Chapter 150 The National High School Championship 7 (1/2)
David received the ball from Jake and used his speed to get out of the opponent's SG and ran to do the layup and 2 points for the Elite team, David knew he had done badly in the last game but it was just his physical condition that was not very good.
After the last game, he went to the hospital and saw that he had the flu and feverishly played the game, yet he knew that he had disappointed his teammates by not taking care of himself, so they almost lost the game.
Jake said that he trusted him but David knew that everyone was disappointed as he, so he promised himself that he would do his best in the next games, he would help the team to win that national championship.
Daniel saw that David looked good and was a bit disappointed, yet he recovered and advanced to the three-point line, so he moved on to the PF of his team, now he wanted to test if Carter was well on defense as well.
The PF tried to make the turn and saw Carter trying to steal the ball, so the PF pulled away and forced the mid-range shot to make the 2 points for his team, seeing that Daniel realized that Carter looked good for that game too.
Jake advanced to the line of three points and passed the ball to Mark this time, Mark received the pass and made a feint and then a turn to make the layup and score 2 points for his team, the opponent's opponent was lost with this move.
Daniel got the ball to organize another attack for the Bats team, it seemed that luck was not on their side and all Elite players were fine for today's match, reaching the three-point line Daniel passed to Alexander.
Alexander got the ball off the three-point line and Harrison was far away hoping he would get in the three-point line to make the attack, but Alexander made the shot from outside and made 3 more points for his team.
Jake grabbed the ball and advanced and before the three-point line took the shot out to make 3 more points for his team, Daniel just tried to disrupt Jake's shot, but it was useless, Jake was taller and jumped too well to do the shot movement, so it was difficult for a lower player to defend.
Jake suffered for a long time to be smaller than his opponents, now was the time for him to take advantage of his size to make more points, he hoped to grow taller until graduation in high school, after all, he was bigger than in his past life that he only reached 1.85 m tall, so he just hoped for how much more he would grow.
Daniel did not bother with that, he knew he could not do much defense against Jake in that game, at least he wanted to mess up all the moves he could, Daniel advanced to the three-point line and saw that Alexander was being defended by Harrison , but Carter and Jake had their eye on the defense.
So Daniel passed the ball to the SG of his team, David put pressure on the defense and the opponents PG had more difficulty in making the play, so the PG tried to pass to Alexander that was unmarked again, but Jake managed to read well the move and intercepted the pass.
Watching this happen Daniel was angry, he saw that Jake was intent on the move, but he did not expect the SG of his team to give up on the move and move to Alexander, that was one of the reasons that Jake liked that all the moves passed through his hands.
Jake who had caught the ball advanced to the three-point line, he waited a bit and passed the ball to Mark, Mark who received the ball advanced and did the layup to make 2 more points for his team.
Daniel took the ball and advanced to the three-point line, this time he did not want to risk and passed the ball to Alexander, Alexander made a feint and used his speed to pass by Harrison and ran to the inner area to do the layup and 2 points for your team.
Jake got the ball and organized another attack for the Elite team, this time he passed the ball to David, David threatened to run inside, but instead made a step back and made the shot from outside to score another 3 points for his team.
The game continued like this until the end of the first period of the game, Jake had made 7 points and 5 assists, in addition, he managed to do 3 steals in that first period, the Elite team was with an advantage of 8 points against the Bats team.
