Chapter 361 College Basketball Season Begins 5 (1/2)

”What an incredible second quarter for the Tar Heels team, they came more focused and missed no attacks and the players seemed to be inspired, Jake scored an incredible 16 points in those 10 minutes.”

”Scoring 16 points even in an entire game would be a good result for any player and Jake did it in just one quarter, it already shows how he plays differently from the others.”

”True, but even with Jake scoring so many points Jamison, Carter, Okulaja, and N'Diaye also scored a few points, it shows the strength of the Tar Heels team this season under coach Guthridge.”

”On the other hand the UCLA team had a second-quarter far worse than their first quarter, the players didn't have the ability to beat the defense of team Tar Heels and scored a few points in that quarter and were still very poor in defense.”

”That's right, we see the coach fighting with the players for having such a bad performance, but with 31 points on the scoreboard I see nothing more than the UCLA team can do in this game.”

While Coach Steve Lavin fought with the UCLA players, Coach Guthridge praised the great game the Tar Heels team players were having that day, everyone was playing well and focused throughout the game.

Coach Guthridge could see how the players he had could have a great future in the NBA or other professional basketball leagues, and he was lucky to coach those players in his first year as a coach after Coach Smith left.

In the third quarter the UCLA team returned to play much better, it seemed that coach Lavin's scolding worked, but the Tar Heels team players were really fine in this game and focused and did not give much space for the UCLA team to make the plays.

Jake kept trying the three-point shots and setting up the shots so that Jamison, Carter and the other players had more freedom to score, yet with the UCLA team playing well the Tar Heels team continued to increase the lead.

By the end of the third quarter, the Tar Heels team increased their lead even further and the UCLA players had already given up on winning that first game, Jake played for 10 minutes and scored 11 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds, and 3 steals.

In the last quarter of this game, the UCLA team returned to play poorly because the players gave up on winning the game, but the Tar Heels team continued playing as in the other quarters of this game and performing very well.

Thus the Tar Heels team won the game to the great advantage and further showing the strength of this team for this season, the Tar Heels team won by 125 points against just 57 points from the UCLA team.

Jake played for 10 minutes in the last quarter and scored 12 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, 3 steals, this was Jake's first triple-double this season and the best team match of the season by Tar Heels team as well.

Such a victory further increased the confidence of the entire team and coach Guthridge and the fans, especially because they had won against a strong team like the UCLA team.

”What a great game for the Tar Heels team in this game, against a strong team like the UCLA team they managed to win with double the opposing team's score and great offensive and defensive performance as well as a great performance of all players.”

”Antawn Jamison made a double-double on this one and Vince Carter also had a great offensive game, and Jake Smith was amazing in this game making his first triple-double this season scoring 46 points, it looks like we can see Jake winning all of the prizes again in this season.”

”Undoubtedly, on the other side the UCLA team had a bad second quarter and fourth quarter, in the last quarter the players were discouraged because the game was already lost, but the second quarter was a complete inattention of the team.”

”In the first quarter the UCLA team players played very well, and in the third quarter after the coach's scolding the team returned to play well, but the game was already lost after the bad second quarter.”

”I think this game was an exception and the UCLA team will still have a great season, but the Tar Heels team play the same way since the first game of this season, it's the fourth straight win and it looks like we can see the team making a great season just as it was last year.”

Jake and the other team players were very happy after this game, Jake celebrated again with his teammates, he also called Eva to talk to his mother as he always did after games
