Chapter 192 A Risky Investment That Will Make It Right 6

The days passed quickly and the day of the second game of the state championship arrived, this was to be an ordinary game, but as Jake was thinking about breaking a record the whole team was excited.

It was incredible that after that interview on the television nobody remembered that Jake had also won a marathon, it shows how rare this situation was and that few people cared about the marathon at that time.

This was shown in Jake's interview with Chloe, even though he has just won a 16-year-old the Chicago major marathon reporter in the middle of the interview changed the subject to basketball.

It was as if the reporter was more interested in the fact that Jake was the MVP of his basketball team than with him having won a marathon, many were like that at the time.

Jake woke up early that day and ate Eva's breakfast fondly, she was happy to spend that time with Jake even if it was only a few hours in the week that they spent together.

Even Jake was getting used to seeing his mother for a short time in the week, of course, Jake would never allow it to be the same as in his past life, he accepted it well because Eva was happy in the restaurant with Anna.

So Jake packed his things and went to the place of the game when he arrived everyone was more relaxed than normal, after all, today's game for them was not about winning more, but about how many they would win.

Jake's luck was acting as usual and the team was on the same level as his first opponent, so Jake would have less difficulty in winning that game, his opponents were preparing tactics for this game that would be difficult for them.

Jake felt sorry that Eric was not in the stands, in fact, few reporters who as soon as Eric thought that all the Elite team game could have anything were there.

In fact Jake was not sure that he could get this record as his teammates said, he just warned his teammates before because today he would have to make several plays alone without passing the ball so he thought he had to warn before.

As he wanted to try to make a triple-double was also agreed that in the first period he would try to get the 10 assists as well, and as much steal as possible, before the opponents lose their will to play.

The opposing team was called Penguins and it was very balanced, only PG Maddox was the team's greatest standout, the others had the same level of skill as the state championship, but they could not get more than that.

After a few minutes the game began, Mark went up more than all and won the ball possession for the Elite team, Mark soon passed the ball to Jake, Jake advanced and passed the ball to David before the three-point line.

David passed the ball to Carter who was open on the right and Carter held the ball for a while, when the defense came to press Carter passed the ball to Jake who was further behind, Jake passed the ball to Harrison who was free on the left and Harrison tried the mid-range shot to make 2 points for the Elite team.

Maddox received the ball to start an attack for his team, he advanced until after the middle of the court and passed the ball of the SG of his team, the SG that received advanced to the attack and passed the ball farther left for the PF your team.

The PF felt Carter coming on the mark and passed to the SF from the right who tried the mid-range shot to make 2 points for the Penguins team and get the tie in the game.

As the Penguins team made the move Jake was watching to be able to steal as fast as possible, Jake picked up the ball and began to organize another attack for the Elite team, after passing through the middle of the block he passed to Harrison on the left.

Harrison got the ball and tried to overpower the opponent, seeing that he could not Harrison passed to Mark who was in the inner area, Mark received the ball passed to Jake again, Jake received the ball and passed to Carter who was free on the right.

Carter who received the ball already made the mid-range shot to make 2 more points for the Elite team, so far it seemed like a game like everyone else, the Elite team passed the ball and tried to make the points and the opponent did the same, but all the plays ended with an assist from Jake in that first period.

After a few plays Maddox received the ball to organize another attack for his team, after passing through the middle of the court Maddox passed the ball to the SG of his team that was on the left, SG advanced a little and passed the ball to the PF of your team.

The PF tried to pass through Carter and saw that he could not and was prepared to pass the ball, but Jake who was following the ball made a steal in the ball that was with the opponent PF, the ball was left for Harrison who advanced to the attack calmly.

Before the middle of the court Harrison passed the ball to Jake who continued to advance, Jake went up to the three-point line and passed to Mark who just turned and did the layup to make 2 more points for the Elite team.

When Jake made the first steal he already had 6 assists in the game and not a point, so when the first period ended Jake had 4 points and 10 assists along with 4 more steal that he got in 6 plays of the opposing team.

With the first period, so the opponents were thinking maybe that Jake was trying to score fewer points in the same game, the Elite team was 8 points clear in that period.

At the beginning of the second period Jake advanced until after the middle of the court and passed the ball to David, David advanced and passed the ball to Carter who was further ahead, Carter passed the ball back to Jake who was out of the line of three points , Jake tried the shot from outside to make 3 more points for his team.

Maddox received the ball and tried another attack for his team, after the line of three points he passed to the SG of his team, SG made a feint over David and can pass by David after the SG passed by David, Jake who was on the roof made the steal and got the ball.

Jake advanced in speed and the defense of the Penguins team can not keep up so Jake kept running until finishing the play with a Slam Dunk to make 2 more points for the Elite team.

And Jake continued like this until the end of the second period, Jake made 31 more points for his team and he got the 10 steals, so Jake had 35 points in the game so far, his teammates were impressed when they saw what Jake had done the Triple Double still in the second period of play.

But despite that Jake allowed Maddox to score 10 points in the game, in five plays he tried to steal the opponent's PG ran out of defense and can make the points easily, so it was not something Jake could do with the better teams.

Even though it would be harder than he thought to do 100 points in a game like that this was to be expected because he had only 32 minutes in total such a game and Jake still wanted to try the Triple Double along with his record.

In the third period Jake kept trying to score points, he made 25 attempts from the outside, 21 came in and Jake had made an incredible 46 points in the third period, so Jake had 81 points in today's game after the end of the third period.

The Elite team had a 42-point advantage in the game and this was because the team's defense today was more relaxed with Jake making so many points, after understanding what was happening the Penguins team totally discouraged and became practically an expectant in the game.

In the last period, Jake scored 42 points and made a total of 123 points in the entire game, the Elite team won with a 70-point lead and all Jake's teammates celebrated as if they had won the national championship.

Jake was very happy with that as well, he felt he could have overstated, but he did not know what was the record for high school players so he had to do his utmost, of course, this was because he even tried the Triple Double together making 10 assists otherwise he could make 30 more points in total.

Jake made 36 attempts from the outside and hit 30 of them, so he 90 points in the game with shots from outside, an average of 3.8 points per minute which is not the maximum he could do.

The reporters were very happy and interviewed Jake with great joy, they knew that going to the Elite team games one day could give some result, this was certainly a record, even if it was not the game with more points was in the top 5 with assurance.

The good thing about a game like that was that it increased one player's average points in the year, Jake had an average of 28 points per game and now must have increased a lot with that game, his state championship average was at least 75 points per game.

After that Jake thanked his teammates and went to talk to the opposing players, all were well with it and although they did not like to lose at least they were happy to see an incredible record being made.

Jake knew that his opponents made it a lot easier for him in the last two periods of play, not pushing him too hard in defense and also not making too many fouls so he could not score more points in the game.
