《Be happy with sports 》Chapter 92: National Championship 4
Advertisement
Soon came the day of the third game of Jake, the opponent of this game would be the Chameleons team, it was a team similar to the Elite team, only that its general strength was smaller.
A team with a good stable attack and also a good defense, and the highlight of the team was also the PG who was called John, the PG controlled the attacks well and was also good with the shots of 3.
But as it was seen in the last game in which they narrowly won, John was not hiding any of his abilities, so it was a weaker team than the Elite team that had stronger overall strength and Jake also did not show all his skills.
But this was not what the reporters and general members of the audience thought came to see the game today, they thought that the two teams had the same strength and that the Chameleons' team only had more difficulty in the last game because the opponent was more strong than the Cats.
This was normal because people were only misinformed and could not see the game of the two teams to compare, in addition, in addition to Eric waiting for the Elite team's victory in the national championship no reporter cared to research Jake's performance in the year past.
They could not be blamed, reporters only cared to research the results of the teams and not the players in particular, just as Jake did something that could not be considered normal that was to change schools no one thought was his second national championship.
Even Carter who came to play the final last year and was considered as one of the best players of the defense has not been recognized by any reporter so far.
That was the biggest difference between professional championships and school championships, for reporters there were no individual stars in schools because they did not bother remembering the name of a good player who would grow and leave that school in a few years.
Only later when the player continued to make good games until reaching the NBA, after reaching that level yes the players' names would be remembered and the reporters would even talk about the time when they were younger and stand out in their schools.
At this point, Eric was different, from the moment he met Jake he hoped that Jake could become an NBA player in the future, so he was following Jake's whole career from a young age while doing his job.

In fact, Eric had already been promoted to be able to follow bigger and more important games for the good performance that he did in the last year, but Eric decided to wait to follow Jake as much as possible and his decision was correct so far he can do some more stuff and be more praised.
The game began and the ball was again for Elite team possession, with Mark on the team it was difficult for the opponent to have the first ball of the game, Jake received the ball and started the first attack of the game.
He advanced to the attack calmly and after reaching the 3-point line sent the ball to Mark to make the first two points with a layup.
As Mark was good at attacking also he became the safety player for Jake, whenever he passed to Mark he was sure to have 2 points, it was to have a player like Mark of reference that Jake worked so hard to train Owen on his team last year.
A good center that could make the points and catch the rebounds was like the right arm of a good PG, a reliable player, although Owen was not that good, it was only with his help that Jake could take his team to the National Championship.
It was not for nothing that most of the time the Centers were the players always loved by their teams in the NBA.
The game continued and in the first attack of the Chameleons, John arranged quietly passed to the SF of his team that made the 2 points to tie.
They were calm and did not fear the Elite team, maybe they thought the same as the reporters that the Elite team had a weak opponent.
Jake did not care that he would just play as always and he had confidence that they would win as always, his whole team was strong and so he thought no one stood out much, but opponents seemed to think they did not stand out because they were weak.
This difference of vision and mentality made them lose the right was to face each game of the national championship as if it were the last, for Jake if his team was behind the score after a period he was already aware and changed the way to play.
But the other teams had a mentality of thinking they could recover easily and only in the last period began to worry, it's too late to do anything.

The two teams had a slow game, nobody forced myth in attack or defense, but as Jake expected even with a game so the Elite team finished the first period with 4 points ahead.
And as Jake also hoped the Chameleons team did not care for that small advantage and they continued playing the same way, and after the third period to have finished the Elite team was 14 points ahead, and when the Chameleons team tried to do something it was already too late.
And the game ended with the Elite team winning with 18 points on the scoreboard, Eric who was watching the Elite team's game style since the first regional championship game had already realized this feature of the Elite team game.
It was like a quicksand where if you did not pay attention you would sink, and when you realized it was too buried to be able to go out alone, only with the help of someone could the team escape.
In basketball that someone could be a star player that was differentiated, only this type of player could do something special and lead the team to victory.
But even if such a player appeared to try to turn the game to the Elite team he was also prepared for it, if the opposing team came out of the quicksand Jake was like an eagle flying around to make sure victory.
In fact in Eric's vision, although Jake has all the skills to be a star, he does not have an individualistic personality that the stars usually have, star players know how to play as a team but prefer to do it all alone, Jake was the opposite of him he knew how to do everything on his own, but he would rather trust his team.
But for Eric that was just a thing of the age, when Jake got to a big stage like the NBA where the star player stands out more than the whole team he would start to change forever wanting to show off his skills.
After the game ended Jake headed straight home to contain his victory over his mother, Eva just as Jake was happier the more Jake won because she knew the national championship trophy was coming.
And as the days went by came another week and the Elite team had their fourth win in the national championship, the team they faced in that game was about the same level as the Chameleons team and they were defeated in the same way.
Many reporters said that the Elite team was lucky enough to catch the easier opponent among the last 8, but no matter what everyone said Jake's team reached the top 4 of the national championship, it was impossible for an unmanned team to get so far in a championship.
So many coaches and reporters have tried to study the reason why the Elite team can reach the top 4 with no apparent prominence in their first striking appearance in a basketball championship.
Reporters and coaches felt that the Elite team was the weakest of the last four, and so reporters began to research more about this team later, and so they discovered many interesting things to do in various subjects.
They found that the 5 Elite team players had come from 5 different teams and that everyone playing for this team even with weaker teams was able to reach the national championship and they were invited to the Elite school.
Carter was a team that made it to the final last year this year because they lost their top players and can not make it to the national championship, and Jake had a much weaker team than the other 4 and doing most of the points of the team brought them to the national championship.
And despite losing only in the first game lost to Carter's team that reached the final narrowly, so could have gone further if the opponent was another, so everyone would start paying more attention in that PG for the next games.
They also discovered that it was not just with the Middle School basketball team, many other sports teams also invited students from other schools and were now all coming to the national championship.
This gave a warning to the other schools that started to complain to prohibit that the Elite school could continue doing this for the next years, otherwise they would always be the winners relying on students coming from the schools of the others.

Phantom Storm
"Have you heard, the entire Bonanno crew was brutally murdered!" Exclaimed a youth in his early teens. "What? you're lying, again!" Another similarly aged child responded with crisp denial in his tone. After all, the crew was infamous for their ruthlessness. An eery silence passed between them. Soon enough, the teens' curiosity trumped his ego, and he found himself inquiring in a meek voice. "So...Who did it?" "I heard my father talking about it while he was drunk. Guess what he said?..." The child responded, he was a natural-born storyteller. Listening intently, the other teen urged him on. "It was done by a single person. When the police arrived, the bodies were charred black, likely the work of an electro mage. Most had an arrow or two lodged in their body, and a few were even chopped into neat little slices by a sharp blade." He paused, inhaling sharply. "All the victims had shocked expressions on their faces. As if the enemy was invisible or something. That's why they call that person the Phantom Storm!" concluded the adolescent with an excited glint in his eyes. 2 CHAPTERS PER WEEK (Canada time) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] -------------------------------------------- Follow Itsuki as he is reincarnated in an unfamiliar world, left to discover where he belongs in such a place.
