"That's right, the Purdue Boilermakers team has been the toughest opponent for the Tar Heels team this season, they managed to stop the Tar Heels team's strong attack in the first quarter and so almost managed to finish the first quarter ahead on the scoreboard."

"But with Jake's great first half Tar Heels team ended up ahead in the first quarter, in the second quarter both teams attacked more and with N'Diaye and Okulaja bothering the defending opponent Tar Heels team can score more points."

"True, Miller is playing very well taking advantage of the defensive defenses of the Tar Heels team to score more points, but we have seen that against this very strong offensive team Tar Heels the best way to play against them is to defend."

"Almost every player in the Tar Heels team attack has to stop, so Jake can still score and the opposing team just has to score more points than Jake and win."

The commentator said this and everyone interpreted it as a joke, he said that the opposing team would have to focus completely on the defense and even then it would do no good because Jake would still score the points and besides focusing on the defense the attack would have to make more points than the opponent Jake who excels at three-point play and has an 80% average hit rate this season.

Of course, this was not true because if a team attacked very well without losing too many attacks they could still easily beat Team Tar Heels, which happens to be hard to find a team that can easily pass Jake and Jamison who was in the defense and make the points in almost every attack.

In the second quarter, Jake played for 10 minutes and scored 11 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, and 2 steals, a good second quarter of Jake that made it possible for the Tar Heels team to finish this quarter with even more advantage.

Even though it was a good advantage, it wasn't good enough for Team Tar Heels and it was too small to make Team Purdue Boilermakers discourage, players from Team Purdue Boilermakers were realizing that they could put pressure on Team Tar Heels in this game and that was leaving everyone animated.

Since they were losing the game, the Purdue Boilermakers team decided to attack with everything in this third quarter instead of just defending what they were thinking of doing, Miller was the focus of that team in the attack because the other players in the attack were having a hard time attacking.

After the first 2 quarter Jake already knew how the Purdue Boilermakers team attacked and was prepared to help N'Diaye further in defense to disrupt plays with Miller, the Tar Heels team also wanted to attack a lot in that last quarter to ensure victory.

Shammond Williams was playing well in the offense, but didn't seem to want to try too much of three points and had missed four shots that he tried, so Jamison had already scored a lot with Jake and Williams had not even scored 10 points by the end of the second quarter.

So Jake called him before the start of the third quarter and told Williams to try more three-point shots because he trusted him to win, which made Williams more excited to try.

In defense early in the third quarter, Purdue Boilermakers tried to make the attacking move and Jake managed to intercept the pass, he used his speed to run to the attack side of the court and the opponents could not keep up with him and Jake finished the play with a dunk.

With that, the Purdue Boilermakers team had to be more careful when attacking so that Jake did not intercept the passes, in another attacking move Jake went to Williams who was free to the left, but Williams was so excited to make the three points that ended up stepping in line of three points and thus the play was worth only 2 points.

But with that he was more confident of making more moves like this in the third quarter, in defense Jake seized a moment that Miller was distracted and made a block on him, this was Jake's first block of the season.

In this third period the team greatly increased the advantage because the offensive part went very well and the defense, even more, thanks to the confidence that Jake gave to him, Williams made 2 plays of 3 points and 8 points in this quarter just missing 1 move.

In this third quarter Jake played for 10 minutes and made 8 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 3 steals, was one of Jake's best quarters of the season, he was already fully recovering the pace he had at the end of last season.

Even with much difference in the scoreboard and the victory already almost guaranteed for the team Tar Heels, the Purdue Boilermakers team still returned to play well in this last quarter of the game, they did not give up and played well as in every game.

Even with Jake helping the defense, Miller still managed to score several points in this game, in the last quarter Jamison was attacking well and Williams hit two more three-point shots and scored eight more points in this last period.

So the Tar Heels team won this game very well even with the Purdue Boilermakers team also playing very well, in this fourth quarter Jake played for 10 minutes and made 9 points, 2 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 block, and 3 steals.

Tar Heels team won by 89 points against 67 points by Purdue Boilermakers, it was the hardest game for the Tar Heels team and Shammond Williams was the one who helped Tar Heels team to win more than Jake in that game.

"We had a great game here today, Team Tar Heels and Team Purdue Boilermakers played very well and Team Purdue Boilermakers was a nice surprise in this game, with Miller making a good game they fought for victory and in the first quarters of the game."

"But with Jake playing very well as always Tar Heels team always got the lead on the scoreboard, after the third quarter the Purdue Boilermakers team kept fighting, but Jake made 3 blocks in that game and 9 steals prevented several major Purdue Boilermakers attacks."

"In addition, Jake made another double-double with 37 points and 10 assists that helped the Tar Heels team win in this game."

"That's right, what we saw in this game is the strength of the Tar Heels team even when a defensive problem arose, Coach Guthridge worked well with the team and from the second quarter onwards the whole Tar Heels team was already reacting better to the team attacks Purdue Boilermakers."

"Even if the Purdue Boilermakers team got an advantage in the first two quarters the team could still react before the end of the game and win."

"True, but I still think Jake is very important to this team and makes everything easier, with Jake on this team I find it hard for them to lose if the other players play normally."

After this game the Tar Heels team had a 6-win streak and could not be a better start for a team that needs confidence with a new coach, the crowd was also excited and Jake had already become a fan idol in less than two years playing in the team.

So everyone came back happy to the university and could rest, after three games in three days in a row the players were tired for the first time this season, everyone knew that the season had not even officially started and had many months for this team to play.

Jake called his mom to talk about the games of the last days and they talked about other things like the restaurant, Jake sometimes called Anna secretly to know how Eva was in the restaurant and it showed how he cared about her.

Anna said everyone in the restaurant was fine and that they were starting to change the menu again, a long time ago since the last time the restaurant changed the menu and customers needed new things.

Jake knew well how to cook that he even received compliments from Anna, but he tried not to comment on the restaurant menu because he had confidence in Anna's wisdom and wanted his mother to try to create something too.

Jake also celebrated with his roommates and so can rest peacefully, the other day Jake returned to normal training with the basketball team and also returned to daily training with Zack racing.

Jake had already talked to David Falk and after a few months they would talk about Jake's willingness to get into the 1998 draft, Jake already had the ability to do that and could even be number one this season but Jake wanted more than that and maybe wanted to try to talk about the team he wanted to play in the next few years.

David Falk was very excited to be the sports agent after Jake's excellent last season, even though Jake competing in marathons was a reason for David to get excited because it would only increase Jake's market value.

So maybe this was just the right time for Jake to join the NBA, so the NBA would have a big change in both business and retirement of major players, and it was important that Jake could settle in the NBA before this storm to become perhaps the player who made the fans keep watching the NBA for years to come.

Not to mention that the sponsors will be looking for a new star player to invest in and Jake has already confirmed his ability to bring profits to the companies he sponsors, David Falk was already negotiating some excellent contracts that would have yet to be approved by Jake, but himself was happy about that.

The hardest thing for David was Jake's request for contracts not to be longer than 4 years, this could hurt himself with market instability, but David tried to do so because he had confidence that Jake could only improve in the coming years.
