Chapter 83 An Unexpected Game 1

"Fate, were they the best players in high school?"
[They should be, this is the first year of this team together and they are still in the state championship like you are, so you can not be sure, but by their individual skills they must win.]
Jake had seen only a workout and not a real game, the players seemed to be just warming up, but he might discover something that although it should be obvious it was still shocking to Jake.
That he could not win from any of the titular team players in the one against one.
Jake knew this should be obvious, thinking about the age difference of 4 years, but despite trying to convince himself that this was not to be too convinced and start thinking he was better than everyone else.
But in his thoughts, Jake really thought he could already play with the best high school players, but what he saw today took any of those thoughts of Jake.
To start with was the height difference, he saw that none of the 5 were less than 1.80 m, before he thought that perhaps much lower players could play, but at least in the main team of the high school had no one.
Jake was sure he could reach that point, but perhaps only after the age of 15, before that, it was almost impossible for him to reach that point.
Jake also thought he could play against them because he could face a 15-year-old opponent with only 11, but it was in street basketball, in addition, he himself knew they were not the best of that age.
So he asked the system if they were even the best of the high school because if they were he would at least have an excuse.
Besides the height difference in the skill he also had to admit that he could not beat these players, and the worst thing was that he knew that not everyone was 17 years old and many were 16 or even 15 years old.
[I knew you were very inflated ego before, your team now can be considered the best Middle School now, and many of them have several S rank skills, and it sure is the same for the best high school team.]
[When you entered Middle School many of your skills were high ranked because you had several skills that you learned in your past life, but by taking your 2 of 3 and Free Throw shots, your other skills were at a high-level School at most.]
[Now you really are playing high-level basketball with the best, it's normal that you can not get over this being 4 years younger, this is only possible when you enter the professional level that talent is more important than age, is the phase that you are now the age also means the time that you have trained.]
[But I'm sure with a year or two of training you can be on this team, now you just have to keep training as you do now.]
So Jake calmed down, what the system said is right, he was much younger than the others and had more time, moreover, he had the system that would show his greatest out when he was in the NBA, at that time he could win statistics just playing well.
So Jake can relax and stop thinking about it so he can fall asleep.
Now he had two weeks to prepare for the final, although Jake was quite confident in winning as well as his teammates he still along with coach Mike underwent some training to improve some of the team's faults.
As she prepared for the final Clara called Jake for lunch.
Jake knew it should be something important for him to be calling, so he went to lunch.
"Hi, Jake, how long before we can see each other, the company has been doing very well these days and I've been busy."
"It's good to have that kind of concern, it means business is going well, I hope your business keeps growing like this."
"I also hope it will continue like this, I should thank you too, my business strategy was wrong before, I was advertising all over the country and so few bought my products."
"But with a few ads concentrated in Miami our sales grew much more, so I saw that the best strategy for a company with little time like ours is to concentrate the advertisement is only one or a few nearby cities first and then increase the reach over time."
Jake agreed with what Clara was saying, many companies because they have a lot of funds to invest think that making a national advertisement is the best for the business as big companies do.
But this is not always true, for new companies even if you have more money to do more advertising, starting in a city and making the brand well-known in this city is the first step.
After making the company well-known in a city first, it can increase the reach of the brand's disclosure to the state and thus increase, if the brand can not be even known in a city or after a state, it is not necessary nor try to increase the advertisement because the company has no future.
"So what did you call me for today?"
"Thanks to the success of my company and also of Tiffany's company, we are thinking of celebrating our achievements this year."
"So you as a face of our companies should be there for sure, and bring your mom too, it's just a party with some dancing and dinner with the people who most helped our companies."
"Will it be formal?"
"Yes, take a full suit and your mother in a dress, as she is so beautiful I'm sure she will be elegant in any dress."
"And when will this party be?"
"It will be after the end of your state championship and before your vacation, I know you want to take another trip with your mother, I'm jealous of you, I do not go on a non-business trip for a long time."
"Then we'll be there."
So Jake returned to his house and went to tell the news to Eva, his mother who had never been to a party so it got a little scared, but as it was a company party that helped so much Jake she knew she had to go.
So after a few weeks the day of the final game arrived, although everyone was quite confident they were still all nervous about this game, everyone thought like Jake, this was the last chance to win the national championship of Middle School, losing a game means the end, there would be no other year.
Everyone on this team was a good player and they also had their own pride, so they did not want to remember in the future that they could not win a trophy because they were careless in a game.
So this would be a different and more intense game than the other games of that championship.
The Elite team's opponent for this game was an old acquaintance of Jake from last year, it was the Lions team Jake won last year.
Unlike the other teams the Lions seemed to be confining to their win, Jake found this a bit odd because despite the players being different the team coach was the same, which means they were confident even facing Jake who was with a team much more strong than last year.
It seemed that the team highlights were the SF and SG of their team who could shoot 3 well, SG was called Daniel and SF and called Tobey and when Jake looked, they looked confident.
So the game began with the ball going into possession of the Elite team, Mark soon passed to Jake who began to organize the first attack.
He was bouncing the ball calmly while his teammates had already positioned themselves in the attack, it seemed that the Lions had also arranged a zone marking, Jake did not care and soon passed to David.
David who was excited to make the first attack of the final tried to leave to the bottom of the court while passing by Daniel, but soon after the PG of the Lions team appeared to cover the move and David who was confused stopped the attack.
He looked at Jake and was surprised when he saw that Jake was completely unmarked and so passed the ball to him, Jake just received and made a quick pass for Mark to make the first two points of the final.
So soon after the Lions' attack began, all Elite players began to score with pressure after the midway line.
This was an end game, the marking had to be as strong as possible and did not give the other team the chance to do the attacks quietly.
Whoever was organizing the Lions team attack for this game was Daniel and not the team PG, Daniel soon passed the ball to Tobey who made a feint in Harrison and got a 3-point shot making the first points of the team.
The Elite team was not shaken by it and Jake started to organize another attack, as soon as he got close to the 3-point line he passed to Harrison who was to reciprocate the points that marked him on the defense.
But soon the Lions team PG came in to make a double team.
So everyone on Jake's team realized where the confidence of the coach and the Lions team players came from, he wanted to leave Jake unmarked and team up with the ball, they were counting on Jake not being able to score.
