真正的篮球

S3M 赵端瑞这是一个值得我们赞赏的赛季，也是一个意义非凡的赛季。起初我们蒙头蒙脑的就加入了今年的U16篮球队，赛前的训练，想去就去，不想去就不去，感觉整个队伍就是一团糟。打得好的人不认真，打得不好的人还是不好。后来中三与中二的同学分开了训练，每一次的训练就只是我们中三一队的人了。还隐约记得第一次的训练，临近三点十五分，我们说说笑笑地走进了篮球场，一抬头发现三位老师站在场的那边，脸上摆着已经被掩饰过的愤怒与失望，我们僵在那里，声也不敢出。训练开始的时间是3点，我们迟到了将近十五分钟。准时，便是我们上的第一堂课。一番思想教育之后，我们便开始了这个赛季的第一场训练。每个人看起来都很激动，很有斗志，一拿到球就跟猴子一样蹦，就这样，我们以半玩半认真的态度，结束了第一次训练。好不容易撑过了训练前的训骂，我们刚把衣服换完，又被召集回12楼的楼梯口，坐在地上，接着就是沉默的一分钟，我们似乎还能听见汗水滴在地上的声音，和它们划过脸颊的感觉。“你们知道下一次训练就是赛季的第一场比赛吗？”Mr Lian撑着下巴，审视着我们。好了，这就是我们的第二堂课，态度。 ”如果你们要来这里玩的话，好的没问题，我不管，我可以每天准时离开做我自己的事情，你们也可以像上一届的U16一样输掉整个赛季，教练也准时走人。”这句话到了赛季末我们才理解，什么才是真正的态度，对待任何事情的态度决定你的成绩。当然，不准时导致的结果也是致命的，课后留校（detention）。说起这个，队里几乎每两个星期就会有人有detention，其原因也显而易见，迟到。对此，Mr. Lian在队里第一位同学有detention的时候就放了狠话，“谁再有detention那么他的下一场比赛就不用参加，在旁边观看。”然后每一场比赛都会有人打不了。到了后面几场的训练，不知是比赛的时候不能打，板凳坐疼了，还是被Mr Lian骂够了，大家似乎都不会缺席也不会迟到，来的时候是一个团队，走的时候也是一个团队。说了缺点，说说优点。人类生来就是要改变，而且要越变越好，哪怕从每一次的训练中。我们从一开始就围绕着一种防守体系去训练，就像教练说过的，“我们进攻没有别人猛，那我们就要赢在防守上。”然而这个防守阵容与体系，是需要所有人的联动与配合，和前面两位防守队员的坚持才能把它发挥得淋漓尽致。所以每一次的训练，都是团队磨合的机会；每一次的训练和失误，都是团队能去改善的地方。整一个防守体系的细节尤其重要，从前两位防守队员开始防守的位置，到后面三个人移动的位置，都是要极其准确的。不仅如此，这样防守后的快攻也是紧密相连的，所以整一套防守加进攻做下来，我们会很累很累，累到连坐地板上都还觉得累。我们不仅从训练中学习与改善，更加会从每一次的比赛中吸取教训，从而改变战术，提升自己。每一次比赛结束后，不论是在主场还是在客场，教练都会费心找一小块地方，一队人围起来，每个人都要说对于整场比赛，我们做得好的地方和需要改进的地方，对手的弱点和我们的优点，如果下次再遇到的话，我们要怎么做得更加好。回到训练中，教练便会拿一块白板，仔细与我们分析整场比赛的细节。我们会从每一场的比赛中更好地了解自己，了解整个团队，了解怎么以一个团队去训练，从而增加对对手与自己的认识，进而改变战术或者方案，改变比赛。这一个意义非凡的赛季，刷新了我们对时间、态度、责任、信心与成败的认知，更明白要怎么变成一个更好的篮球运动员，怎么在场上控制自己的情绪，尊重对手、裁判与队友。而这并不能被理解为小题大做，因为人生就像篮球赛，细节决定成败。

U14 Boys Basketball CCA AY1718

by Sam Tung (S2S) As Captain of the U14 Boys Basketball Team, I have witnessed our team go through ups and downs this season, and it has felt like a roller coaster ride at many points along the journey. We experienced victory, but we also faced defeats. However, the most important part of the journey was learning from the mistakes that we had made in order to improve and grow as basketball players. Over the course of the season, […]

