‘hci strategy is so non traditional. the centre quicker anyhow press balls here and there.’
if no team, no one, tries to be innovative (i.e. using other ‘strategies’), volleyball will be SO boring! there are no hard and fast rules as to how volleyball should be played. a good team would be able to counter these strategies.
HCI tried their best. Did you? Only know how to talk. U surely from west zone.
yeap we admit defeat.
why dun u try 😀
lol? did your impossible happened? Told you there is no way HCI will beat sqs. Sqs played so badly and was so slack and still, HCI could not capitalise on their form to win. sad sad
