After a day of rest Jake returned to full strength training, the days went by and everyone on the team was much more confident of the possibility of victory with Jake playing better and better in training in the Center position.

Nathan clearly had completely recovered and was even better than before the last game, he was young but always had a stronger mindset than another of the same age is natural that he did not feel guilty for an accident that no one expected.

In addition, he wanted to pay off the confidence that Coach Mike and his teammates put in himself by having played badly in the latter part of the last game, he would show that he was trustworthy and would help the team win at this difficult time with injured Mark.

Lucas and David were also training full force for the final game, David wanted to do his best in his last high school game and be champion once again, and Lucas wanted to experience the feeling of being a national champion for the first time in high school He knew it would be much harder next year without Jake on the team.

Carter seemed the least affected by all this, he didn't have much hope of continuing to play at university with his limited talent, so he would try his best as he always did in the final game.

Harrison was also training hard hoping to have a chance to play in the last game of the national championship, he knew this was no time to play position after what happened to Mark, but he thought he had more chance to play in the final instead of playing David or Lucas.

Tiffany and Clara said they would go to Jake's high school final game, Alan and John would also go, Matthew, Oliver, and Joseph would also go to the game, Eric also wanted to see Jake's last high school game.

Mark would see if his team would be champions again, after all, he would also win a medal if that happened and Eva and Lola would go too, everyone Jake knew would go to this game if they were available.

So a few more days passed and it was already the night before the game, Jake had dinner with his mother and now was lying thinking a little before bed, even he was anxious before such an important game.

Jake found himself thinking about everything that happened in his school time that was ending now, he went back to the past at the age of 10 so it's been almost 7 years since he came back.

Many would think it would be better to go back in time at an older age and not have to go through childhood again, but Jake didn't think so, after all, he did so many things this year that could only be resolved with a long time.

If he had gone back to the past he would have missed the opportunity to have friends and help Matthew's company and more importantly he would have let his mother suffer working at that restaurant longer, now she had a restaurant of her own and was much happier.

Not to mention that Jake would have lost his precious training time to play better basketball and even have a chance to excel in other sports, and he would have missed out on a lot of money-makings and getting rich in the future.

Thinking about it all Jake was just grateful to the system for giving him a great chance to improve his life all this time, in those early years he was putting his life on the right track and preparing for the future, now he could really start living fully.

Jake also thought about the time he spent devoting himself to basketball and how he changed the way he saw the sport several times over the years, at first he thought he didn't need a team to get good at basketball and go to the NBA that was always his own Goal and dream.

Then he joined a weak basketball team just to train some system skills that needed him to play with other people, then he realized that his ability alone could not lead to the team victory and decided to join a better team.

So he learned the joy of winning and struggling with his teammates, then he learned the importance of tactics and teamwork in basketball to win, for a while he stayed out of basketball because the coach didn't like him.

Now he was trying the second trophy of the national championship after returning to the team, he could not help thinking that he was very excited for a life of only 7 years, for all that he went through he had to give the best in the next game and win.

After thinking and reinforcing the determination to win Jake was finally getting tired and close to falling asleep when the system decided to talk to him at that time.

[Jake, I have a council to give you at tomorrow's game.]

"Advice? Which is?"

[I don't know if just talking like that will help you understand what I'm trying to say, but tomorrow I feel that if you don't play the best you have you can lose, and this defeat could become a regret in your future as a player.]

Jake didn't know what kind of advice the system had for him, but he knew well that the system could predict the future related to him, just as if the system said that if Jake didn't change the team would surely lose.

[You are certainly able to play in the same position as Mark in this game, and I have to say that you can be even better than your teammate, the system you have makes everything you think possible come true with much effort.]

[And yourself with your talent and having the system trained harder and harder than anyone in those years, so it's impossible that you're not as good as you are now in every position.]

[What's happening is that you're holding on so much these past few years, you never play your best so as not to outshine your teammates, even when you scored over 100 points you haven't tried your best.]

[But in tomorrow's game you have to give it your all, don't care about anyone and just play your best, your team is not complete and they will feel insecure without Mark on the team, so you have to play well enough for your teammates are up to you.]

[The opponents of tomorrow's game are strong if you don't do what I'm telling you you will lose, just do your best and try everything you can to score and defend successfully, don't forget that you is able to beat opponents better than you in the space of imagination training.]

Jake understood everything the system said, but since the system had said not even he knew what the problem was, it was the same when he had the psychological problem, he understood that he had set a limit on himself, but didn't know how to get that limit.

But he would really try everything tomorrow if he couldn't, he wouldn't regret it at least after that Jake ended up sleeping after relaxing.

So the day of the final game of the national championship had finally arrived, it had been a long and stressful week for all Elite players, even if they trusted Jake they could not help worrying about the next game.

Especially the younger ones who had never personally seen Jake playing at their best, they didn't know that if Jake struggled he could lead the team to victory in almost every situation, for them it was a difficult situation.

The opposing team was just the opposite, they were more confident than ever that they could win this game, even before they were not afraid of the Elite team, now they spent the whole week thinking of moves to win more easily.

The difference between the moods of the two teams was completely opposite, coach Mike was concerned that with low morale they would lose this game of the final which would be terrible for him.

Jake woke up very early and went down to eat breakfast that was prepared by his mother, as it was a late Eva had done a basketball and she and Jake ate a lot and have not even finished a portion of the prepared food.

"I think you made a mistake, Mom, we're home and not in the restaurant for you to make breakfast so much Hahaha."

"You always say I prepare a lot more after the game you end up eating everything, we'll eat later, don't worry."

"Not really this time around, I don't think if I call the whole basketball team here they can eat it all today."

"That's a good idea when you win the game you can come here and eat it all to celebrate another title."

"We'll have to win first to think about coming here to celebrate."

"Aren't you confident, son?"

"Until yesterday I was, but my friend of mine said I had a bad premonition about this game, so I was worried."

"These premonition things don't exist, trust yourself that you'll win."

Jake just smiled and said nothing about it, if it wasn't for the system who had said it he wouldn't have believed it either, but after this amazing thing happened to him and back in the past Jake didn't doubt anything else existed.

So Jake packed things up and then went to the game site with Eva, he was much more confident of winning with his mom watching the game again, plus he knew there would be several people in the stands who came to cheer for him.

This time Jake arrived early and was one of the first to arrive, he did the warm-up exercises and watched his teammates and the opponents that would play in this game, it was the first time he saw a situation where his team was the discouraged and opponents who were confident of victory.

Mark who was in the stands also saw this and was very worried about it, only Jake seemed calmer, but Mark who knew him well realized that Jake was much more serious than usual and seemed nervous too if even Jake who was always confident I was nervous the game would be really hard.

After all Elite team players arrived and warmed up Jake decided to act as captain and talk to his teammates before the game.
