Chapter 224 Last National High School Championship 2

His stats of eloquence and charm also increased well, these were the two statistics Jake found most important that he received in this second job, even though leadership was important was more for his other jobs.

Charm was very important to show confidence and the older Jake got his charm increased naturally, his commercials could be successful thanks to this statistic and even with relationships, Jake knew this statistic could be important.

Eloquence was the key to everything when it came to business, there was a phrase that Jake heard was that if anyone wanted to leave an unarmed businessman they had to stop him from speaking.

And that was the truth, an example of this was that Jake worked hard to find Jeff Bezos and be able to talk to him personally, even though Jake knew about the future and had the money to invest none of that mattered if he couldn't even talk to Jeff Bezos.

So did Matthew, if Jake couldn't win Matthew's trust and talked so well about the risk of bankruptcy Jake couldn't have helped anything even if he knew the future.

After seeing that he had improved a lot these last months Jake could sleep much more peacefully and happily, the other week Jake went back to training with full force, he participated in training with the football team, did the training of plays with the basketball team, ran the 55 km of marathon training and still did weightlifting and treadmill at home.

As the system itself said that Jake could improve his physical statistics over the next two years he had to try at least not to mention that Jake's body was already very different from other people if he rested for a day his body would completely recover from fatigue.

If there was one thing he noticed from his training was that his Resistance had improved again, he had a lot more energy even after running, so Jake realized that maybe it was after the last marathon that he gained a Resistance point and his technique improved.

After all, as the system even said that he didn't get any rewards this time, he would still improve his skills and statistics as normal people did.

So Jake decided to increase the running distance of his daily training again to 60 km so that he could work harder and improve his stamina as well, so with these improvements maybe he could improve his running time in the marathon.

But since his current race time already allowed Jake to win this year's Olympics, Jake decided not to risk it for now and just do the basic training, so he was considering only taking a chance after finding a coach and changing his training method.

So Jake could hear from a pro whether he could run faster, but he would ask Tiffany to look for someone again only after the Olympics were over.

In the training sessions with the basketball team, Jake was feeling much more comfortable making the moves after he had confirmation from the system that his psychological problem was healed.

Even though no one noticed this small change because the focus of the training was again the dispute for a position in the starting lineup, Harrison was trying very hard in training after losing the starting position.

But he himself saw that he might not have a chance because he saw that Lucas was improving even better than he was in training, and Harrison's problem with his defense techniques couldn't be solved by just training more.

It was a talent problem too, after all in the beginning as he was starting to play basketball Lucas was already playing as PF and only later decided to move to SF position, so Lucas had much more defensive skill than Harrison who lost many years of training playing only in the attack.

David was almost always a starter as he was a much better player than Harrison and was once a key player in the Elite team attack, especially when he developed his 3-point shooting skills much further.

But because he played badly in the last game and Nathan came in as well as a substitute and pleased the coach he was afraid of losing the starting position on the team, after all, he could see that Nathan was improving a lot in training.

In fact, Nathan was known for playing even better than Lucas at Middle School last year, so much so that he won the MVP award for the Middle School National Championship before.

But when he entered high school he started playing very shyly and gradually improved by playing worse than his teammate Lucas, but that had a reason no one on the team knew.

The reason was that despite playing as SG last year Nathan just stood out and played so well because he also played as team keeper and his playing style and place on the court were similar to Jake.

The other players and not even Lucas who played with him before realized this was what was happening, of course despite having the same style of play Jake played more than 10 times better than him, even Nathan thought so.

So when he entered high school he realized this problem and knew that he had to change his playing style to play better and have more room in the team, so he still played as well in defense as before but was having trouble showing his Attack skills.

If Nathan had talked about this with the team he could probably already be the basketball team starter by that time, after all, Coach Mike could help Nathan find another style of play that he could do better.

And Jake himself could play in many different ways on the court, as someone who had far more than 1000 experience games in every position in his imagination training space Jake was far more versatile than anyone thought.

It was also because of this that he could adapt so quickly to the team's changing playing style at the beginning of the year, Jake only always played in the current playing style because he thought he could help the team more like this.

But if he found out that Nathan could play like that too, Jake would be free to try several different styles that would surprise his opponents.

Even so, Nathan was now totally used to his new style of play after almost a year and could play his best again, so he thought the team would only have to win if he were the starter in those final games.

With all this squad in the team the week went by quickly and the day of the fourth game of the national championship arrived, the opponent seemed to be even stronger than in the last game, knowing that coach Mike did not hesitate and put Nathan in the starting position SG.

So the starting lineup for this game was Jake in PG position, Nathan in SG position, Lucas in SF position, Carter in PF position and Mark in Center position.

If this team showed the same match they had in the last match, coach Mike thought he would have no problem winning this game even with the opposing team being more difficult.

Before leaving home for the game, after eating breakfast Eva warned Jake that Lola would go to the game again, at which point Jake had realized that Lola felt something for him.

But Jake was determined not to have any kind of relationship until after college after he could sell the shares he needed to sell and join the NBA. Jake wouldn't have much trouble to solve and could think back to relationships.

After all in 2000 Jake would still be 21 and even Lola would be 22, so if she still liked him by then Jake would agree to date Lola, of course, that was because Jake didn't love Lola and didn't feel very strongly about her.

If he was in love with her, Jake wouldn't have to wait all these years to make up his mind, yet he liked having Lola as a friend and was happy to have her at his games.

So after the game started Jake was playing as well as ever and the moves with Nathan and Lucas were being done very well and they could find many loopholes from the opposing team.

At the end of the first half, the Elite team won by 6 points, after all, even if the Elite team was playing well, the opposing team was also able to take advantage of the attacks.

In that first period, Jake scored 8 points and played well as in the other games, but even though Jake had no problem scoring more points his teammates were also fine and he made more assists.

At the end of the second period, the Elite team was ahead by 14 points with Jake scoring 10 points to 18 in total, and by the end of the third period the Elite team was ahead by 18 points and Jake had 8 points to the top 26 in total.

In this game, the opponent was good in his attacks and could use well to make mid-range points and thus avoided the strongest defense of the players of the Elite team.

Carter was also playing as well as ever and managed to force the opposing PF to make more mistakes, with everyone on the team playing so well Carter was sometimes overlooked, but he also improved a lot in defense and can contribute much more in attack after the style Elite's gameplay changed earlier this year.

By the end of the fourth period, the Elite team had won the fourth game of the national championship with a 24 point lead and Jake had scored 36 points, 14 assists and 8 steals, this was the game where Jake came closest to making a triple-double. after the record he had was over.

The biggest reason for this was that this year's national championship games were hotly contested and Jake didn't want to be selfish and try to force a Triple Double.

Now only two games left for the Elite team to be the champions again, even though they were confident that their team was playing so well this year Jake still couldn't help worrying about how tough the semifinal opponent could be next week.

This week of training everyone had to work harder on play training, and whoever played had to play very well, after all, only two games were left for Jake's team to officially graduate from high school games.
