Chapter 177 New Game Style 6 (1/2)
Allapattah's PG got the ball and started another attack for his team, he advanced with the ball and then passed the ball to Joshua, Jake still did not know if the PG of that team was really bad or if it was an opponent's trick then at the beginning of the game he would continue to observe.
Joshua followed with the ball and soon passed to the PF of his team, the PF received and Carter already approached to defend, so the PF did not delay with the ball and passed to Aaron, Aaron received the ball with back to Mark and made a finely before turning, Mark fell on the feint and so had to just watch Aaron doing the dunk and 2 more points for the Allapattah team.
Just as Jake thought Aaron would be a difficult opponent for Mark to defend because of the difference in style of the game between them, so Jake got the ball and advanced to the attack, after advancing for a while he passed the ball to Harrison who had come back to receive the ball.
Harrison made a feint and got rid of Joshua and went into the inside area, Harrison saw that he could not move further and passed the ball to David who was behind, so Harrison and Carter opened to receive the ball, David passed the ball in place where Harrison and Carter had left and Jake was there to receive the ball.
Jake who was free advanced and made a slam dunk to make 2 more points for the Elite team and for the joy of the fans, this was one of the moves that the Elite team started working after they changed the style of play.
As Jake was no longer trapped having to arm the moves he could move more and get balls so free to make the points more easily, even though Jake could easily make the individual moves was good when he could get a ball when he was free to score.
The PG received the ball and started another move for the Allapattah team, this time in the same way as in the other moves he passed the ball to Levi and was not until the attack quickly, Levi passed the ball to Aaron who quickly passed the ball to Joshua who was free behind the three-point line on the left side of their attack.
So Joshua did not miss the opportunity and tried a shot from outside before Harrison arrived for the defense, so he made 3 more points for the Allapattah team, cheering the game up again.
At the end of the first period, the Elite team was winning by 3 points difference because Jake got a steal and a shot out at the end of the first period, Jake had made 9 points and 3 assists and was again the team name in the first period.
The problem in this Elite team game was not in the attack because they lost only two attacks and one of them was a 3-point shot from Jake that missed and Mark cannot take the rebound.
The problem was that the Allapattah team's attack was very good and the Elite team's defense was failing to stop them, Mark was doing well in defense and Aaron had only 4 points but Levi and Joshua had 12 points in the first period, so it was difficult for David and Harrison to defend against them.
At the beginning of the second period the Allapattah team's PG started another attack, he passed the ball to Levi who advanced calmly in the attack, reaching the three-point line he passed the ball to Joshua.
Joshua easily removed Harrison from the play and passed the ball to his team PF, the PF passed the ball quickly to the PG again, the PG passed to Aaron who turned quickly to layup, Mark tried the block and ended up making a foul in Aaron.
Aaron hit both Free Throw attempts and scored 2 more points for the Allapattah team, but Mark was not dismayed by the foul because he thought he might end up stopping Aaron.
Jake received the ball and started another play for the Elite team, he advanced to the attacking block and passed to David who was close, David advanced with the ball and passed to Carter who had opened the right to receive.
Carter got rid of PF's opponent and went to the inside area, advancing he saw that he could not continue and passed the ball to Harrison who was more open, Harrison made the mid-range shot and made 2 more points for the Elite team.
David and Harrison were anxious to do well the attack moves as they knew they were not able to stop the opponents in the defense.
The Allapattah team's PG advanced with the ball to start another attack, he passed the ball to Levi who advanced for a while and passed the ball to his team's PF, the PF passed to Joshua who was more open.
Joshua received the ball and made a step back to make the shot outside and make 3 more points for the Allapattah team, even if Joshua liked to make individual plays he did not risk doing much because of Jake.
