Chapter 411 Training for the Movie 5
Because of the defense of the Tar Heels team that was well in the ga and with the good attack of the Tar Heels team, the Duke Blue Devils team was having difficulty to diminish the advantage that the Tar Heels team had in the ga.
Even so with the good ga in the 2nd half of the Duke Blue Devils players and several mistakes by the Tar Heels team players they managed to diminish the advantage, but with less than 10 minutes left in the ga they realized they would not be able to win any more in that ga.
The players of the Tar Heels team also realized this and were able to relax even more and managed to play even better without so much pressure, the only problem was the fatigue of the players and also because the Duke Blue Devils team did not give up the victory.
Even so, the Tar Heels team players continued to run really tired because they knew they would have more than 5 days to rest before the next ga in the ACC tournant, so the ga continued to be exciting even though the Tar Heels team had a good lead on the scoreboard.
In another play Jake advanced with the ball and passed the middle of the court and passed the ball to Carter from the left, Carter was playing well in that ga even though he couldn’t score as many points as Jake and Jamison.
Carter advanced until after the three-point line and passed the ball to Williams on the right, Williams was open on the right and the defense did not press because Williams did not try so many shots from outside when he played with Jake.
Williams passed the ball to Jamison on the left and the Duke Blue Devils team’s defense imdiately put pressure on him, Jamison tried the play and seeing that he couldn’t move forward, he passed the ball to Jake who was coming back in the middle.
Jake was within the three-point line and had freedom because he had tricked a defender before receiving the ball, other players on the Duke Blue Devils team soon ca to defend against Jake and he signaled to Carter.
Carter understood that Jake wanted to make the sa move as the 1st half and ca to make the screen, Carter hindered the player who was defending against Jake, so he can advance to the right and soon so players approached Jake to prevent him from making the mid-range shot.
What nobody expected was that Jake made a high pass for Carter to take the top and make a dunk and complete the alley-oop and make 2 more points for the Tar Heels team, after making the screen the defender who was defending against Carter went to defend against Jake so that Carter can enter the painted area alone and Jake did alley-oop with him.
This was a move that they trained a lot in the training of the basketball team, both knew that sotis the opposing players would prefer to defend against Jake and so Carter would be free to do the dunk, in the 1st half it didn’t happen and Jake took advantage of the space and hit the three-point shot.
With Jake playing so well and the Tar Heels team players were also performing well even though they were more tired, with the team so they managed to win this ga more.
The Tar Heels team won the ga by making 82 points against Duke Blue Devils’ 72 points, with this victory the Tar Heels team had a sequence of 55 victories in a row, the players celebrated this a lot because they thought the greatest pressure they had decreased.
The Tar Heels team still had to win all the remaining gas to win the ACC tournant and the NCAA tournant, but all the teams had the sa pressure on them and that would no longer be a problem for the players.
In that 2nd half, Jake played for 20 minutes and made 14 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds, and 6 steals, with Jake’s triple-double in that ga he helped the Tar Heels team win this ga that they would have lost if he didn’t was playing like he did before Jake went back in ti.
"And so another ga of the season ends this year, the last ga at the ACC conference before the start of the ACC tournant, the Tar Heels team achieved another good victory in this difficult ga and thus managed to increase the sequence of victories for their team."
"This is very good because after this ga all the opposing teams will also have the pressure of having to win because they will be eliminatory gas and a defeat ans the elimination of the ACC tournant."
"Players on the Tar Heels team will have more than 5 days to rest before the first ga of the ACC tournant, so players can recover completely and if they play as well as today it is possible for them to win that ga."
"It’s true, the players of the Duke Blue Devils team played very well in that ga and made it one of the most difficult gas for the Tar Heels team to win this season, but with Jake’s defense very strong and also Jake, Jamison, Williams, and Carter in the attack it was difficult for them to win this ga."
"But we can see how the players on the Tar Heels team have a problem with their physical condition after several gas in a row except for Jake, so if those teams face each other in the ACC tournant, another exciting ga that the Duke Blue Devils team can achieve can happen. the victory."
Everyone could see that in this ga even the players of the Tar Heels team performing well had it not been for Jake they would have lost this ga, the physical condition of the players was a problem because everyone had to play many minutes in every ga because the coach Guthridge was unable to place the reserves and risk the team losing the ga.
In the reserve they had Makhtar N’Diaye who could be considered one of the main players of the team, the team also had Ed Cota who played very well and the young Brendan Haywood who had a good performance in training.
The problem was that N’Diaye and Haywood were players who had more defensive characteristics and that was contrary to the Tar Heels team’s playing style this season, and Ed Cota who could be a starting player on any team couldn’t get in because his highlight it was the assists that Jake did even better than he did.
If Ed Cota was still a player like Shammond Williams who scored a lot of points he could join Jake to help the team by making assists and points, but as he was not very skilled at scoring a lot of points he had no place on the team this season.
What Coach Guthridge thought was the sa as Jake thought that these players would be very important in the next seasons with Team Tar Heels when Jake, Jamison, Williams, and Carter left.
Brendan Haywood would be one of the best players on the Tar Heels team for the next seasons and Ed Cota would also lead the team for his next two years at the university, the problem was that on this team they had no place to play.
Coach Guthridge was concerned that the Tar Heels team would have three gas in a row if they reached the final of the ACC tournant and they thought the players would not be able to take those gas in a row.
When Jake was considering joining the Tar Heels team to leave Caron Indoor Stadium for them to return to the university, a reporter stopped Jake and asked to do a quick interview with him.
Jake usually didn’t accept doing interviews, but after a good ga and before the ACC tournant he was in a very good mood and agreed to do the interview with this reporter when Jake accepted he realized that the reporter didn’t seem to expect him to accept, but soon prepared the questions.
"Mr. Smith, the Tar Heels team has been having one of the best seasons in the team’s history and after that ga, there are 55 gas without losing, what do you feel about being part of a team that will surely be known in history?"
"I am very happy with this, it is an important mont in my career and I am happy to be in this team with my teammates, we always make our greatest effort in the gas and that is why we are achieving this sequence of incredible gas."
"Many mbers of the dia and even basketball fans say that you are the best player on the current Tar Heels team and one of the best college basketball players in history, what do you think about that?"
"I’m happy when I get complints from the sports dia and Tar Heels team fans and basketball in general, but I don’t think I can say I’m the best player on my team, we have a good team and I have good teammates that if they can’t play a ga for so reason the ga would be much more difficult."
"I myself could not participate in a ga and my team still managed to win showing that they do not depend on to win, I believe that I am the best of my team and maybe in the whole College basketball playing as PG, but my teammates stand out in other positions as well."
The reporter was intelligent and asked questions that everyone wanted to know and that he knew Jake would not refuse to answer and also always asked the question indirectly so that Jake could easily give an answer that would not offend anyone as he was doing.
"And what do you think the Tar Heels team can achieve this season? Do you expect to win the ACC tournant and the NCAA tournant again?"
"For sure, I believe that our team has the quality to win the ACC tournant and the NCAA tournant and we will do our best to win, our goal is to win and I believe we are able to achieve that."
Jake did a quick interview and the reporter thanked him several tis for his attention, Jake had said so things that could irritate so players and so teams, but he really had confidence that they would win and if the Tar Heels team really won he wouldn’t be called an arrogant.
