Chapter 276 The Beginning of the Season at College Basketball 8
After the game, that day he celebrated with his teammates on the phone and then did not forget to call his mother to tell about the victory as always did Anna also I was glad Jake was winning.
The next day the team had another game if it were in another situation the coach Smith could even think of putting only a reserve team to play and save the holders, but as the team afterward would have a rest of a week until the next game he decided to Play with the team normally.
Even so, he would have to do more rotation among the players in today's game, for coach Smith This would be the hardest game they had since the debut game, the opposing team was South Carolina that this year had a very good team.
The next day the players were already ready for the beginning of the game, Jake would again be on the initial team as the holder and he was determined to do his best in today's game, different from the worries of coach Guthridge he remembered that the team Tar Heels would win again today's game.
Even though the result that Jake had seen in the past meant nothing to the game today, he was confident that with him on the team they could only have an even better result than in his past life.
In the first game Jake can play for 16 minutes before being replaced, he did 15 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, and 2 steals, Jake again led the team score in the first part of the game and always had more than 60% hit in the Field goals.
In the second part of the game, many players were tired so Jake can play for another 16 minutes in the game, in that second time Jake made 14 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals, after playing again so well he won the confidence of the coach.
The Tar Heels team won for 94 points against 73 points of the South Carolina Team, it was an easy win considering the situation in which the team was Antawn Jamison again made a great game and Vince Carter too.
It seemed that with Jake playing as PG the whole team was playing much better, with Jake the moves were more easily worked on the attack court and also the defense was stronger, so far all the PG of the opposing teams were annulled by Jake.
Jake also made more three-point shots which helped the team to do more points in fewer plays, in addition to making several passes, catching the rebounds and making several steals preventing many opponent's attacks.
All the team's productivity went up with Jake's entry into the team, with Ed Cota playing less time in the game the team would theoretically have fewer assists, but Jake also did what Ed Cota and Shammond Williams did.
So it was difficult for coach Smith to try to keep Jake in the reserve team, he had the best qualities of the two players and still had qualities that the two had not, now that Jake was on the team and doing well the coach was Satisfied.
Coach Guthridge was also very pleased with it because he was the one who brought Jake to the team, he failed to see Jake playing the best he could at the high school, but still trusted Jake.
After the game ended Jake celebrated with his friends, was the fifth win followed in 6 games and Jake had already become the team's holder what was the reason to celebrate, Jake also did not forget to call his mother to say that he had won the game.
In the next few days was rest for the players and Jake was no different, he was mentally tired by this sequence of games, of course, he could keep playing because he had no problems with his stamina, the game routine was Harder than he expected.
Jake wanted to take this one-week break to go home, but it wasn't possible because he still had to do the tests this week even if he had no trouble taking the best grades.
This week also all his roommates were concentrated in the studies, Zack would also stop running for a week to have more time studying, in the early days Jake also decided to rest his body and would not do any kind of training.
So while resting in the dorm Jake stopped to think about the last few months, after winning the gold medal in the Olympics he stayed home a little while and then had to go to college.
He still ran into two marathons that can win and break the world record in Chicago and finally win in New York, at that time also Jake had to spend a lot of time in his training both to run marathons as to play on the basketball team.
Fortunately, he had several friends in his dorm in this first semester of university and even Zack still ran with him, his training in the basketball team also gave results, he felt he improved a lot in skill and got a vacancy as the Tar Heels team holder.
So time passed quickly and it was more than 4 months since he was at the university, even though he thought he could go home more often this semester he couldn't go home once.
Even always talking to her mother on the phone and knowing that she was happy working at the restaurant and with several friends like Anna taking care of her, Jake still couldn't let her miss her mother.
He was seriously thinking of going home when the College Games had a stop in January, he wanted to spend his birthday at home, as he will not take classes in that time he will be free to go to Miami.
While I was thinking about life Jake decided to take a look at his stats that he hadn't seen since a few months ago, he knew he had improved because he can see the results in training and on the court.
"Fate, show me my first job stats."

Jake was surprised to see how his skills improved since the last time he had seen him, he thought he was better than when he left high school had improved a lot but didn't think the ranks of his skills would improve either.
Now all his skills were at least in rank B, even the defensive skills and the ones he wore less in the games improved, his shooting skills that were always easier to increase reached as much as possible at the College level.
For Jake it seemed that all his skills that were without much improvement for nearly a year at the high school suddenly improved when he joined the Tar Heels team, now he knew he had no way of improving his skills so much in the coming years in the College.
"Fate, what happened that my abilities have improved so much in these months?"
[That was what I had already explained to you a few years ago, your skills greatly improve with training and especially with real games, you have done all the training possible by training almost twice a day in the space of imagination training.]
[The other way to improve your skills in both rank and the overall level was naturally with your advancing age, so you managed to get to College level even while you were at high school and trained a lot at that time.]
[So when in addition to the training you also had the correct age and still disputed games your skill naturally improved, I thought you would have already noticed this when your skill level was similar to your teammates who will be stars in the NBA.]
When Jake stopped to think about it he found that the system was right, he was very focused on the information that the system had given that many players didn't even reach the top of the skill rank at the college level before graduating or going to a league of Professional basketball.
So he didn't think he could get to the top of his skills so early, but he was just thinking of the normal college-level players, the high-level teams like the Tar Heels where he was currently playing naturally would have players with level Higher skills.
So if he could play with players of the same level as his team he should also have high-level skills, Jake was more excited because that meant he had skill to play in the NBA even though at a basic level.
[I wanted to remind you that it will not be so easy to increase your other skills to the highest rank of the college, mainly because you are a complete player who seeks to improve all your skills.]
[These players usually strive more to improve on a defined game style and so they can improve faster, so even if you take more time to get to the same level, it will be even better for you.]
Jake naturally did not expect that he could overcome all players quickly, he was accustomed to improving his skills quickly, but now that he was approaching the professional level would be increasingly difficult, so he was surprised to improve his skills quickly this time.
After talking to the Jake system decided to rest, he wanted to relax well this week before the game sequence began again, but that Jake's desire could not be satisfied so easily.
The next day Jake who had no morning training woke up later and just made his proofs of the day, it was easy as expected for him, Jake still tried to teach his friends in a few hours, but it was impossible for everyone to learn the matter so easily.
After the evidence he received an unexpected call, only a few people had his current phone number, so he answered quickly.
"Hello, I'd like to talk to Jake Smith."
"It's me, who's talking?"
"I am from the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS), I would like to inform you that you have won this year's prize."
"What prize?"
"It is the AIMS World Athlete of the Year award, this award is given to the best athletes of long-distance competitions, with their various victories in many marathons and in the Olympics and Your world record we decided to give you the prize that year, congratulations."
