Chapter 153 The National High School Championship 10 (1/2)

After Jake got the ball and went to the attack again, after reaching the three-point lineup Jake did not wait and made the shot out to make 3 more points for the Elite team, the opponent's PG was very weak so Jake had not been careful when attacking.

The Foxes team went to the attack again, the opposing PG passed the ball to Mason again, that Mason did not turn on Carter anymore as he turned away, after facing the basket he made the mid-range shot and made 2 more points for his team.

Jake picked up the ball and went back to the attack and the three-point line, so he passed the ball to David, David made a feint pretending that he would go inside the three-point line, but then returned where he was and made the off to make 3 more points for the Elite team.

So the crowd began to realize that the strategy of the Elite team was to make the shots off and try to gain the advantage with several 3-point plays, but everyone knew that this was a difficult thing even for the NBA teams, so it was a risky strategy.

Even though Eric knew Jake had an average of 80 percent of hits in the 3-point play, some argued that it was because Jake was not playing well in the games, but it did not change the fact that Jake had more than 40 shots out this season, which meant that Jake averaged nearly 3 shots per game.

So the 80 percent average was amazing with all these attempts, David was worse and had an average of 40 percent, but David did more than 60 shots from outside, so it was also good for someone in high school.

The opposing PG was again to the three-point line in another attack and passed the ball to Elijah, Elijah realized that as Jake was defending against him the Elite team was giving importance to him.

So he was happy with that, but he was angry too because he knew he could score more points if David was still on defense, so if Jake was on defense he would have fewer chances to score, but even so, he was not too worried about Jake.

Even though Jake was very good at the defense he was also very good at attacking, even when he plays one-on-one with Mason and Jackson in training he can score many points on them.

So Elijah tried to fake Jake, but no matter how many times he tried Jake was not coupling, so Elijah made a dribble in Jake using his speed, but Jake who was paying close attention in the move accompanied, when Elijah thought he had passed Jake and relaxed Jake made the steal and stole the ball.

So Jake was with just the PG opponent on the way and accelerated as Jake was very fast he ran up to the attacking block and no one can accompany him so he just stopped after doing the dunk and 2 more points for his team.

Elijah had not suffered many steals in his games, but he knew it was a common thing in the games and admitted that he had been careless after going through Jake, yet he had not given up making his plays and making the points for his team.

The Foxes team's PG reached the three-point line for the attack and saw Elijah asking for the ball, the PG who also trusted Elijah passed the ball to him, Elijah got the ball happy and used his speed to pass behind the SF of his team disrupting Jake in that move, when he had space made the mid-range shot to make 2 more points for the Foxes team.

Jake did not mind that, not even the best NBA supporters can stop the opponent's attack in every move, Jake went to the three-point line and passed the ball to Harrison.

Harrison managed to get rid of the opponent's SF and made the mid-range shot to make 2 more points for the Elite team, it was not because Jake decided to make more shots from outside to the team with David that he would not make other moves.

The game continued like this and finished the second period with the Elite team winning by 3 points of difference, Jake did manage to hit the 4 shots from the outside that tried to make 12 points in that period, David got 3 of the 5 shots he tried and he did 9 points.

Jake was now with 22 points and 9 assists in the game, in addition, he managed to do 4 steals in that period of play, 3 of them were in Elijah, yet nothing was guaranteed in that game, the Foxes team thought the Elite team was lucky and they could recover in the next period.
