lakers is shopping
en, just read this from Inside the Lakers blog:
“Those things start way before a player becomes available,” Buss said. “Everything we do is planning to be in a position if you can get an All-Star-caliber player to help your team go to the next level. You have to have it planned out years before.”
i don’t know why, i just have a sense that lakers will pursuit Billups, the biggest name of free-agent-to-be this summer. Phil Jackson always likes big guard which can post in the offense, and Billups is a perfect fit into lakers’ system: tough at defense, no need of many shot opportunities, decision making, and really good understanding of team basketball. the only problem will be if lakers have enough money, but as lakers, they always can find a way to make some blockbuster deals.
that’s the manutd i remembered
Sir Ferguson said afterward:
You expect champions to show nerve, determination, drive and resolve. We did that today.
central defender down, one goal down, handful chances wasted, no problem.
With so much going wrong, it would have been understandable if United had allowed their heads to drop.
But Ferguson’s team are made of much sterner stuff than that.
injuries pile up again. Vidic probably will miss one month, optimistically. United now have only backup in the back, Evra; one in the middle, Richardson. Please, no injury anymore.

spider sense
呼, 好险. 今天ABB从7:30开始整栋楼断电, 我们实验室的真空不能停, 所以昨天联系了一个工作人员, 商量好今早上7点我去实验室, 他们给我连一个备用电源. 起来一看表, 8点差5分, 连着诅咒了几声, 披上衣服就往实验室奔.
还好他们还没拉闸, 接了根备用电线把ion trap连上. 很是感谢了那些今天加班的工作人员, 他们等了我一阵子…
看来我的spider sense还有待提高, 今天幸好赶上了, 8点时候自己就突然醒了; 上次comprehensive考试复习, 约的是9点, 闹钟也没闹醒, 也是9点差几分一下子就从梦里出来了. 以后希望稍微提前点感应到才好.
two wild shots
周一, 活塞对掘金, 还有1秒, 掘金领先3分, 握有球权. 边线球发出来, Iverson球没拿稳, 反弹球到了Wallace手上, 后场接着就出手, 竟然进了. 加时, 活塞赢了.
今天, 猛龙对奇才, Arenas两次罚球后, 奇才领先3分, 还有3秒. 猛龙后场长传, 奇才Ruffin断球. 这时候Ruffin有很多选择, 他可以抱住球等时间走完或者猛龙犯规; 他可以把球抛向无人的前场浪费时间; 而他选择了兴奋的将球抛起, 直上直下那种, 还没有多高. 球落在Peterson手上, 接住在三分线外两三步的地方就是一扔, 竟然进了. 加时猛龙也赢了.
95-96 bulls
the best team in nba history?
i think so.
check this video clip out.
that’s the first full season after michael came back from his retirement. mj was still mad, for the lost in second round vs magic. when mj was mad, it’s very bad for the opponents. everyone should take a look at the play in nba final (maybe 97-98 season) in which stockton stole the ball and went to a fast break lay-up. mj was at the free throw line when stockton passed the middle line, but he caught up with stockton and blocked the ball from behind. the determination beyond description.
bulls went for 72-10 the whole season, the best record in nba history and in routing for bulls’ fourth championship.
update: apparently someone think otherwise.
tired
上周末跑完步, 虽然没用全力, 可回来后还是累啊. 连着三个晚上, 脑袋挨着枕头就入了梦境了, 早上还费了九牛二虎的劲才能从床上爬起来…
周六一起去满江红搓了一顿, 然后打牌; 周日去凡龙家吃喷香的包子, 干了大概八个, 然后打牌. 好久没打了, 技术都不熟练了, 看来以后还得加强练习.
昨天多大的James来做了个CAP的报告, 跑去听了听, 差点睡着了. 并不是报告不好, 而是实在累了. 希望这几天精神稍微好点.
这几天物理系的人突然流行起facebook, 不知道为什么?
around the bay relay
早上七点半起来, 洗澡, 去Tim Hortons买了个breakfast sausage当早饭, 然后出发去laura家. 赶到出发地点的时候大概9点10分, 热热身, 没多久就开跑了. 今天天气预报说是有太阳的, 一直没出来, 风吹起来的话有点冷, 没风的时候正好. 听广播介绍, toronto著名的joggler这次也来跑around the bay.
发了大概两分钟才到起点, 人太多也没法加速, 就跟着人流, 不知不觉就过了2k. 人群中有一个穿着一个recycle bin做的蓝色裙子; 还有一队relay的消防队员, 穿着厚实的救火服. 路边上经常有一帮小孩帮忙加油, 很是可爱. 6k的时候打算加加速, 没加起来, 还是轻松点跑吧. 10k用了大概55分钟, pace还没有以前的半程马拉松快, 
把chip交给andrew, 祝他好运. 拿了杯水, 休息了一阵子就坐车回到downtown, 进COPPS COLISEUM, 第一名竟然已经跑完了, 嘿嘿, 太强了, 好像创了赛会记录. 在场地里坐了坐, 瞻仰了一下一帮子1小时40分的牛人.
laura完成的时间是2小时50分35秒. 不错, 成绩在这里:

thanks to andrew, to run the fast leg; thanks to laura, to come up the dorkiest team name PZT.
drunk and run
after two soccer games yesterday, i went to the after comps party at a friend’s house. i didn’t get anything to eat, which is very bad thing to do before going to a drinking party :-(. i had a couple of shots, beers and wine, and totally lost afterward. wake up this morning and felt sick, and very very hungry…
went to pick up the race kit for the around the bay 30k this morning. they got a very nice yellow-greenish long-sleeve new balance shirt this year, much better than the last year one. two of my friends: laura and andrew and me are gonna try the 3-person relay, which should be fun. still felt a little bit sick after last year’s 30k, hehe, you really have to be fully prepared for a long-distance race. the weather forecast is sunny to partly cloudy, 11 degree, perfect for running. hopefully we can get a good run tomorrow.
btw, ran into pat when i was at the race pickup place. he’s gonna run the whole 30k. and one of the workers near our lab is also gonna try the 30k. good luck! rest well and have fun running.
