Chapter 225 Last National High School Championship 3 (1/2)
Even though everyone was training even harder to be able to play even better in the final two games of the national championship it was obvious that everyone was very confident and many were right about the victory.
That was not strange after all the Elite team was almost the same as it was last year's champion, in another year it was normal for everyone to think they got better and now they still had two great new players on the team to further improve their chances to win.
Of course, the biggest confidence of them all was Jake who was a great player who had no one like him in today's high school even though he didn't break any records in every game like last year Jake was still doing a media 35 points per game in this national championship.
Not to mention that Jake was still the team's best player in defense and controlled the game with his assists, so Coach Mike expected Nathan and Lucas to play much better so they could replace Jake next year.
Coach Mike knew it was impossible to find another player of the same rank as Jake to replace him next year, so he hoped that Nathan and Lucas together could do that, even if the team's skill level dropped, they could still try win again the national championship next year.
Coach Mike had heard a report that this year's Middle School basketball team had two great players coming into high school next year, they were the Center and PF of the starting team when Lucas and Nathan were in Middle School and won last year.
It looked like they should win the Middle School national championship this year too, so even though next year it was difficult for the Elite team to be national champions again in two more years they could try another two-time championship.
But that had nothing to do with Jake leaving school after the end of this semester to go to university, this week he was doing his best in training if he put in hours his full training beyond his time in school would give 10 hours per training day.
More than 4 hours for 60km running training, close to 1 hour for football team physical training, close to 1 hour of individual physical training, more than 2 hours for team play training at school and 1 hour doing the 3-point shooting drills he did whenever he could.
Before his training was no more than 6 hours normally, and before starting marathon training he trained less than 4 hours a day, so the more time passed the heavier Jake's training had to be in order to earn statistics points.
If anyone saw his training routine he would not doubt that Jake could compete in both athletics and basketball, of course on days when he had a business to take care of his routine it would decrease by many hours and sometimes he would not do his longer running training.
So while Jake was still doing his training during the week Oliver said he had something to talk to him about, even though the two of them were friends Oliver rarely called Jake to his house when he didn't have an important subject to say.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.
So Jake usually got tense when he was called, after all the last thing Oliver had to talk about was the problem with his friend Joseph's dating, luckily Matthew seemed to have completely forgotten about that after the successful digital camera sales.
”Hi Oliver, what happened to you calling me here?”
”You're my friend Jake, I can't just call you to talk.”
”Of course you can, I'd be happy if you always called me in to talk and had no problem.”
”I called you here for two matters, the first is to say that your house is ready for you and your mother to move, even if the court and athletic field you asked for is not ready yet this place is too far from your home and shouldn't bother you if you want to move there.”
Jake was glad to know that he could finally go to his own house, it was very uncomfortable to be at Matthew's house even though the house was great and Jake was a close friend of Matthew's, and Eva must be even happier about it than he was.
As for the court and his athletic field would be something Jake wouldn't have to worry about at the moment, after all, he didn't need a place of his own yet, after finishing the national championship Jake would take a break for the Olympics and then go to university.
That would be things Jake hardly even thought of using for now, what Jake cared about most was that his mother was comfortable in the new home and that her safety was assured, after all, Eva would be home alone when Jake was in college.
”The other subject I wanted to ask was which university are you going to after high school?”
”It will be the University of North Carolina.”
”So it's a shame, but I don't think Joseph is going to study at the same university you're not?”
