《Be happy with sports 》Chapter 364: College Basketball Season Begins 8
Advertisement
In the coming days, the players were doing lighter training to regain energy for the next games, taking advantage of this light training and still having 4 days between games Jake decided to help Aaron as he had promised.
Next season Aaron would start training with his team, but until he could train with the team he would have to train alone to keep fit, Jake called Aaron to run with him and Zack.
But Aaron was used to doing one more explosive run than the long run as Jake and Zack did, and to improve stamina and stamina Aaron had another kind of training.
Aaron's biggest problem training on his own was his skills as a Wide receiver, he had no way of training his ability to receive passes alone, so he asked Jake for help knowing that he played time on the high school football team.
Even though Jake said he played for a short time Aaron knew that Jake was not a liar and if he can play as the team's initial quarterback without training in the team he should at least know how to pass well.
Jake naturally agreed to help Aaron because he also enjoyed playing football at times and had confidence in making dozens of passes for Aaron without getting tired of his current strength and endurance statistics.
Aaron took advantage of these days that Jake helped to do all the training he needed a quarterback to do and so made the most of Jake's help, he can see in person how Jake was really talented as a quarterback being able to make several accurate passes at a distance of many Yards.
If Aaron had not seen Jake playing basketball he would say it was a pity that Jake did not play football, but Aaron knew that Jake was doing what was best for himself and was also safer.
Jake, not enough of the football world to judge, but he knew Aaron was at least better than all the Wide receiver he played in high school, of course, Jake knew that the Wide receiver needed to have more skills than Jake could not seeing in such a simple training, but just being on the college football team showed how talented Aaron was.
After a few days of training, the day of the next game for Team Tar Heels came, it was another away game and Team Tar Heels would have some more before returning to play at the Dean Smith Center.

Even though as 6 straight wins the team was very confident for this match, coach Guthridge could also work more smoothly with the team without anyone charging him for anything with the team having great results.
After a few hours, both teams were ready to start this game, the opponent in today's game was the team Louisville Cardinals, Jake remembered that this season would not be very good for this team as it was last season, but the players of the team Tar Heels did not know said and were preparing for a difficult game.
For this game the starting team would be what Coach Guthridge considered the top without N'Diaye on the team, Shammond Williams, Carter, Jamison, Okulaja and Jake would play in today's game on the starting team.
But that didn't leave the early players at ease and the reserve team players were still waiting for an opportunity, everyone knew that the 7 players could play in any game and maybe only Jake and Jamison were guaranteed on the team.
This was a game of only 2 quarters as the Tar Heels team players were used to playing, but the strategy used had to be different than it was in the last games, so both teams had to be careful.
Jake knew that Jamison would be playing well in this game as in all this season and Williams would be playing well again, even if Carter was not so good in this game Jake still trusted that he could score more points and help disrupt the opposing team's defense.
In the first quarter the team Tar Heels started attacking well and also pressing in defense, Jake was not afraid of the opposing team and so made quiet moves and this made the players calmer as well.
In the first 10 minutes of the first quarter, Jake was trying some three-point shots to increase the lead and his teammates were also performing well.
So in the rest of the first quarter with a good lead, Team Tar Heels could play more smoothly and this put more pressure on Team Louisville Cardinals, Jake also got some steals and hindered several moves from the opponent.
By the end of the first quarter, the Tar Heels team had a good lead, Jake played for 20 minutes and scored 17 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, and 4 steals. Jake had a good first quarter and made the Tar Heels team more comfortable for the second quarter.
In the second quarter, Louisville Cardinals became more agitated to try to win and the Tar Heels team increased the pressure on the defense, the Tar Heels team attacked calmly so they could quietly play in the second quarter and further increase the lead.

