Chapter 178 New Game Style 7 (1/2)

Jake who saw this can not help but smile, it seemed that he was the only one who understood the thoughts of coach Mike, in a difficult game like these coach Mike would not risk changing two players of the team who were having a good game by two that came from the Middle School.

Exactly as Jake thought coach Mike only spent a few plays with David and Harrison and neither thought to put Lucas and Nathan in the game, with all players besides Jake did not understand why.

Coach Mike was worried that the team would become unstable with two players with less experience in a difficult game like this, even though Lucas and Nathan are even better at defense, their attacks may end up failing because of nervousness.

If the Elite team was losing the coach could have to make the change to improve the defense of the team to try to win the game, but with the team winning was more difficult, after all the advantage was only increasing with the passing of the game.

With that David and Harrison played more excited with the confidence of the coach and Lucas and Nathan had to understand that this was the coach's decision and they were still new players who were already lucky to have the opportunity to play.

At the beginning of the third period Allapattah Team PG started another attack for his team, he was the one with the most pressure on the team because besides not having the confidence of his teammates was still being defended by Jake who could steal the ball with any carelessness of it.

The PG passed the ball to Joshua who was on the team's attacking block, Joshua advanced and felt that Harrison was better in defense for that period, so he passed the ball to his team's PF.

The PF kept the ball while keeping the distance from Carter, so the PF passed the ball to Levi who was more open to the right, Levi passed the ball quickly before the defense came to Aaron.

Aaron made a feint and moved away from Mark's tight defense to make a mid-range shot and make 2 more points for the Allapattah team.

Jake got the ball and started another attack for the Elite team, he advanced to the attacking field and passed the ball to Carter who was more open to the right, Carter made the feint and pass by the PF of the opposing team finished the move with a layup to make 2 more points for the Elite team.

Carter was much more confident in his attacks after the team changed the style of play, many plays like this where the inside area is almost empty are perfect for Carter and Jake to try the individual play.

The opposing team's PG started another attack and after advancing for a while passed the ball to Levi, Levi advanced calmly and passed the ball to Joshua again, Joshua tried to get rid of Harrison.

But Harrison was well on defense and Joshua tried to pass to his team's PF instead of passing to his team's PG who had lost the confidence of his teammates, but Jake hoped for it and intercepted the pass by making another steal in the game.

Jake did not rush into the attack and passed the ball to David as he went into the attacking court, David passed the ball to Jake again and went to the right side of the court, so Jake passed the ball to Harrison who was free on the left.

Harrison thought about trying the mid-range shot but did not try because he saw that Joshua was waiting for that, so Harrison passed the ball to Mark in the inside area, Mark who was well defended by Aaron passed the ball back to Jake.

Jake passed the ball quickly to David who was free after Carter set the screen, David received the ball and made the step back to try the shot from outside and make 3 more points for the Elite team.

By the end of the third period, the Elite team was winning by 15 points difference and had virtually guaranteed victory, Jake had 29 points and 12 assists throughout the game, during that time he passed the ball over to David and Harrison who were morally higher and so did not score so many points.

Jake also had 8 steals now and was close to another Triple Double, he had been the main responsible for the team to increase the advantage by disrupting the opponent's attack, so the Elite team had a bigger advantage.

For the fourth period coach Mike placed Lucas and Nathan since the game was practically won for the Elite team, David and Harrison came out satisfied knowing they did their best in the game.

For Nathan and Lucas who were coming in now would try their best to have coach Mike observe their skills and could trust them to enter a game like that in the future, Jake thought that was the right mindset if they wanted to join the team.
