Chapter 455 - Jake Vacations 7 (1/2)

Jake thought it would certainly be a big nightmare if it were really like that in reality, playing with opponents who were better than him in almost every skill and knew how to use their skills better.

But it did a little to take away all the arrogance that Jake had being the first pick in the NBA draft and winning several individual awards at College basketball, Jake had to learn that even if he had good skills he would still start as an NBA rookie.

It was certainly difficult for other talented players to learn this lesson in humility as Jake learned before he even joined the NBA, but it would probably make teammates find him more enjoyable if he was humble in the beginning.

Of course, Jake still had the same dreams and still thought he wanted to win several NBA titles and be the MVP in several seasons, but he didn't need to think about getting it in his first NBA seasons.

So for him to spend more than an hour doing three-point shots on his court it was much more relaxing than the training he normally did, Jake was also developing another special move for when he had to play in the NBA.

It was a special three-point shooting movement that was different from the way he normally did, but if Jake managed after a lot of training to have the same hit percentage as he had to do the three-point shot it was usually very good.

This was a move he thought after doing this imagination training with opponents who were very good at blocks, and with this move, it was impossible for an opponent to block without missing Jake.

But Jake thought that this move could only be done better if he had more stats points in strength, even so, he could use it in games against opponents who were very good at blocks and were defending against him.

After relaxing with the three-point shots, Jake can go home and sleep peacefully, the other day Jake went too early to do his normal training that he had to continue, especially now that he felt he was really getting better with this training.

Jake had already recovered completely from the tiring run he had done on the last day just as he thought and after doing the warm-up exercises Coach Davis arrived, Coach Davis was also excited after Jake's training on the last day.

He couldn't help thinking that he was Jake's trainer who could win several gold medals in the marathons and in the 10,000 meters in the next Olympics and Jake could still run under the 2 hour time and break the world record that would be harder to break in history.

Even so, he still asked if Jake was fine and if he could try to run the same way as yesterday, after all, Jake could not try too hard and end up getting injured, otherwise it would be better to train more lightly and not take the risk.

Jake said it was okay and after doing the warm-up exercises he started running again, Jake would try to run at the same pace as on the last day and would do it until he didn't feel exhausted and the other days he would try to increase the total training distance.

If Jake managed to run the 50 km at this pace every day, he could guarantee that he could run at that pace in an official marathon and only then would he explore his limits and be able to improve even more in the coming months or years.

Jake was not in such a hurry anymore and didn't mind not improving his running pace until after the Sydney Olympics in 2000, after all, even though Jake had a dream of running in less than 2 hours in an official marathon, he didn't have to work too hard to train to achieve this in the coming months.

After managing to win in the 10,000 meters and 5,000 meters and once again winning a gold medal in the marathons, Jake would try once again to improve his race pace.

Without the stress of the challenge and having more confidence, Jake managed to run the 43 km at the same pace as the previous day and was much less tired, but he still wouldn't risk running for more km than that.

Jake analyzed his physical condition and saw that he could run a maximum of 45 km at this pace and he would be exhausted if he did, and Jake thought that in the coming months he probably could not run more than 45 km.

After all, Jake had 45 points in the resistance statistics and was running very close to the pace to be able to run a marathon in less than 2 hours, so Jake didn't think it would be easy to increase his resistance to be able to run more kilometers.

But he was already satisfied with that so that he could break his current world record smoothly and still continue training to improve even more in the years to come, Jake continued to train with great effort in the next few days and one day Jake received a new call from Kate that he was waiting.
