Chapter 171 The Last Year of High School 6

"So I'm going to sign you up for these two marathons, I hope you can really beat Jake, just so you do not mess up your basketball practice."

"You can rest easy, these training helps even more because they increase my resistance, now I can easily play a whole game without tiring too much."

Hearing that Tiffany had no more doubts, she knew that Jake should know what she was doing and would not be irresponsible, she wondered what it would be like if Jake could really win, she was sure Jake would be in the NBA in the future.

So would a professional player who was also a professional runner, Tiffany had not noticed, but she was also confident that Jake could win the marathon.

After that, the days passed quietly and classes finally started again, everyone was more focused on studies and even Jake stopped bringing his books to class.

He had already learned to speak Japanese and had studied many economics books in all those years, now even he was tired of studying so much, in a year he would go to university and no one could complain when he took these books to class.

After classes the first day he went to school, today would be the day the team would meet the two new players who came from Middle School, arriving there he saw that almost everyone had already arrived and after greeting his teammates he was waiting on the bleachers.

After a while coach, Mike came along with Liza and two other guys, these two were almost 1, 70 m, they were very tall for those who were 14, they should be the two players that coach Mike spoke of.

But Jake noticed that his teammates did not seem to know who these two players were, it seems that coach Mike seemed to be hiding this from the other players, after all, every year new players came from Middle School and did not have much opportunity to play.

"Well, everybody pays attention here, these two are the new team players who came from Middle School, this one is Lucas Garcia, he plays like SF now, but he learned to play also as a PF, he changed his position because it was too a few years ago."

"This other one is Nathan Roberts, he plays as SG and was our school's MVP at the Middle School National Championship last year, they will be playing on our team this year and they have gone into some games depending on our players' performance."

Jake was calm but David and Harrison were nervous about it, they were training a lot to help the team more and now substitutes came to play in their positions, Carter was much calmer because Lucas was too small to play in his place.

So they could finally train with everything for the regional championship that would be in a few weeks, Jake was also training in his imagination training, he plays in various positions and was improving his defense very much, after finishing the training one day the system came to give good news.

[Congratulations Jake, all your skills have reached the S rank, so you can raise your level now, the important thing is to choose whether the next level will be the university or the NBA.]

"It will be a university."

[Okay so, so you can look at your stats whenever you want, I think it was a good idea for you to choose the college level because it's lower than the NBA level, so you can get even better.]

"I want to see my statistics now, Fate."

---------------------------------

Jake saw his current skills and was surprised, after all, though he was much better off when he entered the high school from Middle School was still not much better, he never expected that his best skills would be classified as rank C and B.

If so, he would have to admit that it would be very difficult to play in college, after all its abilities took almost a year to improve one level, which means that these skills would be much harder to improve.

If he had moved to the NBA level it would be even worse for him, after all, it was obvious that the NBA was stronger than the university, seeing that Jake was thinking several things the system saw that it was better to explain correctly.

[You must have been impressed that your skill ranks have dropped so much, but that's why I have to explain you better when someone leaves high school and goes to the NBA that player there unless it's a genius it takes two years or more to play at a normal level.]

[So S skill rank is the maximum that an average player can average on the high school in cases of genius players is different because they get an SS rank like you which means that they have exceeded the maximum level of skill possible.]

[At university it's almost the same, but right there the geniuses cannot easily get the SS rank of skill, nor can you get that in various skills as you did now, that means most players have rank C or B skills at the University.]

[Normal players can have up to D skill as is their dunk rank, but very much end the university and go to the NBA with skill rank B or A, few reach S rank, and the NBA is even harder to reach to the S rank of a skill, only the biggest stars at the top can do that.]

[So you can understand that your skill rank has started to be compared to the pros now if you want to have an SS rank in a dunk in the NBA have to bury like Michael Jordan if you can get that you've already reached the level of a star.]

So Jake understood why his skills were so low, if he got to the NBA even his shots from outside could not be rank S as more other skills, now he could just make the shot out quietly but in the NBA would always have a tall player to disrupt the pitch and the hit rate would drop a lot.

Even though he was happy because he could see his improvements again seeing the ranks of skill increasing, when he was with the skills the S rank now he could boast of playing well in the NBA, in addition, Jake remembered that his skills would increase when he he was 19 years old.

So the time passed quickly and soon came the day of the first regional championship game, this time the coach made a bold decision and decided to put Lucas and Nathan as holders as the games would be easier.

Jake was certain that David and Harrison were not happy about it, but how these players needed to get experience in case they needed to get into national championship games was a necessary thing.

Coach Mike could not do that in the state championship if it was not possible that they could not even reach the national championship, so now was their only chance.

Jake woke up early for the game and saw his mother preparing breakfast, as usual, she had even taken a few hours off in the morning just to be with Jake a few hours before the game.

Even if he did not say it, Jake was very happy that Eva did it for him, he ate it all happily and then went to the playground.

When he arrived everyone had already arrived and seemed eager for the game, Jake saw that the opposing team seemed discouraged as if they had already given up trying to win this game, this was normal considering that the Elite team was 4 times the championship champion regional and state levels.

And as the team was the same as last year with the addition of some players there was no way they were worse than last year, all five Elite team players were already talking to college teams.

Everyone was guaranteed and reassured that they could join these teams, only Jake did not start talking to anyone because he was choosing the right universities to talk to, but he was the most assured of them all as he had already received the scholarship invitations from those universities.

It was just agreeing and getting into a university, yet everyone was thrilled to be champions once again of the national championship, it would be Carter's third trophy and either in high school and Jake's second.

But no one was counting the first year they could not play, Jake went to coach Mike who was going through the rush again, it was necessary because it was a new style of play with players that they were not so familiar with the team.

After a few minutes Jake's first game in high school began, even though it was a regional championship game he was a bit tense, Mark went up and won the ball possession for the Elite team.

Jake passed the ball to Lucas who was already on the attacking block, Lucas received the ball and with freedom ran after the three-point line, the defense came to stop his advance and Lucas passed the ball to Carter who was freer in the internal area.

Carter picked up the ball and then easily did the layup to score the first two Elite Team points in the game, the opposing team was lost in that play because when the Elite team made the points Jake who was the one who was putting the plays was coming in line three points still.

So the opponents realized that the Elite team could have changed their style of play, otherwise it would be a problem for the other teams because they would have corrected the only flaw that the opposing teams could exploit.
