Chapter 304 Using a Coach as an Assistant 10 (1/2)
Even though Jake was not satisfied with his performance and the rest of the team were all happy to have won this game, they now had a winning streak of 11 and were more confident about the next games.
Now there were only 5 games left until the end of Regular Season and they saw that they had a good chance of finishing with an amazing winning streak and so an excellent season, at the conference they had only one loss and every season just two losses and against two teams strong.
At this time of the season, they were leading the Atlantic Coast Conference, and if they won 5 more games as well as remaining conference leader they would have much more confidence for the upcoming ACC tournament and the NCAA tournament.
All media that talked about college basketball always highlighted the performance of the Tar Heels team this year, the whole team seemed to have a lot of strength in every position, even though in some positions the players didn't stand out so much they were still fundamental to the team.
The biggest highlights were Jake, Vince Carter, and Antawn Jamison who accounted for much more than half of the team points in all games and most of the rebounds as well, even the reserves like Ed Cota, Shammond Williams who had even more time. of the court were also spoken.
”I think the Tar Heels team is definitely the favorite to win the NCAA tournament this year, they come very strong with two very good winning streaks and just two losses all season.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”It could have been said before that it could still be too early to talk about favorite teams, but now there are only 5 games left for Regular Season, then we go to the ACC tournament, so I think it's time to see who's favorite.”
”I agree with that, the Tar Heels team lost only two games this season, and those two defeats were for teams that can also be considered favorites and have a very strong team for this year.”
”Wake Forest is definitely a favorite with a very good season so far and with Tim Duncan on the team who is an excellent player and should go to the NBA draft this year and is a favorite to win several top player awards of the season.”
”The other team they lost to is the Arizona Wildcats team that for the past 10 years has been showing their strength in college basketball and is a favorite to win this NCAA tournament with a good team making a good season.”
”That's right, besides, we have to point out that Jake is one of the best freshmen of the last 30 years or so in college basketball and comes with scary statistics this season fighting even to be the best player of the year.”
”He has an average of fewer than 30 minutes per game, playing the position with Shammond Williams who has been playing very well this season and Ed Cota who was one of the hopes for a great season this year.”
”Jake averages over 30 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, and 4 steals per game, plus an average of over 60 percent on both the three-point and field goal average.”
The commentators who were talking about Jake were impressed by this average box score statistics for this season's games, not nearly the biggest names in history, but in that, much more competitive 90's basketball was hard to even for players' geniuses score 30 points per game in a season.
”That's because this season in more than 5 games Jake played for less than 20 minutes, in the two games that Team Tar Heels lost he played less than 20 minutes in the whole game, so I think with him playing more 30 minutes these two defeats would not have happened.”
Jake's confidence in this commentator was surprising, but the others had to admit that the dice matched that description, so if Jake had played for more than 30 minutes the result could really be different.
Everyone knew that at this time of the season it was almost impossible for Coach Smith to leave Jake out of games, so they could know if that was right in the next games, which was certain with Jake on the Tar Heels team they were stronger.
”Also, let's not forget that Vince Carter and Antawn Jamison are still on that team, these two are excellent players that are highly anticipated on NBA teams in the coming seasons.”
”Even though Jake averaging nearly 30 points per game these two also maintain an average of more than 15 points per game, the three usually make more than half of the team points in all games.”
”Serge Zwikker and Ademola Okulaja have also been having a great season, both with more than 10 points per average game, even though Okulaja playing less time than the others he is still important to the Tar Heels team strategy.”
