Thank You Chenai
That’s what our opponent team in basketball said to our star player, Chenai, who unfortunately for us, was not able to play last night because of her training. She actually came to the court less than 2 minutes before the end of the game (not enough time to suit up and play) so it was just us.
We lost… What can we expect. But it was a very good game because we played hard to compensate for the absence of Chenai. There was never a dominant team nor player. All throughout the game, both team played hard defense and offense. All players worked hard and earned statistical points.
This game gave me a lot of first time opportunities… For the first time, I played the whole game (well I actually got a 2 minute break after the ball boxed my nose). For the first time, I got stats in almost all areas of the ballgame - field goal, assist, steal, rebound, foul, and yes, even turnover. For the first time, I heard a lot of nice comments about how I played.
So, to repeat La Coruna’s line - Thank you Chenai. If it would not be a selfish gesture on my part, I would want to ask you to not play again so I can get to have more playing time. Hahaha. But I’m for the team, so thank you Chenai, but please, don’t leave us again next week.
Cheers.
