Chapter 153 The National High School Championship 10

After Jake got the ball and went to the attack again, after reaching the three-point lineup Jake did not wait and made the shot out to make 3 more points for the Elite team, the opponent's PG was very weak so Jake had not been careful when attacking.

The Foxes team went to the attack again, the opposing PG passed the ball to Mason again, that Mason did not turn on Carter anymore as he turned away, after facing the basket he made the mid-range shot and made 2 more points for his team.

Jake picked up the ball and went back to the attack and the three-point line, so he passed the ball to David, David made a feint pretending that he would go inside the three-point line, but then returned where he was and made the off to make 3 more points for the Elite team.

So the crowd began to realize that the strategy of the Elite team was to make the shots off and try to gain the advantage with several 3-point plays, but everyone knew that this was a difficult thing even for the NBA teams, so it was a risky strategy.

Even though Eric knew Jake had an average of 80 percent of hits in the 3-point play, some argued that it was because Jake was not playing well in the games, but it did not change the fact that Jake had more than 40 shots out this season, which meant that Jake averaged nearly 3 shots per game.

So the 80 percent average was amazing with all these attempts, David was worse and had an average of 40 percent, but David did more than 60 shots from outside, so it was also good for someone in high school.

The opposing PG was again to the three-point line in another attack and passed the ball to Elijah, Elijah realized that as Jake was defending against him the Elite team was giving importance to him.

So he was happy with that, but he was angry too because he knew he could score more points if David was still on defense, so if Jake was on defense he would have fewer chances to score, but even so, he was not too worried about Jake.

Even though Jake was very good at the defense he was also very good at attacking, even when he plays one-on-one with Mason and Jackson in training he can score many points on them.

So Elijah tried to fake Jake, but no matter how many times he tried Jake was not coupling, so Elijah made a dribble in Jake using his speed, but Jake who was paying close attention in the move accompanied, when Elijah thought he had passed Jake and relaxed Jake made the steal and stole the ball.

So Jake was with just the PG opponent on the way and accelerated as Jake was very fast he ran up to the attacking block and no one can accompany him so he just stopped after doing the dunk and 2 more points for his team.

Elijah had not suffered many steals in his games, but he knew it was a common thing in the games and admitted that he had been careless after going through Jake, yet he had not given up making his plays and making the points for his team.

The Foxes team's PG reached the three-point line for the attack and saw Elijah asking for the ball, the PG who also trusted Elijah passed the ball to him, Elijah got the ball happy and used his speed to pass behind the SF of his team disrupting Jake in that move, when he had space made the mid-range shot to make 2 more points for the Foxes team.

Jake did not mind that, not even the best NBA supporters can stop the opponent's attack in every move, Jake went to the three-point line and passed the ball to Harrison.

Harrison managed to get rid of the opponent's SF and made the mid-range shot to make 2 more points for the Elite team, it was not because Jake decided to make more shots from outside to the team with David that he would not make other moves.

The game continued like this and finished the second period with the Elite team winning by 3 points of difference, Jake did manage to hit the 4 shots from the outside that tried to make 12 points in that period, David got 3 of the 5 shots he tried and he did 9 points.

Jake was now with 22 points and 9 assists in the game, in addition, he managed to do 4 steals in that period of play, 3 of them were in Elijah, yet nothing was guaranteed in that game, the Foxes team thought the Elite team was lucky and they could recover in the next period.

At the beginning of the third period Jake picked up the ball and went to the attacking block, arriving before the three-point line he did another shot from outside to make 3 more points for the Elite team, the Foxes team also attacked with PG passing the ball to Mason.

Mason made the turn on Carter, Carter was prepared for it and tried to steal, but Mason was quick and realized he would not have the chance to attack and passed the ball to Jackson, Jackson received the ball and dunk to do more 2 points for the Foxes team.

Carter who was better at defense still worked harder and managed to mess up Mason's moves but Mark could not do anything to stop Jackson, he even thought about missing several times but coach Mike would not allow foul play.

All high school teams were trying to prevent foul play because a lot of players got hurt because they did not have much physical fitness and ended up having to give up their future in basketball, and without the fouls, the games were much more enjoyable to watch.

Jake took the ball again and went to organize the attack, arriving at the attack he saw that both the opponent's opponent and Elijah was prepared to defend when Harrison and David received the ball, so he made a step back and shot the outside to do plus 3 points for the Elite team.

Everyone was impressed by Jake's luck at hitting a lot of shots from outside without missing out, but it was more than just luck, Jake always trained his shots from outside on a court that had the NBA's official pitch, even on that court he hit almost all of its more than 100 shots from outside per day.

After Jake's strength statistic reached 30 he was making the shots out much more easily and accurately, so at high school where the three-point line was much closer to the basket, it was much easier for Jake to hit a shot out.

He just did not hit all the shots from outside because the pressure of the official game was dozens of times higher than in training, in addition, when he hit several shots in a row he got very excited and went missing, but in that game he was more focused on helping the team and so got it right.

The Foxes' PG came back to the attack again, Elijah was asking for the ball, but the PG decided to move on to the other teammates because Jake was very well in defense against Elijah, so he passed the ball to the SF of his team, SF managed to get rid of Harrison and cut to the side preparing to make the mid-range shot.

But Jake read well and stole the ball from the SF before he realized Jake arrived, Jake ran with the ball to the opponent's court and only Elijah was able to accompany, Elijah who was annoyed by not receiving the pass was more irritated by the SF than received the pass instead of having lost the ball.

Jake approached the three-point line and Elijah was just ahead, within the free throw area Elijah tried for Jake and steal the ball but Jake took a step pretending he would go left and actually made the unstoppable Spin Move and then made the dunk to make 2 points for the Elite team.

This was one of LeBron James' main moves in the NBA, if no one had done it before LeBron James was now one of Jake's moves first, only Eric, who was always paying attention to Jake's moves, was able to take a picture of this Jake move.

This was a movement similar to what Jake did when he was younger in one of the tournaments he played, but this time it was much faster and better because it was finished with a dunk, Eric decided it would be the cover photo of the story on Elite team after they won the national championship.

After that everyone was clapping their foot in the gym, the Elite team players were very happy and excited and the Foxes team players realized they were playing against a showman who was good at everything in basketball and discouraged a bit of defeating that game.

The PG of the Foxes team took a deep breath and started another attack on their team, they could not just give up after reaching the semi-final just because the opponents had a good player.

Arriving at the three-point line the PG passed the ball to Jackson who turned over Mark and did a dunk also to make 2 more points for the Foxes team, Jake got the ball and started to organize another move for his team, arriving the three-point line he passed the ball to David who made the shot from outside to make 3 more points for the Elite team.
