Chapter 132 Time of Changes 1 (1/2)
But Jake thought he owed a lot to the companies of Tiffany and Clara, they supported him from a very early age when no one knew for sure if he would be a good player or not and they continued with him even when he had to stay a while without playing what would hurt their companies.
Thanks to getting all this value from sponsorship since a long time ago he can take his mother out of the grueling work in the restaurant, have a good time those years while only caring about basketball.
He can also make several trips with his mother taking advantage of the time they had and he can even invest a part of that money to earn much more in the future and even fulfill Eva's dream of having a restaurant.
In addition, he considered Tiffany and Clara his friends, so for all this, he wanted to continue this contract with them until when their companies wanted, after another 6 years when he enters the NBA he will no longer have to worry about money at all.
”I want to continue this contract until the time the university finishes at least.”
”But have not you heard how much will be raised each month on your patronage?”
”It does not matter, I'm sure it will be very good.”
So lunch ended and Jake went back to his house, Tiffany stayed on the table for a while and then started to smile, she knew Jake would be like that and that's why their relationship was from friends plus business.
Maybe if it was only for Tiffany and Clara, Jake could tell that he did not even need to increase the amount of his sponsorship per month, but as a result, whoever won was other company shareholders too he needed to treat it as a business and take advantage of it to make more money.
Jake thought that if he could even compete in the Olympics two or six years from now, it would be great for companies to increase their sponsorship, so Jake was happy about that.
After all, this had happened Jake was now focused on the final game that would be in a few days, after training what was possible the coach Mike sent the whole team home so that the players could be well rested to play in the final.
Anna told Eva that she would be in the final also to see Jake's game, he was very happy about it and his mother, of course, would be in the final also to support Jake in that game.
As the days went by and the day of the final of the state championship finally arrived, Jake ate the feast in the morning made by his mother who always prepared a lot of food for Jake in final games.
After Jake packed his bag and went to the place of the game with his mother when he arrived everyone had already arrived too, the gym where the game of the final would be played was full of people even if it was still a long time before the game began.
This time the two teams seemed to be relaxed just waiting for the game to start, Jake could start packing for the game and meanwhile looked at the stands to see where the people he knew were.
Anna got a place near the court to sit next to Eva, Jake saw Eric also with a camera in his hands, he could also see Tiffany sitting in a place farther from the court, then Jake looked across the bleachers, but could not see Jenny anywhere.
He hoped Jenny would come by surprise because she should know about this game for Liza too, but she did not show up, now he hoped she could come to the national championship final if he could get there.
Jake quickly recovered, he had to win this game if he wanted to think about the national championship, and even if Jenny did not come to his mother and many people came to support him.
After a while the two teams were on the court just waiting for the game to start Jake's team opponent in the final was the Sharks team, they knew that the Elite team would be a tough opponent but they were confident they could win.
The Sharks' team had three players who were the highlights, the PF was called Robert, Robert was very fast despite his height, the SF Lucas was a player who was very good at shots from outside and also helped the team PG to organize the plays sometimes that confused the opponents.
And also had the PG of the team that so with Jake was in the third year of school and was already the highlight of the team, his name was Steve and he was the regional team MVP of their team, everyone on the team had a lot of confidence in Steve.
