Chapter 486 NBA Season Begins 10
"That’s right, we can see that the players of the San Antonio Spurs team are having a difficult ti playing in attack and defense, Tim Duncan, Avery Johnson, and David Robinson are managing to play well even with the strong defense of the Los Angeles Lakers team."
"But Mario Elis and Sean Elliott are having a hard ti making the attack and defense plays with Kobe Bryant and Jake Smith playing so well, and the Los Angeles Lakers team’s attack has been better in that ga too."
"Jake Smith is making another great ga with 15 points until the break of that ga, he made two beautiful attacking plays and one of those plays ca with a steal he made, Jake has an average in the two gas he played this season of 5 steals per ga."
"Yes, if he continues like that he can break the record on average steals per ga in one season in the NBA, and it has helped the Los Angeles Lakers team this season a lot."
In the third quarter the San Antonio Spurs team wanted the victory so the players started to put more pressure on the attack and defense, Coach Harris also wanted the victory and asked that the team also put more pressure on defense and attack.
In an attack move by the San Antonio Spurs Johnson team ca with the ball and passed it to Elis, Elis quickly passed the ball to Duncan who moved away from Robert Horry who was defending very well against Duncan in that ga.
Duncan tried the mid-range shot to score 2 more points for the San Antonio Spurs team, even though Horry played well in defense and O’Neal tried to help in defense it was difficult to stop Duncan’s attack.
In this ga, because David Robinson was being well defended by Shaquille O’Neal, it was Tim Duncan who had to work harder in the attack to score the points or try to get the rebounds over O’Neal, Bryant, and Jake from the Lakers team.
The Los Angeles Lakers team quickly reacted and Kobe Bryant made one for the individual play and tried the mid-range shot and ended up missing, Shaquille O’Neal caught the rebound and saw that he was pressured by the defense of the opposing players and passed the ball to Jake through left.
Jake received the ball and the defense concentrated on him, so he made a high pass for Shaquille O’Neal to take the high and make the dunk by completing the alley-oop and making 2 more points for the Los Angeles Lakers team.
O’Neal praised Jake again for the pass and they soon went back to defense, Jake made a lot of assists for O’Neal and Bryant and everyone knew that was his style of play, so Fisher didn’t mind not being the player who he was making assists because he knew he would soon be no longer a starting player for the Lakers team.
Coach Harris also knew he could leave the team and wanted to win several gas before he had to leave the team, after all, he could coach other teams after leaving the Los Angeles Lakers.
The San Antonio Spurs team went for another attacking move and after a beautiful move Johnson received the ball further back, Jake was pressing in defense against Elliott, Steve Kerr had taken over from Mario Elis.
Kerr entered the ga much better than Elis and Bryant were having difficulty defending against him, Johnson passed the ball to Kerr from the left, Kerr received the ball and tried the shot from outside and scored with 3 more points for the San Antonio Spurs team.
In another move by the Los Angeles Lakers Fisher team, he ca with the ball and passed it to Kobe Bryant, Steve Kerr was defending against Bryant and O’Neal was resting on the reserve bench, so there was another player pressing in defense against Bryant.
Bryant passed the ball to Jake who was on the left and already advanced to the inside area, Jake received the ball and this ti he had two players defending against him, Jake made a bounce pass with the ball hitting the ground before reaching Kobe’s hands Bryant in the inner area and he dunks to make 2 more points for the Los Angeles Lakers team.
Bryant did not expect to receive a pass with the ball hitting the ground when Jake did not have a clear vision to make the assist, but that was better because the opponents did not wait for this move either.
The third quarter ended with the Los Angeles Lakers team winning and Jake again being one of the best players in the ga, in that third quarter Jake played for 12 minutes and made 9 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals.
"What a great third quarter for the Los Angeles Lakers team, the players on both teams had to rest for a few minutes and Jake Smith didn’t leave the court in that ga again and played the 36 minutes so far."
