Common Test 2
According to the July training programme, there will be training on 28th and 30th July.
After that, there will be a short CCA stand-down.
The message is clear: Getting good grades for your academic subjects is always very important. I want you to have determination in getting good results.
There will be oral examinations over the next few days. If you are scheduled to take your oral examinations and it clashes with basketball training, you are expected to complete your oral exam first. Once you are done, you should then report for training. Always keep Mr Ken Ng informed if you face this problem.
Also, if for some reason you are punished with detention after school, then I expect you to serve out your detention first.
Skipping detention to attend CCA trainings goes against the spirit of sportsmanship. Do the right thing.
Study hard, players. Do not let yourself down with poor grades. Basketball is important, but so are good academic grades.

The Greenridge team was a very different team compared to our previous two opponents. This team is more experienced and certainly much faster in offense. I knew that Greenridge would provide a stern test for our young Fajar team.
The coach, as always, quickly analysed the situation and gave very simple instructions to the team.
His plans worked very well, for in the first two quarters we were neck-to-neck with them in terms of the scoreline.
However, in the 3rd quarter, Fajar fell apart. Playing man-to-man system is actually very simple and uncomplicated. Unfortunately, some players were very forgetful and looked very lost. Some allowed their players to run away into space. There were times when our players did not realise that the person they were supposed to mark had already gone behind them.
In man-to-man system, you need to stay close and contain your player. Don't give them space to receive the pass. Do not attempt to steal. Just contain and blunt their threat.
You need to know the jersey number of the player you are marking. During defence, do not ever let him out of your sight. Just stick to him. These are all very simple rules but Fajar made it look so difficult.
So, in the 3rd quarter, Greenridge took great advantage of Fajar's confusion.
Again, there was no 'general' on our court to wake the team up. The coach was screaming instructions. My voice bellowed in the indoor court, admonishing players to mark their man and to box them out.
But truthfully, what Fajar really needs is a player who takes charge of the team and barks all these instructions to them. The captain and the vice-captain will need to take on this role to inspire the team and motivate them to perform even better.
After this game ended, both the coach and I are now clear that we need to work on the man-to-man system.
Again, I have to repeat: the man-to-man system is a very simple plan to execute. Against Greenridge, if the players had the presence of mind to work out who they are marking, we wouldn't have played so badly.
This match marks the end of our series of training matches. On Friday, we go back to our home court to refine our formation and skills. Next Monday, we have one more training session in the afternoon. On Wednesday, it is Match Day vs Westwood Secondary.
Fajar, train hard!

This match against AES was very interesting to the coach and I, because this AES team consisted mainly inexperienced Secondary 1 players, similar to our training squad.
AES has always been one of the best disciplined teams around, mainly due to its strong leadership from its teacher in charge, Ms Peh, who is assisted by the coach who works well with her.
That is why it is important that leaders are strong, steady and rooted in positive and right values. Any team that is led by weak leaders are destined to fail.
In many ways, the Fajar team improved in many ways:
1. There was greater penetration and willingness to attack creatively.
2. The defence was much tighter this time, and AES players were boxed out more. Once we got the rebounds, AES had to run back to defend.
3. There were some improvement in individual performances, such as Lim Heng Yi and Lian Ting Hao, who showed great stamina and were very involved in the game.
Some things that the Fajar squad needs to improve on:
1. Once we get any rebounds, we must never throw the ball away carelessly. This happened quite a number of times, and the ball fell into the hands of the AES players, putting our team under great pressure.
2. At times we were under trouble, but there was no 'general' on the court to organise the team properly! All we needed was for someone to alert the players on the court and tell them to wake up, to play hard etc.
Overall, it was a good match, where we played well and followed the coach's instructions. Incidentally, we did win the game but unfortunately, in training matches, the scoreline does not matter. In friendly matches, there are no prizes for the winner.
In friendly matches, what matters most is that we play to the best of our ability, applying what we have learnt in training, and using teamwork to bring out the best in one another. When we achieve that in any match, then that would be the sweetest victory of all.

Report on training match vs Yuan Ching Sec 13 Jun 2008
Fajar squad that faced YCSS today:

Referee: Chua Jun Chang (senior player)
Fajar and Yuan Ching were evenly matched in the first two quarters. However, in the third and last quarter, Yuan Ching pulled away and scored more baskets. Some reasons were:
1. YCSS players were more willing to penetrate, cutting inside the Fajar defence.
2. The YCSS players talked a lot to each other on the court. It was very important to see that the YCSS players were regularly motivating each other, giving encouragement when their player was taking the free throw, for example.
3. Fajar players were passing the ball around, but needed more ideas to penetrate into YCSS defence. Without penetration, YCSS found it easy to defend against us.
4. The box-out in defence was not consistent. Sometimes it was very good, but sometimes the Fajar players were guilty of ball-watching, and let the opponent sneak past to get the re-bound.
Some suggested improvements:
1. Less dribble, more passes - passing the ball is always faster than the fastest dribble. It is important to look up when dribbling, so as to spot any team-mate making offensive runs.
2. Strong defence is the most important - and box-out with the outlet centre can be very effective, especially at the C Div level. If our centres (such as Joshua, Joe, Kevin, Shengxian and Jing Hong) box out well, they will make the opponents feel very discouraged, because they won't be getting any rebounds at all.
3. When attacking YCSS, Fajar players need to be adventurous. Passing the ball around too much becomes harmless. Find an opening, do a fake, do the triple-threat. Find the opportunity to shoot, pass, or penetrate. Do the unexpected.
4. Under the basket, go for the shot. Do not pass the ball away when you are right under the basket. Position yourself, and go for it. You may score and earn 2 points, or you may draw a foul. Either way, our team will benefit. If you pass the ball away, we are actually helping the opponents. And we look very silly as well.
Jiawei played a relatively good game today, because he was more able to talk to his team-mates. Also, he played strongly and gave YCSS a slightly more difficult time.
Tinghao was energetic. He was running everywhere and in defence, he applied strong pressure on YCSS players.
However, on the whole, Fajar's performance is still lacking sharpness. There is much room for improvement.
All the players today must reflect and think about their good moments and not-so-good moments in today's game.
For the next game against Assumption English, you must think about how you can be a more effective player.

4th Annual B Boys Free Throw Shooting Competition
2005 winner - Chua Jun Chang
2006 winner - Eugene Luah
2007 winner - Chua Jun Chang 'Legend'
2008 winner - ?
On the 2nd April 2008, Fajar basketball organised the 4th edition of the popular Free Throw Shooting Competition for the B Boys.
This year's competition saw 19 players take part. The early favourite was Chua Jun Chang, who has earned his nickname 'Legend' for his prowess in putting away free throws into the basket. He has an excellent record in this competition, winning the title twice.
In the first round, however, the legend was eliminated by Ben John Ruiz, who displayed a cool head to score more baskets.
The first round also saw Lim Zi Ting put in 10 out of 11 baskets - an astonishing record - as he eliminated Roy Lim.
In the final, Ben outlasted Lim Zi Ting in the battle of nerves. Both were very nervous and eventually, Ben managed to score more baskets - but just by a bit.
The final top 4 positions are -
champion - Ben John Ruiz
2nd - Lim Zi Ting
3rd - Kho Zhi Cheng
4th - Zhang Wenxing
Hotshot of the competition - Lim Zi Ting (10 shots out of 11)
Congratulations to the winner, and credit to all who took part in this great contest of skill, mental strength and confidence:
