Chapter 254 The University 4 (1/2)

So he trained normally with his teammates, Jake didn't know how to mingle with them, Jake wasn't like Zack and so just did the training normally, in fact in the middle of the training few spoke to respect the coach.

Only in the warm-up and when they had mid-range and 3-point shooting training, probably in play training or game simulation, they also talked, but at the beginning of the semester, they only had fitness training.

They were in September now and Jake remembered that the first official game was in November, so they had almost 3 months to adjust the team before the first game, Jake knew it was almost impossible for him to be the team owner.

So he had to show that he was able to play as a substitute in the games, his biggest rival in the team for a spot was Ed Cota and Shammond Williams if the coach decided to put him as PG.

Jake knew that Shammond Williams was one of the coach's favorite players and a junior who was in his third year on the team, and Jake knew that Vince Carter should be the starting man in SG position, so Jake had to fight to have 10 minutes of play in that first year.

What Jake didn't know was that thanks to Bill Guthridge who had spoken very well of him, in Coach Smith's view he had the same game opportunity as Ed Cota who was also a Fr, Jake thought he was at a disadvantage because he came from the future and knew what Ed could do.

Even so, he was confident that he could lead the Tar Heels to win the NCAA Tournament, which is why he chose this university, and Ed Cota couldn't do it, even though he was so talented.

The hardest fact was that Ed Cota had an incredible record of having made over 1,000 career assists, even though Jake had the confidence to do the same he thought he couldn't unless he played all four years at university.

Jake had more confidence in the steals record made in university time, only in his triple-double records in high school had he almost broken that record, and that was less than 30 games, with over 100 games he would do much more than that.

At first, Jake wanted to beat all records in-game statistics in his time at university, after a while, he realized that it would be difficult for him to get a place in the team, let alone try to break the records.

Not to mention that for Jake it was much more important to win than to try to break some kind of record, so if he could win the NCAA Tournament he wouldn't mind coming in as a substitute for the games of the season.

After training Jake considered talking to some of his teammates and idols, but the other players seemed to be ignoring him, so Jake realized that his teammates had not yet accepted the special treatment Jake was receiving.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Even if they didn't try to cause any confusion or problems because of the coach's order they could still just ignore him.

So Jake gave up trying to find someone to talk to in the early days when he showed his skills he believed he could receive acceptance from his teammates.

Jake returned to his room again to talk to his friends, his car had already arrived in the city and Jake left the car at the university, but as they only went to nearby places he did not use the car normally.

In the early weeks, Jake was trying to get closer to his friends, because after a few more days he would have to resume his normal training routine when he resumed training he would not have so much time to talk to his friends.

In a few more weeks Jake would have to go to Chicago to run the major marathon again, even though he could no longer gain statistics even if he won the race it was important to try to win out of respect where he won the first marathon.

Even though Jake was overflowing with confidence after winning the marathon at the Olympics he couldn't relax and stop training, the reason Jake became more relaxed was the great system reward he received.

Jake can't check in until a few days after winning the Olympics, but this gold medal had increased all his physical stats by 2 points!

Jake didn't really expect that he could get such an incredible reward, the system said the Olympics were the most important competition for any athlete and far more important than a major marathon, so it was normal that he could get it.

So Jake understood that this was really the case, and after this reward on every unpublished gold medal he could get at the Olympics, he would earn an additional 1 point on each physical stat as a bonus.

This made Jake much more excited and determined to continue his plan to participate in a number of different competitions at the Olympics so that he could get 10 more points from each physical stat in the next competitions.
