《Be happy with sports 》Chapter 383: Continuing the Winning Streak 7
Advertisement
"The Florida State team has no pressure to win that game and came to try to beat the Tar Heels team and take revenge for the defeat in the game a few weeks ago."
"It's true, for sure the Tar Heels team is the biggest favorite to win this game, the whole team is having an excellent performance this season, Jake and Jamison are playing to be the best players of the season among all the teams."
"So if they play normally they already guarantee victory in that game."
Just as the commentators said the fans and the players of the Florida State team also thought, they didn't have much motivation if the team was better this season they could even be excited to be the team that defeated the Tar Heels team.
But in the current situation, the chance of them winning this game was minimal and they had to hope that the players on the Tar Heels team had a bad performance so that they had the opportunity to win this game.
The Tar Heels team decided to start putting pressure on the attack, Jake increased the pace of the Tar Heels game and the Florida State team had to work hard to defend themselves, Jake also wanted to stand out in this game because of the poor performance he had in the last game.
In the first minutes of the game, the Tar Heels team was hitting all the attacks and Jake was drawing attention from the Florida State team's defense and making great assists, so the Tar Heels team got a small advantage on the scoreboard.
In another play the Florida State team advanced after the ball passed almost all the players, LaMarr Greer tried the shot and missed and Jake managed to catch the rebound, Jake quickly advanced to attack.
He did not intend to move forward to try to make a dunk after getting a counterattack, but he wanted to move quickly with his teammates to try to greatly increase the lead on the scoreboard so that the Tar Heels team players could relax.
Before going through the middle of the court, Jake passed the ball to Jamison on the left, Jamison advanced and soon the opponent players arrived pressing in defense, Jamison and Jake were the players who received the most attention from the Florida State team defense.
So Jamison had no choice but to pass the ball to Williams who was behind him, Williams received the ball and held the ball before passing it to Jake who was further behind, Jake received the ball and tried to make a feint pretending he was going to advance to the area painted.

Jake did a step back and was free to try the shot from outside, when he tried the shot from outside the opponent player came suddenly and tried to make a block, Jake made a fadeaway and hit the outside shot making the three points and still got a foul and can make 1 more point.
The crowd was excited by this move and started to make it even louder at the Dean Smith Center, Jake hit the Free Throw and scored another point making a four-point move, he was surprised in that move because he did not expect the opponent defender to try the block.
Jake did not like to do the fadeaway because doing so he knew it lessened the chance that he would hit the shot from outside, but just because he didn't used to do the fadeaway multiple times didn't mean he wasn't good at it.
In another move, a player from the Florida State team tried to make a layup when Jamison was defending and he was not well-positioned, seeing this opportunity Jamison made the block and Carter got the ball.
Carter advanced slowly to the attack and passed the ball to Jake, Jake continued to advance and before the three-point line held the ball, Jake looked at the pass options and when no one expected he made a high pass.
Jamison hoped for this and jumped to receive assistance from Jake at the top and do the dunk to complete the alley-oop and get 2 more points for the Tar Heels team, this move started with Jamison's block and ended with Jamison doing the 2 points with a dunk after an alley-oop.
Jake knew that the Tar Heels team players were frustrated with the team's performance in the last game and just as he was trying to make a great game, so he kept a fast pace in attacks until more than half of the 1st half of the game.
This tired the players of the Tar Heels team, but even more tired the players of the Florida State team who could not stop the players of the Tar Heels team and even in the attack were not able to pass through the defense of the Tar Heels team.
Jake was getting a lot of assists and steals and was also hitting several three-point plays when the Florida State team's defense gave him freedom, so this was a satisfying 1st half for Jake.
The Tar Heels team ended the 1st half winning with a good advantage on the scoreboard thanks to the great performance of the players, this made the players of the Tar Heels team more relaxed and forgot a little the pressure of having to keep winning.