At the end of the game, Tar Heels team won 94 points against 74 points of Louisville Cardinals team, in this second quarter Jake played for 20 minutes and made 18 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds, and 4 steals.
Another good game for the Tar Heels team and that was making the fans happier, but it also made the coach and the players more nervous, after all with a sequence of 7 victories the fans always wanted more and the players too and that was a concern more at game time.
Only at the end of the season when tournaments started did the team's winning streak no longer make so much difference because if the team lost they would be eliminated from the tournaments so winning was a must.
After just a day's rest, the Tar Heels team soon had to travel to do another two-game sequence in two straight days away from home, it was a tiring game sequence for players and Jake knew that this season they would hardly have time to rest.
After a while both teams were ready for the start of the game, the opposing team in this game was the Chattanooga Mocs team, it was another team that Jake remembered that had a good last season, but that this season would not play very well.
The expectation of everyone in this game was the victory of the team Tar Heels and perhaps a more exciting game with many points, Jake knew that this would not be a game of many points and was already prepared for it.
In the first quarter, the Tar Heels team players were excited to play, but within minutes everyone realized that the Chattanooga Mocs players were not playing very well in this game.
Maybe it was a difference between players' ability, but the game wasn't as exciting as the Tar Heels team players expected, yet they still struggled in defense and made the play as usual.
Coach Guthridge also noticed this and asked the players to still work hard and Jake tried to get the Tar Heels team players to save energy on attacking plays.
Jake understood and slowed the attacking pace of the team and just wanted to attack with who was more willing, Jamison was playing well as always and Okulaja also seemed to want to attack, and Carter still wanted to make some moves.
So Jake decided that he would play more with them and not pass the ball to Williams who was playing poorly in this game, Jake also wanted to make the moves and even at a slower pace the team still attacked well in that game.
By the end of the first quarter, the Tar Heels team had a great lead and had virtually secured a win against Chattanooga Mocs who was not doing well in this game, Jake played for 20 minutes and scored 15 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals.
In the second quarter, the Chattanooga Mocs team returned a little better in the game, but the Tar Heels team's huge advantage and strong defense took Chattanooga Mocs's willingness to play, Jake kept attacking at a slow pace and took advantage of the seconds to attack in every move.
So the players from Team Tar Heels didn't get tired and Team Tar Heels could still attack effectively, Jake played well in the second quarter as well and relied on Jamison and the other teammates to secure another win.
The game ended with the victory of team Tar Heels who scored 84 points against 31 points of team Chattanooga Mocs, in this second quarter Jake played for 20 minutes and made 16 points, 3 assists, 4 rebounds, and 4 steals.
It was another good game for the Tar Heels team that was clearly playing so that the players could save energy for next day's game, Jake and Jamison were again the best players of the team and were the best players of the season so far.
Carter was falling a little behind in the best-attacking trio of this team, but Jake couldn't do anything because Jamison was really playing very well and it was easier for Jake to assist with Jamison.
The Tar Heels team crowd was much more excited with this 8-team winning streak and excellent performances from Jake who was the best player on the team and from all universities in recent seasons.
It was interesting that when Jake played on the Tar Heels team he played so well that everyone forgot he was a marathon runner, but when he was running and winning several marathons breaking world records everyone forgot that he played basketball too.

Helena's Plane
Paul, a bored young man, wakes up in a white room. A young woman tells him he has died, that she is some kind of god who likes videogames and he will be reborn in an RPG-esque world so she and her fellow god-friends can watch him for entertainment.Unfortunately, the goddess forgot to give Paul most of the obligatory, obvious cheat-abilities to make him rush to power in easy mode. Paul embraces his new life full of clichés, perverts, magic, loot and action. And animal girls.18+ !CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL CONTENT! (Actual sex is still hard to find, but you will get it. Eventually. Sporadically.) =================Author's note:So, this is my very first novel. It will be poorly written, has a huge info-dump disguised as a first chapter (to be rewritten. At some point in the future. I guess.), and may or may not offend everyone for different reasons. Perhaps you will just find it boring, which would be even worse. The description turned out a bit comedic, but the story isn't overly so.I have a rough idea of where this will be going, but expect some bumps on the road, as well as logic holes, flat characters and a lot of borderline copyright infringements from all the ideas I got reading other works. And did I mention I'm not a native speaker? No? Well, expect some embarrassing grammar and wording choices.The main character is a more or less normal guy, without high morals, martial arts skills or even a desirable goal in life. There is mature content, in terms of violence and sexual content. It won't become a full-blown erotic novel, and it may or may not be your cup of tea when it comes to the type of content.Critics welcome.
