<h4>Chapter 414 1998 ACC Tournament 2</h4>


    This was actually the strategy that the Tar Heels team used in most games this season, but as they had won all games this season it showed how good that strategy was.


    Even so,


    it looked like the Marnd Terrapins yers expected the Tar Heels team to do that and they pushed on defense too, so if the Tar Heels yers were ying well in that game Jake would have it easier.


    Jake advanced to the three-point line and passed the ball to Williams from the right, Williams received the ball and the Marnd Terrapins team’s defense soon pressed, so Williams passed the ball to Jake who was in the middle.


    Jake was quick and as soon as he got the ball and made a quick pass to Okja who received the ball with freedom inside, so Okja just advanced and made theyup and made the first 2 points for the Tar Heels team.


    The defense of the opposing teams used to ignore Okja in attack during the games because Okja was one of the yers who scored fewer points in the Tar Heels team, so they defended more against Jamison and Carter within the three-point line.


    But Jake thought of moving to Okja because in thest game Okja had a good offensive performance and so Jake felt that he could count on him in the attack and furtherplicate things for the defense of the Marnd Terrapins team.


    After a few minutes of y, Jake could see that the Tar Heels team yers were performing well in that game and he was more relieved, so he was more confident of victory even if the opponent performed well.


    And this was also happening, the yers of the Marnd Terrapins team were ying very well both in attack and defense, it seems that they had made a special strategy to y against the Tar Heels team because the ball did not pass very often near Jake.


    As the opponent had no yer who was ying so well Jake was on the three-point line without defending against just one yer and only defending against who could attempt the shot from outside.


    But with the Marnd Terrapins team ying like that Jake knew he wouldn’t make as many steals as he did in thest few games and so the Marnd Terrapins team would be able to score more points, of course with the yers ying far from where Jake was, their attack options were limited.


    In another move, the Marnd Terrapins team made a good attack and the yers were far from where Jake was, only one yer was in the middle for Jake to defend against him, of course, Williams still defended outside the three-point line and inside the line of three points, the defense of the Tar Heels team was even stronger.


    Laron Profit received the ball from the left and advanced after getting rid of Okja’s defense, he tried a mid-range shot and scored 2 more points for the Marnd Terrapins team, the Marnd Terrapins team yers had the quality to make ys like these and manage to make the stitches.


    After that move, the Tar Heels team attacked again, Jake advanced until after the middle of the court and passed the ball to Carter from the left, Carter seemed quite excited to have a good performance in that game.


    Carter was very upset by the poor performance he had in thest game and knew that maybe he had been left in reserve for longer because Coach Guthridge could be starting to lose confidence in him.


    Jake could feel that Carter was thinking like that and he also saw that Carter seemed to be performing well in that game, so he decided that he would make more ys with Carter to make more assists and help his friend gain confidence for the next games.


    Carter advanced to the three-point line and passed the ball to Williams who was on the right, unlike Carter, Williams was very confident at this end of the season, in almost every game he had a good performance and knew he was an important yer in team now.


    Williams passed the ball to Jamison on the left ahead, Jamison tried to make the move getting rid of the defense and failed, so Jamison passed the ball further back to Jake in the middle.


    Jake moved forward and made a quick move getting rid of the yer who was defending against him, Jake advanced and the Marnd Terrapins team’s defense was to try to defend against him, when two yers went to defend against him Jake passed the ball to Carter from the left.


    Carter received the ball and advanced quickly to make the dunk and get 2 more points for the Tar Heels team, in this game the defense of the Marnd Terrapins team, even though he was strong, had difficulty defending against the Tar Heels team because all the yers were having a good time performance.


    Jake was a great PG because everyone knew that he could easily score more than 30 points in a game himself, so whenever he got the ball outside the three-point line or within the three-point line the defense of the opposing team had to defend against him.


    Most of the time they had to have more than one yer defending against him, Ed Cota was as good as Jake in assists, but Cota wasn’t good at scoring a lot of points in games, so he didn’t attract many yers to defend against him and he had more difficult to get assistance.


    The two teams continued to y very well, but with Jake organizing great attacks, the Tar Heels team ended the 1st half by winning with a good advantage on the scoreboard, if the game continued like this the Tar Heels team would go to the final of the ACC tournament again.


    In this 1st half, Jake yed for 20 minutes and made 15 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds, and 1 steal, Jake took advantage of the good performance of his teammates to make many assists and because of the Marnd Terrapins team avoiding attacking near him, he didn’t do many steals.


    "Thus ends the 1st half of the game, so far this has been a very exciting game with both teams ying very well and having a game yed, the Tar Heels team was winning with a good advantage because with Jake organizing the ys the team Tar Heels does not miss many attacks."


    "The Marnd Terrapins team seems to have done something to try to avoid Jake’s steals and blocks, they did it well in the 1st half, but because of that the yers got more tired and they lost some attacks because the defense of the Tar Heels team has others yers besides Jake."


    "If the game continues as it is, the Tar Heels team has a good chance of winning that game and they are really the favorites to get the win, with Jake ying well it will be difficult for the Marnd Terrapins team to get a reaction."


    "But the Marnd Terrapins team has also yed a good game and they have a lot of chances of winning the game and ending the winning streak for the Tar Heels team."


    The yers of the Tar Heels team were more confident after finishing winning the 1st half well, so they continued to attack since the beginning of the 2nd half, but the Marnd Terrapins team that had to attack started to press on the attack to try to win.


    So the two teams started to attack without thinking about defending so well, in other games this could be dangerous for the Tar Heels team, but with the yers of the Tar Heels team having a good performance, this made the advantage on the scoreboard not diminish.


    In another attacking move by the Tar Heels team Jake advanced until after the middle of the court and passed the ball to Carter on the left, Carter advanced with the ball and passed to Jamison on the left.


    Jamison did not try to advance and held the ball until he passed back to Jake, Jake received the ball and soon saw that he had some space, so Jake stepped back and tried the shot from outside to make 3 more points for Team Tar Heels.


    He was far from the three-point line when he stepped back and so he tried to shoot from very far from the three-point line and that took his opponent by surprise, so it was difficult to defend against Jake in the games.


    When the opponent was very close to him, Jake made a move using speed and advanced to make theyup or dunk, and when the opponent was a little far away he found a way to get the three-point shot.


    Even so, the Marnd Terrapins team was really good in that game and even until half of the 2nd half the advantage on the scoreboard did not increase or decrease even the Tar Heels team making many points.


    In another y the Marnd Terrapins team managed to make a 2 point y and the Tar Heels team would attack to react, Jake received the ball and advanced and before passing through the middle of the court he passed the ball to Williams on the right.


    Williams advanced with the ball and before the three-point line he passed the ball to Okja ahead, Okja soon received pressure from the Marnd Terrapins team’s defense because he was ying so well.


    So Okja had to pass the ball back to Williams again, this time Williams tried a pass to Jamison further down the left, but Profit from Marnd Terrapins managed to make the steals by intercepting the pass.


    Soon Laron Profit and Rodney Elliott used all their speed to try to take advantage of this opportunity to diminish the advantage that the Tar Heels team had on the scoreboard, the two ran very quickly and left all the yers of the Tar Heels team behind, only Jake who was further back he was approaching them.


    Jake was very fast, but there were two yers from the Marnd Terrapins team who were on the attack to make this move, entering within the three-point line of the Tar Heels Profit defense passed the ball to Elliott to score the points.


    Elliot saw that Jake was very close to him and so he tried to make ayup to make sure he would make the 2 points, but Jake was waiting for that moment and was quick to jump and block on the basketball backboard just as he saw LeBron James do in several games.
