Chapter 39 A Star Is Born 5 (1/2)

Of course David did not know that he was responsible for Jake becoming more complete as a basketball player and that this move he used in him now would be one of the moves that would make Jake known, and if he knew that it would not necessarily make him happier anyway nobody liked to be the wheeled stone of someone.

The only thing David thought now was that he was wrong and Jake knew how to use the steal for a long time because the weather was perfect, if Jake was not so meticulous he would have learned that movement for a long time after all his ball time was always great.

More so Jake regained possession of the ball and as David was shocked Jake tied the game and continued with the possession of the ball.

This made David very bitter, as he had seen that Jake was very bad at the defense he had thought of making as many points as he could before he lost possession of the ball and would try his best after losing to regain possession again, so it would be a tight game more he would win.

Plus he could never have thought that Jake only allowed him to make a point and soon would draw, and all this by a mistake of judgment of him, but he was also impressed with the talent that Jake was showing, for him Jake looked like an onion when you peeled one layer had another underneath, and if you could peel several, you would cry.

But he soon recovered and pressed in the defense to try to recover the ball.

Jake also had to calm down, he was very excited now, the real motive of Jake trying to participate in the 1-on-1 competition even though he could not win was to try to achieve this ability, and for Jake to achieve this skill was the most important win the trophies or prize money.

After all, now that Jake learned the steal even if it's F rank now, it could develop rapidly in his Imagination Training, and there too the games would be more complete and more challenging than before.

So he would not be embarrassed when he joined the school team and would not have to ask someone to teach him.

So Jake was trying to get a way through David, but David was a good defender if Jake was the best in the attack of this tournament, so David was the best on defense.

After a fake attempt Jake brought the ball closer to his body again, unlike before, Jake was hitting the ball at the height of his waist and this is because he could not make the ball hit lower as before to be able to change direction and get their dribbles.

More Jake did not do this from the beginning not because he was hiding his talents more because he knew that with this style of possession the opponent would have the opportunity to steal his ball.

So just when he saw that he could not do it any other way Jake started to play like that.

So David saw an opening and tried to steal the ball, but this opening was a trap for Jake, so David stretched his arm Jake threw the ball over David's head and ran to the basket to do the layup.

This is not a move that anyone has to do because it has to have a great precision of judgment, good reflexes, and speed of muscle explosion to make the move before the opponent reacts.

And when David realized he was cheated, the ball was already in the basket, of course now David was not going to allow a play of this to happen again, but Jake did this just to ensure that he would be ahead of the board so David would have the highest pressure as time went by and made more mistakes.

The game continued to play and whenever David made a mistake Jake quickly dribbled and would make the point, so soon the game was 4 to 1 for Jake.

The time was passing and David was already sweating nervously, so he made another mistake and Jake went to the basket to do another layup, when David saw that Jake was going to make another point and increase the advantage he ran and without caring to make a foul tried to block Jake's layup and succeeded, Jake did not expect a block at that time and lowered his guard.

This was an important thing that David achieved with this block, in addition to preventing Jake from making another point and regaining possession of the ball he left Jake apprehensive in trying to do inside scoring because he could take a block by the height difference.

So David did 2 points with layups and then Jake managed to steal the ball again, this time Jake did not try so actively to go to the basket and thought if he was going to try to make room for a 2-point shot, but David was tightening the mark and not space.
