Chapter 54 The State Championship 2 (2/2)

So Eric thought about asking a few more questions and preparing well before doing another interview, so he would have the complete material to show in his column in the newspaper.

After that Jake went home and told his mother excitedly about his victory, although he did not want to show himself, he liked to see the proud smile on his mother's face, yet he wished she were just the game in the final, because she was very nervous in games and has no greater support than he would have to see her in the final.

In that game Jake could see that his 2-point shots and also his passes were more stable, and if he had to give a guess, it would be because of his recent increase in strength, he could see more and more differences in his statistics later that they were increasing, he now had more confidence that his 3-point shots would also be more successful.

In addition, Jake had many Stamina Bars stored in his inventory, so in one important game he did not need to worry about the lack of power, he still did not have enough stamina to play a full game in the NBA, plus the four periods of one playing at school was easy.

So another week quickly passed and another game went by, it was incredible that he seemed an easier opponent than the Alligators, so Jake could easily dominate the game and his team won by 24 points, some reporters and coaches already saw Jake's team as a favorite to win the championship most knew that the way they were could not win the Lions in the final.

At the end of this game, Eric appeared again and Jake stopped to welcome him.

”Would you like another interview?”

”I would like, plus we will leave to further in the championship to give time to prepare all the questions I want to ask for you, near the end would be a good time.”

”Good to know that you too are confident that our team will go far in that championship, but if you are not here for an interview do you have something you want to tell me?”

”You're pretty smart for your age, yes I wanted to tell you that you're the captain as a fan I'm cheering for a Miami team, it's a warning, for you to take care of your next opponent.”

”Oh, are they that good?”

”No, if it is to put on skill levels they are at the level of your first opponent the Alligators, what I told you to be careful of is that they do something that no one likes to see in the youngsters' championships.”

”And what is it that makes you tell me that I should prepare myself.”

”They make fouls, a lot of fouls, and they always take turns not to get kicked out, and even if they are their reserves they have almost the same skill level as the starting team, even though they do not hurt the opponent everyone knows that young players are not good myth in Free Throw, as soon as they have managed to advance to their third game, I do not know how their teammates are from Free Throw so I'm only warning in the case. ”

”Thank you, you tell me to have a week to prepare and organize a strategy.”

”I hope you win, although it's not illegal everyone likes to see an open game, so everyone should cheer for you.”

Jake was really worried now, an opponent making fouls, is the worst opponent for teams like Jake that depend on the ability of a single player, so Jake knew, only Lucas is good at Free Throw, Aiden is just average and the other two would be difficult to hit one.

So even the attack handling techniques with the signals would not work, and he could not pass on to anyone, only Aiden and Lucas can be trusted in their Free Throw, although this kind of tactic is useless in teams like the Lions, they could get quite far.

It seems that for the next game Jake would have to give up some of the team play and show off his skills that everyone wants to see because if they need Jake, the points can be considered converted.
