Chapter 69 Going to New Ways 5 (1/2)

Jake grabbed the ball and quickly made a step back, David advanced to try a block thinking that Jake would try a shot, but Jake just kept the ball and made David unbalanced and so did a cross jab pretending he would go right to going to the left.

After going through two dribbles so David lost his balance and almost fell, but he stood up determinedly just to see Jake quietly going toward the basket to score a layup and make the third point.

After two moments of carelessness Jake had already scored 3 points, and David had to admit that this 12-year-old was better than him, yet he did not give up and Jake continued to score points.

When Jake could not give a dribble he would only open space and give a shot to mark the point, it is worth mentioning that after so much training Jake could now jump and immediately give the shot without having to adjust much, was his strong base with the shot without a jump.

So who was more stressed was to be a scorer as David was after all Jake had many resources to score the points because he had no teammates if adding his assists would be difficult to steal the ball of his possession.

But that left David more excited to improve, after all, he had a tough opponent to hit, after a while, Jake was 1 point to finish the game but missed a shot of 3 and David recovered the ball.

David was excited to try the reaction and after trying a feint and opening a spice he gave a 3-point shot, but Jake looks like he was already expecting and almost managed to give a block, but still touched the ball by pulling it out of the direction of the basket.

Jake ran and gained possession again and then scored the last game.

David was more excited after losing this game instead of being depressed and soon approached Jake.

”You really are good, but this year I'm going to a stronger school and I'm excited to win the national championship this year, and I'll give you the change there.”

”I do not think you're going to get my school, you're also determined to win this year and you've invested a lot, I do not think you have any chances.”

”Then tell me which school you're going to play so I know which team to expect to defeat.”

”It's the Elite school in Miami, so we certainly will not meet in the region at least.”

When David heard the name of Jake's school his smile quickly left his face and changed to a grimace.

”Then we will not be able to meet as opponents in the nationals.”

Jake was surprised by this change of attitude of David and did not understand why he said this, after all how he participated in the team that went to the national last year he was very aware that there would be no opponents this year.

”Because you said that, do you know anything about the Elite school that I do not know?”

”Yes, I know a lot, because they called me to study there too, so let's be teammates this school year.”

Jake was quite taken aback by this turn of events, the strongest player in the national league age here was David, and if he is his teammate regardless of who the opponent was, he was confident of winning.

So unlike David, Jake was very happy with this news, it seems the trophy was closer now, and Jake did not think he needed a rival to motivate himself to improve, only his mother was reason enough, to give pride to her and earn money for a stable life.

”That was really good news, I now have more confidence in winning the national championship this year with you on my team.”

”But are not you an SG too? We're going to have to play a position or some of us play as SF. ”

”No I'm the PG of the team, you're too good to be my reserve so it's impossible for you to be in the same position as mine.”

”Are you a PG? I do not think it fits, with your 3-shot and your dribble you should be an SG. ”

”That's because you did not see me organize plays and command the team, then you'd change your mind.”
