Chapter 372 Business and Basketball 6 (1/2)

”What a great game we had in this first quarter, Georgia Bulldogs has been surprisingly having a strong offensive game taking advantage of the defects of the Tar Heels defense, and with a good defense that has been disrupting one of the best attacks of the season.”

”That's right, the Tar Heels team that comes into this game with a 12-win streak has achieved this with an excellent defense even playing without a Center in most games, with good defensive players like Jamison and Jake defending very well while doing some steals.”

”So it's weird to see a game like this that the players are striving for but still make some mistakes, we have to say it just seems like a bad day for the Tar Heels team.”

”Yes, Georgia Bulldogs tried to take advantage of this weakness of Team Tar Heels in this game, but Jake has been playing very well again and excelling himself in defense in this game, Jamison also getting defensive rebounds so that Team Tar Heels can maintain the advantage.”

”True, I see what happened to Michael Jordan happening to Jake, Michael Jordan was great at three-point shots and assists, but his defensive ability and the many points he made with dunks made fans forget a few times that he was such a versatile player.”

”Jake is a great player doing three-point shots and an incredible average of points and assists, but he's also very good at defending with an amazing average of steals that is often overlooked by fans.”

”I agree, sometimes seeing Jake's games I think he just doesn't have time to do everything he can on the court and has to choose between scoring or defending.”

After this very difficult first quarter and the players realizing their defenses in defense, they realized that Jake was right to say that this would be a difficult game, so in the second quarter they had to play much better to secure the defense.

In the second quarter, the Georgia Bulldogs team came more willing to try to win the game, but Jake's performance in this game still intimidated them, yet if they wanted to get more points they couldn't give up trying to get past Jake in that game.

Coach Guthridge realizing the defenses of the defending team asked everyone to try to take every chance of the attack to score more points than their opponents and thus win the game, so the second quarter would be a much more open game.

After the first few minutes of the game, the Georgia Bulldogs team realized that the Tar Heels team was giving up defending with more pressure to make better attacks and that was what they wanted to try to win this game.

Risking team coach Georgia Bulldogs decided to put two players to be close to Jake and prevent him from attacking quietly, as a good PG Jake was not selfish and took advantage of these opportunities to make further assists for his teammates.

Jamison and Carter were fine again in the attack and Williams, despite making a big mistake in the attack, was doing a good game, the opportunities Jake found sometimes ended in three-point play almost giving up the two-point play.

Team Georgia Bulldogs also took advantage of this second quarter that had more freedom to attack and tried to beat Team Tar Heels by scoring more points, but Jake was still doing very well in defense and disrupted many attacking moves from Team Georgia Bulldogs.

The game ended with Team Tar Heels winning this game with a more comfortable advantage and without this game going into overtime, Team Tar Heels scored 97 points against Team Georgia Bulldogs 84 points.

Jake instead made a great defensive game in the second quarter too, he played for 20 minutes and made 12 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 5 steals, and 3 blocks, so Jake got the first quadruple-double of this season.

Also, Jake got a five-by-five for the first time in a game at the university, for sure Jake's great performance in that game meant that the team didn't have to go into extra time even though the players were so bad at defense.

After the end of the game the fans of the opposing team applauded the Tar Heels team and especially Jake after this excellent game, Jake's great performance would be in the history of both universities.
