Chapter 156 An Exciting Final 3 (1/2)

At least during the training sessions in the weeks before the final the team seemed focused and excited for the final game, Jake had confidence in his teammates as well.

These days Jake always did his private training too, every day he played as Center in his training of the imagination, he was confident that he learned a lot, maybe in a few more months, he could even play in position.

Jake was sure that this experience could help him a lot in his game as PG, he could read much more easily the changes of Mark and Carter and also of his opponents.

After a few days, the day of the national championship final had finally arrived, Jake woke up very early and went down to eat Eva's breakfast, it was a full table as always and Jake ate happily.

After that Jake and Eva changed and packed up their things and then went to the playground, Jake was very happy to have his mother going with him to watch this final game, giving him another incentive so that he could win.

After arriving at the game site Jake saw that all his teammates had already arrived, Eva can also find Anna in the stands and went to sit next to her.

Jake could also see Joseph and Oliver in the stands until Matthew had seen to see this game, Jake could see Eric, and Tiffany and Clara in the stands, it seemed that everyone he knew had come to see this game.

The two company representatives who started sponsoring him now had not come to see this game, but Jake was sure they sent someone to see Jake's performance, Emily did not come because Jake did not tell her about this game.

Jake thought that as Emily worked with him it would be strange if he asked her to come and cheer for him in the game, if she found out by herself and wanted to appear he did not care.

The coach was passing some last things to Carter and Harrison, Jake was a little anxious in today's game, his teammates seemed to be fine and he also trusted them a lot, but Jake was worried that the same could happen for the final 3 years behind.

Jake knew that if his team was playing badly in today's game he could not just lead the team to victory, even if he could hit all the balls out he would get an hour that he would receive double play or even with three players and could not do anything more.

The two teams were called to the court because the game would soon start, the Elite team's opponent in that final game was the Hawks team, they had 3 players who were the team's highlights.

The Hawks' team PG called William, he was a very skilled player and even had some Double-Double in this competition with points and assists, even if William was very good at shots from outside and mid-range he was very fond of making scores also.

William was not very good at defense, but he was one of the best players of that national championship in the attack, he was one of the reasons the Hawks' team reached the final.

The SF of the Hawks team was called Logan, he was a very good player in internal scores and shots from outside as well, in addition, Logan was a player with 1.82 m and very good in defense, so Harrison would be virtually nullified for that game.

The PF of the Hawks team was called Gabriel, Gabriel was a very strong and fast player for his size, besides being a tall player was very fast and skillful, would be a big problem for Carter, he even had a note about Gabriel for Jake , he was better than Liam that they faced some games ago.

The SG and the Center of the Hawks' team had no highlight, but they were too good to be on such a strong team so Jake did not dare to disregard them.

After a few moments, the game began and Mark got the ball to the Elite team, Jake was happy to have the first ball of the game, he had to make some plays with his teammates to see how they were for that game.

But on that first ball, Jake thought it best to score the points to ensure an advantage for his team as soon as he got close to the three-point line he made the shot from outside to make the first 3 points for the Elite team in that game.

William did not expect Jake to take the shot off on the first play and he could not even react, but he took the ball calmly and went to organize the first attack for his team, arriving at the attack he passed the ball to the SG of his team.

The SG picked up the ball and passed by David and then made a mid-range shot to make 2 more points for the Hawks' team, Jake got the ball and started another attack for his team.
