How team White Heat was formed?
ayia.. since there's nobody here to spam with me on the tagboard so I will write a short story on how our team was formed. The story is purely based on what i know so please forgive me in advance for any discrepancy in the story.
Year 2005, I was in jc2 and most of them were year 1 soldiers in NS. It was end august that Wei Chao first jio the ajc people like me johnny,vincent,gary,jinglun Jonathon,weiqiang and sikuan for a basketball session at chengsan cc. It slowly became a weekly activity however we see less and less people coming so weichao decided to jio Zeyan to play with us. Zeyan in turn jio zhanghao and eugene since they were in the same camp at that time. I still remember the first time playing with zeyan,zhanghao and eugene 1 and a half year after our last game in combine school.. Eugene then started to jio huijie,Ivan and bingxing to play with us. We basically play at either yewtee cc or chengsan cc on weekends because thats the time when they can book out..I think Xingru also very long never touch ball liao so i also jio him down to chengsan cc to play too.. There was one time when nobody bring the ball and quanju had to go sportslink in amk to buy a new basketball just for that day.HAHA I think we meet up so regularly on weekends for basketball sessions that its feels funny if we did not play on a weekend.. In 2006, eugene jio us to go ccab to play. (AND THATS WHERE KENNY ALWAYS SEEMS TO COME TO PLAY ALSO BECUASE HE IN OCS MAH SO HE ALSO NEVER REALLY PLAY MUCH WITH US UNTIL HE COMMISSION AROUND DEC 2006 LIKE THAT) Then we of coz said ok lah since it was indoor and we can play from 2pm to 6pm with their experienced players like de mao who burn me until i got nothing left. It was around April when someone ( I not sure who) suggests that we form a team to play for BAS Open. The initial suggested team name was "Zeyan and friends" since zeyan was like the connecting link between all of us to come down and play.But the name sound too stupid thats why never use. HAHAHAHA. In the end we decide to use White Heat as "yan" in chinese sounds like zeyan also.. hahaha It was a huge challenge because we have to pay for our own jerseys and competition fees. Worst of all we dun have a coach. Huijie then ask coach jian hao if he was willing to coach us and he agreed. Coach also never have much time to train or know us. So he put players in based on performance that day. The BAS Open was in sep and johnny was in sispec so he didn't join us.I just got posted to unit therefore I was still able to join them. The rest of them were year2 soldiers going to ORD so it wasn't much of a problem to them either. We started the BAS open very smoothly, winning and topping our first round group. However in the 2nd round. On the game against G net, zhanghao,zeyan,eugene and jonathon cannot come because they got atec and we lost the game by 23points. It was the worst game we ever played. We won minyi and faced a crucial game against hongkah where we need to beat them by 21points to qulify for the next round. We started the game damn well. Played aggressive defence and taking a 15 to 3 lead in 1st quarter. We never allow our lead to go below 10 points througout the game. In the final minute weiqiang was foul and he made both free throw to give us a 22 points lead. I thought we have won it but duno which hongkah player in the last 5 to 6 secs still go for a lay up and made it to cut our lead to 20points. We were booted out of the BAS Open but we formed one on the strongest team in years to come... Derek =) |