"In this ga, Jake Smith has received more passes from his teammates and has made more good plays and it seems that he forgot that he is playing at the Alamodo which is ho to the San Antonio Spurs team."
"That’s right, I rarely saw a rookie playing so well in the first gas of a debut season, and even more playing improvised like SF and on a team that has stars like Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant."
"The San Antonio Spurs team is also doing a good ga, Tim Duncan is playing as well as ever and the other players are also working hard, but the Los Angeles Lakers team looks stronger in that ga."
In the last quarter of that ga, the two teams decreased the intensity of the ga even though they were still trying to win the ga, this was because the Los Angeles Lakers team had a big advantage on the scoreboard and all players would have another ga after two days.
Jake continued to play well and so the Los Angeles Lakers team won the ga with 95 points against 69 points for the San Antonio Spurs team, Jake played for 12 minutes in that last quarter and made 7 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, and 2 steals.
Jake got another triple-double in that ga and left all his teammates and the sports dia surprised by his performance, with the first three gas of this season being great and making a triple-double in two of them it was impossible not to recognize Jake Smith’s talent.
"And so the ga ends with another victory for the Los Angeles Lakers team, the first of them playing as a visitor and the third this season, in a shorter season like this a sequence of 3 victories is very important for any team."
"Jake Smith was once again the na of that ga, he made another triple-double with 31 points, 13 assists, and 10 rebounds, this season Jake Smith has averaged a triple-double after that ga."
"This is certainly incredible for any NBA player and Jake Smith is a rookie and plays on a team with Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant, many other rookies have been performing very well this NBA season, but Jake has been showing performance from another level."
"The San Antonio Spurs team played well in the ga today, but against the strong attack of the Los Angeles Lakers team they could not defend well, and being able to defend the San Antonio Spurs team did not win."
"In addition to Jake Smith, Tim Duncan perford well for the San Antonio Spurs team, and alongside the Los Angeles Lakers team Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant played in that ga too."
"That’s right, Smith gets the assists more easily because he can pass the ball to Bryant and O’Neal, the three together had 80 points and 34 rebounds, which shows how important the three players are to the Los Angeles Lakers."
"We will continue to follow the gas of the Los Angeles Lakers team to see if they can win this season’s NBA title with this strong team."
After this excellent ga by Jake, the dia started talking a lot about him, after all, Jake had an excellent debut in the NBA and his first gas could make him the MVP of the season if he continued with these good averages in all gas.
Jake talked to all his teammates and was always very humble, so team stars Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant were not bothered by Jake having more dia attention than they were.
Coach Harris also had no doubts and would put Jake to play as PG in the next ga, after all, he was not so happy with the performance of Derek Fisher in the last gas, for him Fisher was the player who helped less in the victories.
Coach Harris liked how Rick Fox played and Fox was a player who helped in defense and had the quality to score more than 9 points per ga, as the team didn’t have a lot of SF to put, it would be better to let Rick Fox play and Jake playing as PG he played better.
Players would travel to Denver, Colorado to play the next ga, the Los Angeles Lakers team would have a day of rest and training before the next ga, and players needed that day of rest with the intensity of the gas.
Arriving in Denver the players went to rest at the hotel and Jake, who was not so tired, called his mother to talk, Jake talked to his mother every day after the gas.
After all, Eva wasn’t always able to watch the ga in Miami and so Jake called her to tell her about the ga and also to talk to his mother, after all, even though he was so busy, Jake still worried a lot about Eva.
"Hi, mom, how are you today?"
"Is everything okay here, Jake, and how was your ga?"
"It was great, we won that ga and I did a triple-double, in the next ga Coach Harris will put to play in my PG position and if I continue playing well I can guarantee my place in the starting team."
"I’m glad to hear that, Jake, I know that your dream since the age of 10 has always been to play in the NBA, and now you are making that dream co true even though you don’t need that money anymore."
