Chapter 358: Chapter 358 College Basketball Season Begins 2

Chapter 358 College Basketball Season Begins 2

After the game was over everyone celebrated and Jake also celebrated after returning to his dorm with his friends, Jake also called his mother who said she watched the game and was very happy.

After that first win, Jake could feel that the mood at the Tar Heels team training was much better, the players were still nervous about Coach Dean Smith leaving, and they were worried about what it would be like to play with Coach Bill Guthridge leading the team.

But after this first win the players realized that everything was as it was before, Jake thought that if the team continued to win the players would be more comfortable and play even better.

After this first game, the very competent coach Guthridge realized the mistakes the team made with the lack of a player in the Center position and used the next few days of training to correct it.

One good thing that everyone noticed in this game was that the physical condition of the Tar Heels team players was very good, not many teams would have the players so well prepared for the new season.

By those days Jake and his roommates were already adjusting to the university routine again, Jake was very happy because it looked like Aaron had been able to join the football team again.

Unlike basketball, the College football season started in August and ended in December, so Aaron could just start playing for the team and officially enter next season.

Even though Jake was happy for his friend who could still play third and fourth year on the university football team, Jake had heard that Aaron was really very talented in football and just before the start of season one he got hurt which annoyed the university that took his sports bag.

But Aaron's dedication to fully recovering from his injury and continuing to college even without his sports scholarship and still being able to recover his best condition in a year left the team coach moved and so he sent Aaron back to the team.

Now Aaron would keep striving and training alone until the team resumed normal training after this season was over, he couldn't go back to training now because the season was almost over and that could affect the rest of the team in some way.

This made Jake very happy for his friend who might now have an opportunity perhaps someday to play in the NFL by playing two seasons on the college football team, of course, Jake knew this was very difficult to happen, but it was possible.

William was also struggling hard in class, and in the past two semesters he had good grades with Jake's help and his effort, Jake believed that if William kept striving this way and had opportunities he could make a lot of money working on stocks.

Jake just thought it was a pity that William had no interest in working in companies, otherwise Jake would even give him an opportunity, after all, Jake didn't need anyone to work on stocks with him, after all, he only invested when he knew the stock could have an excellent result.

Who Jake was betting for after college was Haruto he met at a lecture late last semester, Haruto was very smart and hardworking and was looking for a job after finishing college.

Besides, he was a big fan of Jake because he is a basketball player and also working as an actor, so Jake hoped he could work with Haruto after college.

They also became more friends and even went out to dinner sometimes when Jake couldn't be with his roommates, Haruto was studying a course related to Jake's and was in a year longer at university.

Zack still continued training with Jake every day and now had more calm and confidence to do the daily training, he ran 25 km every day and would continue to do so until again to the 30 km every day.

He was happy too because women were more interested in himself than Zack being very handsome after he got in great shape by running so much with Jake, so all was well with all of Jake's friends at the university.

Jake also continued his alternating training on one day running the 50 km at the fastest pace he was used to and on another day running the 10,000 meters 3 times with a time that was comfortable for Jake.

Coach Davis knew that Jake was able to improve his running pace in these two workouts, but he was concerned that Jake's body would not be able to withstand a more intense training routine.

Coach Davis did not know that Jake had a system-enhanced body and thought it was unnecessary to force more on training since Jake was already able to easily win marathons today and was not even competing in the 10,000 meters.

So next year's vacation after the end of the basketball season Coach Davis could calmly consider whether Jake was able to improve much more and support the new, more intensive training routine.

Jake didn't know what Coach Davis was thinking, but he agreed that it was no hurry to improve his training further before he received the Tokyo Marathon reward next year.

So after a few more days of training came the day of Team Tar Heels's second game of the season, Team Tar Heels would have to travel that day to play a game as a visitor, yet everyone was excited after the first game.

After a few hours, both teams were ready to start the game, the opposing team in this second game was the Richmond Spiders team, it was another team that the Tar Heels team had faced last season even though it was another conference and easily won the game too.

Jake also remembered that the Richmond Spiders team had almost the same team as last season and yet had a very good season this year just putting the reserve players from the previous year to play.

Jake remembered that very well because he found it all the more interesting because these reserve players weren't all freshmen last season and just weren't put in because the coach decided to put the senior players on the team.

"We are going to follow Tar Heels' team second game this season today, after winning the first game everyone still wants to see how the Tar Heels team will play in the second game."

"It's true, surely the Tar Heels team is being watched the most this season because it's a very strong team that has been in the NCAA tournament almost every year and even won the NCAA title last year."

"And this season this team gets even more attention because they are without coach Dean Smith and there is still Jake Smith who is the best college player today."

"That's right, and from what we saw in this first game in addition to the different formation the team is playing the same way with Jake controlling the creative part of the team and helping out on points and defense and Jamison and Carter playing very well too."

"We can say that the team is playing almost the same way because Coach Guthridge who took over the team this season has been Coach Dean Smith's assistant coach for all these years."

In this game from the start, the Tar Heels team wanted to press into the attack to take advantage and make the Richmond Spiders team more nervous, and with Jake, Williams, Jamison, and Carter the team could easily do that.

Jake advanced with the ball past the middle of the court and passed Carter on the left, Carter advanced quickly and stopped the ball before the three-point line, Carter got the feint and got rid of the defender and advanced to the painted area.

Another defender followed and Carter passed the ball to Jamison who was in front, Jamison held the ball and when the defense approached he passed to Jake who was in the middle, Jake faked the mid-range shot and managed to fool the opponent and drive to the basket to make 2 points with a dunk.

Since Jake was known for his ability to do three-point and mid-range shots, he was more likely to go to the painted area and do the dunk or layup, and even if he didn't get the feint he could use his speed to pass by the defenders and make the points for the team Tar Heels.

After scoring the first points, Team Tar Heels stood firm in defense to prevent Team Richmond Spiders from attacking freely and making points, yet Team Richmond Spiders managed to score points with difficulty.

But the game continued at this pace until the 10th minute of the first quarter, with pressure from Team Tar Heels and players from Team Richmond Spiders failing to stop Jake from scoring and assists Team He He got a 10-point lead and then decreased the offensive intensity in the game.

"What a strong start for the Tar Heels team in this game, almost 10 minutes of intense offensive intensity from the players and with a team with talented players like the Tar Heels team they got 10 points in the middle of the first quarter."

"Not only is there strong pressure on the attack, the Team Tar Heels also put a lot of pressure on the defense and thus forced Team Richmond Spiders to miss more plays and rebounds were controlled by Team Tar Heels with Jamison and Jake."

"Jake also got 2 steals in those 10 minutes and the Tar Heels team missed a lot less in those early minutes giving them that advantage."

By the end of the first quarter, Team Tar Heels still managed to increase their lead even further on the scoreboard, even if Team Richmond Spiders didn't get too nervous, they still missed more than Team Tar Heels who were quiet with the lead.
