In the third period, the Elite team came back to dominate with good moves from Jake and the strong defense of the whole team, Coach Mike was pleased with what he saw and thought this was the best team to play this national championship.

If it wasn't for David and Harrison's high school senior year Coach Mike would have replaced them after all the two new players were playing much better, especially in defense and now they had achieved the perfect match with the rest of the team.

Not to mention that Nathan and Lucas would surely be the leaders of the Elite team next year, putting them in important games to improve and gain experience was the best he could do.

By the end of the third period, the Elite team was winning by 18 points, and because the opposing team played well and demanded that everyone on the Elite team play as well as they could, Mark also excelled playing well in defense and making the attacks without failing when necessary.

Not to mention that he had 13 rebounds at the end of this third period being one of the most important players to secure this advantage in this tough game, Jake has scored 14 points over that period and has had 28 points throughout the game so far.

Unlike the other teams that played in this national championship before against the Elite team, in this third game, the opponents did not want to give up the game, so Jake and the other players did their best and guaranteed the victory of the Elite team.

So at the end of the fourth period, the Elite team won 30 points more than their opponents, Jake finished the game with 44 points, 17 assists and 7 steals, his best game in this national championship, after all, he managed to perform well against a most difficult opponent team.

After the game Jake chatted a little with his teammates and then left home, David was the only one who was not happy after this game because he would probably miss the chance to play in the starting team after this game.

But no one could comfort David because Nathan, who had got the job, was also friends and teammates, everyone knew that only the best could play in the starting lineup and all were teammates.

Overnight he talked to his mother after telling him that he had won the game, Eva was happy for her son and was no longer so nervous about games beyond the final game because she couldn't even imagine Jake talking about losing after so many years.

After all even though Jake had stopped playing for 2 years it was still amazing to think that it was 5 years since Jake had known what a defeat in basketball was, of course, Jake University games could experience more losses and in the NBA he would surely lose a lot of games.

But at high school at least he still didn't know what it was to lose a game, this might be Jake's most impressive record of making multiple doubles or scoring over 100 points in two games.

During the night after showering and getting ready for bed, Jake found himself thinking again about how things had worked out again in his life, so he wanted to see how he had improved after so long.

"Fate, I'd like to see my Basketball Stats window."

Jake was surprised to learn that in the physical he had improved a lot unknowingly, he hoped that after 16 years he could not change much, but was surprised to see that he had grown to 1.93 m in a short time he increased 4 cm in height.

Of course Jake knew it was because of the system tuning, after all, he had grown so much taller than in his past life, now he didn't know if he could increase his height even more than now, after all, he couldn't control the system.

At least he knew that the system did only what was best for him, and Jake had realized that the muscles in his body had increased a lot and were stronger, so his weight had increased too, this should be done by the system, so people wouldn't suspect Jake's abnormal strength with a thin body.

After all, no matter how much he ate or exercised, his weight and body did not change at all, his statistics had also increased by one each, while his growth would stop, his statistics would not increase as easily.

Already his basketball skills had improved almost nothing after all this time, only the skills with the lowest rank had improved, and Jake was training every day in his imagination training space.

"Fate, could you explain to me what happened?"

[I will explain everything until I am 19 years old your body will still be growing, circumstances that not even I control well must be met for your body to change anyway in the following years.]

[But just as you said, no change should hurt you, the higher you should do better on some skills you have more difficulty now and also with your more muscular body reduces the risk of injury and does not hinder your agility.]

[Your stats have kept growing at this time if you keep exercising, lately, you have been putting it a little aside thinking that it doesn't help at all, but if you push yourself as before it might still work.]

[As for your skills not improving much, partly as I had warned you before, as the college level of basketball is very close to the pro it's much harder to raise ranks, but each improvement makes a lot of difference.]

[Also, since you had a psychological problem this obviously affected your skill development as well, so much of the time training you had had that problem was to no avail.]

"I'm healed now, aren't I?"

[Yes, you are healed, your problem was nothing serious, to begin with, but as you were under a lot of stress due to all the responsibilities you have taken longer to recover even with my help, thankfully it was right at the beginning of your vacation and didn't affect you that much.]

"You said my skills training had been impaired due to my psychological problem, but before you didn't say no injuries would disturb my imagination training space?"

[I said no physical injury could disrupt your training, but your problem was mental, so it affected it even more, and I didn't expect you to ignore me and have an injury in life, so it's your fault.]

Jake was embarrassed to hear this after all the system had always warned the moment before he was injured, but this time Jake ignored the system warning and went for the injury, Jake's mental problem was even rarer to happen and probably would not happen again.

So Jake took advantage of the fact that he was talking to the system now and decided to see how he had progressed in his other jobs as well, the second particular employer was what Jake least looked at as having no rank-enhancing or statistical skills that Jake found useful.

"Fate, show me the statistics window for my third job too."

Techniques

[Second Lung B]

[Iron Body B]

---------------------------------

The physical statistics were the same as his first job, but both techniques were what Jake was most interested in, he was delighted to see that his Second Lung technique had improved further, after all not even 8 months from the last time he had seen an improvement.

If Jake had won a major marathon and received a reward he would not have been so surprised, but he won only the Olympic qualifiers and came second in New York last year, and his race time had not improved.

"Fate, because my Second Lung technique has improved in recent months."

[Improved because of the marathons you ran, of course, competing has always been the best way to improve and gain experience ever, and even though your skills haven't improved much because of your psychological problem, you still came second in a marathon major and won the Olympic classification marathon so you improved even without the rewards.]

Thinking about it was not so strange that he had improved after having great results in two marathons in which he competed with the best in the world, now Jake was even more certain that he could improve even better if he won the Olympics.

"Fate, show me my second job statistics window too."

Jake was not surprised by his statistics getting much better in his second job, after a long time he had not looked, and the system had said that other statistics also interfered with other jobs, so it was normal for Jake to improve.

Even more, than Jake had gotten great deals in recent years and could make billions of dollars in a few years and tens of billions in more than 20 years, it shows that Jake has been doing well and improving his negotiating skills as well as leveraging his knowledge of the future.

Jake was glad that his policy and leadership statistics increased, after all, he studied a lot about trade policy after receiving this statistic and many companies he worked for were important to the country's national policy.

His leadership stat must have increased after having several negotiations where he had to lead conversations and also what he went through on the basketball team and his challenge with the football team where he led a team to victory without knowing his Teammates completely.
