Chapter 365 College Basketball Season Begins 9

The other day the Tar Heels team already had another game this season, thanks to the last game with a slower pace the players did not spend much energy and were prepared for that game.

Jake had already talked to Coach Guthridge that after this game he would go to Miami to spend a week with his mother, he wanted to take advantage of these opportunities to stay home because this season would be very crowded and players would never have more than a week to relax.

So he would go this time and around Christmas again, because then only in February would the players have some time to rest and spend with their family and then just after the end of the season.

Jake had to enjoy it because he regretted not doing it last season and Coach Guthridge gave Jake more freedom because he knew how great he was in every game and training of the season.

He also wouldn't have time to talk to Matthew and Emily this holiday season and couldn't talk to David Falk, so he would have to delay all the things he had to work out for February next year.

The worst thing for Jake was that he was going to spend his birthday this year at university and couldn't go home as he always did, but he was expecting it when he decided to become a professional basketball player.

After a few hours, both teams were ready to start the game, the opponent in that game was the Virginia Tech team, the Virginia Tech team had a last regular season and Jake remembered that this season would not be very good for this team.

The fans and the media hoped that this was also an easy game for the Tar Heels team because Jake kept playing very well in every game and Jamison also always showed that he deserved to be one of the best players this season.

Jake remembered that Carter and Williams would also be playing well in this game, so he wasn't very nervous about the Virginia Tech team game either, so the team could play willingly because the players would have a week to rest after that game.

In the first quarter, however, the game was different from what Jake thought with Team Virginia Tech trying to pressure Team Tar Heels into both offense and defense, even though Jake could still make the moves his teammates had a harder time making the points.

In defense, Tar Heels managed to hold on well with Jake and the other more focused defense players, so Jake decided to make a few more individual plays until the team could make the attacking moves better.

The opposing defense tried to hinder Jake in the plays, but Jake was skilled and could always get space to make the three-point shot or dribble to layup, but even the opponent knowing it was hard to defend against Jake they couldn't let go. him alone and had to at least try to disturb him.

And that was right because with the pressure of defense even Jake could miss a few shots of three, luckily Jamison helped catch some rebounds and so the Tar Heels team did not miss the attacks.

Even with a tougher first quarter Tar Heels can still attack and defend well and finished the first quarter with a good lead, Jake played for 20 minutes and scored 21 points, 3 assists, 5 rebounds, and 4 steals.

The Virginia Tech team also missed more while trying to attack more willingly to try to beat this first quarter, so Jake and Jamison had more opportunities to catch the rebounds in defense.

At half-time Coach Guthridge made some changes and gave some advice to the players, the players were not tired yet and in the second quarter, it was time for the Tar Heels team to put pressure on attack and defense.

This strategy took Virginia Tech by surprise because they were thinking of slowing down the game so that they could re-press Tar Heels later and try to win, the Tar Heels attacks were much more accurate and strong and the defense then It was even stronger.

Jake started making more assists for Jamison and Carter in the attack and for Williams when he was within the three-point line because in this game Williams was poorly on a three-point play.

Jake continued to attack well in this second quarter and this made the Virginia Tech team have a harder time defending having to worry about Jake, Jamison, Carter, and Williams, so the advantage was only increasing.

At the end of the game, the team Tar Heels won with a great advantage in this game, in the second quarter the team Tar Heels was very well in attack and gave no chance for the team Virginia Tech to react.

Team Tar Heels won by scoring 97 points against just 51 points from Team Virginia Tech, in this second quarter Jake played for 20 minutes and made 19 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, and 4 steals, this was one of the few games Jake ever made the most. 40 points in the season.

The whole team was fine offensively and so Jake couldn't get many moves to score more points, but he was hoping for a special game to try to maybe score 60 points in a game this season which was what Jake wanted.

After this game, the Tar Heels team now had a 9-win streak, the same sequence that the team had last season before losing, so after that week of rest, the players had to come back willingly to try to win the next game.

After the team returned to university Jake celebrated with his roommates and warned everyone that he was going to Miami the next day, he would drop off at university and catch the plane that had already bought tickets before.

Jake had also warned Coach Davis that he could rest with his family this week, it was difficult for Coach Davis to live with his family in a hotel, but even when Jake offered to buy a house Coach Davis said it would only be a waste.

After all Jake would leave college after this season or maybe after another year, so buying a house for such a short time was a waste, but Coach Davis was happy because he was giving a good life to his family and was still able to pay the medicine for his daughter to live a normal childhood without pain.

Not to mention that Coach Davis's job wasn't too difficult because Coach had almost nothing to teach Jake during the year and just a few times that Jake needed help, Coach Davis could even bring his daughter sometimes to accompany Jake's training.

His 9-year-old daughter named Lara was very fond of Jake as well as the coach's wife, so their working relationship was very good and Coach Davis was pleased to be coaching one of the greatest athletes in history like Jake. It would be after winning more gold medals in different modalities of athletics.

The other day Jake returned to Miami to spend a few days with his mother before the next game, Eva didn't know Jake would come this time and that would come as a surprise, but Jake was wise and even if he wanted to make a surprise he still didn't go to the restaurant not to disturb Lola and stayed at home waiting for Eva to return.

After doing his normal training routine, Jake thought of having a special dinner for his mother as it had not been long since she started working at the restaurant, Jake knew that Eva liked to have dinner at home and rarely ate at the restaurant since she started back home early.

Eva knew well that Jake was a great cook and she thought he learned to cook on his own, but the truth was that Jake was an excellent cook after learning how to cook for many years in his past life.

But how strange it would be for someone as young as he was a few years ago to just cook very well. Jake still held back and didn't make the best dishes he knew using all his skills.

In fact, a few months ago Jake had the opportunity to cook at home when Eva was in the restaurant and wanted to make one of the best dishes he knew, and he saw that he cooked even better than in his past life, perhaps because of his increased agility which also increased his dexterity.

As Jake was unsure what he could do he decided to make two dishes that although not the best he could do could please Eva a lot, the dishes he would make were Poutine which was a Canadian dish and Paella that Jake knew that his mother liked it when she ate in Spain.

Jake already knew how to make this dish well, but after going to Spain for the second time with his lighter-hearted mother without the worries he had in his past life, Jake improved even more after eating this dish a few times during the trip.

When Eva got home after working at the restaurant she was very tired but was soon excited to see that Jake was home, she didn't really expect it because she saw Jake's game the day before, but was very happy with that surprise.

After talking for a while, Eve realized it was because Jake wouldn't have time to come to Miami next year, at least he could spend Christmas at home, she understood well how Jake was busy at university and was happy just to find Jake time to come home.

After that Eva and Jake had dinner and she was impressed again to see how Jake had improved as a cook, it was hard to understand why he had almost no time to do anything, but Eva had to admit that the food Jake made was better than everyone else her restaurant dishes.
