Chapter 504 - Change in Los Angeles Lakers Team 2 (2/2)
”The game is over and the Los Angeles Lakers team wins their eighth game this season, really the Los Angeles Lakers team is one of the teams that have the most victories this season, and with this game, the San Antonio Spurs team has 5 losses this season.”
”Yes, the San Antonio Spurs team played well in that game with Tim Duncan and Sean Elliot being the best players, but it seems that something is missing for them to be able to start winning more games and it is good that they find what is missing soon or they will be out of the playoffs this reduced season.”
”That's right, the Los Angeles Lakers team is really doing well this season, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are playing very well in every game and Rick Fox has also been important in the games and is managing to score more than 12 points in almost All the games.”
”But surely the highlight of this game and of the Los Angeles Lakers team this season is certainly Jake Smith, in this game he got another triple-double, he got 5 triple-double in 9 games and he also has another 2 double-doubles.”
”With such a performance I have to say that we can no longer see Jake Smith as a rookie but as one of this season's MVP candidates, Jake Smith played 9 games this season and played 48 minutes in every game.”
”In these 9 games Jake Smith has a Field Goal Percentage average of 81 percent, and in the 3-Point Field Goal Percentage the average is 80 percent, this is something incredible even for the best players in NBA history in shooting three points.”
”Jake Smith still has an average of 32 points per game and 12 assists per game, any of those statistics would be enough for Jake Smith to be one of the MVP candidates of the season and Jake Smith has them all.”
”I also agree, if Jake Smith continues to play like that and the Los Angeles Lakers team advance into the playoffs, I think it's quite possible that Jake Smith will even be chosen as the MVP of the season.”
The commentators were excited after seeing Jake's first games of the season, they used to wonder if Jake could be the best rookie of the season and now they were wondering if he could be the best player of the season.
It was also noteworthy to see the fans of the Los Angeles Lakers team at the Great Western Forum, with the passing of the games of this season more fans began to bring posters with the name of Jake and his nickname of Captain America.
It showed how Jake was becoming one of the Los Angeles Lakers fans' idols after only 9 games on the team, that was because Jake was playing very well and because the fans wanted to see the Los Angeles Lakers team win the NBA title again and they could see that Jake could help the team achieve that.
After that great game, the players went home happy, the Los Angeles Lakers team had lost just 1 game this season and the team played well in all games, so the players knew it would stay that way throughout the season.
The next game for the Los Angeles Lakers team would be in two days so players would have one day to rest before the next game, but as it was a game in which they would be the visitors the team would travel the next day.
Jake could return to Los Angeles just the day before the Grammy where he had to attend to support Kate, he was still sad that he couldn't go to the Grammy to cheer for Kate and had to attend at home.
Only when he was most upset about not going to the Grammys did he receive an unexpected call, Keanu Reeves who had become friends with him in the filming of the movie The Matrix called him, Jake was happy and surprised by Keanu's call.
”Hi, Jake, how are you?”
”I'm fine Keanu, we haven't spoken for a few months already, I wanted to call you, but I didn't want to disturb you.”
”You can call me whenever you want, Jake, congratulations on your excellent performance in the first games of your NBA debut season, when I saw that you wanted to become an actor I thought you didn't play that well Hahaha.”
”But from what I'm seeing in the media, you're the best rookie and can become an MVP candidate of the season, it really surprised me.”
”I am also happy with my performance and with the Los Angeles Lakers team if we continue this way we can win this season's NBA title.”
”That would be really amazing, what are you waiting for next month's premiere of our film?”
