Chapter 280 New Stage at College Basketball 4

In addition, the team Tar Heels was strongest in terms of the individual skill of the players, with this the favorite team was obvious, coach Smith was concerned for nothing because the players of the team Tar Heels did not underestimate the opponents and prepared To play seriously.

In the first time the game Jake can play for 16 minutes, the team was in good shape and Jake was playing as always, so he did 18 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals, after him Jamison made 12 points in that first time playing a little longer than Jake.

In this first game time the team Tar Heels had already made 58 points and opened a big advantage in the scoreboard against the opponent, yet the team did not relax and just felt less pressure by the result.

In the second game time Jake played for 16 minutes and had a great performance too, he did 15 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, and 1 steal so the team Tar Heels can easily win by making 114 points against only 63 points of Team VMI Keydets.

With this performance Jake stood as the main player and star of the team, this because the role of Jake was to arm the plays and he did it very well also, usually 16 points of the team at least come out of assists Jake, so he usually directly participates in half of the team's points.

After this game, coach Smith went on to trust Jake even more and was more confident in leaving Jake as a Tar Heels team starter, after all, he needed talent players to lead the team not only to make good games but also to win titles.

And often teams with 3 talented players can lead the team to victory, coach Smith believed he had this with Carter, Jamison, and Williams, but Shammond Williams, despite being good at scoring many points, was not such a good point guard these days.

Just a player like Jake or Ed Cota who had the skills needed to make players like Carter and Jamison could play their best, between the two Jake was infinitely better and a complete player who though not Is great at all could do a lot of things.

Proof of this was that Vince Carter was not the player who made the most points on average of the team, he was only third among the best punctuators, this was because he did not have enough support from the team's PG.

Now Carter was the second-best in scoring on the team almost tied with Jamison, but even if it looks the same as before the difference was that his average points per game increased, which showed that the team with Jake was attacking better.

Not to mention that Jake also added a lot of defense to the team, with his defensive majority rebounds and his steals he helped the team stop many attacks from opposing teams and could still gain more attacks for the Tar Heels team.

After three days the team was playing again as a visitor, would be the fourth game followed as a visitor which made the games more difficult and wore even more players, only Jake did not feel the fatigue of the game sequences.

Still, with a cheering sequence of 6 victories the Tar Heels team was on very high morale, the opposing team of this eighth game of the season was the LSU Fighting Tigers team, the LSU Fighting Tigers team was another opponent who had a weak team for this season.

That was what worried coach Smith, the team was in a great sequence of victories, but they were gaining only against weaker teams which were essential for the Tar Heels team to win these games to be able to think of winning the NCAA tournament.

In this first game time Jake played very well as always, he played for 15 minutes and managed to make 13 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, and 3 steals, the rest of the team, on the contrary, was not doing their best performance.

Many attacks were lost and so even with Jake making more assists his companions could not make so many points, the team would happily rival also was not having such a good game so, then the team Tar Heels was still with the advantage.

In the second game time, Jake can play for another 14 minutes and made 12 more points, 2 assists, 2 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block, with the whole team making mistakes and not playing as well even Jake ended up having a performance below normal.

Another reason that Jake failed to play as well as it normally was that even though he was the best player in the team during the game, coach Smith decided to let Jake play for less time in the second half of play, maybe even coach Smith wouldn't mind that the Team was playing poorly.

Even so with the good performance of Jake the team ended up winning with a score of 81 points against only 44 points of the team Lsu Fighting Tigers, was a game in which the opposing team was playing very good and the result could be much better if the team was playing normally.

After the game, everyone was happy for this seventh victory followed, but soon the animation cooled when Coach Smith gave a scolded in the whole team, he used this game to show that players could not relax and had to take every opponent seriously and play as best they could.

No one knew how to explain why the team was playing poorly in this game, fortunately, with the good performance of Jake the team can also play a little better in part of the game and they ended up doing many points in the final score of the game.

So Jake understood much less why coach Smith decided to let him play almost 3 minutes less than in the last game, as he was improving the overall performance of the team he should be able to play more time as he had physical conditions for it.

Even though not understanding Jake did not complain and just accepted that this game had been different from the others, and playing 29 minutes was much better than in the time he was in the team reserve, Jake's goal was for the team to win the games and the tournament that would come to.

After the game ended and they went back to university Jake called his mother after talking to his friends about the win, Eva was very happy that Jake would continue winning, but she had gotten used to Jake playing for several games without losing, his friends, on the contrary, they were very excited about it.

As basketball fans, they naturally understood that a college basketball team have a sequel of 7 consecutive victories was an amazing thing to achieve, so they were very happy for Jake and hoped that the Sequence of victories continued.

Even basketball critics were praising the Tar Heels team campaign, they naturally understood that the team was facing many opponents who could be considered weak and who had more chance of winning, yet have more Advantages and winning the games were different things.

This sequence of games was not so tiring so for the team because the classes had finished and were only 4 games before another two-week break for the players, Jake just felt a lot that could not do his pieces of training normally with so many games like this.

Before he did his daily training run 50 km every day at a speed of 29 minutes for every 10 km, he still continued with his training whenever he could, but on days of games, he did not do his racing training to save energy for the game.

So he ended up losing a day of training every two days with this sequence of games, fortunately, thanks to the system he did not even need to train if he did not want to maintain the physical condition for the marathons.

But without training he also could not improve his statistics in that last year he had before his accelerated development ended, he would soon be 18 years old and with 19 years the system had said that he could not improve more as quickly as now.

This sequence of various games also helps Jake much more than training in general, even his basketball skills improve slowly in every game he makes, but what he even needs is more intensive training to improve his endurance and Your strength.

Especially his strength that was now Jake's lowest physical statistic, and that would only get worse after winning a few more major marathons and getting the rewards, so he has to seize this time to improve his strength as much as he could.

While preparing for the next game Jake received a call from Charlie in Palo Alto, California, a few months ago since Jake passed his idea to Charlie and his Ph.D. Friends at Stanford.

"How is the development of the technology and the product that I asked for you, Charlie?"

"I would say that you are doing very well, with the resources you gave us and with our contacts here at Stanford to get the components of the products in which we are testing, we are optimistic about getting a prototype of the product in just over 1 year."

It was a much bigger time than Jake had previously talked to Charlie, but Jake knew that this time was still not what it would really take, he was prepared for it to bring 2 years more, even so, he wanted to negotiate a lower deadline to press the 3 to work harder.

After all, even though Jake had talked all about the technology and what he hoped to see happen, he was talking about a technology that was actually much later than he described.

So Charlie's team would have to practically create a whole new technology from older technology and would still have to optimize it to fit only on a small screen.

It was not for nothing that all of the technological worlds were impressed with the first iPhone, after all, it was a technology that no one thought to use with such efficiency and that greatly facilitated the life of consumers and established the Empire of Apple.

"And what are you working on now?"

"We are still working on the development and study of the touchscreen, we have to develop a little more before we advance to the multi-Touch, then we will have to develop even more the multi-Touch."
