"The Sacramento Kings team players seem to be doing better and all the players are helping in the attack and also trying to defend."
"On the Los Angeles team Lakers Shaq and Kobe are playing very well, Jake is also playing very well, and the three are putting a lot of pressure on the attack, Rick is not playing very well in this game and Robert is trying to help more in defense."
"Yes, the two teams are very balanced, so players like Jake, Shaq, and Kobe can make a difference and bring victory if they put more pressure on the defense, Coach Rambis looks like he won't replace Shaq and Kobe and so the Los Angeles team Lakers have the advantage in that game."
In the second quarter, the two teams continued to press on the attack, the Sacramento Kings team players were more excited about the chance to win seeing that they were performing well.

"It's true, the Sacramento Kings team is playing very well and is pushing forward, so we still had a well-balanced game in the first half of that game, but their defense is failing to stop the Los Angeles Lakers' attack."
"Jason Williams is playing very well in this game and with Jake defending well against him he helps the Los Angeles Lakers team to further increase their points advantage."
In the third quarter, the Sacramento Kings team kept trying to attack to get the win, Tariq Abdul-Wahad, Peja Stojaković, and Chris Webber is playing very well too and the Los Angeles Lakers' defense cannot stop them in the attack.
Peja Stojaković was managing to hit a few shots from three points and Rick was unable to defend very well, but with Jake pressing on defense and not letting Jason play so well it left the Los Angeles Lakers team with an even greater advantage.
Jake advanced with the ball and passed to Kobe on the right, Kobe received the ball and Tariq arrived pressing on defense, Kobe held the ball and passed to Rick on the left, Rick received the ball and Peja arrived pressing on defense.

So the game ended with the Los Angeles Lakers team winning the game with 114 points against 98 points for the Sacramento Kings team, Jake was happy that the Lakers team won this game that they had lost in his past life, which meant he was important for the Lakers team to win.
In that game Jake played for 48 minutes and made 35 points, 12 assists, 9 rebounds, and 9 steals, Jake got a double-double in that game and almost got the quadruple-double that would be his first in the NBA.
"The game is over, the Los Angeles Lakers team won another game this season, this was a balanced game in which the two teams have a strong attack, all the players on the Sacramento Kings team were playing very well in that game."
"In the Los Angeles Lakers team, Shaquille O'Neal had an excellent game with 33 points and 11 rebounds, Kobe Bryant was also playing very well and had 29 points and 10 rebounds, and Jake Smith who was the highlight of that game had 35 points and 12 assists."
"But what made the difference in this game was that the Los Angeles Lakers team's defense was better, Jake defended very well against Jason Williams, Shaq and Kobe also played well in defense in that game."
"Even though the attack by the two teams was very strong, the defense of the Los Angeles Lakers team was better, the winning streak of the Los Angeles Lakers continues and they already have a streak of 18 victories."
The Los Angeles Lakers team got another victory and so coach Kurt Rambis and the players were very happy with this victory, they knew that this difficult game was only the first in the sequence of games that they would have as visitors.
Jake was still concerned because he didn't know if the Los Angeles Lakers team would lose any of the next games, in his past life the Los Angeles Lakers team lost 3 games in that sequence of 6 games playing as a visitor.
The first defeat did not happen because Jake helped the Los Angeles Lakers team to win, but if Kobe or Shaq did not perform well in any game he did not know if he could still help the Lakers team to win.
After that game, the Los Angeles Lakers team traveled to Minneapolis, Minnesota which was where the next game would be, luckily the next day the Lakers team would have no games and the players could rest.
The players arrived in Minneapolis and went to the hotel that the Lakers team board had booked, Jake was in his hotel room thinking a little about what had happened in the last few years.
Many things he had dreamed of in his past life had happened, he became an NBA basketball player and was playing on the Los Angeles Lakers team which was always the team he was rooting for.
Jake also managed to do something that not even he dreamed it was to start running marathons, he always loved running, but it was just a hobby for him, and in this second chance of him Jake had even managed to win an Olympic gold medal.
