Chapter 397: Chapter 397 Rest and Business 1

Chapter 397 Rest and Business 1

So Jake soon returned to the game and his teammates and Staples he was defending against realized that Jake looked faster and better as he was at the beginning of the game, but the difference was not so great that they thought it was because he had rested for a while.

No one had realized that the only weakness that Jake had for this game was gone and in the 12 minutes before the game was over Jake would be playing with the best he had, the Tar Heels team players were more tired now.

But the players on the Virginia Cavaliers team were also more tired from playing at such a fast pace throughout the game, so in the final part of the game, only Jake was getting the maximum performance out of him.

In another play Staples tried to make a three-point shot and Jake hindered him and so he missed, Jamison managed to catch the rebound and held for a while before passing the ball to Jake, Jake advanced slowly and after passing through the middle of the court he started to ball to Carter from the left.

Carter received the ball and advanced slowly, he was also tired after trying so hard in the last game and in that game too, the last three games were tiring for the Tar Heels team and he and Jamison who were important to the team were very tired after that.

Carter advanced the ball to the three-point line and passed the ball to Okulaja who was on the right, Okulaja tried to advance, but the Virginia Cavaliers team's defense soon started to press him, who passed it to Jamison on the left.

Jamison received the ball with two players in defense against him, so Jamison passed the ball to Jake who was further behind, Jake was quick and took advantage of being free to make the shot from outside to make three more points for the Tar Heels team.

In the final part of the game, Jake made a lot of defense and also helped the Tar Heels team to increase the advantage on the scoreboard, so the game ended and the Tar Heels team won with 81 points against the Virginia Cavaliers' 49 points.

In that 2nd half Jake played for 18 minutes and managed to score 17 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, 5 steals, and 3 blocks, it was another double-double and excellent performance for Jake in that game and after that, the crowd would be happy with him again.

"And so the game ends with another victory for the Tar Heels team, it was a good game that ended with the Tar Heels team winning quietly, but that game was more difficult for them because the players were tired."

"Jake came back very well for the team after being criticized for not having played in the last game even though he had no problems, he was instrumental in the Tar Heels team having achieved this comfortable victory."

"The team still missed Shammond Williams who cannot play in this game and the team's defense was weaker than expected, in the next game all the players on the Tar Heels team must be in the best physical condition and these problems will not exist."

"That's right, now there are only 4 games left to finish the conference games, then the ACC tournament will start, and the next 4 opponents are very difficult to face and the Tar Heels team will have a hard time."

The game luckily ended well with the victory of the Tar Heels team, after which the team would have a sequence of 3 games playing at home at the Dean Smith Center, in addition, after the next game the players will have a week of rest before the final 3 games of the conference.

Jake was very tired after the game and would have to take the next few days to fully recover before the next game, he had already decided that he would never run a marathon in Asia again without having many days to rest in the city before and after the marathon.

Shammond Williams would also surely be rested in the next game and they would have the full team, contrary to what everyone expected the sports media did not comment much on the Tar Heels team game and Jake's good performance.

It would be very strange if they spoke well of Jake again after speaking so badly of him during the last few days, the sports media was not like the entertainment media that can make up lies and change a person's opinion several times just to gain more audience.

The next day the players did not have training so that they could recover completely before the next game, Jake was also resting and had been running and training for the marathon for almost a week.

He wanted to recover completely before training and Coach Davis knew that yet Zack was still training every day and after so long training he looked more and more like an elite marathon runner.

Running a full marathon was easy for him to do and Zack's next goal would be to run a marathon in less than 3 hours, now Zack had the support of Jake, his friends, and even his family who were seeing how Zack had improved after more than a year of training.

Even Coach Davis was impressed with the perseverance and improvement that Zack was experiencing, and anyone could run a marathon as long as he was dedicated enough and had a little talent for long-distance sports.

Of course, Zack would never be as good as Jake or even as elite athletes, but he could be proud to call himself an elite athlete if he continued training and hopefully he might even win a marathon someday.

Jake was happy with that too and wanted to run that year's marathon with Zack and see his friend manage to finish a marathon in less than three hours after all this could be their last year together at university.

Jake also sometimes played football with Aaron, the football team had already started training again, but Aaron still liked to train with Jake because Jake was an excellent quarterback because his accuracy was very good in passing.

Of course, that did not mean that Jake was better than the university quarterbacks because they knew a lot of techniques and had much more experience than Jake in football, but for only passes Aaron thought Jake was better.

In the last few months, Jake was talking more with Williams and Haruto, Jake had not yet told anyone that he intended to enter the NBA this season and thus leave the university.

He knew that Eva would accept whatever he decided to do, and the university friends who would be most impressed with Jake's decision, but they also knew that Jake could leave the university after any season because the sports media talked a lot about who Jake was one of the most anticipated players in recent years for the draft.

All the teams would like to have someone like him on the team who could lead the team with assists and points and still help a lot in defense, so it was just up to Jake to decide when he would go to the NBA.

Jake was also saddened by this and hoped that this time he would be able to maintain that friendship after he left university, he didn't have much contact with his friends from the basketball team in middle school and rarely saw his friends from high school.

Jake understood that it was because they lived in different places and using the phone and the internet to keep in touch with friends was not that common, but he wanted to keep in touch with the friends he made at the university if possible.

With Haruto it would be easier because they talked about business several times and Jake already suggested that Haruto work for him when Haruto graduated, Haruto said he would have to see what job he had to do and if it was good he would accept it.

Jake thought Haruto was very intelligent and it was the truth because Haruto had already scored perfect grades in difficult tests several times, Jake thought that Haruto was the most academically intelligent person he knew besides himself.

In that semester Jake had introduced Haruto to his other friends in the dorm and Haruto became very friendly with Williams too, so Jake was trying to convince Haruto's help that Williams would also work with him in the future.

But it seemed that Williams was determined to work in the stock market after college, Jake couldn't say he didn't understand why this was a time when many people were lucky enough to become millionaires if they invested in the right companies and knew when to sell their actions.

Jake himself was investing almost everything he earned in stocks, but it was because he knew exactly when he would win and when he would have to sell his shares in order not to lose money, but no one but him could possibly know that.

When Williams was leaving the university it would be when the internet bubble would burst and no one would want to buy stocks and many would lose millions of dollars, At that time Williams might change his mind and decide to work with Jake.

Even more when it was revealed that Jake was one of the wealthiest and most successful young investors in the stock market out of poverty into a one billion dollars estate in just 10 years, when that happened, no one could say that Jake didn't know about the business.

Jake hoped to be able to work with his two friends from the university because they would be trusted people that he knew of their ability, of course, he would never replace Emily who was always with him, she would still have as much authority as he did in the companies that Jake had.

When Jake said he needed to rest his roommates were the most impressed, in their nearly two years at university there were few times that Jake really took a rest.

They went out together several times to do something fun or to eat, but even on those days Jake always had morning marathon training or basketball training, even when he didn't do anything he went out to do business meetings or at least went to the academy.
