《Be happy with sports 》Chapter 361: College Basketball Season Begins 5
Advertisement
"What an incredible second quarter for the Tar Heels team, they came more focused and missed no attacks and the players seemed to be inspired, Jake scored an incredible 16 points in those 10 minutes."
"Scoring 16 points even in an entire game would be a good result for any player and Jake did it in just one quarter, it already shows how he plays differently from the others."
"True, but even with Jake scoring so many points Jamison, Carter, Okulaja, and N'Diaye also scored a few points, it shows the strength of the Tar Heels team this season under coach Guthridge."
"On the other hand the UCLA team had a second-quarter far worse than their first quarter, the players didn't have the ability to beat the defense of team Tar Heels and scored a few points in that quarter and were still very poor in defense."
"That's right, we see the coach fighting with the players for having such a bad performance, but with 31 points on the scoreboard I see nothing more than the UCLA team can do in this game."
While Coach Steve Lavin fought with the UCLA players, Coach Guthridge praised the great game the Tar Heels team players were having that day, everyone was playing well and focused throughout the game.
Coach Guthridge could see how the players he had could have a great future in the NBA or other professional basketball leagues, and he was lucky to coach those players in his first year as a coach after Coach Smith left.
In the third quarter the UCLA team returned to play much better, it seemed that coach Lavin's scolding worked, but the Tar Heels team players were really fine in this game and focused and did not give much space for the UCLA team to make the plays.
Jake kept trying the three-point shots and setting up the shots so that Jamison, Carter and the other players had more freedom to score, yet with the UCLA team playing well the Tar Heels team continued to increase the lead.
By the end of the third quarter, the Tar Heels team increased their lead even further and the UCLA players had already given up on winning that first game, Jake played for 10 minutes and scored 11 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds, and 3 steals.
In the last quarter of this game, the UCLA team returned to play poorly because the players gave up on winning the game, but the Tar Heels team continued playing as in the other quarters of this game and performing very well.

Thus the Tar Heels team won the game to the great advantage and further showing the strength of this team for this season, the Tar Heels team won by 125 points against just 57 points from the UCLA team.
Jake played for 10 minutes in the last quarter and scored 12 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, 3 steals, this was Jake's first triple-double this season and the best team match of the season by Tar Heels team as well.
Such a victory further increased the confidence of the entire team and coach Guthridge and the fans, especially because they had won against a strong team like the UCLA team.
"What a great game for the Tar Heels team in this game, against a strong team like the UCLA team they managed to win with double the opposing team's score and great offensive and defensive performance as well as a great performance of all players."
"Antawn Jamison made a double-double on this one and Vince Carter also had a great offensive game, and Jake Smith was amazing in this game making his first triple-double this season scoring 46 points, it looks like we can see Jake winning all of the prizes again in this season."
"Undoubtedly, on the other side the UCLA team had a bad second quarter and fourth quarter, in the last quarter the players were discouraged because the game was already lost, but the second quarter was a complete inattention of the team."
"In the first quarter the UCLA team players played very well, and in the third quarter after the coach's scolding the team returned to play well, but the game was already lost after the bad second quarter."
"I think this game was an exception and the UCLA team will still have a great season, but the Tar Heels team play the same way since the first game of this season, it's the fourth straight win and it looks like we can see the team making a great season just as it was last year."
Jake and the other team players were very happy after this game, Jake celebrated again with his teammates, he also called Eva to talk to his mother as he always did after games
.
The team didn't have time to train and rest because the next day they had to play another game, they were in a kind of preseason tournament and so they played in four quarters and three days in a row at the Sullivan Arena in Alaska.
This second game would be against the Seton Hall team, which this year would not have a good season despite having some quality players, so the players of the Tar Heels team were not so excited to try hard.

Still, everyone was excited after the victory against the UCLA team in the last game and Jake also wanted to play well in that game, just as in the last game Coach Guthridge decided to leave Williams out of the team.
But in this game as Jake had said nothing, Coach Guthridge decided to let Ed Cota play in place of Shammond Williams to test a different starting lineup, Jake said nothing about it and just prepared for the game.
The truth was that Jake thought that with him playing as PG and setting up the plays and assists the team didn't need another player in that position, but it seemed that Coach Guthridge thought differently from him and so put Cota in this game.
In the first quarter of the game you could clearly see that the players didn't have the same excitement and concentration in the game, Carter didn't seem too excited to attack as much as in the last game and Okulaja was as usual.
Even so Jake, Jamison, and Cota were playing well in offense and defense and so the Seton Hall players were having difficulty making the moves, as Cota was in the team Jake left him to make some plays as the point guard and just made the assists teammates score points.
Everyone could see that clearly after all Ed Cota even though he was a great player didn't have that much quality to play in other positions and only had the best performance as SG, since Jake could play wherever he wanted on the court and not fall in quality.
It seemed that the quality of the gameplay was still the same, and Seton Hall's defense had a harder time defending against Jake and Cota who could assist Carter, Jamison or Okulaja at any moment, or they could just try to shoot from mid-range and the three-point shot.
Even though Team Seton Hall playing well in the first quarter Team Tar Heels still had the full advantage, Jamison still scored as many points as in the last game and even Cota was still hitting more mid-range moves.
Jake played for 10 minutes and made 9 points, 2 assists, 2 rebounds, and 2 steals, even though Jake was still playing as PG and doing some assists with Cota on the team he had fewer opportunities to make assists.
"What a good game we are following today, Team Seton Hall is working hard on defense and attack to beat Team Tar Heels, but players from Team are making a great game today as well."
"This change from Coach Guthridge made the Tar Heels team play differently than all games this season and last season took the Seton Hall team by surprise."
"It just shows how Coach Guthridge has more freedom to change the lineup without losing quality because that team has great players in both the start and reserve."
"This game also shows Jake's incredible adaptability sometimes playing as PG, sometimes as SG and sometimes as SF in this game without disturbing the players who are in that position and so Ed Cota who plays better as PG can do better than he can."
In the second quarter, the team Tar Heels continued to attack well and defended even better, while the team Seton Hall missed much as the team UCLA did in the last game and therefore the advantage of team Tar Heels only increased.
Unlike the last game, however, it was not unexpected that with Team Tar Heels putting more pressure on the defense Team Seton Hall missed more in this second quarter, Jake played for 10 minutes and scored 8 points, 2 assists, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals.
In the third quarter, Team Seton Hall returned to play better and Team Tar Heels kept attacking a lot but did not press the defense because they already had a lot of advantage in the scoreboard, with three games in three days Team Tar Heels could not overreact to not have players very tired or injured.
In the third quarter, Jake played for 10 minutes and scored 9 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, and 3 steals, even though he didn't score as many points and assists as in the last game Jake still focused on defense and got a lot of steals in all quarters.
From the last game Coach, Guthridge had this concern and so besides Jake, the players didn't play more than 30 minutes, Coach Guthridge already knew that at the beginning of the season Jake would have no problem playing three straight games all the time without getting tired.
In the last quarter, Team Tar Heels was still attacking with a will and not relaxing just because they had almost guaranteed victory, Seton Hall also did not relax in the last quarter and kept trying to play well despite knowing that they had already lost the game.
