it was la salle's second game for the first round of uaap season 72. i watched the game for the first time live this season, and effortlessly got lower box seats. i had wanted, badly, to watch a game live (i'd watch every game, if i could) : one - to actually see them play, two - to cheer my heart out, and three - to see if they wanted it bad enough, and if any of them had heart. you gotta have heart to play the game, as seen most recently in king archer jv casio. the team, is a very young team. no star players, no go-to guys. it is a team made up of those who have experienced redemption *season 70* and defeat *season 71*. plus a bunch of rookies who have yet to prove themselves. la salle's game vs ue was very painful to watch on tv. (not only that, hearing boom gonzales is driving me nuts. please, for the love of basketball, don't let him cover la salle games. or better yet, get another sportscaster!!!) i would've expected the veterans to take the crucial shots, but they only ended up choking. talk about first day jitters. i'd expect that from the rookies, but not not the veterans, who have had more nerve racking games than this one. it served as a reality check, that the possibility of earning a spot in the final four is very very slim. of course, this can't be concluded with just a result of a single game, a poorly played game at that, but then all you have to do is hope for the best and expect the worst.
today's game, is still another loss. la salle's standing is at 0-2, same as up's. apparently, la salle has never started with a 0-2 standing for the past 23 years. at the score of 65-51, it seemed that the archers are struggling to even hit the 50 point mark. why all this negativity, you might ask? it's just that in knowing all these, knowing the worst possible outcome, i am keeping the faith.. still. always. no matter what.
this loss has been bearable because i have seen the animo ablaze in the archers. the rookies seemed to have more heart in them. and other veterans are trying to step up this time. i wanted to see passion and fire and desire to play the game, but instead, i saw a spark. that will be enough for now. i can bear to watch games, even against ateneo, so long as they fight.
i am keeping the faith. i'm ready for the heartaches and the heartbreaks, no armors, just heart. the rookies have really great potential and i'm hoping that in 2-3 years, la salle will have its dream team (and simon atkins as team captain. hehe. ;p fearless forecast?!). ANIMO LA SALLE! >>--->
