Chapter 126 Change in Situation 4 (1/2)

In fact Jake had already thought that when he was younger to play 1 against 1 it was easier than 3 against 3, but now it seemed that it was different when he was getting older, this is because the opponents scored better and even if you had more skill was not so easy to make the points.

But in the 3 against 3, you could use the help of your teammates to disengage from your opponents to make the points, as Jake had to whom to pass the ball the opponent could not score much over and Jake had space to do the dribble or the shot from outside.

Jake passed to David and when his defender distracted he ran into the inside area, David saw this and passed the ball back, Jake received and ran alone to make the 2 points with a dunk.

After Jake's dunk the crowd started to cheer more, Mark who was the top of the team got excited too and after Jake passed the ball he ran and did the dunk too.

Jake looked at David as if asking if he wanted to try as well, but David shook his head, it seemed David did not want to try too, after a few more plays Jake's team won and went to the final.

After the game was over he asked David why he did not want to try it either.

”It's not everyone who knows how to do everything just like you, I can not get the time to do the dunk and mistake often.”

”Do not worry about it, it's just you train for longer and you'll be able to make the dunk better and better.”

”I hope you're right, but it's not like I play less for not being able to do the dunk, so I do not care that much either.”

Jake realized that David just said it because he was being proud, but he could not do anything to help his friend, many things in basketball have no way to be trained and the player has to be born with this talent.

The teams had a chance to take a break before the final game, many were tired of playing all day, but Jake's team was relaxed because, in addition to being more accustomed to longer games, their tournament matches ended faster than others.

After half an hour the game of the final would finally begin this time the ball started in the possession of the opponents of Jake's team, their point guard passed the ball to the player who was being defended by David, David had been much better in defense after two years of training.

So this player had difficulty passing through David, Jake approached him discreetly and when he saw a chance he stole the ball behind the player who was focused on David.

So Jake returned to arm the attack, he passed the ball to Mark who was freer than David, Mark went to make the points but his opponents came in two to stop him, so Mark passed the ball to David who had been alone, David made the mid-range shot and scored 2 points for his team.

After playing for a while without Jake the players got used to not being so dependent on a PG and passing the ball to the other players as well, Jake thought this was a good thing because it made the team more dynamic.

In another attack, Jake made a step back and made the shot from outside to make 3 more points for his team, in another move Jake passed to Mark and received back to do the dunk, and in another, he passed to Mark to do the dunk and plus 2 points for staff.

They played a lot of games together so the moves were easier, David was better scored so he did not receive many passes from Jake, within minutes they made the 21 points more easily and won the game.

Even though they won this championship they were not so happy after all these games were defeated very easily, but still had some fun and see how they were to the skills of their teammates.

They received the trophy and took some pictures, but this tournament was not very big and would not be published in the newspaper and did not even appear on television, which is why Clara said she did not need Jake to wear the uniform with the sponsorship.

The three of them were happy to have won after having stayed so long without playing together, it was a good memory these photos and this trophy.

Jake came home after that and told Eva that he had won the tournament and she was happy as always for her son, so Jake smiled too, Eva did not care if the tournament had been difficult or easy she liked to see Jake winning.

Jake rested after a long day with a smile on his face.

After playing this tournament Jake thought about retaking his vacation when he decided to take a walk in the mall to get distracted a bit, after walking for a while and buy a box of chocolate for his mother he stopped at a snack bar before going to House.

After picking up his lunch he searched for a place to sit and saw only one table at the back of the diner, but when he got there he saw that there was someone he knew sitting near that table and decided to greet.

”Hi Jenny, how long have not we seen each other.”

”Jake, I did not think I'd see you around here, we just stayed a long time without seeing you because you did not call me as you promised.”
