Chapter 315 1997 NCAA Division I Mens Basketball Tournament 3 (1/2)

Jake was happy to have a week to rest and just doing his training that was easy for Jake, he wouldn't risk going home even though he had almost a week to rest before Sweet Sixteen, it was obvious that Coach Smith would not like it at all.

For the next week Jake was planning on just hanging out with his friends and relaxing beyond training, but the next day Tiffany called saying she wanted to meet him at a restaurant near the university.

Jake naturally accepted and was glad Tiffany came to the university to visit him again, only she and John came to visit him at the university in almost a year he was studying, of course speaking of people Jake has some business with.

Last time Tiffany had come more to talk than to tell Jake about Coach Davis, so this time Jake hoped Tiffany had just come to talk to him this rest week.

So after classes and training with the basketball team, Jake went out to meet Tiffany, she was beautiful with always wearing a very elegant suit made for business women like Tiffany.

”Hi Tiffany, you look beautiful as always.”

”Oh thanks for the compliment, Jake, you're also looking like a grown man now after you are 18, it's amazing to see how you grew up these last few years since the first time I saw you.”

”It's normal for me to grow a lot since before I was 14 if I didn't grow up I couldn't become a basketball player, maybe I'll keep growing.”

”You can't keep growing, I've always hated wearing high heels and have to wear when meeting you, now just sitting at a table I can look you in the eye, Hahaha.”

They both laughed for a while, it was fun to remember the past when two people had known each other for several years like Tiffany and Jake, especially in this situation where Tiffany met Jake when he was just a kid.

”I've been watching your games this season Jake, you have been doing very well this year, since I met you and saw you playing I always thought you had a basketball talent, but I'll admit that until this year I found it hard to imagine you playing in the NBA like the pro gamers, but now I can imagine you being very successful.”

”Thank you, I was lucky to choose such a good team as the Tar Heels team, only in that team I think I would have the opportunity to play my best and play so many games, I hope we keep playing until we win the NCAA tournament.”

”I hope so, I'm rooting for you and your team, but honestly seeing your team in the last few games I can't imagine you losing.”

Tiffany was honest, unlike Eva, she was someone who knew basketball well after following Jake for a few years, yet she also thought that Jake played at university as he played at high school.

Of course, she knew that college basketball games were much harder than in high school, but even though it was harder the results were still the same, especially this string of multiple wins that the Tar Heels team had.

”What do you think about the coach I found for you, Jake?”

”I found Coach Davis very good, he has some difficulties with his family and so accepted my demands, but he still does his job very well and doesn't interfere with my plans for the year.”

”And you plan to run a marathon this year?”

”Sure, I'm going to compete in some marathons until the Chicago marathon later this year, I don't plan on running in New York that year again, and I plan to win every marathon I run.”

”That's great, I hope you win a lot of marathons this year, you have the world record now, you can't start losing this year.”

Jake naturally did not intend to lose any marathon nor did he think it was possible to lose any marathon, but just as happened in New York a few years ago unforeseen events can happen.

”I came here to talk to you Jake, and because I want to tell you to prepare a few days for us a few months from now on your university vacation, my company and our company plan to make a commercial this year for our companies.”

”So you decided to make a commercial? That's good, I'll prepare some time so, I hope sales will increase even more, but you remember you can't make any implications for basketball in commercials, right?”

”Of course, we remember that your agreement with the university does not allow, we hope to enjoy your popularity with basketball and the movie you made at the end of the year, by the way very good your acting in the movie, I watched, you did well in keeping a secret from me.”

”Depending on when the commercials come out, it may end up using some popularity of the marathons I'm going to participate in mid-year.”

”It would be nice, at the end of the year we will send you a report of the investments that our company will make, if you want to give some idea you can talk to Clara.”

”No, I left everything in her hands, if she wants to buy me the shares I'll sell to her anytime, I'm too busy this year and don't understand much of sporting goods to give Clara any advice.”