Sharing from a Cross Country Team Member

by Eugene Ho (S1L) Since young, I always had an interest in running. I fondly remember the time my mom and I joined a 3km race. I was able to finish the race with a mild side stitch through the last 2km. It was then I knew running long distance required training and dedication. Cross country is about running in long distances on different grounds. During this half-year as a member of the school’s cross country team, we ran […]

Our Cross Country Team @ SISHK

by Arthur Liu (DP1B) When Mr Patrick Wong (HOD / PE & CCA) approached me at the end of the last academic year regarding the creation of a new cross country CCA for the school, asking if I would be interested in leading it, I was quite taken aback. This was because my group of friends and I had approached him earlier that year proposing the creation of a similar athletics team centred around sprint events, but to no […]

Community Council Updates – February 2018

by Arthur Liu (DP1B) and Kristy Chan (S4R) Progress: something that can be hard to achieve within a council that already works tirelessly throughout the school year. As such, the two of us as Co-Presidents of the Community Council, have been left in a conundrum since the summer holidays, thinking, “What can WE do to improve upon our Council?” The Community Council has made a quantum leap in progress in the last two years, holding countless donation drives; hosting […]

社际双语辩论赛

作为我校华文辩论队的一员，我有幸受老师邀请负责帮忙筹办今届的社际辩论赛。与以往的中文辩论赛不同，今年的社际辩论以双语的形式进行，目的是希望同学们能更重视双语能力，并考验辩手们在中英文之间灵活、自由转换的能力。其实有不少人都很好奇，双语辩论是怎么个双语法呢？我们所用的赛制要求正、反方各派出三名辩手。一、二辩分别以中文和英文进行立论和申论，三辩会分别以英文和中文向对方辩手进行提问，最后以双语作出小结。赛制要求三辩在双语小结中平均分配两种语言的使用时间，颇具挑战性。初赛在十二月举行，辩题为“应试教育最适合我校学生”。Zubir Said 和 LKY 分别战胜了 Marshall 和 Raffles，取得进入决赛的资格。参赛辩手语言能力都很强，中文和英文都十分流利，表现让众评判留下深刻的印象。季军赛在一月举行，对战双方分别是Marshall 和 Raffles。辩手就“学校应/不应允许学生在课外自由使用电脑”展开了激烈的辩论。双方经过一番唇枪舌剑，不遑多让，场上局面不分上下。最终，Marshall 技胜一筹，以二比一的比分险胜 Raffles 成为季军。评判一致认为辩手的表现比初赛有了进步，并期待其余两社辩手们的在决赛的表现。万众瞩目的决赛在2月7号早会时间于学校礼堂举行。这场比赛的辩题为“社交媒体能/不能促进人际关系”，由代表正方的 Zubir Said 对战代表反方的 LKY。辩题得到在场所有同学的广泛关注，尤其是来自对战两社的同学们更是默默地为自己的社打气。比赛十分紧张紧凑，双方同学不停提出尖锐的问题、气定神闲的拆解对方的攻击，也用犀利的辞锋阐述己方观点。观众席上全体师生纷纷洗耳恭听，为场上雄辩滔滔的辩手们鼓掌叫好。经过一轮激烈的比拼，LKY终以三比二的票数获胜，登上冠军宝座。亚军 Zubir Said 的三辩王冠然同学则获得最佳辩手殊荣。同学们表示本届比赛的辩题都贴近他们的生活，让大家都更有兴趣，并更能产生共鸣。大家都觉得双语的赛制让更多老师也能参与其中，帮助同学搜集资料和备稿。决赛的评判老师们纷纷认为辩手们展现了极高的双语及思辩能力，希望他们精彩绝伦的表现能激励更多同学从自己身边的事开始多进行批判性思考。我从举办是次比赛的过程中也获益良多。由于我校是首次举办双语辩论比赛，所以我在筹备过程中在拟定双语版本的赛制和辩题方面下了不少苦功。再者，协调四社的参与人员对我来说也是一个挑战。初赛的时候有辩手因为忘记出席比赛而久久未到；我就在季军赛的时候作出调整，要求社长预先提交辩手名单，并发电邮提醒大家以确保所有人都会准时到达比赛场地。今年的社际辩论赛到此以圆满结束。希望明年参赛的同学能更上一层楼，有更好的表现；也希望明年有更多同学能参与到备战过程中，不只是做观众。期待明年更精彩的社际辩论赛！
