Chapter 84 An Unexpected Game 2 (1/2)

Realizing this all of Jake's team were shocked for a moment, from where the Lions teams got the idea that Jake for some reason could not score points after all this was just a normal game.

But what Jake did not know was that many teams were discussing why Jake did not try to score a point in any game, although many thought he had no particular reason some thought differently.

Many teams that included the Lions thought they had a different reason for it and this reason could be either an injury that would stop him from forcing the body or anything of the sort, the important thing was that after the flaw was discovered in the game style of Jake and what a solution to that was scoring by zone many saw this as an opportunity.

If for some reason Jake really could not score any point he could pull a player out of his mark to score another player in double could be the key to winning the game, and if Jake were replaced there would be no need to defend by zone.

And if Jake could score normally it was just back to normal defense, the reason that many did not do this before is that they knew that if Jake could even score and was forced to start making points, the Elite team's greatest strength would be active.

Because so far no player has been seen who could stop Jake, even in the game he was eliminated last year Carter who was one of the best in defense stood defenseless in the defense against him.

But this game was the final, so the Lions team had to risk everything, when Jake received the ball from Harrison he saw that the PG was not coming even to mark it, Jake did not necessarily need to score, he could just pass the ball to another player as he did before giving the pass to Mark.

But for him, it was unacceptable to let other players on his team get pressured on his whim, so Jake got the ball and shot the 3-point line.

When they saw that the joy and confidence that had the coach and the Lions team had ended while the opponents who had lost to the Elite team rejoiced in secret after all they would also think that they had lost a chance to win the game if they knew that Jake really could not score.

So the Elite team scored another 3 points and the Lions team went to the attack tenser, Daniel who was setting up another attack realized the distraction of David and was shot off to make 3 more points.

Despite not having an advantage in the attack he was not weak in defense either, Jake went to the attack again and gave a pass to David who this time did not receive a double mark and when he took a step back he shot outside and did another 3 points for the team.

The crowd was excited by this game filled with 3-point baskets which was rare to see in a Middle School game, who was not happy about it were the Lions who increasingly lost their previous confidence in the victory.

They knew that Jake could shoot 3, but did not know that David could as well, so they would not have any advantage, so the game continued excited and at the end of the first period Jake's team won by 5 points.

The two teams could get 3-point shots, so it was to see who missed before when the Lions team missed an attack, Jake only organized a normal attack and his team would get the 2 points, but when the Lions hit the 3 points Jake and David tried to reciprocate.

But it was a fact that David's aim was greater than that of the Lions players and Jake was even better, so any strategy that could be for an absolute victory has now been broken, so it was a game of friction.

Jake and his team-mates were also surprised by the tenacity and skill of the Lions, they were having a difficult game at the end, which means that the Lions could do well this year in the national championship if it were not for the Elite team.

Jake really felt a little bad because thanks to him going back in time the Lions lost two state championship trophies and his players missed the chance to make good memories.

He knew it would be like that in the future, he himself was a walking butterfly effect, he would change several things and change the lives of some people for the better and without wanting the lives of other people for the worse.
