Chapter 409 Training for the Movie 3

Coach Guthridge and the Tar Heels team players had the same concern for the next game, but they could do nothing but train hard to get the win, everyone knew they could trust Jake and if everyone worked hard they knew they could win.

The Duke Blue Devils team really was the toughest opponent that Jake thought he had in both seasons, it was very difficult games and Jake always had to work hard to get the victory for the Tar Heels team.

After returning to university Jake celebrated with his roommates that they were very happy about it, they cheered for the Tar Heels team and were basketball fans, studying at North Carolina University and still being in the same dorm as Jake who was the best player on the Tar Heels team that would go down in history was exciting.

Certainly, this would be known as one of the best teams of all time just for this sequence of victories and for having won the ACC tournament and the NCAA tournament last season and having Jake on the team.

They will be able to tell their children in the future about what had happened, Jake also talked to his mother who watched all the games that were on television, Eva had even put up television to watch the games in the restaurant.

After this tiring game against the Wake Forest team, Coach Guthridge gave players a day to rest and then it would be two days of intense training before the next game to see if the players would perform better in the next game.

Jake was not tired and would use that day to train more with Yuen Woo-ping, Jake continued to learn the movements he would have to use when he was on the cables to do the fights in the film.

Arriving in Australia where they would shoot the film Jake and Yuen Woo-ping would join everyone to make the scenes in the fight cables that would be edited for the incredible scenes in the film look as if the characters were flying while fighting.

As Yuen Woo-ping knew that Jake learned new moves very quickly he decided to teach Jake several things so he could speed up Jake’s preparation in a few days, just as he hoped Jake really learned everything he taught quickly and Jake can repeat almost perfectly.

Jake knew that this was possible because of his intelligence statistics of 63 and also because of his agility, even the technique that gave him a photographic memory helped a lot in learning new things.

Jake was patient and just learned everything and repeated what Yuen Woo-ping did and didn’t ask to try to use it as fighting moves, but after classes ended because Yuen Woo-ping was tired Jake asked Yuen Woo-ping if it was possible that he learn some techniques and movements of kung fu or any martial arts.

So Yuen Woo-ping taught Jake something he didn’t know, the movements he was learning could be used for self-defense if they were used well because they had elements of martial arts.

But it was impossible for Jake to try to casually learn any type of martial arts because it took a long time to train his body to use fighting techniques, it was important to train his hands, arms, and legs to be able to start fighting without having the risk of getting hurt even without being hit.

So basically Jake would have to spend a few months training his body before he could start to learn some movements and fighting techniques, the martial arts that use safety equipment or are professional competitions that can be taught without long body training.

Yuen Woo-ping even gave examples like in kung fu that masters could defend themselves from strong kicks and blows using only their hands, kung fu masters had to train their hands for years to do this, otherwise, they would break hands when defending themselves of a kick, in addition to the techniques necessary to do this.

Judo was a martial art that could be used without body training just to learn a few moves, but to become a master you would have to train your body the same way, and time to do that was something Jake didn’t have.

Jake thought that because his body was stronger than ordinary people because of his statistics and because of the system he was embarrassed to underestimate the martial arts, of course, if Jake trained like the others did he would get better results more easily.

After two days Jake started doing some training with Yuen Woo-ping, Yuen Woo-ping said that this way Jake could learn more easily how to do the movements he had learned and that he would have to do hanging on the cables afterward.

During the training sessions between the two Jake missed several moves he had learned and if it was a real fight he would be attacked several times by Yuen Woo-ping, but just as Yuen Woo-ping said, Jake felt he was learning better the moves he had seen in the past few days training with Yuen Woo-ping.

What Jake didn’t know was that Yuen Woo-ping was really impressed after training with him, just doing a light Sparring that Yuen Woo-ping can see the strength and agility that Jake had.

Yuen Woo-ping saw that Jake was not only quick to make the moves but also had very fast reflexes and his reaction speed was very fast, so Jake was not hit by several strokes that he should have hit.

And Jake just deflected what was more difficult than defending using techniques, as Yuen Woo-ping had said Jake could already defend himself from someone who didn’t know how to use martial arts only with what he learned in the last few days and using his reflex.

Of course, next month Jake still had a lot to learn and Yuen Woo-ping was excited to see what Jake’s character in the movie The Matrix would look like, after all, Jake should be one of the ones who fought the most after the main character, and by the training, it would seem that Jake fought better than the main character.

After training with Yuen Woo-ping and also two days with the basketball team, the day of the last game of the season came before the ACC tournament started, this was the last game that the Tar Heels team could lose without being eliminated from a tournament.

After that, the Tar Heels team would have the ACC tournament and the NCAA tournament and could not even lose any more games, that would be good because the other teams would have the same pressure as the Tar Heels team to not be able to lose any games.

The players of the Tar Heels team were no longer so confident even though they had trained a lot since the last game, in the last two games the players were rested and focused on the game and yet some players did not perform well.

Williams and Okulaja were not so concerned about that because Williams had played well in the last games and Okulaja was doing well in defense which was his biggest responsibility on the team, Jamison still had good performances in those last games.

Carter was the one who was most concerned about this even with Coach Guthridge and Jake saying that he still helped the team a lot by making more than 10 points per game, yet everyone besides Jake was concerned.

In this game they would have to worry about the defense also because the Duke Blue Devils team knows how to take advantage of the plays outside the three-point line, even though in the last game between them Jake and Williams had defended well, it was still a risk that they had to worry about.

With that game as a visitor still and against the Duke Blue Devils team that was second in the ACC conference with just one defeat it would be a difficult game to win and Jake was concerned about that.

"Welcome to another game here this season at the ACC conference, this is the second game between these great rivals, the Tar Heels team and the team Duke Blue Devils."

"In the first game the two were almost tied for first place at the ACC conference and the Tar Heels team had this winning streak, everyone expected a difficult game to happen and the Duke Blue Devils team could win and stay in first."

"But what happened was that Jake and Jamison had an excellent game and it was an easy win with a big advantage for the Tar Heels team at the Dean Smith Center, so this game here Cameron Indoor Stadium could be the rematch for the Duke Blue Devils team."

"Another important detail is that the Duke Blue Devils team has not beaten the Tar Heels team since 1993 when they won that year’s NCAA title, 5 years ago from that game and there were 10 straight victories for the Tar Heels team."

"But the Tar Heels team also doesn’t want to lose in this game, Jake and Jamison have been playing well all season and will try to guarantee the victory for the Tar Heels team in that game and further increase their winning streak."

Just as Coach Guthridge asked the team they started pressing on the attack, even though their defense was praised, Tar Heels’ strength was the attack, Jake could score more than 30 points in almost every game and the team still had Jamison, Carter, and Williams who were also incredible attacking players.

So with Jake commanding the team at the beginning of the game they were willing to attack, in a play Jake passed the ball to Carter from the left after passing through the middle of the court, Carter was eager to make a good game that day and advanced with the ball.

Carter advanced to the three-point line and passed the ball to Jamison from the left, Jamison did not hold the ball back to Jake further back, Jake received the ball and then attempted a shot from outside of the three-point line and making 3 more points for the Tar Heels team.
