Chapter 567 - West Conference Semifinals 7 (1/2)

Of course, if Jake sold the billions of dollars his investment firm had in shares of the Cisco company he could be the cause of the bubble burst in this life, so Jake had to start analyzing the stock market better and see the reports that Emily always delivered to him.

In addition, Jake had to continue to monitor whether the lawyers he hired would get all the patents he wanted for the smartphone, and for touchscreen and multi-touch technologies, Jake wanted all patents to be approved by the end of 1999.

That was because Jake knew that next year he would no longer be able to hide the wealth he had, so big tech companies like Apple and Microsoft would definitely investigate the patents Jake wanted to approve at a technology company he had.

After all, everyone would know that Jake was one of the biggest partners of the company Amazon, which was one of the companies that had the most expectations of growth in the market in the coming years, besides, everyone would know that Jake had invested billions of dollars in the company Cisco.

Jake also hoped that by the end of next year Charlie's team, which was now bigger, could finish developing the Android operating system, Jake would ask for many patents for that operating system as well, but it was impossible for Apple and Microsoft to know the importance of this technology and the internet was still starting to become popular and even desktops still had to evolve a lot.

Jake was not concerned with the Android operating system because he intended to share that technology with the Google company that Jake was a partner of and who in his past life created the Android operating system.

In addition, Jake still had the track and field and after the holidays he would return to play basketball next NBA season, so Jake would remain busy for the rest of the year, so Jake knew he had to take advantage of all the rest days he had.

After a few hours Jake drove his car to drive around Los Angeles for a while driving his car, Jake left alone this time because he wanted to enjoy the day driving the McLaren F1 he had.

Whenever Jake left the house to walk with his mother, he had to use his other car because only the McLaren F1 was a car that had passenger seats, it was a sports car that was comfortable only for the driver.

That was why Jake never took his mother and Kate for a ride with him in that car, so Jake wanted to enjoy that he had a day to relax and went to drive this car that was very fast and that's why Jake liked it so much.

The truth was that after being hit twice in his past life, Jake never thought he could continue liking cars, fortunately having the system in Jake's mind was much stronger and those past traumas no longer affected him, unfortunately in this life, he could still have other traumas if he were careless.

After walking his car for a few hours Jake went back to his house and called Eva to watch some movies, so Jake really enjoyed his rest day and went to sleep early to be prepared for the important game he would have the next day.

The other day after a few hours Jake went to the Great Western Forum where the next game would be, Jake remembered that in his past life the Los Angeles Lakers team had played their last game at the Great Western Forum after all the Lakers team was eliminated after 4 games for the San Antonio Spurs team at that stage.

Fortunately in this life the Los Angeles Lakers team was close to qualifying for the next phase playing at home and would still have a few more games at the Great Western Forum, Jake thought this was important since next season the Los Angeles Lakers team would start playing at the Staples Center.

Jake was happy to have the opportunity to play at the Great Western Forum last season that the Los Angeles Lakers team would play, just as Jake was also happy to play a season with coach Dean Smith while playing on the Tar Heels team.

Jake can see that the fans of the Los Angeles Lakers team would fill the Great Western Forum to follow that game in which the Los Angeles Lakers team could advance to the next stage in the playoffs.

The crowd counted on Jake and the players of the Los Angeles Lakers team to win this game and advance to the next stage, of course, what the fans wanted most was for the Lakers team to advance to the NBA Finals this season and win the NBA title.

Jake entered the locker room and after a while, he went out onto the court with the other players on the Los Angeles Lakers team, before that game Coach Rambis did not make a speech again and just told the players to use the same strategy as the last game and win that game.

”Welcome to everyone who came to watch another game this NBA season, this is the fifth game between the Los Angeles Lakers team facing the Portland Trail Blazers and this could be the last game of that phase.”
