 3 - 2 close win again for us. Then we followed up with dumb game 2. Triples :) Not as retarded as Baseball, but insanely hard to play. And it didn't last too long either. Still hilariously stupid though.
Coach made me pair with Benjamin next, against Darren and Ben again. We lost this time, 3 - 2. I found one part very funny. Ben told Darren to serve some ball, and Darren was preparing to serve, then he was about to throw the ball but stopped and said: "Results may vary". I don't know if it's me or what but I felt that was really good. I guess its the phrase and words that he used.
So after that, the epic season began. 4 seniors + our 4 doubles paired. That is, 大的带着小的,打双打. Each pair played against every other pair. There were many points where the seniors would shout in unison out of surprise. I didn't take note of the first match, I was playing a match with Marcus and Timothy each, both which I won. All I can say is that all their matches were intense, most of them going up to 2 - 2 and having a really sweatbreaking last set. Darren and his 长胶 partner lost to Edwin and Darrel, while Ben and his doubles guy won Ying Jie and Rui Jie.
Edwin + Darrel vs Ying Jie + Rui Jie, 2 - 3.
Darren + idk vs Ben + idk, 3 - 2
Played with Ziping, didn't realize he was using his left hand because the balls were still very 转, madness.
Final match, Edwin Darrel got an easy win over Ben and his teammate. Rui Jie Ying Jie Darren and Mr. 长胶 had a fight to the bitter end. Ying Jie just kept doing his dives to the ground, which he said was commitment to earning the point. Apparently there was one point where Ying Jie dived, when the ball came back, Rui Jie went to receive but tripped over Ying Jie's head in the process. Darren's return missed and both him and his partner collapsed in disbelief ad frustration, so all 4 players were on the ground.
Darrel missed another vital point in the last set where neither Ying nor Rui Jie were in the position to stop it, and it was a high ball too. Utter embarrassment. Darren and the 长胶 guy lost in the end.
Had another match with Timothy, then left for home. 6 pull ups today.
