Chapter 518 A Different Team 6

"Shaquille O'Neal played for only 34 minutes and performed well in that game, so the highlights of the Lakers team were Jake, Shaq, and Rick Fox again who performed well in that game."

"Dennis Rodman also managed to stand out in this game with 16 rebounds which helped the Lakers team to get such a big advantage in points, Dennis has been performing well in the last games showing that he can help the Lakers team to get more wins."

"The Phoenix Suns team started the game well, but then they could no longer handle the Los Angeles Lakers team's attack, the highlights being Jason Kidd who had 12 points and 11 assists, and Tom Gugliotta who had 20 points."

The game ended with the Los Angeles Lakers team achieving another victory, the players were very tired after the game and still had to travel back to Los Angeles where the next game would take place.

Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant were not happy to be replaced in the last games and to have less playing time, but they understood that this was to prevent them from having injuries, Kobe was even more upset with the poor performance he had in the last game.

They were even more upset seeing how Jake played each game better and always played the 48 minutes if Jake was just a PG they would understand that he could get tired less, but Jake scored a lot, a lot of assists, and still got rebounds and steals us games.

So Jake got tired even more than they did in the games and was able to play 48 minutes every game, for sure if they could play 48 minutes every game they could score more points in the games.

Fortunately, they would have a day of rest before having to play the next game, this reduced season with fewer games was tiring the players a lot more than the normal season they had in other years.

The players arrived in Los Angeles and were able to go to their home to rest until the next day, Jake was also happy that he would have a day to rest, but the next day when he woke up very early he got a call from David Falk.

"Hi, Jake, congratulations on the victories of your team and also for the excellent performance you had this season, making an average of 33 points and 11 assists per game is really incredible, and you were still chosen as the player of the month and rookie of the month."

"I confess I didn't expect you to be able to do that in your NBA debut season, especially when you said you wanted to play on the Los Angeles Lakers team, I thought that if you played on a team that wasn't that good you would be the team star and could score more points and perform better."

"Thanks for the compliments, Davis, I know that you are used to working with excellent players, after working with Michael Jordan you will not be surprised by any player."

"I have to thank you too for getting me to play on the Los Angeles Lakers team and getting the great sponsors I have."

"Hahaha, you deserved it, but let's stop compliments, I called you because I wanted to know if you are not tired or busy today?"

"No, I'm fine after sleeping well, what do you want?"

"With the success, you are having in your debut season in the NBA, Adidas called me saying that they wanted to anticipate the launch and sales of the products that you will represent for them."

"The project for both sneakers was already ready and they even started producing, they wanted to wait until the end of this season, but as you are playing so well they want to take advantage of your popularity to start selling the sneakers."

"I have to say that they created two beautiful sneakers for you, you will be proud of your first brand as an NBA player and as a runner too."

Jake did not expect the two sneakers to be ready anytime soon, of course, this was possible since he had already agreed on this contract for almost 1 year and had already signed the contract for more than 6 months.

Jake recalled that Adidas representative Mike Morris said he had a lot more fans in Europe and Asia than in the United States, Adidas was a very strong brand in Europe and they could sell a lot of sneakers there.

Jake naturally agreed to go to record the commercials for Adidas, after all, they had paid 52 million dollars for 5 years of contract and 1 year of the contract was almost lost because of NBA lockout.

After a few hours Jake arrived at the advertising studio where the commercials would be recorded, it was several times bigger than the commercials Jake had recorded in Miami, of course, Adidas would not save on advertising if it had paid a 52 million contract. dollars with Jake.

Jake arrived at the advertising studio and saw David and Mike talking to the director of the commercial that he was going to record and other people at the advertising company, as it was a commercial for Adidas Jake couldn't say how he thought the commercial could be better.

What Jake did as soon as he arrived at the filming location was where some Adidas sneakers were, he knew that some of those sneakers must be the brand that would be his, so Jake can see the two sneakers he would represent.

The two sneakers had similar colors but were clearly different, the running shoes looked more comfortable and were black in color with some blue and purple details, the blue and purple details were metallic and stood out a lot.

On the shoe, it said JKS Velocity 1 and it had the Adidas brand too, Jake had really liked the shoe and used it quickly and I find it comfortable, it was a shoe that he could use for his marathons, it looked like he had the best technology for tennis race that Adidas had developed.

The other shoe was also black and had some blue and purple details, but the details were different from running shoes and also had no metallic color, moreover, it was similar to other Adidas basketball shoes.

This other shoe called JKS 1 and had the Adidas brand, it seemed that Adidas already intended to make other shoes for Jake in the coming years, Jake had no way of knowing if the shoe would sell well because it would depend on the fame he had in the NBA.

But he liked the two sneakers and wanted many so he could use them in his training, while Jake was looking at his brand shoes David and Mark had already finished talking and went to where he was.

"I saw that you liked the shoes that our company made for you, Jake, everyone at the company went to great lengths to make this design and to get the shoes ready more quickly to be launched in the coming months."

"I really liked the sneakers, I liked the colors and found them comfortable too, even if I had given my opinion I couldn't suggest anything better."

"Glad you liked it, we are sure that your fans will also like the two shoes, the ideal is that basketball fans also wanted to buy running shoes, that would be the best for the company."

"We will talk about this later, Jake, you will have to record for a few hours here, we want to take this day to create at least 3 commercials, the 3 of which will be the same commercial that tells the same story told in three parts."

Jake asked what would be the story of the commercials and Mike explained to him, in the commercial Jake would be in a block of a community center, he would be in the stands, and inside the court, some young people who were more popular were winning all the games.

In the commercial there would be some women in the stands who were more interested in Jake who was in the stands than in the young people who were winning the games, so the young people in the stands who would be jealous would challenge Jake who was in the stands to impress women.

Jake who was challenged would accept playing a game with the youth on the court, so he gets up and the youth on the court realizes that Jake is taller than he looked while sitting, only one of the players on the court was taller than him.

Jake found it interesting and they went to the place where the commercial recordings would be made, it would not be at the advertising company, it would be elsewhere when Jake arrived everything was prepared for the commercial recording and the actors were prepared as well.

The recordings started and everything was done as Mike said it would be, Jake had to record the first scenes a few times because the actors hired them to miss their lines when Jake was challenged by the young people who were on the court, he opened the sports bag he had at his side and his new JKS 1 sneaker was shown on camera.

Jake put on his tennis shoes for the first time and the recording continued with Jake entering the court, the young men realized that Jake might know how to play basketball, so they chose the two best players in the group and challenged Jake to a one-on-one.

In the history of the commercial the best player challenged Jake first for the one-on-one, Jake did what he knew and naturally, he easily won the actor in the recording, even though the author was also a skilled basketball player to bring more realism for the commercial, Jake was an NBA player so he naturally won easily.

The youth on the court was annoyed that they lost and realized that Jake was much more skilled than they were, so they started challenging Jake to challenges that could be unfair to Jake.

The first challenge was the one-on-one game that Jake won, the second challenge was that Jake could only try the three-point shots when he was on the attack and the youngest man who was the tallest could do the shots just inside the line three points, so Jake would naturally be at a disadvantage.
