Chapter 101 End of a Time 3
As Jake thought when Eva saw that Jake had bought a gift a car, she was thinking about how to get Jake back.
But in this situation in front of several people and after such a special day Eva does not dare to do this, in addition, they really needed a good car to be able to go to places farther away without having to be stuck having to choose schedules with public transport.
So Eva accepted the last gift from her son, Jake was very happy about it, the party with several people was really the right way to give a gift to your mother.
It was harder for Jake with a good son to realize that this was his mother"s way, over the years if Jake made more money he was sure Eva would get used to the presents.
After that, the months pa.s.sed and Jake"s Middle School time was over, Jake had the best grades in the room as usual, but Joseph had more difficulty as the Elite school had a more advanced level and so he was in the top 10 first.
Joseph who had the second-best grade in his last school was very bad, then Jake managed to console his friend that although his place in the cla.s.s had fallen he was learning much more now.
Jake had nothing special to do and so he just took the time to go out with his mother and Joseph, he also had more time to train and enjoyed every minute of it.
As Jake had already reached a very good level of statistics and his basic basketball skills he had only to continue to strive because now every statistic point and every skill rank that could increase before reaching college was important.
Although Jake was very confident that he could be in the NBA in the future without training none of this was possible if he played in high school with his current skills he would have a hard time against the best players, let alone the pros.
The companies of Tiffany and Clara also now that they had a great investment and increased their sales and their companies generally had to adapt to the growth, thus they were not thinking about making new advertis.e.m.e.nts for the time being.
Eric also told Jake the other day that he had gained a lot of prestige in the paper, so this year he was chosen to cover the Olympics and then went to cover some NBA games but would again cover Jake"s games someday.
So along with the end of Jake Middle School, many people close to him also had great changes in their lives, he was happy because all these changes were good and were progress for the people who were around him.
He himself was progressing so much every day, he would soon begin a new phase in his life, he was prepared for these new challenges he would face in high school, and Jake had his friend Joseph to accompany him on his school days and his mother to give support at home.
Along with his new stats after the national champions.h.i.+p final, Jake felt that he too had met the requirements needed to try to train his new move as well as be able to use more of his pa.s.s movement in the games.
Although the pa.s.s move was something to be used more in the games and be an unpredictable move, in the final it could be a good opportunity to use this to fool the Foxes defense was not possible because his teammates did not perform well.
Just as he had thought before, a good move for him to create had to be a dribble move, and the name of this new move he perfected on vacation was .
This Ghost move was a movement that Jake would move the ball in a way that the opponent would not know where the ball was for a moment and so Jake would pa.s.s through it, Jake had already thought about this move a long time, but it was difficult to get the ball stay out of the opponent"s field of vision and move without committing an irregularity on the court.
After all, to get the ball out of the opponent"s field of vision for a moment Jake could not obviously bounce her normally on the court, so it had to be a quick move, and in that move, it would look like a ghost ball to his opponent, so Ghost moves.
Also, this was a move that could not be used many times so that the opponent does not get used to it, the system said that the move was good and valid, but Jake did not win the statistics points yet.
A few more weeks pa.s.sed and now it was the last week before high school began, as it was the same school with just the different building Jake did not have to worry about researching the school site.
Eva had already taken her uniform and also the books that would be used and also the cla.s.s schedules, Jake spoke with Joseph who now looked like another person, influenced by Jake, he also began to run and now he was thin and was not the fatter of 3 years ago.
As Jake once said if Joseph took off his gla.s.ses he would be completely unrecognizable, that was another reason that Oliver and Matthew liked Jake so much, after all, he had been a great influence for Joseph.
...
In another home also preparing for the start of the school year was the coach of the high school basketball team who was very pleased since he had won the national high school champions.h.i.+p last year.
He did it with the best team he could muster by calling on young people from all over the country, what was better was that these youngsters were still 2 years old to graduate last year, that is to say, he had the same champion team only more mature It"s better this year too.
I could tell that he had already won the national champions.h.i.+p this year too, the school was very pleased with him too, he just came to this school because his wife worked here and he too received a great salary.
Also, thanks to him asking some favors for some of his friends, the Elite school did not know that he had had a problem hitting a student before, he himself thought it absurd to be fired since the student he hit was an adult and not a child.
But there was nothing he could do now, in this new school however with they were all young, no one dared to disrespect his authority, so he did not think there would be any problem.
In front of him were the files of the youngsters who had been the champions in the national champions.h.i.+p last year and would now join his team, he had really liked that, especially from Jake who had been the MVP of the national champions.h.i.+p as well.
These players had no chance to play this year on the main team, but in the future, they could bring another national champions.h.i.+p trophy at high school as well.
His wife sitting next to him also looked at Jake"s file in her husband"s hand, she was one of the teachers who took Jake"s hat for no great reason, that year Jake would be going to high school and would not be in her cla.s.s.
But she could not bear to see that Jake would go through everything he did without any little punishment, so knowing the personality of her husband she had an idea.
"Honey, are these the players that will join your team this year?"
"Yes you"re right, these were the youngsters who won the national champions.h.i.+p last year, why?"
"One of those players was my student and I think he can cause problems for you."
"Why was he a bad student? That did not really matter to me, he was the best player on the team at Middle School."
"No, he was the best student in my cla.s.s that was not the problem, the problem was that he was so smart that he did not mind paying attention in cla.s.s and was reading other books, that was even the reason that several professors complained about him like me."
"I understand my love I know how proud you are and all the other teachers are too, but for coaches players like Jake are geniuses."
"I know, but the director"s reason for not punis.h.i.+ng Jake was that his grades were good and that the basketball team needed him, and as he was the best player on the Middle School team I heard that sometimes he did not hear the coach and in some games he used his position as captain to lead the team by himself."
When he heard this the coach heard this he did not like, he knew that although his wife was exaggerating a little because he did not like Jake, something she said should be true, in addition, in the card he had in hand that Jake was really the captain and a leading person.
This was something he did not like, no matter how good the players on the court were, one thing everyone had to figure out was that whoever was on the team was him.
So he took another look at Jake"s record, he was no longer very pleased to have such a good player on his team, he was more into having players with great potential and training them for a few years.
So when these players won they would say that it was all thanks to him, but hearing what happened in the cla.s.sroom, this Jake did not respect his teachers so much.
