Chapter 364 College Basketball Season Begins 8 (1/2)
In the coming days, the players were doing lighter training to regain energy for the next games, taking advantage of this light training and still having 4 days between games Jake decided to help Aaron as he had promised.
Next season Aaron would start training with his team, but until he could train with the team he would have to train alone to keep fit, Jake called Aaron to run with him and Zack.
But Aaron was used to doing one more explosive run than the long run as Jake and Zack did, and to improve stamina and stamina Aaron had another kind of training.
Aaron's biggest problem training on his own was his skills as a Wide receiver, he had no way of training his ability to receive passes alone, so he asked Jake for help knowing that he played time on the high school football team.
Even though Jake said he played for a short time Aaron knew that Jake was not a liar and if he can play as the team's initial quarterback without training in the team he should at least know how to pass well.
Jake naturally agreed to help Aaron because he also enjoyed playing football at times and had confidence in making dozens of passes for Aaron without getting tired of his current strength and endurance statistics.
Aaron took advantage of these days that Jake helped to do all the training he needed a quarterback to do and so made the most of Jake's help, he can see in person how Jake was really talented as a quarterback being able to make several accurate passes at a distance of many Yards.
If Aaron had not seen Jake playing basketball he would say it was a pity that Jake did not play football, but Aaron knew that Jake was doing what was best for himself and was also safer.
Jake, not enough of the football world to judge, but he knew Aaron was at least better than all the Wide receiver he played in high school, of course, Jake knew that the Wide receiver needed to have more skills than Jake could not seeing in such a simple training, but just being on the college football team showed how talented Aaron was.
After a few days of training, the day of the next game for Team Tar Heels came, it was another away game and Team Tar Heels would have some more before returning to play at the Dean Smith Center.
Even though as 6 straight wins the team was very confident for this match, coach Guthridge could also work more smoothly with the team without anyone charging him for anything with the team having great results.
After a few hours, both teams were ready to start this game, the opponent in today's game was the team Louisville Cardinals, Jake remembered that this season would not be very good for this team as it was last season, but the players of the team Tar Heels did not know said and were preparing for a difficult game.
For this game the starting team would be what Coach Guthridge considered the top without N'Diaye on the team, Shammond Williams, Carter, Jamison, Okulaja and Jake would play in today's game on the starting team.
But that didn't leave the early players at ease and the reserve team players were still waiting for an opportunity, everyone knew that the 7 players could play in any game and maybe only Jake and Jamison were guaranteed on the team.
This was a game of only 2 quarters as the Tar Heels team players were used to playing, but the strategy used had to be different than it was in the last games, so both teams had to be careful.
Jake knew that Jamison would be playing well in this game as in all this season and Williams would be playing well again, even if Carter was not so good in this game Jake still trusted that he could score more points and help disrupt the opposing team's defense.
In the first quarter the team Tar Heels started attacking well and also pressing in defense, Jake was not afraid of the opposing team and so made quiet moves and this made the players calmer as well.
In the first 10 minutes of the first quarter, Jake was trying some three-point shots to increase the lead and his teammates were also performing well.
So in the rest of the first quarter with a good lead, Team Tar Heels could play more smoothly and this put more pressure on Team Louisville Cardinals, Jake also got some steals and hindered several moves from the opponent.
By the end of the first quarter, the Tar Heels team had a good lead, Jake played for 20 minutes and scored 17 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, and 4 steals. Jake had a good first quarter and made the Tar Heels team more comfortable for the second quarter.
