"True, the last game was the worst game of the Tar Heels team if you take into account team performance, but Jake, Jamison, and Carter played very well and so with a solid defense they were the winners of the last game."
"Now we'll see in the upcoming game who will be the 1997 NCAA tournament champion."
Jake was confident because the Tar Heels team beat the Arizona team that should have won this year's NCAA tournament, but even if the Arizona team won, it was only over time and Jake had already changed that reality by beating Arizona team.
So he hoped that his teammates were playing well in today's game, because only then could he do everything he could to ensure the victory of team Tar Heels in that game.
The game soon began and Jake began making several plays in the early minutes while testing his teammates to see if anyone was playing poorly in today's game, Jake advanced with the ball and after passing through the middle of the court went to Carter.
