Chapter 157 An Exciting Final 4 (1/2)

After a few more plays the first period ended, the two teams were very equal and the Elite team was ahead with a 2 point lead at the end of that period.

Jake had 7 points and 7 assists in that early period, but he could not do any steal, Jake still had to analyze William's playing style to have a chance to steal the ball.

Everyone in the crowd was thrilled with this end-to-end final, but they did not have many exciting plays in the first period, but they knew that in Jake's games it would not be so slow the whole game.

Eva and Anna were a little anxious about the game, but they were happy that Jake's team was winning and Jake was playing so well, they expected the game to continue like this.

Joseph, Oliver, and Matthew were quieter than the others in the stands, they were cheering for Jake and they had the feeling that Jake could get the victory without too much difficulty.

Tiffany and Clara were also calm, they had accompanied Jake since many years ago and they never saw him lose any game, so they had confidence that Jake would always win, it seemed strange, however it was true, after Jake lost a game that could change, but has not yet happened.

At the beginning of the second period, William was with the ball, he saw that the team of the Hawks was behind the board and decided to bet more on individual plays and Gabriel and Logan for this game, these were the players who washed the team with him for this Last.

So William reached the three-point line and passed the ball to Logan, Logan passed by Harrison easily and went to the inside area to attempt the layup, Mark appeared to cover Harrison and Logan passed the ball to his team's Center.

Hawks 'center was alone and tried to do the layup, but Jake who was following the move rose and made a block to end the Hawks' attack, David took the rebound and passed the ball to Jake to organize the attack.

Jake followed calmly to the attack, when he reached the three-point line he passed the ball to David, David received the pass and fired the shot before the defender came in to make 3 more points for the Elite team.

William was upset because when he was thinking of tying the game the advantage increased to over 3 points when he reached the three-point line William also made the shot out to make 3 more points for the Hawks team he could not afford that this advantage would continue.

Jake was still trying to analyze William's playing style, he had to admit that the Hawks' PG was one of the best players he knows in that position, Jake went to the attack and passed the ball to Mark.

Mark received Jake's ball and used his body to protect the ball as he made the turn on the opposing player and then dunk to make 2 more points for the Elite team, Mark was beginning to regain his confidence before the last game.

Jake realized this and started to pass the ball over to him, in an end game like this it was more important not to lose attacks, and for that besides himself, Jake trusted Mark more.

Mark also seemed to be getting better and more conscious in defense, Jake was happy with his friend's improvement, especially since it would help his team a lot.

William did not care much about Mark, just as Jake had Harrison and David on his team who were not very good at defense, the Hawks' team center also struggled defensively.

So they already had this failure in defense for some games, William came on the court and passed the ball to Logan, Logan received the ball and easily got rid of Harrison to make the shot from outside and make 3 more points for the team two Hawks.

Jake got the ball and started to organize another attack for his team, he reached the three-point line and saw that William had been fumbled by the change of position of his team's SG, so Jake took advantage and ran behind David to the bottom of the court to make the shot from outside and make 3 more points for the Elite team.

Jake had no confidence in hitting all the shots from outside, but he knew he could only keep the advantage to the team because he and David hit several shots per game, besides, in that game Jake was calmer because Mark could get the rebounds for the Elite team.
