Chapter 135 The Decision Defining the Future 4 (1/2)

The opponents of the Elite team for this game were the Pigs team, they had a PG named Max and an SF named Alan.

These were the two strongest players on the opposing team, the Pigs team were hopeful that they could win this game because they knew that even though the Elite team won last year they still had a lot of difficulties doing so.

And the Elite team this year had two more new players than last year, so the Pigs team's opponent having a team with players all of the third year of high school shows that the school team was weak.

Jake naturally did not know any of this and was ready for the beginning of the game, soon the game began and Mark got the first possession of the ball for the Elite team, Jake received the ball and prepared to start the attack.

But when he advanced to the Max attack that was the opposing PG came to defend against Jake near the middle of the court, Jake realized this, but did not care about it and just made the pass to David.

Such pressure against a player was a bad idea to make against a PG that has only to organize the plays, soon everyone reached the line of three points and David passed the ball back to Jake who looked at the position of his teammates and passed the ball to Carter who was freer, Carter received the ball and turned to make the mid-range shot and make the first 2 points for the Elite team.

After the opponent went to make his first attack, Jake did not pressure from the middle of the block as Max and waited in the line of three points, Max advanced calmly and passed to the SG of his team that even on the strong defense of David managed to make 2 points with a mid-range shot.

Jake started another attack and Max was close to him from the start again, so Jake again gave the ball to David to advance to the attacking block near the three-point line. Jake got the ball back and fired out to make 3 points for your team.

Max did not expect that and can not even react, actually whoever told him to stay on top of Jake was the Pigs team coach who saw how Jake had made a Triple Double in the first two games and was worried about it.

But not always the data told the story of the game, Jake was not the only player on his team and did not even have to spend much time with the ball in the hands to make the moves, so the defense of Max besides bothering a bit was nonsense.

The game continued like this until the end of the first period, Jake had made 4 assists and 8 points in the attack and got 4 steals in the defense, which was almost the same as he got in the other games, the difference was that whoever was with the ball the longer it was David and not him.

The Pigs coach who saw this knew that his strategy had not worked but had nothing else to do because he realized that the other players also played well so he could not play a double game on Jake.

In fact, the coach was even underestimating Jake, even if Jake was under two-man defense he could still make the points and the plays, it was just that Jake did not think it necessary to get rid of Max.

But if it had a difference was that the difference in the score was only 6 points in the first period, this showed how the opponents were much better in the state championship, another cause of this was that Alan had managed to make 6 points in Harrison.

So in the short time that had coach Mike reprimanded Harrison a lot for that, after all, Harrison was much better in defense after these two years of training, so these points on him only showed that he should be devolved in the game.

In the second period the defense remained tight on Jake, Harrison looked more focused on defense but was not yet in his best condition, Jake gave more passes to David who managed to hit three shots from outside and make 9 points.

So when the second period ended the elite team led by 14 points and Jake had already made 14 points and 7 assists with 7 steals, meaning he was close to triple-double in that game as well.

Jake also realized that even though David was almost always the highest scorer of the team he now made almost all points with shots from outside, now he had 15 points, Harrison had not received any pass from Jake because he was being erased by the opposing defense.

So the third period began, the game was almost the same way of the second period, but Harrison seemed to have finally returned to the game, so until Jake returned to pass the ball to him, Jake was still marked by Max closely, but after making the double Double Jake made two beautiful plays and made two dunks in that period.

He did this to show how this individual defense was useless, Mark also cheered up and did a dunk too, so at the end of the third period the Elite team was 22 points ahead and the Pigs team gave up winning the game, so the game finished after the fourth period with the Elite team winning by 28 points difference.

Jake saw that Eric had not come to this game and found it a pity, he wanted to ask Eric to prepare an album for him with the pictures he took at all games, but Eric had lost that, after everyone calms down Jake was ready to go away.
