Chapter 146 The National High School Championship 3 (1/2)
After bringing Anna back home Jake also went back to his house, he dined with Eva who did not ask where he was all day.
Even in her past life, Eva was very liberal with the way she treated Jake, she never asked where he was going, even the times he'd been away from home all the more so in this life that Eva knew Jake was very responsible.
If Eva were not like that, it would be much harder for Jake to make the surprises for her.
In the classes the team was training as if the next game was the final, Mark no longer wanted to train with Jake and teach things to him, it was frustrating to see how in a few months Jake had already learned everything he knew.
So he did not want to continue training until Jake defeated him when Mark refused to train him, Jake realized that he had already learned everything he could from Mark, so now it was time to play Center as an imaginary trainer.
If Jake could do this for a few months he was sure he could dominate the position, after Mark said that he learned some of his techniques playing and experienced, in experience Jake would not lose to anyone with the system helping.
In addition to being able to learn more about defending and attacking in the inside area, Jake could also train block and rebound in that position, so he only had to gain from it.
After a few more days the third game day arrived, Jake had breakfast with Eva and soon went to the place of the game, when he arrived in the gym he saw that his teammates had already arrived for that game.
Unlike what was normally all the players were more tense in this game, Jake did not know if this was good or bad, but he was sure that his team could play as always.
After a while the two teams were ready to start the game, the opposing team was the Cats, the best players of the Cats were the PG, the PF, and the SG.
The PG of the team is called James and was a player lower than the others, but he seemed to be very fast, the SG was called Fred, was a very good player in the shots from outside, and the PF of the team of Cats was the highlight of the team, he is called Liam and he was good in both the attack and the defense besides being almost 1.90 m in height.
Jake hoped the performance of his teammates would be very good because the opponents appear to be strong, after a while the game started, Liam was the one who won the ball for the Cats team early in the game.
The ball was passed to PG James who advanced calmly to organize the attack, after reaching the line of three points James passed the ball to his team's SF, Harrison who was in the defense was excited to perform well today.
After all, because of the Philips coach he cannot play and had to see the team lose in that third game last year, the SF of the opposing team realized that they could not pass through Harrison and passed the ball back to James.
James, who was pressured by Jake's defense, passed the ball quickly to his team's Center, Mark, who had performed well in all games, gave no room for the opponent, so Center forced a mid-range shot just to miss the attack.
Carter grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Jake, Jake who saw the Cats' defense slow to come back began to run into the line of attack, Jake was faster than all the players on the court and quickly passed by the Defenders of the Cats team before half of the court.
James who saw Jake running was also fast and being the last player in the defense of the Cats team now ran to stop Jake's attack, Jake ran up after the three-point line when James arrived he made a sudden stop and then the crossover.
James could not stop so fast and was removed from the play, so Jake advanced again and made the dunk to make the first two points of the Elite team, after seeing this incredible move the fans began to cheer for the Elite team.
No team had people who really cheered for them, which they had were people who liked basketball, so it was normal that the team that made the most exciting moves would have more fans.
