Chapter 94 National Championship 6 (1/2)

But Jake who was the captain of his team had the courage and called David a few weeks ago to talk about a problem.

Jake said he realized that sometimes David in some games was very agitated without realizing and soon lost control and lost his head a little and did not defend right and played well with the team and just wanted to know to score points and win.

David had never noticed this before Jake mentioned it, and since David's previous team was full of players who were weaker than him, his teammates did not mind that David did it all by himself sometimes.

But since the Elite team had better players like David and also had a PG equal to Jake who liked to be able to totally control the team in the game, they could not ignore it anymore, and Jake had to talk to David.

David who did not know this before understood that this was wrong in a basketball game and promised that he would be careful not to do it anymore, but in this game, as the opponent was stronger and challenging, David unknowingly began to lose control and Jake who realized did not pass the ball to him.

But Jake knew he could not stay the whole game with a player unless he could count on the attack and so he decided to talk to David.

”Now I understood what I did wrong, I'm sorry it will not happen the same in the third period.”

Seeing that it was not intended and that David apologized and said he was going to change Jake did not want to continue with this subject.

”Well, try to control yourself, I need to count on you to attack so we can go to the final.”

So David nodded vigorously saying that he had understood, he had been thrilled that Jake not only did not quarrel with him but also said that the team needed him for this game, now David would fight more for the win.

So in the third period, the Dogs team went all the way up to try to score more points and victory in the game, Elite team defense also put more pressure, especially David who received a vote of confidence and Carter who was annoyed at not being able to steal any ball until now.

So Mike who also had confidence in his team passed the ball to Troy, David tightened more in the score but Troy just turned the body and made a 2-point shot, despite striving David's strength was not in the defense.

Jake also knew this and patted David on the back to encourage and started the attack, who saw the game and even though that Jake was comforting David who was having a bad game since he did not pass the ball to David.

When Jake reached the three-point line he stopped, Mike was intent on not being passed without realizing it, Troy who scored David was still intent on his defense even though David did not receive any pass in the game.

Even though Jake passed the ball to David, so David who had received the confidence of his captain remained calm but was full of energy, and so he made a feint when Troy just shook David sped and made a dribble for Troy.

Troy tried to recover but David had already gone and ran to do a layup and his first 2 points in the game, Jake had a lot of expectation in David's potential if David learned to channel his energy and use in his plays with a calmer mind he would become an excellent SG.

Although the Dogs team saw David score they did not care about it, so Mike started another attack and soon advanced to the three-point line, Mike had already realized that David seemed full of morale and will for some reason and so passed to Lucas attack.

Carter saw that Jake should have managed to calm David at half-time and thought the victory was practically decided, but he felt ashamed not to have stolen any ball in that game as soon as Lucas received the ball Carter instead of tightening the mark gave space.

Lucas, seeing that he had space, did not have to turn or defend the ball and just gave the shot and scored the 2 points, Jake went and started another attack and passed the ball again to David who received and gave the shot from outside to make the 3 points.
