So he trained normally with his teammates, Jake didn't know how to mingle with them, Jake wasn't like Zack and so just did the training normally, in fact in the middle of the training few spoke to respect the coach.

Only in the warm-up and when they had mid-range and 3-point shooting training, probably in play training or game simulation, they also talked, but at the beginning of the semester, they only had fitness training.

They were in September now and Jake remembered that the first official game was in November, so they had almost 3 months to adjust the team before the first game, Jake knew it was almost impossible for him to be the team owner.

So he had to show that he was able to play as a substitute in the games, his biggest rival in the team for a spot was Ed Cota and Shammond Williams if the coach decided to put him as PG.

Jake knew that Shammond Williams was one of the coach's favorite players and a junior who was in his third year on the team, and Jake knew that Vince Carter should be the starting man in SG position, so Jake had to fight to have 10 minutes of play in that first year.

What Jake didn't know was that thanks to Bill Guthridge who had spoken very well of him, in Coach Smith's view he had the same game opportunity as Ed Cota who was also a Fr, Jake thought he was at a disadvantage because he came from the future and knew what Ed could do.

Even so, he was confident that he could lead the Tar Heels to win the NCAA Tournament, which is why he chose this university, and Ed Cota couldn't do it, even though he was so talented.

The hardest fact was that Ed Cota had an incredible record of having made over 1,000 career assists, even though Jake had the confidence to do the same he thought he couldn't unless he played all four years at university.

Jake had more confidence in the steals record made in university time, only in his triple-double records in high school had he almost broken that record, and that was less than 30 games, with over 100 games he would do much more than that.

At first, Jake wanted to beat all records in-game statistics in his time at university, after a while, he realized that it would be difficult for him to get a place in the team, let alone try to break the records.

Not to mention that for Jake it was much more important to win than to try to break some kind of record, so if he could win the NCAA Tournament he wouldn't mind coming in as a substitute for the games of the season.

After training Jake considered talking to some of his teammates and idols, but the other players seemed to be ignoring him, so Jake realized that his teammates had not yet accepted the special treatment Jake was receiving.

Even if they didn't try to cause any confusion or problems because of the coach's order they could still just ignore him.

So Jake gave up trying to find someone to talk to in the early days when he showed his skills he believed he could receive acceptance from his teammates.

Jake returned to his room again to talk to his friends, his car had already arrived in the city and Jake left the car at the university, but as they only went to nearby places he did not use the car normally.

In the early weeks, Jake was trying to get closer to his friends, because after a few more days he would have to resume his normal training routine when he resumed training he would not have so much time to talk to his friends.

In a few more weeks Jake would have to go to Chicago to run the major marathon again, even though he could no longer gain statistics even if he won the race it was important to try to win out of respect where he won the first marathon.

Even though Jake was overflowing with confidence after winning the marathon at the Olympics he couldn't relax and stop training, the reason Jake became more relaxed was the great system reward he received.

Jake can't check in until a few days after winning the Olympics, but this gold medal had increased all his physical stats by 2 points!

Jake didn't really expect that he could get such an incredible reward, the system said the Olympics were the most important competition for any athlete and far more important than a major marathon, so it was normal that he could get it.

So Jake understood that this was really the case, and after this reward on every unpublished gold medal he could get at the Olympics, he would earn an additional 1 point on each physical stat as a bonus.

This made Jake much more excited and determined to continue his plan to participate in a number of different competitions at the Olympics so that he could get 10 more points from each physical stat in the next competitions.

It also temporarily solved Jake's problem to try to earn more points in the strength stat, the other training would have no effect on Jake after winning in New York.

He was now 36 points in agility and 39 points in Resistance, so Jake who wanted to earn 1 more Resistance point to improve his training could not be happier to have gained 2 more points.

Now he finally had the confidence to increase the intensity of his physical training to improve his marathon race time, after all, he had gained 3 points in Resistance since the last time he failed and ended up with an injury because of it.

Now he has more confidence that he could run 10 km in 29 minutes and 10 seconds, so he could finish a marathon in less than 2 hours and 3 minutes, it might not seem like much of a difference, but that could guarantee Jake the world record for a few years.

If he could do that now he could surely win the next major marathons and earn more Resistance and agility points and further improve his running time.

Even though Jake was thinking of getting a new coach quickly for him this year, it would be difficult for him to get one, after all, he had to improve his basketball skills a lot and secure a starting position on the team.

So he had to show dedication to training and was also planning to get closer to his new friends, next year he was thinking of competing in several major marathons so he could start with a new coach next year.

The other day Jake took classes normally with William and then did his training normally with the basketball team, even though in the trainings they were doing you couldn't know for sure the skills of the players could all see that Jake was very talented.

Jake can also shake off his prejudices and realize that in fact, this college basketball training could improve his slowly improving skills with just the games in the imagination training space.

It was several times higher than his high school training, Jake should have realized that one of the best college basketball teams that had Michael Jordan playing for them should have the best training.

So Jake could train with real enthusiasm knowing that he could improve the rank of his skills, the coaches and players of the team also realized that Jake was training much more willingly than his teammates.

Coach Guthridge was delighted to see that Jake was really the person he was looking for to help the team win again, Coach Dean Smith was also pleased to see that Jake was training hard.

The other players saw the coaches impressed with Jake's performance and also began to train more willingly not to lose to the new player, they did not know that this just made the coaches even more satisfied with Jake who encouraged his teammates.

After training, Jake got a call from Emily informing him that the property he wanted to buy for the company in Silicon Valley in Palo Alto had been bought, and the three he had hired began to develop the technology and product Jake wanted for the patent.

That made him very pleased, Jake was thinking he was lucky to have someone like Emily as his assistant because even though she was an assistant, Emily was the lawyer for Jake, president of his hundred-million-dollar investment firm even his representative sometimes.

He'd been very smart to keep paying Emily in the early years even though he didn't need her much at the time, Jake was also glad Emily had been with him for all these years.

In the next few years, Jake would have to do several things and need her even more, so he decided that he would give Emily 1 percent of the profit the company would make would let Emily stay in the company for many years beyond her very high salary this year.

Of course, it was still far from what big CEOs earn around the world, but at the moment not even Jake gets that much, and the investment firm doesn't produce or sell anything, just invests, so she can make more with 1 by percent after they receive it.

Not to mention that all of the company's investments are driven by Jake and not Emily, so he who has the merit for the shares being valued and the investments multiplying, Emily understood that too, so she didn't mind working as Jake's assistant even now.

Over the next few days the training routines were still the same and Jake was still attending classes and going out with William and Zack every day, sometimes a week Jake would also call his mom to tell her how things were going at university.

It seemed like Jake's life was finally going back to routine and he liked how things were, the only thing he missed was his mother and his friends in Miami, but Jake knew nothing could be done about it.
