Chapter 196 New Challenges 1 (1/2)
Jake caught five rebounds and made 3 steals in this first period, even though it wasn't as good as in the last game everyone could see that Jake was trying hard to beat this record after a while the second period began.
Even though it was impossible to win the game, the opposing team still tried to take advantage of the Elite team's defenses of that game to score more points, which was what the Elite team wanted because Jake would have more opportunities to rebound and steal.
Jake in all attacks still made the move normally before receiving the ball again to make another shot from outside, the opposing PG knew that this was not an ordinary game and did not force much in defense and did not try to make fouls.
What many wondered was how Jake didn't get tired after making so many plays in this and the last game, even if he could finish a 32-minute game wasn't that impressive because the players weren't always trying hard.
In many plays the player just walked around the court until the team made the points, in more difficult games it was normal to see the players get tired and replaced, but Jake seemed never tired.
Some reporters just knew how Eric was because Jake could also run a marathon if a person can run a marathon, he can play to the fullest in a 32-minute basketball game.
So the game went on, by the end of the second period Jake had scored 94 points, he managed to score fewer points in the second period, but everyone was already impressed by that, almost 100 points in 16 minutes were impressive to anyone.
Jake was still in the mindset of just firing off that game, so even though he missed a few he was counting on Mark to rebound to try again, Jake tried 18 off shots during that time and hit 14 of them, and the other 2 points. were in a dunk after a steal.
He also got 9 rebounds and 7 steals in total, so the triple Double was on the way too, even though Mark had given up on the defensive rebounds so Jake had 7 rebounds in the game already, Eric and reporters were impressed with that.
Anyone can get a lot of shots out of a game, just the selfish player and not thinking about hitting any of them, proof of that is the 3 Point Shootout Contest that the NBA does every year on All-Star.
In just 1 minute they try 25 shots from outside and have hit more than 20 of them, it shows that it is possible, but no one tries because in a real game with a player in defense it is much harder.
But today Jake was trying to show what the possible odds limit was, Lola was also impressed by that, she honestly thought it was not possible, but after Jake scored almost 100 points in the middle of the game she no longer doubted and just cheered.
Of course, this was only possible because Jake had 32 strengths, much more than he had even in his past life, he could feel that it was much easier to try the shots off, and Jake didn't have so many muscles that hampered his movements even with more than 30 strength.
With the help of his luck and the distance to the three-point line being smaller than in the NBA, it helped a lot for Jake to achieve that, yet he was impressed to achieve that in one game.
In the third period, everyone was excited to see Jake break this record just to be disappointed, Jake scored 36 points only in that third period of the game, everyone thought it was because he was getting tired of the game.
But it was Jake who was holding on purpose, after all, if it went on like that he would stand out too much with this record, he still made 17 attempts at outside shots to hit 12 more of them, yet he deserved praise for it.
Even though he had 130 points at the end of the third period and had already broken his own record, now he had to make 6 more points in this last period to break that record, just by having 2 straight games with over 120 points he would already be in history forever.
Jake also had 14 rebounds and 12 steals in the game, even Mark already had 12 rebounds in this game, so Jake was happy for his teammates so everyone was excited for this last period of play.
When another 8 minutes were up many were cheering Jake on the court, he scored 42 points over that period and far beat the record for most points made in a game, 172 points should even if a historical record hard to break even if the ball is given for some to be trying for 32 minutes to make that much of points.
Jake tried 20 more shots from outside to hit 14 of them and score 42 points, plus Jake had 20 rebounds and 15 steals, a triple Double with a record again.
Jake made 74 off-shot attempts to hit 56 off, Mark got a Double-Double with 20 assists as well as 16 rebounds, even David had 17 assists in today's game, with the game past the average assist of his teammates were almost bigger than Jake's even.
Jake did some interviews with everyone including Eric who was not left out this time, after all this time everyone was sure the record had finally been broken so the story would be really interesting to them.
After thanking his teammates and opponents again for all playing a fair game Jake was preparing to leave, after all with his stamina he was tired after that game.
But on leaving the game site he saw that Lola was there alone, she wanted to congratulate Jake too, but he was surrounded by several people and reporters and she missed the chance, Jake felt a little guilty for forgetting her alone.
