Chapter 519 - A Different Team 7 (1/2)

Jake accepted this challenge and he hit all three-point shots and when the tallest opponent attacked Jake got some steals and some blocks and also won the second challenge, so the young people realized they couldn't beat Jake in basketball.

Then one of the young men challenged Jake to a 10,000-meter long-distance run, the others understood that they couldn't win in basketball and even forgot that they wanted to win the attention of women in the stands, now they just wanted to defeat Jake.

Jake accepted this third challenge and took his sports bag and put on his running shoe that was the JKS Velocity 1, so the young people realized before the race that they were going to lose, and the commercial ended.

Recording the commercial took a few hours because the other actors made a lot of mistakes, Jake made no mistake and the directors knew that Jake was an actor too, yet they were impressed by his talent.

This commercial would be divided into three smaller commercials after the edition, the first commercial was with Jake winning the first challenge, the other commercial was with Jake winning the second challenge was with the young people giving up on challenging Jake in basketball and challenging him to the running of long-distance and with them realizing that they could not win.

Jake thought the commercial was very simple, but it was interesting for someone to see, Jake remembered that the Adidas commercials at that time were that simple and they just wanted to get the public's attention and show off the sneakers they were selling.

Then Jake had to go back to the advertising company to take some more pictures that would be used as advertising by the company, Jake had never done such a big advertising campaign and he didn't know it took that long.

Mark seemed to understand what Jake thought and said that this recording for the commercial would only last a few hours because the company knew that basketball players were very busy and had a few days off to do the recording.

That's because sometimes some commercials they did could last a few days or even a few weeks, Jake returned to his house when it was dark, and David told Jake that maybe in the next few weeks the other companies he endorsed could ask him to record a commercial too.

After all, the other companies also wanted to take advantage of this high popularity that Jake currently had in the NBA, Jake was happy because he knew that this recording of this commercial would also be good for increasing his fame in the world of sports.

NBA fans knew that the biggest stars normally had big NBA sponsorship deals, if Adidas managed to finish this commercial quickly and start selling the sneakers, it could coincide and even help the popularity of the movie The Matrix that Jake would participate in.

Jake asked Wachowski directors that he did not need to participate in talk shows to talk about the film, Jake thought it best that only the main actors worked to promote the film.

Certainly just because he participated in the film, NBA fans and especially fans of the Los Angeles Lakers team might want to watch the film he participated in, Jake was sure of the success of the film because the film had become similar to what he remembered in the past and just his character who was different in the film.

Now Jake already knew that he should expect several things in the coming weeks and the premiere of his film at the end of the month, the next day Jake woke up very early to prepare for the game that the Los Angeles Lakers team would have that day.

It was the second game in a row that the Los Angeles Lakers team would have against the Phoenix Suns team, in the last game the Phoenix Suns team played at home and in that game it would be in Los Angeles, so again the sports media expected the Los Angeles Lakers team to have the advantage.

When the game time was coming Jake arrived at the Great Western Forum which was packed again, he was one of the first to arrive and knew he had missed the training the team had the previous day to go and record the commercials.

Of course, Jake asked Coach Kurt Rambis first, but Jake didn't like to miss training, Coach Rambis and the other players didn't care because Jake played 48 minutes in every game and was being the team's main player in the last few games.

After a few minutes, the two teams were ready for the game to begin. The Los Angeles Lakers team would start the game with Jake Smith playing as PG, Kobe Bryant playing as SG, Rick Fox playing as SF, Robert Horry playing as PF, and Shaquille O'Neal playing as Center.

The Phoenix Suns team would start this game with Jason Kidd playing as PG, Rex Chapman playing as SG, George McCloud playing as SF, Tom Gugliotta playing as PF, and Luc Longley playing as Center.

They were the same players from the last game, the Phoenix Suns team started pressing in the attack and they were also pressing in defense, it seemed that they wanted the victory in that game even though the Los Angeles Lakers team was playing at home.
