After that game coach wanted to celebrate as he treated us to dinner once again, he saw how hard we played even though he knew I was holding back since I wasn't shooting much in the game and dunking most of the time. Still, regardless everybody was quite tired after that game; Aldrich, on the other hand, was pretty relaxed as he didn't play that hard in the game. Whenever Manuel would come in the post, Aldrich would move out of his way, and I honestly couldn't blame him for that.
During the celebration, the coach told us that we all should go and watch the semi-final game, which was between the Marines and China, and that it should be a heated game. Quite the crowd was going to be showing up, even though we weren't the ones playing we were a little bit excited to see that match up and since we had already advanced to the finals, one of those teams would be moving on to face us in the finals.
