Chapter 83 An Unexpected Game 1 (1/2)
”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.
