Be happy with sports 144 The National High School Championship 1

After a few more days the first national championship game had arrived, Jake woke up early in the morning and went down to eat the breakfast Eva had prepared.

Eva had been worried about Jake in the last few weeks because he had finished her first date, she even got to talk to Anna about it because she did not know what to do.

Anna said it was best to let Jake recover on his own, Eva did this and it looked like Jake was really well again.

Eva felt that it was strange that she had never met this girlfriend of Jake, in fact, Jake would never present Jenny to Eve before he met her parents, after all, he knew his mother well.

If Jake introduced Jenny to his mother, Eva would have quickly stayed close to her and the situation would be much more complicated to finish.

After breakfast Jake got his things and went to the site of the first game when he arrived there everyone had already arrived, Jake realized that his teammates seemed to be more excited for the games than he since almost always they arrived before.

Coach Mike seemed calm today different from the days of training at school, the other players also seemed to be relaxed, Jake looked at the bleachers and saw only Eric of known, but it seemed to have several reporters and university scouts for that game.

After a while the two teams were prepared on the court for the start of the game, the Elite team opponents were the Horses team, and the main player of the team was SG Santiago.

Jake would try to get another Triple Double for today's game, after the first few games Jake thought he had gotten the hang of it, in fact with his steal ability being SS it was just a matter of getting the hang of it.

So the game started and mark went up higher than his opponent and got the ball to the Elite team, Jake received the ball and started the first attack calmly, reaching the three-point line he saw free Harrison passed the ball to him.

Harrison received the ball and can make the mid-range shot to make the first 2 points of the game, so Elite team players quickly returned to the defense.

The PG of the Horses team picked up the ball and started the first attack for his team, reaching the three-point line he looked at his team's attack options, PG knew that all Elite team players were good at attacking and defending.

He saw the free PF and passed the ball to him, Carter who was in the defense pressed and the PF saw that Santiago was free and passed the ball to him, Santiago received the ball and made the shot from outside to make 3 points for the Horses.

Jake received the ball and started another attack for the Elite team, reaching the three-point line Jake saw that Mark was free and passed the ball to him, Mark who received the ball ran and did the layup to make two more points for his team.

And the game continued throughout the first period, the Elite team attacked as always and played well, the team of Horses despite having difficulties to attack could count on Santiago who made more points for the team.

At the end of the first period, the Elite team was ahead by 6 points, Jake had managed 2 steals and 5 assists in that first period besides making 6 points.

David was struggling to defend against Santiago, but Jake thought it normal because Santiago seemed to be a very good player and was probably the reason the Horses team made it to the national championship, maybe even if Carter was defending against him it would not change.

In the second period Jake began to make more individual plays which made things more difficult for the Horses team, the PG Horses team received the ball and started another attack for his team.

Jake realized that the opposing PG seemed to be staying away from him on purpose, so Jake did only 2 steals in the first period, the opponent's PG passed the ball to Santiago again, Santiago could again pass through David, but this time Jake who had read well the ball made the cover to steal the ball.

So Jake advanced calmly to the attack, reaching the line of three points Jake made a feint and the opponent's PG fell, so Jake passing by the opponent and ran to do the dunk and 2 more points for his team.

The PG of the Horses receive the ball and started another attack, before reaching the three-point line he passed the ball to Santiago, Santiago received the ball and made the shot from outside to make 3 points for his team.

Jake received the ball and advanced to the three-point line, he passed the ball to David who requested the ball, David received the ball and also made the shot from outside to make the 3 points.

When the second period ended the Elite team was ahead by 13 points on the scoreboard, Jake had 7 steals and 9 assists, plus 17 points made, as Jake started stealing Santiago's ball whenever he could to help David in defense, to The team of Horses decided to bet more on the shots from outside.

But the team of the Horses only had Santiago to make the points out, already the Elite team had Jake and David to do the shot from outside, so the Elite team's advantage continued to increase.

The Elite team remained strong and finished the third period winning by 18 points, Jake who had already achieved the Triple Double in that game can not relax and continued to play well, so when the game ended the Elite team won with 24 points.

Jake made more than 30 points and 20 assists in that game and ended up being the highlight again, yet the Elite team greeted the Horses team for trying to the end.

Jake saw the Horses team and Santiago remembered a bit of himself at Middle School before joining the Elite team, it was just like Jake had to do his best to win the game.

After the game ended Jake went home to tell Eva about the victory in the game, they celebrated Jake's victory in the game and after dinner, Jake went to rest from that lively day.

After the first game, Jake realized that he had fully recovered from the end of his first date, but Jake decided he would not try to date again at least until he finished high school.

And even after high school at university, he would have to be careful not to date a woman from a wealthier family again, even if Jake knew that not everyone was the same he did not want to risk it again.

Eva realized this and was a bit worried, but Jake was someone who was alone for more than 15 years, now that he had friends, his mother, and goals to follow it was impossible for Jake who had such a strong mind to become depressed.

During the week Jake was called by Emily even though Jake wanted to wait to tell Eva about the restaurant only after the national championship was over did not mean that he could not see how the restaurant had been left ready.

So Jake went with Eva's car to the place where the restaurant would be opened, even if Jake could not afford a car now he would not walk around taxiing there.

When Jake arrived at the site he saw a beautiful building painted a purple and green color, Emily was wearing a suit with a clipboard in her hands, so far she had nothing on the outside saying it was a restaurant.

Jake thought it best that Eva put a sign on the front of the restaurant with the name she chose for the restaurant.

"Hi Emily, is the restaurant ready?"

"Yes, it was all very easy after buying the property, after all the documents you gave me already had all the plan for the renovation and all the things that needed to be bought for the restaurant to work."

"So I was able to find a good company to renovate and then a company that specialized in selling everything that was needed to open a restaurant."

"Let's go inside to see how it was then."

So Jake walked into the restaurant, he could see that it was how he imagined the tables and chairs had already been bought, they had a few carts to deliver the food too, and the renovation was very good.

Now no one could have guessed that this place was destroyed before retirement, Jake could also turn up the reception desk and the cashier's place, then he came in and saw that the toilets for customers and employees were properly separated.

Jake saw that the kitchen was also very good, had all the equipment needed for a kitchen to function, deep down he could see that there were even two offices in the back of the restaurant, so Jake was very pleased with the restaurant after the renovation.

Jake was sure that her mother would also be very pleased with this place when she saw it, it was the way Jake thought of this place any kind of restaurant Eva wanted to open would be a success if the food was good.

"You did a very good job, Emily."

"Thank you very much, I also thought you were very good after retirement, I'm sure your mother will like it here."

"I hope so, I do not care if this place will make a profit or not, it was made just to make my mother happy."
