Chapter 75 Walking Back to Top 2 (1/2)

He knew he could be considered hypocritical, but he had this feeling now, after all, he did not want to see the school he played in so badly.

Even so, there was nothing he could have done from what he heard from some former classmates the team from his old school was very weak this year, although Jake's team was considered weak last year this was considering the level of the national championship but even without it was a team that could reach the state.

So when he heard that he was weak he did not take many into account, but now he understood that his friend said he was weak compared at the regional level, but that also meant that he would not have to face the dilemma of facing his former team in a game.

After he went home he told everything he was thinking to his mother.

”You're not being hypocritical, my son, it's just that you have a good heart, I'd think it would be a lot worse if you just cared about winning and do not mind your old school.”

”I understand that, but I still misunderstand.”

”It's okay, just win the national championship this year and so in your head, you will make sure that your decision to change schools has been successful.”

Jake decided to believe what his mother said and went to rest, it could be that in addition to feeling sad for having changed school he was unsure whether this was a wise decision, because it affected not only him but also his friend and his mother.

After that, Jake went to school and told the same thing to Joseph, and coincidentally he said almost the same thing as his mother said, so Jake took that as true since two people said the same thing.

In class, the teachers still seemed to bother with Jake reading books from other subjects in the classroom, but after seeing that he'd gotten all the questions asked, they decided to wait to see their test results.

Jake did not care about it, he really did not think the classes important with him already knew the matters, taking the best grades possible was something he only did to make his mother proud, she gave Jake much freedom to do whatever he wanted as long as he gets good grades.

So during the week before the game, Jake would always go to workouts to review some tactics and also see how the training of his colleagues was being done and if they needed their councils.

That was another difference from this and his old team, although Jake knew that everyone was skillful, he liked to give advice to his old teammates like Luke and Owen and watch their growth from game to game every week.

But in this team, although everyone had their failures were things that would not show great improvements in a few games, who else could improve and trained a lot was David practicing his 3-point shots.

Jake could see that he was improving and had more confidence in him to pass the ball in important games to try the shot of 3, it was good to be able to trust his teammates.

As soon as the third match arrived, Jake could no longer distinguish whether his opponent was good or not because they always played the same way, after all, they had many teams that were good at the regional level, but Jake's team was all of it at the national level.

So the ball started with the possession of Jake's team, he soon ran with the ball along with his teammates and just waited for everyone to position themselves, then made an assist as Carter scored the first two points with a layup.

After the first game coach, Mike told the whole team to score as strong as possible from the start of the game so the opposing team would be pressured by the strength of their team and would tend to miss more attacks.

And even if the attacks did not go wrong, some of Jake's players had good defensive skills and steals a lot of balls and when the opponent arrived to do the layup, Mark and Carter took turns and blocked the attacks.
