Chapter 74 Walking Back to Top 1 (1/2)

After his mother finished preparing the dishes Jake moved to make the decorations and last preparations to be able to finish the plate.

Many women who were on the course including the teacher thought that Jake was just looking and that Eva would prepare the entire dish, but when Jake started they realized that he had more skills in the kitchen than many of them.

Even the teacher who showed how to make the dish was surprising after all this was the first time she showed this dish and the others were doing just the same, but Jake was making the decorations the way she did with ease.

Of course, he did not do it with the same delicacy as she who prepared these dishes years ago as a pro, but it was still incredible.

After Eva promised to go back to do other classes they went away, Jake had told his mother that as she had liked it so much she should come in days he was in school to not get bored at home, and when it was weekend it would come with her.

Eva liked the idea and promised to come 3 times during the week, Jake was happy because one of the things he had the most regret was that his mother was very lonely and did not have many friends and did not leave the house without him.

So now she would have a hobby and so could make friends who had the same preferences, just as Eva was with Jake he was also happy when his mother was well.

After a few more days it was the day of the first regional championship game this year, unlike last year Jake had come with a much stronger team, but now he was much more worried than before as he knew it was his last chance.

His teammates did not look very nervous in their turn, they liked basketball, but winning the national championship was not a goal for them.

The team that they would face had been eliminated in the second round last year so it could be said that it was a weaker team, Jake began to calm down more only when he was already on the court, he knew that at that time no point in getting nervous anymore.

The game began and Mark won the ball pass to his team and handed the ball to Jake to start organizing the first play, Jake started to run while his teammates began to organize an attack.

The opposing team's markers only kept away from Jake until he reached the 3-point line, only after his marker began to press, his other already-positioned teammates were being heavily scored as well.

Jake just made a few signs and for the defenders last night's nightmare if Jake's team players quickly changed their position and the scorers were confused.

Jake took a break from the mark and gave the assist to Harrison who had been freer, and so Harrison accelerated and did the layup scoring the first two points of the team in the championship.

Jake's team quickly returned to their defense court and positioned themselves to the other team who already hoped to concede many points did not care and just attacked when they got close to the line of defense form marked strongly by Jake's team.

But they still managed to trade passes until they found their SF more free to score points with a 2-yard shot and tie the game.

Jake again organized the attack, the same as last year Jake still controlled the pace of the game as PG and made it more supportive for his team, but different from last year he maintained a fast pace and not a slow.

He knew his teammates could handle this pace until the end of the game, but the same could not be said about their opponents, so in that attack, the opposing defense did not position itself quickly and Jake passed to Mark to do the layup and 2 more points.

This fast pace was the way Jake liked to control the game, it was better to get a defense unprepared or at least to put more pressure on the opponent's defense, and with fast players like David and Harrison, the game would quickly become one-sided.

So the two teams attacked and studied Jake's team did not miss any attack, but the same could not be said about his opponent, with great pressure from Jake's teammates and also lacking skills they missed 3 attacks and after the first period Jake's team led by 6 points.
