Chapter 208 New Business 1
The game was as good as everyone else, the Chicago Bulls team won another game, by 120-93 against the Indiana Pacers team.
This was the best time for the Chicago Bulls team to end this season with a record of 72 wins and only 10 losses, at which point the Bulls would have 31 wins in 32 matches.
This year Michael Jordan would be MVP again after returning to basketball after a stop to play Baseball which was his father’s wish.
Michael Jordan had scored 29 points in this game and only Jake knew he was seeing one of the games of a season that would go into history for the Chicago Bulls.
It was a pity that Jake couldn’t play Michael at his best, even if he could play it was Jake who couldn’t play the best.
"Did you see this game well, Jake? If you can play half of what Michael plays you could one day be a great basketball player in the future."
Jake agreed with what Coach Bill said, but with the system, Jake’s goal was to play at the same level as Michael Jordan, even though it might be nearly impossible Jake was determined to try even if it took another 14 years before that.
After all the system said that with higher physical statistics Jake could play at his peak even after 30 years old, so he still had plenty of time to develop his skills as well.
After that Jake thanked Coach Bill so much for this gift, Coach Bill told Jake that he would try to talk to the NCAA university and organization to see if Jake could get permission to have sponsors at the university.
So Jake returned to Miami while Coach Bill went elsewhere, Jake was already liking Bill as a coach and expected to see him again soon.
After returning home, Jake went back to light training to fully recover, Jake was now thinking about how he could find a coach that suited his requirements and was still reliable.
It wasn’t that Jake was worried that something really bad could happen to him because even all the technology in the world couldn’t figure out how the system improved his body and what Jake had different from others.
But it would be strange if Jake were seen as different from other athletes in their physical appearance, he also wanted to be recognized as a talent above all.
So Jake decided to ask Tiffany for help again, after all, she was the only trusted person Jake could ask for help now as Clara was worse than Tiffany because of the problems and Jake didn’t trust John much.
Tiffany said she would look for someone suitable for Jake, the fact that Jake wanted someone who only knew the basics and was also trustworthy made things a lot easier for her.
If he asked for an elite coach or someone famous, it would be much more difficult for Jake, who was still playing basketball, no professional coach would accept an athlete with keen attention.
So Jake tried to prove himself while he was young, so he wouldn’t have so much trouble in the future, he knew Tiffany should take the entire vacation to find someone suitable because she was busy.
So Jake waited again for news of Emily who promised to meet Jeff by the end of the year and could not keep the promise as the year would end in another day.
But Jake didn’t blame her because she knew Emily had so many other things to worry about besides looking for Jeff, so Jake spent the year quietly with his mother and continued his training that intensified when Jake saw that he was recovering.
While training and waiting for Emily, Jake received an invitation that was unexpected to him, it was a request from the football team to have Jake play in a friendly match for them over the weekend.
Coach Jim knew that Jake had a great physical performance in PE classes and also playing for the basketball team, Coach even knew that after all the training that Jake was still running on the school’s athletic field.
In fact, it was the football team that had the biggest problems after the Elite school decided to focus more on sports because it was essential that the school make the biggest investment in football that was America’s favorite sport.
But while only making a promise to a few talented students for all sports including Jake and his teammates, the school could easily win state championships.
Unfortunately, this was not possible for football, because it needed at least 33 very talented players to improve the elite school’s weak football team, which was almost the number of students called in for all sports.
In addition, usually schools famous for being good at sports had two teams, and the VARSITY core team and the secondary team that was VARSITY JUNIOR, so they would have to have at least 70 good players to have some prominence.
Even if the school promising scholarships could invite these players and win the state championship it would be for a maximum of 2 years and then the team level would fall again.
Even as the school was needed, it made a big investment, and in two years it got an American football team to beat class 5A in the Florida region, which made talented new students interested in writing at school.
In the other 2 years, the football team still achieved good results thanks to the good work of coach Jim and even if they didn’t win the Elite school it was still well placed in those two years building greater confidence for new players to enter.
But even so the number of good players the school had decreased and many ended up getting injured at the end of the year, so earlier this year as the VARSITY JUNIOR team also had a friendly and had no player for the first team coach Jim got not knowing what to do.
So he chose the student he thought could best play among everyone in school, of course, he did it because he didn’t know Jake had just recovered from an injury.
Even though Jake wasn’t a fan of football, he still knew the rules very well, and with his statistics, it would be very difficult for anyone to hurt Jake in normal contact, Jake was also looking for a sport that could improve his strength and football could. be a good idea.
Of course Jake would never think of becoming a pro at this, but to play in his spare time would be a good idea if Coach Jim knew what Jake was thinking he would probably regret inviting Jake to the team.
Jake showed up at the school’s football training ground, no one came to talk to him and so Jake stood by the field until a young man came to take Jake to put on his protective gear before starting training.
As Jake was not used to the boy who was one of the staff assistants helped Jake put on his protective gear and uniform, as it was a rich private school everything was new and had lots of extra equipment for everyone.
When Jake returned to the field, coach Jim stepped away from team training and came to talk to Jake as he was the one who invited him to help the football team.
"Hi Jake, thank you so much for coming to help the team now that we needed it."
"No problem coach, I was on vacation and it’s just for a game."
"I’m glad you think so, for today you will just watch the training while the assistant explains some tactics and formations we use for you if you have any questions you can ask him."
After that Coach, Jim returned to follow the team’s training while the assistant began to show in a small board various formations and schemes that were used by the football team just as the coach said.
Jake listened very attentively while sometimes looking at the field to see the training, he asked many questions about things he did not understand to the assistant who explained everything patiently.
It seemed that Coach Jim really wanted Jake to really learn everything and left the assistant all day to teach Jake everything he needed to do the assistant sometimes repeated the same thing over and over again.
Jake wasn’t upset about that because he really wanted to learn everything the assistant said, so at the end of the training day, Jake was just upset about having to wear protective gear for nothing as he was not called to play.
After Jake went home thinking that the day was lost, in fact, Jake didn’t know why the coach bothered to teach him all this, after all, Jake didn’t think he would even have a chance to play as he had not trained and that he was just there to cover the numbers.
But if he could, Jake thought he could play as Running Back (RB) or Wide Receiver (WR), after all, Jake was certainly more agile and flexible than these other High School players.
Someone from the NFL could be faster than Jake, but his stats were too high for his age, as the strength only the heaviest and biggest players could be stronger than Jake, but these players couldn’t keep up with Jake at speed.
After all, it was impossible for anyone to have Jake’s strength without having developed muscles, it was possible for Jake thanks to the help of the system, and with larger muscles, players lose speed.
After everyone left home, the coach arrived to talk to the assistant who stayed with Jake all day, Coach Jim was all day paying attention to Jake even while coaching the team.
"So how did it go?"
"He is better than the expected coach, from the questions I asked him later in the day it seems that one day he managed to memorize almost all the tactics I gave him."
Coach Jim was very pleased to hear this, he thought that because Jake was the best player on the basketball team and was suddenly asked to help the school football team he would be annoyed to have to do all day doing nothing. just listening to the team tactics.
But to Coach Jake’s surprise, he had no arrogance and listened attentively without even complaining about anything.
