《Be happy with sports 》Chapter 312: 1997 ACC Men's Basketball Tournament 8
Advertisement
One thing Jake had discovered and taken aback at this game now had to be taken into consideration, he thought would never tire of his much larger stamina even than marathon athletes.
But in this game, he realized to his surprise that after playing for three days in a row just not feeling he was tired, he realized this because his average hit of three points dropped so much in this game.
Even though he already had a much higher average than other players with the help of the system he could get a lot more three-point shots, and he always tried to shoot three points when he was confident he could hit the three-point shot points.
"Fate, do you know why I ended up making more mistakes in this game?"
[What happened was that after three straight days of playing you got mentally tired, your stamina was normal, but your mind was tired after so much pressure from important games.]
[This will happen many times yet and this is also one of the reasons why coaches sometimes leave their top players more time on the bench several times during game periods.]
[The more important a player is to the team, the more pressure they end up feeling, you're no different, but you don't have to worry because it happens rarely and even if your accuracy drops a little, you'll still play better than the others on your team.]
Jake did not expect this, of course, he knew that everyone could get mentally tired, it happened to him several times in his past life when he slept briefly and when he studied too much, but in this life had not happened once.
Knowing this Jake can be relieved because just as the system said was normal and very difficult to happen, not knowing why was much worse for him, he was lucky to always be able to ask things he had doubts to the system.
"Fate, show me my statistics window of the first job."

---------------------------------
Jake was glad to see that several of his strength statistics had improved in recent months, the other statistics would hardly improve with training after earning so many reward statistics.
Several of his skills have also risen in rank after these months playing on the Tar Heels team, he has played this season so far more than he had in two years at high school and was always up against skillful opponents.
So it was normal for his skills to improve quickly, after all, he already had more experience than many NBA lifelong players, but he could always gain more experience playing with people with intelligence than with system-controlled players in his space of Imagination training.
Once again Jake thought he had made the right decision by coming to college instead of going straight to the NBA, otherwise, he would have to spend at least two years playing very little time until everyone recognized his ability.
After all, he can quickly get better than his college basketball teammates after a few months, but in the NBA he knew he still had a lot of players who were better than him.
He felt it was a shame he didn't get any attribute points as a reward after winning the ACC tournament, but he already expected it as the system said he would have to become a pro before earning more attribute points.
Also, the ACC tournament was something like a regional tournament, so maybe if he could win the NCAA tournament he would get some attribute point as a reward, so he would have to work even harder.
As he would have a week before the start of the NCAA tournament Jake decided to go to Miami to stay with his mother in the coming days before returning to rest to play again, he would have his own training ground at home to do the daily training that Coach Davis prepared for him.
So the day after the final game Jake went home and arrived at the restaurant to surprise his mother, this time he didn't meet Lola as he always did when he entered the restaurant.
Jake went straight to the kitchen and saw his mother talking happily with Anna, it looked like they were talking something to put on the restaurant menu, Anna was the first to notice Jake and then went to talk to him.
"Hi Jake, I didn't think you were coming anytime soon, just yesterday we saw your game in the final, congratulations on becoming the champion, you deserve it."

