Chapter 104 A Difficult Beginning 3 (1/2)

”In addition, the Philips coach who is the coach of the high school team and who was once coach of a good team at a university even made a new rule, in this rule only players who are more than 1.76 tall can play in the team holder.”

”But that's wrong, it's a bias that takes away the opportunity of those who are lower to play, everyone should have the chance to show off their skills regardless of the height.”

”Despite being biased the coach has a little bit of reason while at that, few geniuses in basketball history could play better than others having a much lower height, actually 1.76 high is already considered small for basketball.”

”So what are you going to do, son?”

”I'm going to keep training to see if anything happens, does not mean I can not play basketball anymore, it's going to be like this for only a few years, I'm sure that time will not be a problem for me in the future.”

So Jake finished talking to his mother, there was nothing for him to do anyway, he did not want to change schools again because of basketball even if his contract allowed, moreover after he won the national championship he was no longer so eager to play.

Jake really wanted to win the national high school championship as well, but he was still 4 years old for that, when he was in his junior year high school he thought he could win even if he played with a weak team.

Even though he was quite sad and disappointed in knowing that he could not play more this year, Jake was really eager to play even knowing that he had no advantage over his abilities, it was good to play a difficult game to increase the skills as was the final.

Jake was also thinking that if the situation did not change and he was sure he could not play this year, Jake would have to tell Tiffany and Clara that they were representatives of the companies that sponsored him.

Then he lay down on his bed and thought for a long time, since when he was a person who was so easily annoyed with a problem, after everything he spent in his past life he was living a paradise now.

So remembering that only came to live until 40 being a positive person Jake calmed down to finally managed to sleep.

The other day, Jake went to school one more time, things were different now than they were last year, before he wanted to finish classes quickly so he could go basketball on the court, and now he wanted to stay longer in class and stay sad when he had to go to the court.

Even so Jake went to the court every day to train with his colleagues to see if he learned anything by watching the starting team play, but even after several days of training the coach Philips seemed to have no intention of leaving Jake or training a match against the team.

After seeing Jake training for several days with nothing happening differently, Liza, who was already quite a friend of the players as she was a good manager, never talked to Jake, even though she could see that he was feeling discouraged.

So after the training was over and all the players left, she packed up quickly and then went to the Philips coach's office.

”Hi, Liza, did you finish packing?”

”Already a coach.”

”Thank you as always Liza, I really appreciate what you are doing for this team, if we win this year apart will be what you are doing for the players.”

”Thank you, coach, I came here because there was something I was curious about after training today and I wanted to ask.”

”You may ask, sometimes if you see something I have not seen it can help the team.”

”I wanted to ask about Jake who was the MVP of the National Middle School championship last year, even though I was not in the same room with him I still went to see the game end and saw that it is much better than the other players his team.”

When coach Philips heard Liza talk about Jake the coach's expression darkened for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

But Liza noticed when the coach changed the expression, it seems that the coach had something against Jake himself.

”So you want to ask why even Jake playing so well will not be able to play in the starting lineup?”
