| | ok..just got back from watching and supporting 2 VSA teams in IM volleyball playoffs competition. Very fun games.
Well, first game was Phonomenon tried to go past a
first round opponent so that they'll have a chance to face off My
Goodies, whose record was so great that they earned a bye from first
round. The Phonomenon fought gallantly with Calvin leading the
"spiking" attracks. However, the opponent proved treacherous as
their group of lighting-fast-looka-lika-Marion-Jones women repeatedly
victimized Thong's weaknesses at volleyball and thus shredded
Phonomenon's tough defense. Down but not out, Phonomenon
regrouped quickly and pulled out their secret weapon. An almost
6'5" godzilla-like monstrosity named Quoc. Blessed with an anvil
arm and an astounding desire to hurt the opposition, Quoc delivered
dozen of heavy bombs over the net. The opposition's defense,
already paper-thinned, faltered quickly as its members spent more time
dodging the balls rather than playing it. Phonomenon nevertheless
pulled out a close win to even things up at 1-1. Come game 3 of
this best of 3 series. Thong, the team's co-captain, with bruised
ego reasserted himself in the game. He proceeded to make several
stunning plays that promised to put even the most casual observer
gasping (Is that really Thong?!? No way!!). One such great play
was when Thong deciphered a coming serve, skillfully passed it to the
setter who returned a perfect arching pass so that Thong could raise up
a whopping 5 inches off the ground to smack it across the net and
ricochet it off a girl's arm. *Nice going Mr. Thong..You picked
on a girl*. Inspired by Thong's effort to redeem himself,
everyone taking turn to display amazing athletic ability as bodies
flying left and right, ball slamming/dropping short and long. The
end was also gut-wrenching as the Phonomenon closed it out with a 2
points win. Phonomenon moved on to face My Goodies in the 2nd
round. The atmosphere turned suddenly to more friendly as VSA
love was in the air. The series turned out to be more of a
practice game for our VSA teams because we're all support each other no
matter who wins. So I would rather not comment on this game
because My Goodies turned the games in to a 2-0 routing of
Phonomenon. A result that could have been other wise embarrassing
but all is happy in VSA land (except maybe a few disgruntled souls on
Phonomenon team =\ ). I hope you like our late-nite highlight of
another successful VSA sport outing. I'm Anh-Tuan, reporting from
a disturbingly cold room somewhere in Westminster. Back to you
Lyna Nguyen, KCAL 9!!
