Chapter 115 The Tournament in Europe 3 (1/2)

Jake was expecting a difficult game when he saw Miguel's game before, although, despite Jake knowing how to defend well he still had not learned to use his strength to attack, he had to remember to ask Mark to teach him.

Miguel was again to attack and after realizing that he could not get past Jake, he made a mid-range shot again, the ball entered again, so Miguel won by 2 points now.

Miguel was not satisfied with that either because he knew that some time would go wrong, this was not his style of play, even though he had to keep trying, Jake was still firm in defense, he was waiting for Miguel to miss.

After trying to get past Jake again unsuccessfully he tried another mid-range shot and the ball went up again for 1 more point, Miguel liked to have a 3-point advantage in such a difficult game.

So in another attack he tried another shot mid-range and missed this time, Jake was quick to pick up the rebound and start his first attack in the game, after going to 3-point line Miguel was already attentive in defense, Miguel's stance was much more confident in defense where he was better.

Jake made a comeback and took the shot from outside, so he scored 2 points and reduced Miguel's lead. on the scoreboard for 1 point.

Miguel did not expect Jake to take the shot outside and so he let Jake take the shot quietly, but the next he would be higher, Jake realized that too, so he tried some feints and Miguel did not fall into any.

So Jake pretended that he would make a feint and sped to Miguel, Miguel tried to go after Jake, but without success and so Jake did another 1 point with the layup.

So Jake had tied the game, Miguel did not like it, but now he could not ignore the feints of Jake that could be played real, so Jake tried the feint again and Miguel rocked a little, then Jake accelerated again.

This time Miguel was aware and tried to block Jake, Jake soon makes the crossover and be able to change the direction of his race quickly, Miguel cannot react to this and can only see Jake do another 1 point with the layup.

Miguel had to admit that Jake was a tough opponent, but he had a way to deal with opponents so when Jake went to attack again he saw that Miguel seemed to be giving Jake a way, and that was it.

This was a kind of challenge Miguel made for his opponents that he thought he could not win normally, he allowed the opponent to try the layup and he would try the block that was what he did better, if the opponent could score the points would be sincerely admired and if he blocked it he would have the chance to win.

Now it depended on whether Jake would accept the challenge or not, Jake decided to try, his layup was rank S and so he was confident in getting the points, so Jake ran along the path that Miguel opened and Miguel accompanied.

Jake went to the inside area to make the layup, Miguel was aware went up to try the block too, but Jake had already made the move and just put the ball to make the point, this time Miguel was slower and Jake won.

Miguel left the space again and Jake attacked again, this time Jake made another move with his hand at the time of the layup and managed to fool Miguel and make the point, so Jake was already winning from 6 to 3.

To make a block correctly the defender has to get a good time, if the defender is very slow the attacker makes the point and if the defender is very fast the attacker can change the way to attack or try to get a foul.

If the attacker knows in advance that the defender is going to try to block the move, it is much more advantageous for the attacker, so Jake accepted the challenge, and Miguel also knew that and yet he was confident in himself.

After Jake's first two attacks, Miguel could figure out which time would be right to make the block, so Jake went to the attack again, more confident after doing 2 points Jake went to the layup, Miguel made block at the right time, like Jake had a great speed of reaction after increasing his agility he tried to avoid the block and tried to make the point before.
