Chapter 239 Preparations for the Olympics 5

Coach Jim was a lot less worried this time than Jake’s first game on vacation, after which the team was just going back to training and everyone wasn’t excited to be playing on vacation.

In addition, the opposing team was weak and the players were not very motivated, Jake was also just a bet for Coach Jim at the time and even he didn’t know if Jake could do as well in the game as he was in training.

Fortunately just as Coach Jim thought Jake was a talented born athlete, he could probably play well in any sport with proper training as he had the fitness to do so, so Jake led the team to an easy win.

This time the opposing team was much stronger Miami was a very big city and American football in the city was very important, so all teams had very skilled players.

But with that Coach Jim was more comfortable because his players were well trained and motivated for this game and Coach knew Jake was skilled enough, and even if they lost it would not be a shame as it would be in the friendly holiday game.

After the two teams were already set up and ready the game started the crowd that had come to see a game like this was much bigger than the crowd that would see a basketball team game, this showed how football was more important to Americans.

This time it was Jake’s football team that would start attacking, so Jake was to start the first play, even though it was only his second game Jake was much more relaxed and confident this time around.

Just as before the team’s first attempt was a race, Jake passed the ball to his team’s RB on his right, RB ran into a space that his teammates opened for him and slide managed to advance 3 yards.

Quickly the team rearranged for the second attempt, Jake again tried the race with the RB, this time he tried out from the left, after advancing 5 yards he was knocked down.

The third play was a race again, the RB managed to advance 3 more yards and secured the first down for the Elite team.

Jake was impressed by the change in the attitude of his teammates to today’s game, he had heard in training that in addition to the team with the best defense in 4 years in a row the Elite team had not a strong attack.

But the best players in the Elite team attack were the RBs, Jake didn’t believe him when he heard that, after all, he didn’t think the RBs were very good on this team and even on television he thought very badly of the players in the RB position.

Jake thought that in addition to some very talented RB who could make unexpected plays and had the skill and the times the opposing defense failed, the RB was only used to gain a few yards.

Of course, it was because Jake didn’t follow football very well to understand the game well enough, especially in high school that QBs weren’t always the team highlights and some lacked the strength and precision to make good passes during games.

So the RBs were very important for the team’s attacking moves, as Jake had no problem making the longer passes he preferred to rely on the team’s WRs that also had quality.

After a few more plays the WR failed to hold the ball and the Elite team missed the first attack of the game, Jake was making the passes correctly, but the opposing defenders also had the skill and disrupted the WR who could not receive the pass.

After his second game, Jake finally realized that being a QB wasn’t as easy as he thought, the player in addition to strength and precision had to have a lot of intelligence and ability to understand the possible development of the move quickly.

Having some agility was also important, above all QB was too dependent on his teammates to show his talents, even though for Jake as PG it was similar, he could still with his ability score several points and show his skills.

But if all the teammates of a great quarterback were bad, no one could figure out his talents, in that team, Jake now saw that while the WRs were talented, they weren’t as good as he thought during the friendly holiday game.

The best players were the ones who protected him long enough for him to think about the moves he had to make, fortunately for today’s game Jake could also count on the RBs who were performing well.

Coach Jim naturally knew this better than Jake, the football team’s problem was just that, although the WRs were talented the team quarterbacks were very weak so the team could not properly train the WRs to receive passes with a defense difficult.

So the offensive team left and the defensive team entered, everyone was resting and talking about something while the opposing team attacked only Jake and a few more players accompanied the opposing team’s attacking move.

Jake was following and realized that this team they were facing this time was much better than the team they faced in the friendly, even with the good defense of the Elite team the opposing team advanced 70 yards.

But the Elite team managed to prevent the attack of the opposing team that advanced 6 more yards with only 3 chances, so in the fourth attempt they tried a field goal and ended up missing.

The game was very similar and Jake was not trying to invent much as the quarterback in the attacks and just tried the moves that the assistant coach recommended, the opponents could not get past Jake’s protectors once to try Sack.

So Jake really believed that the previous QBs were just unlucky to get injured, yet the Elite team couldn’t advance more than 60 yards and couldn’t even try the Field goal.

In the third period of play only that the opposing team got a touchdown and made the first 6 points of the game, it was a quick pass from the opposing quarterback when there was a defensive failure this time leaving a WR left free to receive the pass and run 25 yards and touchdown.

The crowd was delighted to finally see the score go from scratch, but Jake was not happy to lose this game, he probably cared more than the coach for the win, yet he could not play alone and the opposing defense was destroying the goal Elite team attack.

At the end of the third period the opposing team got 3 more points increasing the lead to 9 points, some of Jake’s teammates seemed to have given up the game but Jake was still trying to find a way out.

If he thought it possible he would run the ball himself to attempt the touchdown, but Jake never saw enough room for him to attempt a race, he could win a maximum of 1 or 3 yards but could do no more.

So Jake didn’t even risk and tried to find an opportunity to catch the opponent by surprise, at the beginning of the fourth period Jake had an opportunity but did not try the race and made the pass to just down and continue the attack.

Jake felt he could not get the touchdown in this race and he could be being tested in this play, in the next few moves Jake always saw the opportunity to run and even did one without much enthusiasm to win 2 yards.

After all, even a bad quarterback would try a few runs if the opponent always had that opportunity, reaching 60 yards in one attack. Jake started to cheer up, he asked to be placed 3 WR again and yet ran with RB in the first two attempts advancing 7 yards.

On the third try, Jake was in the Shotgun position and pretended to try a race with the RB, again Jake saw room to run but did not try it because this time the WR on the pass route recommended by the assistant cut right and was free.

Jake made a 15-yard pass and the WR received and still tried the race, after advancing a little further he was knocked down just 4 yards from Endzone.

Jake and the whole team moaned so little that was missing, Jake kept the 3 WR for the first try, Jake was in Shotgun position and tried the race on the right, two Safeties seemed to be expecting it and tried to intercept Jake 2 yards away to Endzone.

Before being knocked out Jake made a long side pass for the WR that had not advanced, it was a rehearsed move that Jake saw between plays and trained during the week, WR was alone and after receiving the pass advanced the final yards and made the touchdown quietly.

Jake trained this move because he thought he could fool his opponents and because he was confident of making a good side pass after playing so many years of basketball, even if it’s different, it just required his adaptation.

Soon after they still converted the extra point and were just 2 points behind on the scoreboard, after a few more moves the opposing team almost made a touchdown and the final pass was intercepted by the defender who still recovered a few yards into the attack before being knocked down.

This time Jake returned to the original lineup with just two WRs and advanced the first few yards with a few RB races, Jake was convinced they were really skilled at being able to win several yards at important times.

When they were running out of time the RB made a beautiful race with a Juke and a Hurdle and advanced 28 yards before being knocked down to gain precious time for the last attack at the end of the game.

Jake also managed with a 20-yard long pass to get the team under 30 yards for Endzone, so if they hit a touchdown or even a field goal they could win this game and win that title.

The opposing team took advantage of all the times they had and tried to delay the game as much as possible and end the final momentum of Jake’s team, Jake was calm on the last move because he had a lot of confidence in himself.

Unfortunately the same could not be said for Coach Jim, even if he thought Jake could be a great player he would not risk a great chance of winning by putting the game in the hands of a player who did not even play frequently for the team.
