Chapter 99 End of a Time 1
After greeting their opponents began the celebration, first the Foxes team received the silver medal and were much applauded by the cheer, then all Elite team players received their gold medal and Jake can finally get the long-awaited trophy.
Three years of fighting and a lot of training for Jake and his teammates, they even changed schools and went to another environment to finally be a national champion.
Jake later as everyone expected received the MVP award of the season, after this end, there would hardly be complaints from Jake receiving the MVP award and thus also ended his claims to have received this award in the regional and state championship.
Everyone has grown accustomed to Jake with all those sports gear and accessories with bandana, bandage, arm and body armor, and everyone wanted to take a picture of him to put on the paper.
After all the proceedings were over Jake thanked everyone who came to watch this game and prepared to leave with his mother.
Eric, who waited all the time Jake was alone, finally approached and congratulated Jake for the win and wanted to do an interview.
"Congratulations Jake, a beautifully played game that despite having been more difficult for his team really makes the trophy more valued thus, and congratulations also for being chosen as the deserved MVP."
"Thank you, it was really a game played, but I’m very happy that we came out winners."
"Your team did not show the same good performance they had in other games, if they had played better and were less nervous you think the result of the game would be calmer?"
"Today was the final, all the players in my team had a lot of pressure in this game, they left their schools and came to the Elite school to have an opportunity to win the national championship."
"In addition, they are all 13-year-olds and so in this game, they could not perform better, but I’m sure they all learned and matured a lot."
"But the Foxes team players and yourself are young too and have performed well in that game."
"The Foxes team players play on a team that has a greater experience in playing national championship finals, moreover, I’m sure even then they had a little nervousness and that affected their performance."
"I am the captain of my team, but I have had this position because I have a leadership position in the team and my mind is much more stable, so expected of me in this game by the coach and my team-mates who gave me that position was for me to stay calm."
"In addition, I do not think that just the nervousness was the cause of my team’s poor performance, also had the great strategy of offensive opponents who made a tactic that our team was not prepared to respond to the height and so our defense was lost in this game."
Jake as always said everything he thought about the game, he really thought this and the strategy of the Foxes team was a risky yes, but served to leave the Elite team players insecure and thus destabilize the mentality of the players.
If it had not been for the Elite team’s attack, in the case of that Jake game the winner would have been another, and with Jake’s team playing style that was really the best countermeasure.
"Would you like to thank someone special for this victory?"
"I would like to thank my teammates who did a good job and without them we could not even have reached the final, I would also like to thank my mother who supported me at all times and without her I would not be here, and I would also like to thank Clara and Tiffany and their Sports 100 and Natural Sports companies who sponsored me and allowed me to focus on the court."
"Okay, let’s take another picture of you with your mother as always and I as well as the other reporters we expect to see you in the league next year, but at high school this time."
So Jake and Eva took another picture together and then said goodbye to Anna and the others and headed home, Jake was exhausted after the game.
Although the Stamina Bar retrieves all of Jake’s energy does not restore the tension in the muscles which is obvious otherwise there would be no sense to use after training, but if it were not for the help of the system that protects Jake’s body from injuries he could not take all this burden.
Despite being exhausted Jake was very satisfied with everything that had happened today and in these last years, although some problems happened, it was still important that Jake got what he wanted to conquer.
But today was an important game and that he almost lost, could see that his luck could not help in all things, he would never expect that despite this year had a good team, that all were so poor in this important game.
As he told Eric he understood what happened and he was sure that after this game everyone would grow up with this experience and they would not make another mistake like that, but he just let it go because he had won even though he knew that if he lost he would be resentful of his colleagues for a long time.
When the game ended and Jake knew he had won the game he heard something from the system, but at that moment he could not answer otherwise it would seem that he had gone crazy talking to himself.
"Fate, what happened to you calling me after the game?"
[This was a game that could be easy for you and your team, but it turned out to be an important test and a difficult game for you, missing only 1 minute to finish the game with the opponent 8 points in front of the scoreboard, you were in a situation of defeat.]
[But if you want to become a professional basketball player and more than anything in a star, you could not give up just by being at a disadvantage in a game, so by not giving up you piqued more of your potential in the last moments to bring victory for your team.]
[So you have unlocked a new achievement that has to be done in 5 steps, with that victory you took the first step.]
[[Win a game that seemed lost using all your skills and reversing the impossible.]]
[[1 point increased for all your stats, improving all abilities below rank A in one level.]]
Jake was surprised because he did not expect to be able to increase his stats before the NBA, but he understood that what he can achieve in today’s game in the vision system was the beginning of what was needed to be a star.
"So show me my statistics window now Fate"

So his strength finally returned to what it was in his past life, with this Jake finally felt that he was really starting to improve, and with his current skills he was confident in facing a high school player with his pass and a shot of 2 and 3 he could have a seat on the main team.
So everything that was worrying Jake in these last months were solved after the end of today, were still more than 6 months to start high school until Jake could improve and until his height that was the main problems to play in high school too would increase.
The other day when Eva saw Jake coming down to breakfast she felt that something big had changed in her son from last night to now, but guessing it had something to do with the national championship victory she stopped worrying about.
It was good to see that her son had become more confident, for her Jake would always be a child, but Eva knew that Jake had great responsibilities since last year, now the clubbing was no longer a joke, but it was a career in which Jake began to walk and could not give up on the way.
So a few weeks have passed since the Elite team went to the national championship, even though Jake had been very prominent and was even highly praised by the media in general for a future star, at school it was not quite like that.
This year as the Elite school attempted to excel in all sports, although failed in some they still had won the national championship in several major sports, it is clear that since it was a private school linked in high school, the championships won by the team high school team overshadowed the results of the Middle School team.
So few people at school this time cared for Jake and who attracted the most attention was the older basketball team.
Jake, of course, did not care much about this, he had won the national championship first by himself as a personal wish, then by the companies of Clara and Tiffany and thirdly to fulfill his contract with the school, in no time he did this to receive compliments.
