Chapter 71 The New School 1 (1/2)
After the end of the game, the cheer was totally lively other than the last champion, everyone loved that game and they thought that Jake's game was incredible, the fans did not even remember having consideration for Kirk who was the loser.
And it was to be expected, Jake struggled to give a show in this match other than his normal game style, after all, he had to assert his sponsorship that was very well paid by the two companies compared to what he could do for the companies.
Now that he had the chance to promote the marks he would do his best, his mother also understood a little that his son played very well, and she also realized that the fans were much more excited than in the last tournament when Jake beat an opponent 4 years older.
Soon they set up the place and called Jake to receive the trophy and do the interview, Jake went to the audience before and gave a hug to his mother to take a bottle of sports drink from Tiffany's company, he liked the drink himself, he had a better taste than other companies.
So he went and to the applause of the public received the medal and the trophy as well as the check for $ 2,000, then the reporter who looked more like a gym teacher appeared in his sportswear to do the interview.
”Hi, young man, congratulations on having won the 12-year-old tournament, I and I are very fond of your game in the final and especially of that spin, tell us your name and where you are from here.”
”Hi my name is Jake and I would like to thank the city of New York for hosting this tournament which is a good experience for all of us, I come from Miami and I am very happy to have won.”
”So you came from far away here, I mean I think you play very well and have an incredible future in basketball, and I hope to hear more from you in the future.”
”Thank you very much.”
”Is there anyone else you'd like to thank here?”
The interviewer gave the space for Jake to make his announcement because the tournament organizers had accepted that in advance.
”I would like to thank my mother who always supports me and came here with me today, and I would also like to thank the Sports 100 and Natural Sports companies that support me allow me to concentrate on basketball.”
When Jake made the announcement he also pointed to the shirt and the drink in his hand.
”Congratulations again and thank you for coming here.”
After that Jake left the place that received the interview and took the picture with the trophy for the local newspaper.
As he was leaving the place Eric was coming up to him, Jake knew he would ask some questions and stood by his mother to wait for Eric as the David final began.
”And here we meet again, very good game today, you could see that if you had more freedom in your team you would have been the national champion, you may not know the team that eliminated you reached the final this year, pity they missed. ”
Jake really did not know but it was better to know that the team that eliminated them went so far to the championship but if they lost their team did not even have a chance to win, Jake just got a little sad because their hopes were very high.
”I took a picture of your last move and I'm going to ask for a copy of the recording of that thing to send to you, I think you've gotten the attention of the elders, even the 17's can not do like you, unless they make a beautiful dunk, but it will not be so easy because the two finalists have the same strength and no one will give so much freedom. ”
”I just have a few questions to ask, the first is what you expect to achieve in that school year?”
”I ended up changing schools this year and I'm going to be in Elite school this year and I have not yet seen the team they formed, but I've also improved a lot since last year and the one that is winning the final of the 13 years will also be in the same school as mine, so at least we will win the 2 championships that I won last year and reach the national level and have a better performance than last year. ”
