Chapter 543 - The New NBA Star 3 (1/2)

”It must be difficult, I always liked cinema and when I was a child I dreamed of being a singer and an actress, but now I don't think about acting anymore, I prefer to just continue singing my songs.”

”If you are interested in this I think you should try it, Kate, you have to follow your dreams, you are very beautiful and with the fame that you have as a singer it would not be difficult for you to get a chance to act in a film.”

”No, as I said, I dreamed of two things and when I grew up I realized that I loved music so much that I became a singer, I really admire you who can be very good at doing many things, but I can't.”

”Okay, I'm not going to insist, I wanted to maybe act in a movie with you someday.”

”I wanted to, too, but if I became an actress I might have to make other films where I kissed other men, you wouldn't want that.”

”I certainly wouldn't like it, but I would understand that it's your job, I respect and trust you, Kate, so I know I shouldn't be too jealous and let you be independent and happy.”

Jake was being sincere saying that he would respect Kate's decisions, it was impossible for him not to be jealous watching her kiss another man, but if she did that as an actress he would try to understand, just as Kate would also have to understand if he made a film like this someday.

”I am happy to know that you trust me, I would also be jealous of seeing you kissing another woman, but I also trust you and would understand if you did that in a movie.”

After that the two talked for much longer, Kate said she would be busy in the next few months with the shows and that she would be lucky if she had a few days off until the end of the year, Jake knew Kate was thinking of working until the end of his next NBA season.

Only at the end of the season did she want to take a few months of vacation so that she could spend those months with Jake who would also be on vacation, of course at the end of the year she would have 1 month to rest because Lily thought it was necessary.

After Jake talked to Kate he can sleep soundly, the next day Jake woke up very early on the first day of April, that day the players would have a light training and would travel to the next game.

There were less than 20 games left for the reduced season to end and thus the great sequence of games that the teams had this season would end, players would still tire a lot in the playoffs, but with the chance of winning the NBA title the players would be more excited.

Jake left home early because training would be in the morning, Jake greet his teammates and thanked them again for going with him to the Premiere of the film he participated in.

Before going to training, Jake had seen several magazines and newspapers talking about this Premiere and about the players of the Los Angeles Lakers team going to support Jake at his cinema debut, Jake also saw many compliments he received for his first film.

The players did a light training and Jake felt coach Rambis worried because even with these 3 days of rest Shaq was not fully recovered, luckily they would only have 1 game as a visitor and then they would play at home and thus the players would tire less.

The afternoon after training the players traveled to Phoenix, Arizona which was where the Los Angeles Lakers team's next game would be, they arrived in Phoenix and went to the hotel that the team had prepared so they could rest.

They would have the rest of the day to rest because the next day they would play the next game, those 3 days were excellent for Jake who managed to fully recover from the fatigue of the entire season and was just as well as at the beginning of the season.

Jake could play every game until the end of the playoffs without feeling as tired as he did this season, the reason for that was that in the playoffs they would not play 3 games or more a week as they did now.

Soon came the day of the next game that would be against the Phoenix Suns team, in this part of the season the Phoenix Suns team was already much better with 15 victories and 17 defeats, if they continued like this they would reach the playoffs.

This was the fourth game between the two teams and it was more of a confrontation between Jason Kidd and Jake Smith, this time Jake had been chosen twice as a player of the month and it was undeniable that he had the ability to be compared to Jason Kidd and currently was better than him as PG.

The Los Angeles Lakers team went to the America West Arena and saw the Phoenix Suns fans excited about this game and waiting for the Phoenix Suns team to win, so the players got ready and went to the court to start the game.
