【Aiden in English】

        Today, we did what everyone at Basketball Camp was waiting for. We had a 90-minute 5-on-5 game with subs.

        To put it simply, it was a chaotic scene. Fouls were called every few minutes, primarily for half-court violations, as the younger kids were hesitant to go to the basket. There were also a lot of offensive fouls that probably resulted from kids who didn't have enough skill to dribble around others. Technical fouls were often whistled, and tempers began to rise. Everyone thought that it would be fun, but soon, fights broke out.

        The most significant problem was the presence of small children. They wouldn't pay attention or make an effort. They just went where the ball was, and the little kids dodged the ball instead of catching passes. When the game finally ended, I noticed that our team had lost. I didn't care, though. No one did. We were just all glad it was over.

        今天我们如愿以偿，参加篮球夏令营的全体成员主替补轮番上阵，打满一场长达九十分钟五对五的篮球比赛。

        长话短说，整场比赛打得乱七八糟，每隔几分钟就出现犯规，其中大部分犯规都是因为年龄较小的营员不敢闯入篮下而把球传回半场造成的。还有不少进攻性犯规，由于缺乏足够的传球技术，本来应该带球迂回绕过对方球员，楞要横冲直闯以致带球撞人。技术犯规常常引发双方口角，结果大家乘兴而来，败兴而归。

        问题主要出在低年级营员身上，他们要么精力分散，要么满不在乎。实际上，这些孩子只跟着球跑来跑去，不是设法抓住球，而是见球便躲闪起来。直到终场，我才发现我们队输了。说句实话，我并非在意胜负，同伴也是如此，大家反倒庆幸球赛彻底结束。
