Chapter 483 - NBA Season Begins 7 (1/2)
The first quarter ended with the Los Angeles Lakers team with the advantage on the scoreboard, in that first quarter Jake played for 12 minutes and had 8 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds, and 2 steals, Jake played this first quarter much better than the past game.
Still, Jake was not scoring as many points as he still had to pass the ball to Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal, but Jake realized that he had a lot more confidence from his teammates in that game.
”What a great first quarter for the Los Angeles Lakers in that game too, in defense they are not doing very well, but the Los Angeles Lakers' attack misses very little and that's why they manage to finish the first quarter with a good advantage.”
”Jake is not intimidating himself because it is just his second game in the NBA and he is making all the moves correctly, he is doing dribbling and feints and Bryon Russell is having a hard time in that game.”
”It's true, we can see that Jake is getting more passes from his teammates, that's because he is showing that he knows how to play well as a team and that is making things more difficult for the Los Angeles Lakers team.”
”The Utah Jazz team is also not defending well, but John Stockton and Karl Malone are playing very well in this game and we cannot say yet which team will win.”
The second quarter of the game started with the Los Angeles Lakers pressing on the attack, after all, as the defenses did not work well, the attacks had to score more points than the opposing team.
Fisher advanced the ball and passed it to Kobe Bryant, Bryant passed the ball further to O'Neal and the defense pressed and Malone came to press it too, O'Neal passed the ball to Jake further back, Jake saw that Bryant was free and passed the ball.
Kobe Bryant tried the shot and ended up missing, Shaquille O'Neal was quick and managed to catch the rebound and made the layup to make 2 more points for the Los Angeles Lakers team, the Los Angeles Lakers team had the advantage in rebounds in that game and it helped them to keep winning the game.
In another move, the Utah Jazz team was pushing forward, after a good move Stockton passed the ball to Russell, Russel was quick and passed the ball back to Stockton near the free-throw line.
Fisher arrived to defend, but Stockton was quick and soon passed the ball to Malone who received the ball and made a dunk to make 2 more points for the Utah Jazz team, the game was played and both teams were strong in the attack which left the most animated game for fans to watch.
The Los Angeles Lakers team attempted another attack with a few minutes left to finish the second quarter, Fisher held the ball and Stockton was defending well against him, so Fisher passed the ball to Bryant again.
Bryant was not playing as well in that game and even though Hornacek's defense was not as good Bryant did not play as well as in the first game of the season, so Bryant passed the ball to Jake who was on the left.
Jake was playing very well in that game and was defending well against Russell who had only scored 8 points in that game and in other games he helped the Utah Jazz team to win, and Jake was also good in attack and assists.
Jake made a feint and failed to fool Russell this time, Jake tried another feint pretending he was going to the back of the court and Russell stopped waiting for Jake to make the move, Jake realized this and stepped away from Russell and tried the shot. out to make 3 more points for the Los Angeles Lakers team.
Russell was tricked by Jake and didn't even have time to react when Jake attempted the three-point shot, it was difficult to defend against a player who made good assists, was quick in individual shots and knew how to shoot with great skill.
The second quarter ended with the Los Angeles Lakers team winning with a good advantage, Jake played for 12 minutes in that second quarter and had 9 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds, and 2 steals, Jake was very well and hoped to get the first double-double in that game.
”What a good game we have been following so far, a game in which the attacks of the two teams are very strong and the defenses are also very good, the Los Angeles Lakers team has the advantage because there are three players playing very well in that game.”
”Shaquille O'Neal is playing very well and got 8 rebounds and scored 20 points in the first half of the game, Kobe Bryant is also playing very well and has 5 rebounds, and 9 points, both of whom have been the main players of this Los team Angeles Lakers.”
”And we also have Jake Smith who has been playing another excellent game in his second game in the NBA, Jake had 17 points and managed to get 6 rebounds in addition to making 6 assists, and that with Jake playing improvised as SF.”
