Chapter 239 Preparations for the Olympics 5 (1/2)

Coach Jim was a lot less worried this time than Jake's first game on vacation, after which the team was just going back to training and everyone wasn't excited to be playing on vacation.

In addition, the opposing team was weak and the players were not very motivated, Jake was also just a bet for Coach Jim at the time and even he didn't know if Jake could do as well in the game as he was in training.

Fortunately just as Coach Jim thought Jake was a talented born athlete, he could probably play well in any sport with proper training as he had the fitness to do so, so Jake led the team to an easy win.

This time the opposing team was much stronger Miami was a very big city and American football in the city was very important, so all teams had very skilled players.

But with that Coach Jim was more comfortable because his players were well trained and motivated for this game and Coach knew Jake was skilled enough, and even if they lost it would not be a shame as it would be in the friendly holiday game.

After the two teams were already set up and ready the game started the crowd that had come to see a game like this was much bigger than the crowd that would see a basketball team game, this showed how football was more important to Americans.

This time it was Jake's football team that would start attacking, so Jake was to start the first play, even though it was only his second game Jake was much more relaxed and confident this time around.

Just as before the team's first attempt was a race, Jake passed the ball to his team's RB on his right, RB ran into a space that his teammates opened for him and slide managed to advance 3 yards.

Quickly the team rearranged for the second attempt, Jake again tried the race with the RB, this time he tried out from the left, after advancing 5 yards he was knocked down.

The third play was a race again, the RB managed to advance 3 more yards and secured the first down for the Elite team.

Jake was impressed by the change in the attitude of his teammates to today's game, he had heard in training that in addition to the team with the best defense in 4 years in a row the Elite team had not a strong attack.

But the best players in the Elite team attack were the RBs, Jake didn't believe him when he heard that, after all, he didn't think the RBs were very good on this team and even on television he thought very badly of the players in the RB position.

Jake thought that in addition to some very talented RB who could make unexpected plays and had the skill and the times the opposing defense failed, the RB was only used to gain a few yards.

Of course, it was because Jake didn't follow football very well to understand the game well enough, especially in high school that QBs weren't always the team highlights and some lacked the strength and precision to make good passes during games.

So the RBs were very important for the team's attacking moves, as Jake had no problem making the longer passes he preferred to rely on the team's WRs that also had quality.

After a few more plays the WR failed to hold the ball and the Elite team missed the first attack of the game, Jake was making the passes correctly, but the opposing defenders also had the skill and disrupted the WR who could not receive the pass.

After his second game, Jake finally realized that being a QB wasn't as easy as he thought, the player in addition to strength and precision had to have a lot of intelligence and ability to understand the possible development of the move quickly.

Having some agility was also important, above all QB was too dependent on his teammates to show his talents, even though for Jake as PG it was similar, he could still with his ability score several points and show his skills.

But if all the teammates of a great quarterback were bad, no one could figure out his talents, in that team, Jake now saw that while the WRs were talented, they weren't as good as he thought during the friendly holiday game.

The best players were the ones who protected him long enough for him to think about the moves he had to make, fortunately for today's game Jake could also count on the RBs who were performing well.

Coach Jim naturally knew this better than Jake, the football team's problem was just that, although the WRs were talented the team quarterbacks were very weak so the team could not properly train the WRs to receive passes with a defense difficult.

So the offensive team left and the defensive team entered, everyone was resting and talking about something while the opposing team attacked only Jake and a few more players accompanied the opposing team's attacking move.
