<h4>Chapter 183 A Marathon to Enter History 4</h4>


    With Lucas and Nathan entering, the defense of the team would be better and Jake was calmer with it, Lucas could mostly stop or at least disrupt Jaxon who had already done 14 points so far.


    This was because Jake managed to get in the way of Jaxon and his opponent was also 5 assists, but Ryan, who should have been ruled out by Jake, had made 8 points because of that.


    Even so, Jake thought that was not enough of that and he was thinking of a way to further improve the defense to further increase the advantage against the Brickell team, so he called Mark to talk for a bit.


    "What was Jake?"


    "Look at Mark, our team on the defense is me and you and Carter, but Carter has to worry about Thomas from the opposing defense, I’m trying to help my team-mates and so Ryan can also score more points."


    "Now that Lucas and Nathan have entered the defense of our team will improve, but I need your help in something, I want you and me to help Lucas in the defense and so we can stop Jaxon from the opposing team."


    "As a key yer in defense, you need to learn from this game to defend against another yer while defending against another understood?"


    "I get it, you can count on me, I’ll do my best to stop the opponent in defense."


    "Very good, I count on you if I go out to defend you do not need if I do not leave stay with you."


    After Jake talked to Mark they rested again to be rested for the rest of the game.


    At the beginning of the third period Jake went with the ball to the attacking block and passed the ball to Nathan, Nathan received the ball and went towards the three-point line, so Nathan passed the ball to Carter who was open on the right.


    Carter got the ball and held it a little, so Carter passed the ball to Lucas who had gotten rid of Jaxon and was free on the left, Lucas received the ball and quickly tried the mid-range shot to make 2 more points for the Elite team.


    Ryan received the ball and started another attack for the Brickell team, Ryan advanced until the middle of the court and passed the ball to his SG team, SG received the ball and soon received pressure from Nathan’s defense and had to pass the ball for Jaxon.


    Jaxon hit the right and quickly advanced into the three-point line, but this time Lucas was the one who was defending him and Lucas did not allow Jaxon to open space for the shot, so Jaxon had to pass the ball to Thomas.


    Thomas made the turn on Carter and advanced to the inside area, so Thomas did theyup to make 2 more points for the Brickell team, Carter could not for the opponent’s attack in every move, but it was clear that with the entry of Nathan and Lucas the Brickell team was having a hard time attacking.


    Jake grabbed the ball and began to organize another attack for the Elite team, after passing through the middle Jake passed the ball to Lucas who was open from the left, Lucas passed the ball to Carter who wasing and ran into the internal area.


    Carter understood Lucas’s intention and passed the ball back to him, Lucas received the defensive ball in the inside area of ??the attack and had only to advance toyup and 2 more points for the Elite team.


    Ryan started another attack for the Brickell team, he advanced for a while and passed the ball to the SG of his team, the SG advanced to the attack and before reaching the three-point line passed the ball to Thomas.


    Thomas tried another attack, but Carter reacted quickly and apanied Thomas with a good defense, so Thomas was forced to pass the ball to Jaxon, Jaxon tried the feint and got a space and passed by Lucas.


    As soon as Jaxon was thinking of doing mid-range Mark’s shot, Jaxon was not expecting Mark toe and only paid attention to Jake, but he thought quickly and passed the ball to the center of his team that was free now.


    But Jake covered Mark and intercepted the ball and made another steal in the game as Mark appeared in the defense Jaxon forgot to watch Jake that left the defense of Ryan and was waiting for that pass.


    So Jake did not rush for the attack to just calmly advanced as he watched the opposing team, before reaching the middle of the court Jake passed the ball to Lucas who was on the left.


    Lucas received the ball and advanced shortly before passing to Nathan who was open on the right side, Nathan received the ball and held it a little while advancing to the three-point line, Nathan passed the ball to Mark who was in the inner area and Mark turned on top of the opponent center to do the dunk and 2 more points for the Elite team.


    At the end of the third period, the Elite team won by 21 points difference and had virtually guaranteed victory, Jake had 8 steals, 12 assists, and 31 points so far in the game, he was close to making another Triple Double.


    Mark was doing well what theybined and was trying to mess up as much as possible Jaxon, Lucas was also very good in defense and did not give Jaxon many chances, so other Brickell yers had to try the ys.


    So Jake who was always watching closely the moves was managing to make more steals in the game, in the attack all were attacking even taking Jake who made the points whenever he saw the opportunity.


    The team Brickell had not given up on the game yet because it was the final, but deep down they knew that there was no chance of winning this game, Ryan was mostly the most discouraged with the game, he was being canceled by Jake and could not do anything in the defense.


    This was normal since Jake already had a skill level of a university yer, only the best in defense of the high school could bother him, even though it was difficult to find someone who could even stop him.


    Ryan went to organize the first attack of the Brickell team in the fourth period of the regional championship final, after passing from the middle of the court he passed the ball to the SG of his team, the SG advanced a little more and passed to Thomas before the could arrive.


    Thomas made a feint and moved away from Carter to make a mid-range shot to make 2 more points for the Brickell team, Thomas was the only one who could do anything in thatst period of the game.


    Jake picked up the ball and advanced to the attack, after passing from the middle of the court he passed the ball to Nathan who was on the right, Nathan continued advancing and passed the ball to Carter who was open on the right.


    Carter got rid of Thomas and went to the bottom of the court, Carter tried the mid-range shot and the ball did not enter, Mark managed to take the rebound and passed the ball to Jake who was out of the three-point line.


    Jake threatened the shot and passed the ball to Nathan who was free on the right, Nathan who received the pass made a step back and tried a shot from outside to make 3 more points for the Elite team.


    Nathan and Lucas were improving so quickly since they got into high school, if it had not been for David and Harrison’sst year, Jake was sure that Coach Mike would make those two headlines in the national championship by then they should have improved a lot by then.


    The talent was a really unfair thing in the sports world, it was like Jake’s system that people had to be lucky to be born with him, after all, yers like Michael Jordan who only trained a little more than the others maybe and had so much difference in the result.


    Ryan got the ball to try another attack for the Brickell team, then before passing the middle of the court he passed the ball to the SG of his team that was open on the left, the SG advanced a little and passed the ball to Thomas by left.


    Thomas tried another shot, but Carter was doing a lot of pressure on the defense and Thomas returned the ball to Ryan who was behind, Ryan tried a feint over Jake, but Jake was firm in the defense, so Ryan passed the ball to Jaxon on right.


    Jaxon receives the ball and had to try a move before the time of possession of ball ended in thesest two periods he was very tired, Jaxon had to go through the good defense of Lucas which was already very difficult.


    Then he still had to pay attention to Jake and Mark’s position before making any move, and sometimes even paying attention Jake still managed to steal the ball.


    This time he managed to pass by Lucas on the right and saw that neither Jake nor Mark wereing to disrupt, so he advanced a bit more and was ready to try the mid-range shot.


    But when Jaxon was paying attention to Jake and Mark, Lucas recovered and followed up and got the steal to retrieve the ball, so Lucas passed the ball to Jake.


    Jake advanced calmly and passed the ball to Nathan after passing through the middle of the court, Nathan advanced to the three-point line and passed to Carter who was open from the right, Carter held the ball a little and passed back to Jake.


    Jake got the ball before the three-point line, Jake made a feint and passed by Ryan quickly and drive to the basket, Thomas tried to block Jake in the inside area and Jake made an unstoppable Spin Move and finished the y with a m dunk to make 2 more points for the Elite team.


    The crowd cheered again at the end of the game and the morale of the Brickell team fell further.
