With Lucas and Nathan entering, the defense of the team would be better and Jake was calmer with it, Lucas could mostly stop or at least disrupt Jaxon who had already done 14 points so far.

This was because Jake managed to get in the way of Jaxon and his opponent was also 5 assists, but Ryan, who should have been ruled out by Jake, had made 8 points because of that.

Even so, Jake thought that was not enough of that and he was thinking of a way to further improve the defense to further increase the advantage against the Brickell team, so he called Mark to talk for a bit.

”What was Jake?”

”Look at Mark, our team on the defense is me and you and Carter, but Carter has to worry about Thomas from the opposing defense, I'm trying to help my team-mates and so Ryan can also score more points.”

”Now that Lucas and Nathan have entered the defense of our team will improve, but I need your help in something, I want you and me to help Lucas in the defense and so we can stop Jaxon from the opposing team.”

”As a key player in defense, you need to learn from this game to defend against another player while defending against another understood?”

”I get it, you can count on me, I'll do my best to stop the opponent in defense.”

”Very good, I count on you if I go out to defend you do not need if I do not leave stay with you.”
