《Be happy with sports 》Chapter 296: Using a Coach as an Assistant 2
Advertisement
After a few days Tiffany had not yet appeared at the university and Jake concentrated only on training, on the 18th the Tar Heels team soon had another home game, this was a game that inevitably the whole team was relaxed and even Coach Smith it was like this.
After a few hours, both teams were ready to start the game, Jake would be starting the game again and the opponent was the Georgia Tech Yellow team which this season was with an especially bad team.
They were having a rough season, and from what Jake remembered it would be a bad season for the team, another thing Jake paid attention to was that it could be his reality if he didn't decide to join the UNC that had the Tar Heels team.
This team had Matt Harpring who was an NBA player and a skilled SF, he is a good player and has had good seasons in the team, but the whole team is weak and his individual ability can't make much difference.
If Jake had gone to another university with a weaker team thinking of being the absolute leader of the team something like that could happen to him, so he chose a university with a stronger team even if he had to stay in reserve.
Even though the opponent for this game was weaker Jake still didn't relax and was careless and focused on the game, so the team ended up getting a little more excited seeing Jake trying his best.
Jake can play for 17 minutes in this first half, he scored 24 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals, with a good first half Jake can lead the team to an absolute lead on the scoreboard.
The team cheered on Jake's performance and even the players who started as a reserve played better, only Jamison was having a harder time with Harpring in defense on his side.
In the second half Jake continued playing in the game that could be his best offensive performance, Coach Smith approved the team playing as well and decided to just let the players play as they would like the team to win.
In the second half Jake played for another 17 minutes and can make 27 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, and 4 steals, thus leading the whole team in a good performance, Carter can also make 16 points, Jamison scored 13 points and Zwikker 9 points.
At the end of the game Jake ended up with a double-double of incredible 51 points with 11 assists, plus 8 rebounds and 7 steals, the Tar Heels team ended up winning the game by 112 points against just 42 points from the Georgia Tech Yellow team.

That was the second game in the year that the team scored the most, but the amazing thing was that it was almost 40 points more than this game had in Jake's past life, Jake can hit 9 three-point shots in just 12 attempts in the game.
Jake had always had a great hit rate this season so far, an average of more than 63 for sure on his three-point attempts, in 15 games of the season Jake had made 53 right-score plays making 124 points in less than one-third of the season.
When Coach Smith and the commentators thought of this hit rate they found it incredible, especially since Jake had an average of less than 6 three-point attempts per game, which showed what Jake said only trying when he was sure he could hit.
And it couldn't be said that Jake had such a high hit rate because he tried fewer shots because if he keeps that average he can even break the record for most points made with three-point shots this season.
After all Jake had a current average of a few minutes per game for spending the beginning of the season in reserve, so if he continues to play for 32 minutes every game he can make even more three-point plays.
Also, this was the game where Jake scored the most points this season, he took advantage of the team's good momentum and his opponent's weakness to have a game as he did in his high school days.
After a few days, Jake took advantage of the good phase of the team and in which he himself was facing another tough game against the Florida State Seminoles team, this was a game against the team that had beaten the Tar Heels team in Jake's past life.
The Florida State Seminoles team was having a good season and had a well-balanced team with two future NBA players, plus it was the university team where Jake was considering studying in his past life.
Of course, he didn't plan on playing basketball there and just went to study, so they weren't good memories of what happened, nor was it the only university he thought of studying in his past life as there were others in Florida, but it was most likely for him.
Jake knew that Coach Guthridge had confidence in him again for what happened in the last games and also that the team could have even lost all three games just as Jake had said, so he told the coach that he thought they had to be careful to Don't miss this game.
This time was different from the last time and Jake was already starting at the games, so Coach Guthridge understood that Jake was giving a warning to the coach to remind the team to be careful, after all, he was not the high school captain.

In the days before training Coach Smith said the Florida State Seminoles team was a dangerous opponent and it was better than the players were careful, so Jake knew that Coach Smith had been careful.
On game day the team was again focused and focused on the game, so in the first half even having a difficult game they managed to dominate the opponent, Jake played for 17 minutes and scored 16 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, and 5 steals.
The first half was not easy for the Tar Heels team and the Florida State Seminoles attack was very strong in this game, luckily the players were focused and Jake had a great defensive performance for the team to take the lead.
In the second half, the game remained difficult, but the Tar Heels team gradually gained control of the game with a good advantage which diminished the spirits of the Florida State Seminoles team, so they got the victory.
Team Tar Heels scored 89 points against 84 from Florida State Seminoles, Jake played for 16 minutes in the second half and made 14 points, 3 assists, 4 rebounds, and 6 steals, he focused more on defense and developing plays.
So much so that in 6 steals he made in the game in which he managed to keep possession he only scored points in one of those plays and assists in another two plays, 3 of the plays in which he caught the steal he did not participate directly in the play.
In this game, Jake also played an important role and was instrumental in winning even though not scoring as many points as in the last game, Jake showed all his versatility in these two games by scoring many points in one and being critical in defense in the other.
Jake was the name of the game not only for the points as well as the 30 points and 11 steals double-double, Jake knew that he had changed the outcome of the game he knew in his past life again, so he was very happy about it.
In the next few days the Tar Heels players would have a little more days between games and a little more rest, Tiffany seems to have figured that out and appeared the next day of the Tar Heels game against Florida State Seminoles.
Jake already knew the city better after spending a lot of time with Zack and can recommend some restaurants for them to eat, Jake knew naturally that Tiffany had not come to thank him for buying Robert's stock, but it should be something important for her to come from Miami
"Hi Tiffany, I didn't expect to see you anytime soon, and more here at the university."
"You talk like you don't want to see me."
"You know that's not it, so what's the reason you came here."
"Alright, you're right, but I also came to thank you for helping Clara buy those stocks, so you helped me too as my company can't grow in the last two years."
"I came here too because finally, I could find someone to be your coach after so long, I've been looking a lot these past few months, but you asked me several times to stop looking because you were busy and it took too long."
"That's right, actually right now I don't have time to commit to athletics training, on several days I can't even do my daily training for running marathons on game days."
"I understand you are saying that you don't have time to commit to training and coaches usually seek commitment and results from their athletes."
"That's right, so I guess now is not the best time for me."
"That's why I said it was good news, you asked for a coach who had experience in various modalities of athletics and only knew the specific training of each sport, and the coach would have to have a description to not tell his secrets right?"
"Yes, that's more or less what I asked for."
"The truth is that when you asked me to stop looking I had already found several candidates to be your coach after you won the Olympics and broke the world record, so I just decided to look further for a coach who could fit your tight schedule."
"Luckily I found a coach who has all the requirements you are looking for and you shouldn't mind much even if you delay your training or even do your training."
When Jake heard this he was surprised, being a champion he could have one of the best coaches if he wanted to, but he didn't demand it because he knew that without commitment to competitions and training no winning coach would want to coach him.
So he decided he just needed a coach who knew how to train an athlete and wasn't very famous, so the coach could accept that Jake trained for less time on days when he had to play basketball.
But he never thought he could find a coach who didn't even care if he trained or not or if he competed.
