Chapter 345 Busy Holiday 9

Chapter 345 Busy Holiday 9

Jake even considered buying another car to use when he was in Miami, but then decided to wait until he had more money, because he wanted to buy an even better car later, maybe when he got into the NBA he could buy an ideal car without moving in his investments.

But it was better to go to the court in David's car which was more common, Jake didn't want to be recognized if possible, he wore sunglasses and a bandana to hide his hair, David and Mark laughed at Jake, but had to admit that He disguised himself very well.

Jake was very famous after becoming a winning college basketball player and well-known marathon athlete, but in Miami, he was much better known than anywhere in America, it was much easier for someone to recognize Jake in Miami than in his own. his university.

It wasn't everyone who knew him, but if he just walked a street for a few minutes someone would surely always recognize him, on a basketball court that was almost certain to happen.

Amazingly on the court was the place he didn't stand out so much because of his height, many basketball players were tall and Jake could disguise himself better than in a mall.

David soon went looking for people who wanted to play with them, soon three men showed up to play against Jake's team, two of the men were tall and only one was smaller, but Jake and Mark were bigger than their opponents.

Even though the opponents were not intimidated and soon spoke to start the game, Jake had brought one of his balls from his house to make sure they had no trouble playing, Jake agreed with Mark and David that he would pass the ball more than he would point to disguise.

David said that was not right and it was better than Jake at least did some layups to disguise and Mark agreed, so Jake had to accept that, David would not play with the best Tar Heels scorer and allow Jake not to make any points, It was a waste.

In a short time the game started and the opposing team started with the ball, the lower one was called Rick, he looked like a PG, the others were Joe who looked like a Center and Paul who looked like a PF.

Just for this game Jake would mark Paul who was taller and David would mark Rick who was the smallest, Mark would mark Joe who was of the same height and position as him, Rick tried to feint at David, but David would not allow and defend well every time.

David could play on a more offensive team, but he had to train hard on defense and of course he would improve this year at university playing, seeing that he could not pass by David, Rick passed the ball to Joe, Joe got a spin with speed and Mark followed Joe's movement.

Joe pulled back and attempted a hook shot to make the first 2 points for their team, Mark did not expect it and was a little embarrassed to have allowed his opponent to score.

David didn't care about that and then passed the ball to Jake to restart the game, Jake moved slowly to pitch and went to David again, David held the ball and made a quick feint to pass Rick and advance to make the 2 points with a layup.

Rick took the ball to make another play for his team and Mark seemed determined to defend this time, Jake was calm and Rick realized this and passed the ball to Paul, Rick thought that Jake was calm because he didn't care about the game and wanted to enjoy it.

Paul tried to get past Jake a few times and realized that even though Jake was taller than he was also faster, so he tried a feint and Jake naturally didn't fall, so Paul tried to get past Jake protecting the ball.

Jake let Paul pass and Paul tried the layup to make the two points, Jake reacted quickly and made a block on Paul taking his chance to make the points, Jake advanced slowly and passed to David again.

David tried to make a feint and failed and so passed the ball back to Jake, Jake made a quick pass to Mark who received the free ball and made a Dunk to make 2 points, Mark looked excited and David also to play with Jake again.

So the game went on and Joe scored a few more points using the hook shot and Rick also managed to score a few points by getting rid of David's defense, only Paul couldn't score any points over Jake who made two blocks and one steal.

So the opposing team gave up making moves with Paul to leave Jake alone, David and Mark realized that incredibly Jake had done much better in defense and was not even trying hard to defend against Paul.

They were glad they decided not to play against Jake at his house, they would lose even if Jake didn't play seriously against them, David was just having fun and Mark was annoying that Joe had made several hook shots on him and he couldn't defend.

Jake realized that Mark wanted to defend on his own to show what he was capable of, so he didn't help Mark in defense, and Jake thought this Joe was very skilled even though he was just an amateur player.

Jake played slowly and did not attempt any three-point shots, who saw that he really was a PF in this game, without doing what he normally did in games no one would think that Jake was that Tar Heels PG.

As he was just having fun Jake made his signature moves he had created, the Ghost moves and the Elastic pass, even though his signature moves Jake didn't use much in college games and so no one would recognize him.

The Elastic pass was mostly used by Jake because sometimes a pass was needed that the opponent expected, but the Ghost dribbling was unnecessary against the university opponents, currently only with his agility and crossover Jake could easily pass the opponents.

Jake didn't want to use the moves he created so much that his opponents didn't find a way to stop those moves, it was better to save them when needed or for the NBA, but for a game like that he liked to use.

After a while, the game was 18 for Jake's team and 12 for the opposing team, who scored the most points on the other side was Joe with 8 points were all making a hook shot that Mark didn't know how to defend against.

Jake saw that Mark was annoyed by it and decided to do something against it, he advanced the ball and passed it to David, David understood that Jake wanted to do something and passed it to Jake when he went inside.

Jake stood with his back to the basket and used his strength to advance, Paul could do nothing to stop Jake who was much stronger, when he got close to the basket Jake pulled away and made a Skyhook Shot make 2 points.

This Skyhook Shot which was the move that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar created when done well was impossible to defend against this move, Jake naturally had the necessary talent and was bigger than his opponent and can easily make the move.

Joe who saw this understood that Jake was telling him that this was how to make a good hook shot, he was a little embarrassed to be proud of the hooks he made before, they would lose the game anyway.

The others even wondered if Jake was any Center or PF from some professional or college team to play that well, but they couldn't remember anyone like that and after Rick scored 2 more points, Jake made another Skyhook Shot and ended up with the game-winning.

David and Mark had fun playing again with Jake and had to say that Jake was much better than a year ago, Mark was embarrassed because most points were made against him, but after a while, the three were laughing and they forgot of this.

They played again before the three broke up and Jake returned home alone, who knows when they would meet again, but Jake was glad to see his former teammates.

Being calmer Jake trained in the coming weeks with Coach Davis just as they had arranged before, one-day training for the 10,000 meters and the other training for the marathon.

Jake was already running quietly three times a day the 10,000 meters with the best time he could that was 28 minutes, but as it was better for him to get used to running at the 10,000 meters pace was better than for a few months he keeps running at that pace.

With a few days to go before World Championships in Athletics, Jake flew to Athens, Greece to join the US team to wait for the start of World Championships in Athletics and wait until the last day to compete.

This time Jake was no longer an unknown novice but one of the biggest names in athletics in the world and was very well received by the other athletes, he can talk to Maurice Greene and Michael Johnson who were great names in athletics without being uncomfortable.

Jake remembered that this was one of the worst years for the United States in this decade's World Athletics World Championship with only 6 gold medals won, he could perhaps win one more gold medal for this team.

He had the confidence to do that, but he had to wait for anything to happen so that he would not be disappointed after that, the American team seemed excited and hopeful to get many medals in this world.
