Be happy with sports Chapter 360 - College Basketball Season Begins 4

If Jake were really going to join the NBA he would have to talk well with his mother too, Jake would have to move to the city where his team would play and would have to travel all year round in several different cities to play in the season.

So Jake figured Eva wouldn't live in the city where he would live and would continue to take care of the restaurant that was what she always wanted, Jake wanted to see his mother happy and after that first year at university Jake was no longer worried about Eva getting depressed without him around and he also thought his mother was living well without him around.

But there was a possibility that Eva might want to move to live in the same city where Jake lived, Jake could imagine that happening and so he knew he would have to talk to her about it before deciding.

Sometimes Jake also thought of Kate and what she looked like after they met last time, even though he wasn't sure what it was he had to admit that he thought of her whenever he had no concern.

Especially after he knew that in fact, Kate had thought of him too when they were apart, as she had thought of him after meeting only once even Jake understood that she felt something for him.

The truth was, Jake had often thought of looking for Kate to talk to her after the last time they met, but as someone who lived on the internet and smartphones, Jake knew how gossip could end an artist's career.

So he could just hope she really liked him as he thought and call him when she was prepared to deal with the media and the fans if that didn't happen Jake could only regret it.

But after the system said that Kate would actually have died if she didn't know him, Jake always thought that somehow the fate that sent him back in time was helping him to have a good wife that was one of his dreams when he would die in the past life.

Jake was also thinking that he would have to prepare for the next few years in business, maybe he would have to interfere with Amazon to help Jeff Bezos as he approached the 2000s.

Jake also had to prepare the money to make a few more investments in the coming years that could make him even richer if he could, the smartphone project and touch and multi-touch technologies would probably be completed next year.

Jake would then have to fight to get as many patents as he could on this prototype to earn much more in the smartphone era, he would also have to start developing the Android operating system as soon as he could.

He would also have to try to help Matthew prepare to move from one of the world's largest digital camera companies to technology providers for smartphone and notebook companies around the world.

On top of that, he would have to prepare and find the best dates and ways to sell all his and his investment firm's stock before the bubble burst in the stock market, so only he and investors could make the most out of it.

He already had a great company that Emily hired a lot of specialists to buy and sell the stock, these specialists all these years just managed the stock and did almost nothing, but when the time came every year that Jake paid them it would be worth if he could sell all the stock.

It showed how Jake's coming years would be hectic, he would have to work on billions of dollars and be careful not to lose everything while playing basketball and running without neglecting his personal life.

Beyond all this after 2000 or perhaps even earlier, his fortune would surely be revealed and discovered by trade magazines like Forbes, while Jake was clever and used the names of Matthew, Oliver, his mother, and Emily to undiscovered, but after 2000 it will be impossible to hide it.

Once this has happened his already hectic life will be fully exposed in the media and perhaps he will become one of America's best-known people after the movie The Matrix was released.

No one close to Jake knew or even imagined that something like this would be possible in the future, so Jake just wasn't stressed about it all because it was good for him and lately everything was working out in his life.

He was even excited for all this to happen because it would be proof that everything was going the way he wanted in his past life, even if he didn't join the NBA next year he sure could in the next few years.

After a few more days of training came the day of the next game for the Tar Heels team, this was the first game they considered really difficult, in the last game everyone expected a difficult challenge, but the opponent did not make a good game.

But the team they would face in this game was the UCLA team that was one of the biggest winners of the NCAA tournament, so it was a team always respected by all College basketball teams.

So Coach Guthridge prepared more and the players trained more willingly this week, Jake knew that in his past life the Tar Heels team would win this game easily, but not even he relaxed in training and was also nervous about this game.

Another thing that bothered players was that in the next 3 games they would play in a different 4-quarters format than they were used to, 4 quarters of 10 minutes each.

Jake hoped to play the best he could as well as the other players, after several games last season Jake had more confidence from coach Guthridge and therefore suggested that in this next game Shammond Williams would not play and coach put Makhtar N'Diaye to play.

Jake remembered that Williams would not be playing well in this game and Makhtar N'Diaye would be very well, Coach Guthridge thought it was because the UCLA team had an excellent Center that was Jelani McCoy and so agreed.

Jake didn't correct the coach because he got what he wanted because Jelani McCoy wouldn't even be playing this game, after a couple of hours both teams were ready for this game, both teams had to travel to this game so the fans were the same for both sides.

"Today we will follow another game that promises to be exciting between these two teams, the UCLA team is the biggest winner of the NCAA tournament and has a glorious history."

"The Tar Heels team also has a great history, but it is only after coach Dean Smith has been in charge of the team for many years that the titles have come in recent years, and it is one of the best teams today."

"That's right, the UCLA team has a big draw in this game because this is just their first game this season and the Tar Heels team already comes from 3 wins and gets more confident in that game."

"In addition, the Tar Heels team has Jake Smith who has always been performing well since he started playing and is currently the best college player."

The game started with both teams studying and being careful, Jake controlled the pace of the game and did not let the opposing PG attack when he was in defense, with N'Diaye playing as Center the team defense was much more stable.

From the history of the UCLA team, the Tar Heels team players were being careful in attack and putting a lot of effort into defense, as a result of this first quarter, the Tar Heels team got a slight advantage after Jake made a steal and the team got some offensive rebounds and Defensive.

Jake was still studying the pace of the game and so only made a three-point move and was making more plays with mid-range shots and layups, he was also counting on Jamison and Carter who were playing very well and thus making more assists.

By the end of the first quarter, the Tar Heels team was winning by a 7-point lead, which left the players excited to play even better in the second quarter to try to secure a win in the first half of the game.

"Great first time for the Tar Heels team, in a tough game like this with the two teams balanced the defense of the Tar Heels team that decided to put N'Diaye in Williams position got a lot better and that was what guaranteed this 7 point advantage to the Tar Heels team."

"Jamison and Carter were also playing well in this game and Jake seemed to be studying his opponents more, so in this second quarter when he starts trying more three-point plays we will see how the UCLA team will react."

In that first quarter, Jake had played for 10 minutes and had only scored 7 points, with 3 assists, 1 rebound, and 2 steals, which is what he always did in the first 10 minutes of his college time, at least against opponents who he found it more difficult.

In the second quarter the team Tar Heels was excited about the advantage and thus attacked much more so the players could see the fragility of the UCLA defense in this game in a few minutes with Jake scoring 6 points and an assist, the defense of the team Tar Heels was also able to nullify part of the attacks of the opposing team.

This gave more confidence to the Tar Heels team who attacked harder and put more pressure on the defense, so by the end of the second quarter the Tar Heels team was already winning by 31 points and that was only the first half of the game.

Jake played for another 10 minutes in this second quarter and can score 16 points, 2 assists, 2 rebounds, and 3 steals, Jake took advantage of the space he got in the attack and landed 4 shots of three points in this second quarter.
