Chapter 345 Busy Holiday 9 (1/2)
Jake even considered buying another car to use when he was in Miami, but then decided to wait until he had more money, because he wanted to buy an even better car later, maybe when he got into the NBA he could buy an ideal car without moving in his investments.
But it was better to go to the court in David's car which was more common, Jake didn't want to be recognized if possible, he wore sunglasses and a bandana to hide his hair, David and Mark laughed at Jake, but had to admit that He disguised himself very well.
Jake was very famous after becoming a winning college basketball player and well-known marathon athlete, but in Miami, he was much better known than anywhere in America, it was much easier for someone to recognize Jake in Miami than in his own. his university.
It wasn't everyone who knew him, but if he just walked a street for a few minutes someone would surely always recognize him, on a basketball court that was almost certain to happen.
Amazingly on the court was the place he didn't stand out so much because of his height, many basketball players were tall and Jake could disguise himself better than in a mall.
David soon went looking for people who wanted to play with them, soon three men showed up to play against Jake's team, two of the men were tall and only one was smaller, but Jake and Mark were bigger than their opponents.
Even though the opponents were not intimidated and soon spoke to start the game, Jake had brought one of his balls from his house to make sure they had no trouble playing, Jake agreed with Mark and David that he would pass the ball more than he would point to disguise.
David said that was not right and it was better than Jake at least did some layups to disguise and Mark agreed, so Jake had to accept that, David would not play with the best Tar Heels scorer and allow Jake not to make any points, It was a waste.
In a short time the game started and the opposing team started with the ball, the lower one was called Rick, he looked like a PG, the others were Joe who looked like a Center and Paul who looked like a PF.
Just for this game Jake would mark Paul who was taller and David would mark Rick who was the smallest, Mark would mark Joe who was of the same height and position as him, Rick tried to feint at David, but David would not allow and defend well every time.
David could play on a more offensive team, but he had to train hard on defense and of course he would improve this year at university playing, seeing that he could not pass by David, Rick passed the ball to Joe, Joe got a spin with speed and Mark followed Joe's movement.
Joe pulled back and attempted a hook shot to make the first 2 points for their team, Mark did not expect it and was a little embarrassed to have allowed his opponent to score.
David didn't care about that and then passed the ball to Jake to restart the game, Jake moved slowly to pitch and went to David again, David held the ball and made a quick feint to pass Rick and advance to make the 2 points with a layup.
Rick took the ball to make another play for his team and Mark seemed determined to defend this time, Jake was calm and Rick realized this and passed the ball to Paul, Rick thought that Jake was calm because he didn't care about the game and wanted to enjoy it.
Paul tried to get past Jake a few times and realized that even though Jake was taller than he was also faster, so he tried a feint and Jake naturally didn't fall, so Paul tried to get past Jake protecting the ball.
Jake let Paul pass and Paul tried the layup to make the two points, Jake reacted quickly and made a block on Paul taking his chance to make the points, Jake advanced slowly and passed to David again.
David tried to make a feint and failed and so passed the ball back to Jake, Jake made a quick pass to Mark who received the free ball and made a Dunk to make 2 points, Mark looked excited and David also to play with Jake again.
So the game went on and Joe scored a few more points using the hook shot and Rick also managed to score a few points by getting rid of David's defense, only Paul couldn't score any points over Jake who made two blocks and one steal.
So the opposing team gave up making moves with Paul to leave Jake alone, David and Mark realized that incredibly Jake had done much better in defense and was not even trying hard to defend against Paul.
They were glad they decided not to play against Jake at his house, they would lose even if Jake didn't play seriously against them, David was just having fun and Mark was annoying that Joe had made several hook shots on him and he couldn't defend.
