Chapter 573 - West Conference Finals 3 (1/2)
Jake was happy to know that he was not disturbing his mother and Anna too much, he had the idea of calling Anna to help Eva with the restaurant, so Anna was no longer alone and Eva had gotten a great friend and a trusted advisor.
”I'm happy to know that Anna is rooting for me, I know how tiring looking after the restaurant can be, it's a shame that she can't watch my games in the playoffs, but I know how she wanted to be here.”
”Yes, Anna wanted to be here too to watch your games, Jake, who are your friends that I saw when I arrived?”
”These are the friends I was lucky enough to make while I was at university, William and Zack were my roommates in the university dormitory, and Haruto is a friend I met at the university and he will be working with me next year.”
”William studied at the same course as me at the university and Zack also likes to run and trained with me and ran some marathons with me, you met them at the university, mom.”
Eva didn't remember Jake's friends because she only saw them a few times, that was normal because she didn't have as good a memory as Jake's memory, besides, Jake didn't remember, but at the university, there were always a lot of people around him when he played on the Tar Heels team.
Even though Jake had told her who his friends were, Eva met hundreds of people every month at her restaurant, so she couldn't remember Jake's friends, especially since she didn't see them often.
Eva chatted for a while with Jake's friends and she was happy listening to William and the others just praising Jake, Eva was also happy that Jake had more friends with him than Joseph who was the only friend Jake talked to after finishing school.
Jake was smart and even more after he became famous he had many people who approached him, but it was only after a few years that Eva would know who Jake's real friends would be who would continue talking to him after they were away.
Jake was more relaxed after going out with his friends and seeing his mom coming home, he felt good and went to sleep early to be ready for the important game the Los Angeles Lakers team would have the next day.
The other day Jake woke up early and when he went to the kitchen he saw that Eva had prepared breakfast for him, Eva had to cook for Jake knowing that he would have an important game that day, so William and the others also woke up and ate breakfast together with Jake.
”You're really lucky, Jake, you told us that your mom owns a restaurant, but I didn't know that she cooked so well even though she made breakfast.”
”I told you that my mother is also a chef, in the beginning, her restaurant gained fame by making breakfast for customers, there are many hotels near her restaurant and so the people who stayed in the hotels went to my mother's restaurant to eat.”
William and the others were curious and Eva told them what breakfast was like in her restaurant and how it still is, after all, they kept making breakfast every day, of course, Eva said that there was also Anna and Julius who made the desserts and was responsible for the loaves.
”Jake, are you ready for today's game?”
”Yes, I have to be, after all, the game is in a few hours.”
”I know that, what I wanted to know is whether you think the opponent is going to be easy or difficult to win?”
”It will be a tough opponent, you also saw the sixth game of the San Antonio Spurs team against the Utah Jazz team, with the Twin Towers Tim Duncan and David Robinson the San Antonio Spurs team has a very strong defense and attack.”
”They had the third-best defense of the season and that is because in the first 20 games of the season they were not performing well and lost 8 games.”
Zack could understand what Jake was saying, he also thought that this would be an easier game because the Los Angeles Lakers team won 2 games out of the 3 games that the two teams faced, but hearing Jake says that he understood that it was more complicated than he thought.
William and Haruto also understood more about basketball after becoming friends with Jake and could understand what Jake was saying, even so, they thought the Los Angeles Lakers team would win that game and that Jake would be the best in the game again.
