Ewing moved away from Shaq and tried a hook shot and ended up missing, Dennis Rodman managed to be quick and catch the rebound for the Los Angeles Lakers team, Dennis held the ball and passed it to Jake who calmed the Lakers team players and started to move slowly for the attack.

The Los Angeles Lakers team managed to further increase the points advantage and Jake thought they did not have to rush to attack, the game remained balanced between the two teams and the second quarter ended.

The Los Angeles Lakers team was playing better in attack and it was more difficult for the New York Knicks team to recover in the game, in the third quarter the game remained the same and the Los Angeles Lakers team continued to win with a good point advantage.

At the end of the game, the Los Angeles Lakers team won the game with 113 points against 87 points of the New York Knicks team, in that game Jake played for 48 minutes and had 32 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds, and 8 steals.

"The game with the Los Angeles Lakers team ends with another victory this season, the attack of the Los Angeles Lakers team in that game managed to win the defense of the New York Knicks team."

"That was expected, the Los Angeles Lakers team has the best attack this season and the New York Knicks team does not have the best defense, a strong attack will always defeat a team with a good defense."

"Of course, if the New York Knicks had a good defense and a good attack they would definitely win that game and would be one of the favorite teams to win this season's NBA title."

"The biggest highlight of the New York Knicks team remains Patrick Ewing who played very well in that game and in addition to getting a double-double with 20 points and 13 rebounds and still defending well against Shaq in that game."

"But the New York Knicks team needs more players like Ewing if they want to win the NBA title, in the Los Angeles Lakers team there are Jake Smith, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O'Neal who are excellent players and so the Lakers team is winning so many games."

"In this game, Rick also played very well and Dennis Rodman helped the team with 12 rebounds, with the Lakers team playing so it was difficult for them to lose this game."

With this victory more, the players of the Los Angeles Lakers team were very happy with this victory, they would have no rest because the next day they would have another game, luckily after the next game the players would have 3 days to rest.

The players went to their house to rest for the next day, Jake went to his house and can rest better as he had not tried so hard in that game, Jake hoped that the game the next day would be easy.

Soon the day of the next game for the Los Angeles Lakers team arrived, after a few hours Jake went to the Great Western Forum which was already starting to fill up again with the fans of the Los Angeles Lakers team who came to accompany the team that was winning many games.

Jake went to the locker room and soon went to almost with the players of the Los Angeles Lakers team who were ready to start the game, in this game coach Rambis plans to replace Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal for a few minutes and that would leave the game more difficult for the Los Angeles Lakers team to win.

The opponent of that game was the Vancouver Grizzlies team, which for now was one of the worst teams this season, even so, Jake did not underestimate the opponent because in his past life the Los Angeles Lakers team lost a game against the Vancouver Grizzlies team.

The Vancouver Grizzlies team had 4 wins and 25 losses in 29 games this season, it was certain that the Vancouver Grizzlies team would not qualify for the playoffs so perhaps the team's strategy would be to lose a few more games to win a better choice in the next draft.

After all, this season the Vancouver Grizzlies team got Mike Bibby who was an excellent player and was helping the Vancouver Grizzlies team to play better, unfortunately, that was not enough to get more victories for the team.

Soon the game started with the Los Angeles Lakers team putting a lot of pressure on the attack, the Vancouver Grizzlies team was bad this season and so even with the Los Angeles Lakers team replacing Kobe and Shaq for a few minutes, the Lakers team was expected to win.

At the end of the first quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers team was winning with a good lead on the scoreboard as expected, the Vancouver Grizzlies team's players were trying to put pressure on the defense, but the Los Angeles Lakers team was stronger.

In this game all the players on the Los Angeles Lakers team were playing very well, Kobe and Shaq were well on the attack even though they were replaced for a few minutes, Dennis Rodman was also helping the team with his rebounds.

Rick was also playing well in this game as well as in the last games, Rick was gaining more confidence with good performances and coach Rambis who was previously dissatisfied with his performance also started to be happier.

In the second quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers continued to press in attack and also in defense and the advantage in points increased even more, in the third quarter, coach Rambis began to replace Shaq and Kobe for longer.

As a result, the Los Angeles Lakers team slowed down the game a bit and even so, they were still attacking a lot as was their style of play, Jake managed to control the pace of the game well and that made things even more difficult for the Vancouver Grizzlies team.

So the game went on like this and in the last quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers team attacked again and further increased the points advantage in the game, at the end of the game the Los Angeles Lakers team won making 131 points against 94 points of the Vancouver Grizzlies team.

With everyone playing well, Jake felt less pressured to work hard on this game, even though the system helped reinforce his body with statistics. Jake still felt tired after so many games and with this week's recording commercials.

In that game Jake had 35 points and 14 assists and got another double-double, Shaq also played well and scored 26 points and Kobe scored 20 points, Rick also played very well and scored 22 points in that game and Dennis Rodman helped the team taking 17 rebounds.

With these victories more the players of the Los Angeles Lakers team were more relaxed to rest in the next days that the Lakers team would not have a game, Jake would not have so much time to rest because the next day he would have to go to record the commercial with the company Gillette.

In addition, Jake had the other day to go to the Premiere of the film The Matrix in Los Angeles on the day of the premiere, in some places the actors have already made a preview, but Jake cannot participate, so in the premiere for the audience, he would participate.

With the participation of Jake in this film that was currently very famous worldwide and with Keanu Reeves who already had fame even before the film The Matrix was released, the public was eager to watch this film.

Warner Bros was happy to advertise more because with the age restriction to watch the film and with the film having more than 2 hours, the producers were afraid that the film would not be such a success or at least take longer to have great success.

The players returned to their home after the game and Jake also arrived at his house, Mary was still awake waiting for Jake and had already prepared a bath for him and prepared dinner.

Jake was happy to have hired Mary as his housekeeper, Mary was really efficient and so Jake hardly needed to talk to the other employees in his house, moreover, with Mary and the other employees Jake didn't feel that much alone when he was home.

Jake took a shower and then ate the food prepared by the maids who had already gone to sleep, after eating Jake went back to the living room and saw that Mary was still waiting for him, Jake knew that if he didn't go back to the living room, Mary would be waiting for some hours.

"Sir, do you need me to do anything else?"

"Thank you, Mary, you can go to rest, I already said that you don't have to wait for me on the days I play."

"This is my job, Sir, I need to do my job properly, good night."

Jake liked Mary's work, but he thought she was very serious, in fact, at first, Jake asked Mary to call him by name, but Mary was offended by this and said she couldn't do it and so Jake didn't insist anymore.

Jake was tired and wanted to sleep early because he had to record the commercial the next day and the players would have training in the next few days, but before going to sleep Jake decided to call his mother.

"Hi, Mom how are you?"

"Hi, Jake, I'm fine, and how are you?"

"I'm fine too, I called to remind you that the premiere of the film I participated in is going to be in two days, I know you really wanted to watch it and I didn't want you to miss it."

"I know that Jake, I even set my date on my calendar to keep in mind, but thanks for reminding me anyway, I will definitely watch the movie, I want to see what you are like as an actor."

"Hahaha, I hope you like it, I will not participate in many scenes because I have a secondary character, but in some fight scenes you will definitely see me, I recorded several scenes and even if the directors cut some scenes I still I will appear."