"Thanks, Anna, I came here to see you, hi mom, I miss you."
"Jake, I didn't expect you to come either, aren't you going to have a game in a few days?"
"Yes I will, so as I enjoyed coming today, our team gained a few days off from Coach Smith before the first NCAA tournament game."
"You should have stayed at university resting these days, son, in less than a month the games will be over, aren't you?"
Since she had complete confidence in Jake, Eva was counting the games until the NCAA tournament final, so in less than a month the final would happen.
"That's right mom, but I still have classes until two months from now, so I enjoyed coming here this week."
Eva was so involved with Jake's basketball games that she had even forgotten that he had gone to college to study, after all, Jake had never had a problem getting the best grades in college.
This week the teachers wouldn't even miss Jake because they knew the players must be tired, and even if Jake had this week of fouls would be his only in the semester.
Jake missed his mother after several months, and took the opportunity to come this week because on vacation he could not spend all his time at home, he would have several marathons to compete in his vacation months.
In addition, soon he would have to sort things out with his investments and the companies he was involved in. Matthew's company had started selling the new digital cameras in February of this year and this year Jake could expect more profits.
Jake didn't know if Clara and Tiffany's companies had already started investing, but he was just worried about them and didn't expect to receive profits from those stocks, so if they don't come to talk to him, Jake won't ask about anything either.
Jake also hoped that by the end of next year Charlie's team would be able to fully develop a smartphone prototype and Jake would try to get as many patents as he could, then he would have Charlie's team start developing a prototype of the Android system as well.
Jake knew many things that could give him a lot of money in the coming years, but he had no energy and no time to invest in these products, so he chose these two products that would be the world's most lucrative future market.
If he could successfully invest in Google, he wouldn't even have to worry about the Android system and would just wait for a few years to start selling his shares, and so would have money for a lifetime.
If he had shares in Google and Amazon he could become the richest man in the world in another 20 years, but those shares paid no dividends, so Jake would not hesitate to sell his shares to have real money on hand.
So Jake could make donations to those he needed as he always wanted and could invest back in other companies that would pay dividends and still have growth in the future.
After all, according to Jake, he knew that the smart thing to do with stocks was to sell when they were valued and still worth it, he didn't want to continue with stocks that wouldn't be worth holding unless it was to help a friend as he was doing with Clara's company.
Jake also knew he couldn't count on Emily showing up in the next few days because he'd let her see what was going on with Amazon that soon this year would have the IPO.
For the next few days Jake stayed home training and talking to Eva every day so he rested his tired mind and prepared for the NCAA tournament games, Jake hoped his team would win, but no one could know what would happen.
Not even he who had come from the future could know what would happen in the coming days since just being playing on the Tar Heels team in those years had already changed the future he knew, he hoped that nothing bad would happen in the coming days.
After three days at home he returned to college, he did not want to challenge Coach Smith and risk missing out on the initial team formation of the Tar Heels team in the early NCAA tournament games.
At university, he continued his daily marathon training as he shared part of the training with Zack who was already running 14km every day, in the coming months Jake would continue to increase Zack's training for him to run a marathon in a few months.
After all, after these more than 4 months of training, Zack was already in good physical shape and could start increasing daily running intensity without risking injury, in fact, if he ran slower, Zack could run for more than 20 km every day.
Jake also returned to daily training with his basketball team, everyone was much more rested after a few days and was very excited for the first NCAA tournament games.

The WereLionesses Mate
She was running out of breath, but that didn't matter, all that mattered was getting away from him and proving him wrong. Branches scraped her face and her arms, her body burning hot; but cold from her sweat as the wind blew over her skin. Her pants soaked from running through the streams, her shirt ripped to shreds around her stomach from very low hanging branches. Her hair, a tumbling fiery mess of tangles, and waves slipping through the ponytail she had quickly fastened trying to tame her wild hair. Running and crawling on the ground through the forest floor, trying to get back to the camp grounds so Whhooossshhhh! All of a sudden a giant gust of wind flew past her nearly lifting her off the ground and throwing her into a tree. Where in the world did that wind come from? She thought, but she kept running like it had never happened. She jumped over a fallen log, ignoring the fact that she almost fell in the process. She zoomed past all the trees and sprinted over the roots coming out of the ground. She rounded another tree coming to a sudden halt at seeing him standing there with a drink in his hand laughing and joking. She stood there wondering how in the world he could have beaten her here; He looked at her then, He looked, well, handsome, his faced was clean shaven and his button up shirt was all unbuttoned minus the three at the bottom. She could still visibly see his bronze chest and the top of his ripped-hard abs. He walked over to her and smiled, showing all of his teeth, the smile reaching his eyes. His eyes were dark and stormy, their color was usually a nice honey brown but now his eyes looked mid-night black. They looked like they could kill a man at eighty paces, but could sweep a woman off her feet at the same time.
