Reflections on basketball match

We have just finished a semifinal basketball match against group 6, which is the No.1 of team B (we are in team A) .The result is that we defeated them. So far we have had 4 matches, but here I do not want to describe the process of matches. I would like to share some of my thoughts.
Initially, what I want to say is, no matter what your opponent is like, you should pay your full attention and try your best to confront them. Our first match is against group 5. Comparatively, they are not so competitive. Nonetheless I still played my best and treated them seriously. This is not because we want a complete triumph, but it is to show our respect to our opponent. If we appear too relaxed and careless, that is arrogant. And to some extent they also command our esteem. They kept fighting to the last minute. Meantime, they changed several tactics to cope with our crazy offense.
Then what we need is courage and decisiveness. Whenever you have the chance to shoot, do not let it off. Trust yourself and you will make it. But it does not mean that you do not cooperate with your teammate. Teamwork is a key point we should never forget. Bear in mind that one person does not make a team. We watch basketball not only because of the extraordinary individual performance, but also the fluent teamwork. Basketball requires the competence that one can find the chance to let others score a goal.
Another essential part is making thorough preparation. We won the previous two matches easily, so we had no provision for the third. Therefore, we encountered a failure this time. Our opponent had exerted perfect tactics. Having learned a lesson from this, we prepared well for the semifinal match and as our expectation, we won.
There is only one match we will have, which is the final match. No matter what the result will be, let us try our best, so that we will not be regretful. Again, I wish we could have good luck!
