Chapter 554 - The Playoffs 4 (1/2)

”Jake, the Los Angeles Lakers team won the first 2 games and if they win the next game they will advance to the next phase of the playoffs, are you confident of being able to advance to the next phase?”

”We are certainly confident, the Minnesota Timberwolves team is an excellent opponent and they are certainly a good team for advancing into the playoffs, but we are confident in being able to win and advance to the next phase of the playoffs.”

”Jake, do you think that if you win the NBA title with the Los Angeles Lakers team you will win the MVP award?”

”I don't know, a lot of the players who were chosen as the MVP of the season didn't win the NBA title and some didn't even make it to the NBA Finals, but I think I have a chance of winning that award this season.”

”The truth is that my teammates and I are going to strive to win this NBA title regardless of any prize, that is our priority.”

”Jake, do you think the Los Angeles Lakers team is the favorite to win the NBA title this season after those two victories in the first two playoff games?”

”I think our team has been the favorite to win the NBA title since before the playoffs, we have the best attack this season and we are the team with the most victories this season, but we will still have to strive like all the other teams to win the NBA title.”

The reporters were happy with Jake's responses in that interview, Jake did not deviate from the questions and the reporters realized that Jake had learned to talk better with the media to prevent his words from being misunderstood by others.

After the end of that game, Jake returned to his house with his mother, the next game for the Los Angeles Lakers team was in 2 days, so Coach Rambis decided to let the players rest the next day and only the next day the players would go travel to Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The players who were already a little tired after those first 2 games were very happy about it and Jake was also happy as he played every minute in every game, Jake had prepared a reservation at a hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota for Eva and had to warn that she would be late one day.

Jake also called to tell the driver of the car he had rented and the pilot of the helicopter, Eva was anxious because it was her first time riding a helicopter and she didn't mind delaying that trip by another day.

Jake came home and had his dinner with Eva and after that, he went to his room, Jake didn't go to sleep and called Kate to talk to her about the 2 games he had in the NBA playoffs, Kate couldn't watch to the games and for the past few days, she was busy with her concerts.

That day Jake knew Kate wasn't too busy and called her, Jake talked for a few hours with Kate who was happy with the Los Angeles Lakers team's victories and was also happy to know that Eva was watching Jake's playoff games.

Jake can rest well after talking to Kate and the other day he woke up very early to eat the breakfast with his mother, Jake took advantage of that rest day to take Eva to visit some places in Los Angeles.

Jake himself did not know many places, but the main tourist spots he knew and Jake also knew many famous restaurants with typical foods from various countries, this was currently the thing that most interested Eva.

Eva now had a restaurant that served typical dishes from all countries and to do that Eva had to know the dish she would make well, but after the restaurant opened Eva no longer had to travel with Jake and did not know any new dishes in countries many different.

So Jake used his experience with cooking and looked for places that had dishes that Eva had not yet made in her restaurant, Eva liked that a lot and was very happy with this tour with Jake.

After that Jake went to a movie theater to watch his movie with his mother, that was a request from Eva even though she can't watch the movie premiere with Jake, Jake naturally accepted it because he wanted to see the movie he participated in again.

Jake watched the premiere of the film, but he paid more attention to what had changed from the film he had seen in his past life than to the performance he had in the film, so this time Jake paid attention to the history of the film and his performance too.

Watching the scenes Jake realized that the scenes he had done with the doubles who knew how to fight seemed more real than the scenes he did with other actors who did not have much training, that was because in the scenes of Jake with other doubles it was not much editing was required and the fight scenes were almost real.
