Chapter 278 New Stage at College Basketball 2 (1/2)
”I was also happy when I won my first MVP award, I was very thrilled when I won my first marathon when I won the gold medal in the Olympics too, I was happy when I broke the world record, there were several moments.”
”You can see that you've had a lot of exciting moments and so you can't decide.”
”It's true, that's because every time I conquer something I feel that all the hard training I've had has been rewarded, so there's no way I'm not happy at all my achievements.”
”This year you have entered your college life too, what you have found so far.”
”I really liked the university, the classes are interesting and as everyone has to stay in the dorm I ended up managing to make new friends, the basketball team is also very good and all the other players and coaches are very kind to me.”
Of course Jake did not talk about the uncomfortable situation that he stayed with the basketball team at the beginning of the season, he was determined not to talk about his sponsorship in this interview, he did not want to create an uncomfortable situation with his companions of Team.
”At the beginning of this interview we talked about your basketball team Tar Heels that has a sequence of 5 victories followed at this beginning of the season, you also had a lot of importance in this sequence of victories.”
”You have 122 points in these first 6 games, with an average of over 20 points per match and still starting the first games as a reserve, how do you feel about it?”
”I'm finding everything amazing, I was lucky to be in good condition to be able to make so many points in these first games and my teammates also supported me, it is natural that as a freshman I start in the reserve in the first games.”
”When I got the best results on the team the coach gave me the opportunity to start playing as a holder, I think our team is very strong that year and so we have this sequence of victories.”
”Do you think this sequence of victories will continue?”
”I think so, this winning streak can be even greater and our team is struggling for that year to win the NCAA tournament.”
After answering several questions The interview ended, the reporter was very happy because Jake was very open and answered all the questions he did even when he responded evasively on some question that could cause problems for him.
After doing the interview Jake returned to the hotel and soon went out to catch the plane back to the university, the next day he would have more evidence and could not waste time strolling, Moreover, he wanted to return to his normal training after resting for a few days.
Returning to university Jake told his friends that he had won a prize and would appear in a magazine, his friends were very happy for him and were impressed by Jake leaving so quietly at the university when the week of evidence was Happening.
After all, usually this is the tensest time for students, even for athletes who need to have good grades to keep playing, even the most confidence did not think to travel during the week of proofs as Jake did.
Jake also told his mother about the prize he won and that he would appear in the magazine, Eva was very happy to know it, also was proud to know that his son had been recognized for his achievements even internationally.
Eva was also very homesick for her son, it was the first time Jake spent so much time away from home, she wanted all of Jake's games to go on television and so could see the son even though not personally.
She naturally knew that Jake was busy at the university and so could not go home, he could not just leave the university for no reason saying that he missed his mother, Eva just hoped that Jake could have time at the beginning of the year and Spend your birthday at home.
In the coming days Jake returned with his normal training routine, he ran all the moves alone because Zack was still focused only on the week of evidence, and in the training of the basketball team, all appeared to train even with the week of evidence.
It was different from Zack's case because they had an appointment with the basketball team and Zack just did the training because he wanted to, and right after the week of evidence would have new games, so the Tar Heels team couldn't stop training.
Jake was now a holder and was respected by all his teammates, even by Shammond Williams and Ed Cota who lost the seat of headlines to Jake, so the environment was very good for the team to train.
On the basketball team Jake was still closer to Charlie Mcnairy and Vince Carter, besides Antawn Jamison who approached him more thanks to Carter's help, unfortunately, on team Charlie did not have many minutes of play.
So Jake, Carter, and Jamison often joined up to train together, a few moves and even tactics that they could work together, Carter and Jamison also trained like this before and so they had so much rapport in the games, but with only two of them Could not make many moves in the training.
