Chapter 302 Using a Coach as an Assistant 8

Jake was happy with his performance on the basketball team Tar Heels, he was known as one of the best college basketball players and the best freshman of the year, was likely until he could win this year’s awards.

But he was also unhappy because of his year as a marathon runner, this is a pivotal year for Jake in basketball, it was his first year on the Tar Heels team and even as he started the games he didn’t know if he had the confidence of Coach Smith.

So he predicted that he would have to miss a few races this year to get the coach’s approval, so on February 1st he missed the first marathon he intended to participate in the year.

It was the Tokyo marathon, the truth was that although the system had given a reward to every major marathon that Jake won the concept of major marathon at that time was still different from the future, these marathons were not yet recognized by the athletic association and did not give Special rewards.

So much so that the Tokyo Marathon, for example, did not have the same format it would have 10 years later, yet Jake knew that if he won he could achieve both statistics points in stamina and agility.

But this marathon was the same day as Team Tar Heels against Team Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders a week ago, so it was impossible that Jake could lose the game to run this marathon.

Whether it was a day earlier or a day later he could get a permit from Coach Smith, but the same day was impossible, luckily Jake was an American runner who never ran out of the country so no one could know he intended to run earlier this year.

So Jake didn’t know if he could race in Boston or London, maybe after the NCAA tournament final was over he had a chance to race in those marathons, but if it was like Tokyo he would have to lose.

So he would have to postpone until next year his plan to win all 6 major marathons, which might take a few more years, luckily Jake was still young and had many years to try these races.

After just a day of rest and training, the next Tar Heels game came, it was another home game with a winning streak, so the Tar Heels team was confident of victory.

Fans were also excited about this game and even came early to watch, Jake’s friends also came to watch all of Jake’s games to support his roommate.

William was improving his grades and getting investment advice from Jake, meanwhile, Aaron was hoping his leg would fully recover, it was much better now and he might even run, but it would take a while for him to play again.

Both teams prepared and were ready to start the game, the opponent in today’s game was team Virginia Cavaliers, in the last game team Tar Heels could win easily, yet it was an opponent that Jake was careful to have beaten the team Tar Heels from what Jake remembered in his past life.

Only Jake was more careful in this game and his teammates were more relaxed, even Coach Smith who was pleased with the team’s performance just talked about the game strategy and didn’t ask for any special care.

What the coach used to cheer up the team was that they had a 9-win streak just like at the beginning of the season before they lost to the Wake Forest team, so the coach wanted the team to increase that streak to 10 games.

No one wants to lose again, especially when the team could outperform their best performance of the year, only Jake didn’t get excited about Coach Smith’s speech and focused on playing well.

Jake would again start playing and the Virginia Cavaliers team was prepared to defend against Jake especially, after all in the first game he was the main cause of the team’s defeat in that game.

In the first half, Jake not only struggled to play for the team as in the last games and made more individual plays as well, so the team Virginia Cavaliers did not know how to defend against Jake.

It was hard to find a team that could stop the attack of the Tar Heels team that had Jake, Carter, and Jamison to make the offensive moves, the three of them were players who could do all sorts of attacks and combinations of moves together.

In that first half, Tar Heels took the lead easily and Jake played for 17 minutes and managed to make 15 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds, and 2 steals, it was a good first time for him as in the last games.

In the second half, team Tar Heels continued to dominate the game and Team Virginia Cavaliers was having difficulty defending, after what happened in the game against Team Duke they no longer relaxed until the end of the game.

Jake played for 17 minutes in the second half and scored 16 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals, so he got another double-double in this game and the Tar Heels team secured another win easily.

After getting used to the whole team’s style of play Jake can play more easily and a few games in a row had always managed to make at least one double-double, yet Jamison and Carter have also been having good games.

Some games are Jamison and others are Carter which performs well, besides them Williams who has been playing for a few minutes in place of Carter and Okulaja has also been performing well in many games.

Defensively Zwikker and Okulaja have also played well and even in offense they have an important performance in Coach Smith’s playing strategies, with the whole team playing well they have been increasingly considered among the favorites to win the NCAA tournament.

Even from the university and coach background that often make a difference in the toughest games, Jake has always been shown a special performance for a freshman player.

He has been playing so well that even the fact that he is the only sponsored player has been overlooked by reporters and the media at large, even his marathon victories and world record are coming second in comparison to his performance at the University.

It is also mentioned that Jake had a smart choice to choose to play at university rather than directly to the NBA since if he entered the NBA directly from high school he would most likely stay at least two years in reserve before having a chance to play.

Unless he joined a low-level team, but then his chances of winning an NBA title would be very low for a few years, so after staying for a few years and showing what he can at university he could even play as a starter since your first year.

That was just what Jake thought, of course, the main reason for him to go to college was to fulfill his mother’s dream and graduate from some degree, so he could also have a college background and gain more visibility.

Tar Heels won this match 89 points against 56 points of Virginia Cavaliers team, this was the tenth consecutive victory of the team and would probably continue without losing, the crowd was even happier.

Tar Heels’ next match would be as a visitor so they could not watch the games at the Dean Smith Center for some time now, yet they expected the team to continue winning in the away games.

In the next few days, players would have a few more days to rest before the next Regular Season game, they wouldn’t really rest as they would still have the training, but training was much less tiring for players than games that had a lot of pressure.

Jake more than anyone would have no time to rest, on the day of this match against team Virginia Cavaliers Coach Davis had already received the results of Jake’s clinical examinations, so he can see that, of course, Jake was in perfect health.

He had no muscle problems, no blood, bone, or any part of his body, his training also left no injuries hidden, even the one Jake had a few years ago had been completely recovered.

Seeing this Coach Davis found it impressive and was even happier, he finally had an athlete who was very talented, willing to train and was physically very strong too, so Coach Davis was convinced that Jake’s current training could do no harm.

Jake naturally knew and expected these results, after all, he had the system that always took care of his body and strengthened his body every time he gained new statistics, otherwise, Jake would have injured himself several times as a child and had no developed body and tried to exercise heavy.

Knowing this Coach Davis was pleased and knew that he could create a suitable training plan for Jake, so the day Jake played Coach Davis spent the whole night creating a training plan for Jake to start the next day.

So the next morning Coach Davis woke up early and went to the place where Jake and Zack always trained, Jake had finished warming up and started running when Coach Davis arrived.

Seeing that Jake had started training Coach Davis decided to wait for Jake to finish his race before talking to him about the new training plan he had made, after all, it would have to be approved by Jake before they started.
