Chapter 570 - West Conference Semifinals 10 (2/2)
After a while the car Jake rented picked up his friends at the airport and they arrived at Jake's house, the three were very surprised to see Jake's mansion, they knew that Jake had a lot of money, but they didn't know that he had stayed so rich after leaving university for just 1 year.
”What a beautiful house, Jake, if I had known that you had such a nice house, I would have come before to pay you a visit.”
”It's nice to see you too, William, I didn't expect you to come and visit me here on your vacation.”
”I also didn't know that we would be visiting you anytime soon, but now the Los Angeles Lakers team arrived at the West Conference Finals in its first season, we had to come here and cheer for you.”
”Unfortunately Aaron cannot come with us because he has to train for the American Football team games, we know that you are going to be very busy after entering the NBA, so we decided to come here.”
”I see, how was this semester at the university for you?”
”It was more difficult to pass the exams without your help, Jake, I didn't know that my grades would drop so much, luckily I still managed to pass after studying more.”
”William is right, even though I didn't study in the same classes as you, you still helped me a lot, and this semester it was much more difficult, Jake.”
”Hahaha, I said that I helped you a lot, but you still thought you were very smart and that I didn't help you much, now you have seen the truth.”
”How's your training going, Zack?”
”It's harder to train now that I don't have you to train with me or Coach Davis who came to Los Angeles, but I still kept training every day, I think I managed to improve this past year and the next marathon we're going to running together I will show you this improvement of mine.”
Jake was happy to see that Zack had continued his training even after he and Coach Davis left the university, Jake thought about asking Coach Davis to stay at the university to train Zack.
After all Jake knew he wouldn't do any running training until the end of the NBA season, but soon Jake gave up doing it because he knew that Coach Davis wanted to buy him a house to live with his family in Los Angeles that would be where Jake the next few years would pass.
After all, Coach Davis lived with his family in a hotel for the 2 years that Jake remained at university, so Jake thought it best to let Coach Davis buy his house and stay on vacation in Los Angeles during those months that Jake would be playing in the NBA season.
In addition, Jake wants to see if Zack would still continue to train even after he and Coach Davis left the university, after all in the future Coach Davis could not continue training Zack, so it was better than Zack got used to it.
”I am happy to see that you continued training and that you still want to run in the marathons, this year I think about running again in the Chicago marathon, I cannot guarantee that this will really happen, but I would be happy if you ran with me.”
”Of course, Jake, I'm going to run in Chicago again and I'll be able to run in a much shorter time than last year.”
”Zack, I think that after this Chicago marathon you should start running some marathons during the year without me, you have to be independent if you want to be an even better athlete, who knows you will become a marathoner in the future too.”
”I had thought about it before, I still don't know if I want to be a professional marathoner in the future, but I'm sure that I love running and I want to continue training to stay healthy.”
”You don't have to become a professional marathon runner if you don't want to, you can have another profession and just run 1 or 2 marathons during the year if you can continue training and it doesn't hinder your work you can still run the marathons.”
”I think you have the talent to be a professional marathon runner, in just 3 years you trained hard to be able to run a marathon in less than 3 hours, so in the future, you may be able to be in the top 10 in several marathons and maybe even win one marathon someday. ”