In this 1st half, Jake played for 20 minutes and had 27 points, 9 assists, 6 rebounds, and 6 steals, this was perhaps being Jake's best game of the season so far and Jamison, Carter, and Williams were also playing well.
"What a great game for the Tar Heels team in this 1st half, the whole team is playing well and Jake is playing an excellent game that may be his best 1st half of the season, Jake did just that first half of the game that many would be happy with to achieve in an entire game."
"It's true, in the last game Jake also played well but compared to what he was doing during the season, he was slightly below his great performance, in this game he is doing what he wanted in this game and also in the last game."
"The Florida State team's defense has no choice but to make a more focused defense on Jake, but with that, he managed to make great assists and the other players had more freedom to score."
"In the 2nd half, the Florida State team has to try to go more into the attack if they want to try to win in that game, and the players of the Tar Heels team will no longer have as much pressure for the victory and the pressure will be all over the Florida State team that is playing as a visitor."
As commentators said the Florida State team would have to try to attack if they wanted to win the game, but at the end of the 1st half the advantage of the Tar Heels team was already very large and this discouraged the players from the Florida State team.
So contrary to what everyone expected, the Florida State team decided to focus more on defense in the 2nd half to try not to lose with such a big advantage in that game, seeing that the Tar Heels team was not afraid and Jake decided to keep pressing in the attack.
Jake already knew that the defense of the Florida State team could not stop the attack of the Tar Heels team, and this was a good game to increase the confidence of his teammates achieving a victory with a great advantage on the scoreboard and thus continue the sequence of victories.
In another move Jake managed to make a steal and advanced the ball with speed to the attacking court, there was only one player who had been further behind in the attack of the Florida State team who could still follow Jake on the counterattack.
Jake continued at speed and was advancing in a way that the Florida State team player who was on defense could not find the opportunity to try the steal or even make the foul.
Jake advanced with speed and close to the painted area the opposing player managed to turn to try to make the foul on Jake, Jake advanced with speed and took a second long step to the left and soon made a turn that the opponent did not expect and ended this move with a dunk to make 2 more points for the Tar Heels team.
This was the unstoppable Spin Move that was a LeBron James dribble that Jake had used several times and was a known move of him in basketball, with this move the crowd became more animated and the players of the Tar Heels team more confident.
Even with the Florida State team playing the 2nd half trying to defend more than attacking the Tar Heels team, it was very good in that game and increased the advantage on the scoreboard much more and that discouraged the players from the Florida State team.
So the game ended with the team Tar Heels winning the game making 131 points against 48 points of the Florida State team, the team attacked willingly until the end of the game and the Florida State team gave up trying to win the game after 10 minutes of the 2nd half.
In that 2nd half Jake played for 20 minutes and made 25 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds, and 6 steals, it was one of Jake's best games of the season and he made his second quadruple-double of the season.
"What an amazing game we are watching today, the Tar Heels team achieved a great victory against the good Florida State team, and it was a very convincing victory with the Tar Heels team doing more than double the opponent's points."
"The Tar Heels team had a great defensive game as well that really got in the way of the Florida State team that failed to score many points in that game."
"But the main point of this game was the 131 points of the Tar Heels team, all the players of the Tar Heels team were fine Jamison, Carter, and Williams had a good game and managed to score a lot of points and even Okulaja can score some points in that game."
"But the highlight of the Tar Heels team in that game was certainly Jake with 52 points, 17 assists, 11 rebounds, and 12 steals, his second quadruple-double of the season and playing very well."

Making of a Genius [A Progression LitRPG]
What does it take to climb to the top of the academic ladder? Lexus came face to face with his mediocrity the moment he arrived at Cambridge University to study computer science. There was a ceiling that he could not overcome, an intellectual world that was unreachable. But if you give a chicken an eagle's wings, it will fly higher than you could ever imagine. And that was exactly what happened to Lexus: with the help of a system, he could make it big. Schedule:1 chapter per week (every Friday evening at 5:30pm GMT). The weekly schedule is to allow time for research and factual accuracy where required. Author's Note: The story is about a computer science student at university, gradually improving and embarking on the path to become a world-renowned genius-level expert with the help of a system. There'll be a lot of studying and academics, but imagine being the best in your year. Easily. At that point, academics stops being stressful and starts being fun, doesn't it? The initial chapters are heavy on mathematical detail, but I don't expect anyone to actually read through them thoroughly. It's fine to skim them or even skip them, but I hope you try to get a sense of the progress being made, and feel happy for Lexus when something 'clicks' inside his brain :) As the story progresses, later chapters will go into less depth into individual questions, though I aim to remain consistent in terms of scientific accuracy/feasibility. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy the story!
