《Be happy with sports 》Chapter 405: Rest and Business 9
Advertisement
As she worked at Jake's investment company she knew how good this year was for Jake and Matthew's investments, the estimate was that they would receive at least double because of the appreciation of the shares of the company Cisco.
Emily was certainly afraid that Jake would continue to invest like that and end up losing all of his money and also all of Matthew's investment, but she trusted Jake and hoped he knew what he was doing.
It would take Emily a few days to make that $ 214 million investment, she believed the stock price would rise after she bought so many shares, that was better for Jake and Matthew.
After that, Jake talked to Emily for a while about what she had done at the investment company and also what else would be invested in the technology company so that Charlie's team could create the Android system that Jake wanted.
After that meeting Jake had nothing else to do in Miami and could just rest and stay with his mother, he would have a few more days to stay in Miami and then he would have to go back to university the day before the game to train with the team.
So Jake spent the next few days at home and flew out at night to go to the university two days before the game, so he would sleep at the university and train with the team the day before the game day.
Jake didn't know when he could spend time with his mother in Miami because as soon as classes at the university were over, Jake would have to travel to Australia to shoot the film The Matrix and stay there until he had to return to the United States to the NBA draft that year.
So it was possible that Jake didn't even have time to go to Miami on his vacation, and even if the next NBA season was going to start only next year because of a problem between the NBA and the players, Jake knew he would have to be training on the team until it was time for the team to play.
Under the contract, he had asked for he might even miss games and training to run a marathon, but he couldn't do that to visit his mother unless all the players could go out to visit the family too.
The other day Jake had already slept in his dorm at the university and went to where the team was to do the training, the next game worried Jake a lot, it was a game in which in the past the Tar Heels team had lost this game without Jake on the team.

With him on the team it was much more possible for the team to win that game, so he had already talked about it with Coach Guthridge just as he always did before an important game, so while Jake was in Miami the other players on Team Tar Heels had to train a lot after resting.
In this game, the Tar Heels team would not play as well and the best players would only have a regular performance which was not enough to achieve victory, so the players trained even though it was not necessary because they were confident of winning the next game.
Even so, coach Guthridge spoke several times in training that it was not for them to be so confident and it was important to respect all opponents when Jake trained on the last day before the game everyone realized that he was also worried about the next game.
Jake was really concerned about the next game and was thinking that maybe he would have to do a good performance and try harder the individual moves to guarantee victory for the Tar Heels team.
The other day came the day of the game that worried Jake so much, the teams soon arrived at the Dean Smith Center to prepare for the game, with a home game it would be easier for the Tar Heels team to get the victory.
And everyone thought that this would be an easy game for the Tar Heels team and that they would be able to increase the winning streak, after that game they would have two more difficult games and it would be in these games that everyone thought that the Tar Heels team would be more likely to lose.
"Welcome to everyone who came to accompany us with another ACC conference game, the Tar Heels team plays this game trying to increase the winning streak for the Tar Heels team to go down in history."
"The opponent of the Tar Heels team for this game is the NC State Wolfpack team that has been having a bad season, but still has a good team that will try to win in that game."
"With the Tar Heels team having an excellent season so far and having excellent players and playing this game at home it is quite possible that they will win this game more."
"But it is possible that, to everyone's surprise, the NC State Wolfpack team will win by having an excellent game."
"That's right, this is a game in which the Tar Heels team has the full advantage playing with Jake and Jamison who are the best players of the season together, I don't think the NC State Wolfpack team has the strength to win that game."

Everyone hoped that the Tar Heels team would win that game and the players were still relaxed before the game started, they were more attentive because of the warnings from Coach Guthridge and Jake.
Right at the beginning of the game Jake increased the pace of the game and went for the attack, it was not as fast as Jake normally organized the plays, but his teammates stayed a week without playing and therefore they would have difficulty to endure the whole game if Jake picked up the pace a lot.
After a few moves Jake could see that Jamison and Williams were playing well even though it was not as good as in the other games, the biggest problem was with Carter who seemed to be not doing as well as in the last games.
Jake also shot from outside to score three points for the Tar Heels team, this made the Tar Heels team a small lead on the scoreboard and made the NC State Wolfpack players feel the pressure.
Jake knew that Clint Harrison would play very well in that game in the three-point shots and so he decided that he would defend against him to secure the advantage on the scoreboard, seeing Harrison being scored by Jake the NC State Wolfpack players knew that it would be difficult to win this game.
In another move the NC State Wolfpack team was on the attack and Harrison received a ball and Jake was a little further from him, Harrison tried the shot from outside and hit with three points for the NC State Wolfpack team.
This made the NC State Wolfpack players more confident that Harrison was performing well, then Jake took the ball and started another attack for the Tar Heels team.
After passing through the middle of the court Jake passed the ball to Carter on the left, Carter advanced and before crossing the three-point line he passed the ball to Williams on the right, Williams held the ball and passed it to Jake further back through the middle.
Jake received the ball and quickly passed it to Jamison who was free from the right ahead, Jamison took the ball and advanced to make the layup and get 2 more points for the Tar Heels team.
Even though the Tar Heels team had the advantage at the beginning of the game, the NC State Wolfpack team was also playing well and therefore the Tar Heels team could not increase the advantage on the scoreboard.
So Jake realized that the Tar Heels team would have a hard time winning the game if they continued that way, in one of Coach Guthridge's timeouts Jake said it was best that they put pressure on defense and attack as well.
Coach Guthridge was seeing how much more difficult the game was than he was and the players expected and agreed with Jake and told the team to press on defense and attack, the Tar Heels team players did not underestimate the opponent and just wanted to win.
So the players of the NC State Wolfpack team were surprised to see that the Tar Heels team increased the pressure in attack and defense, they expected the game to continue as it was until the end of the 1st half as the Tar Heels team was winning.
Another thing that changed in the last 10 minutes of the 1st half was that Jake was trying more shots from three points, in a few minutes he had already tried 3 shots from outside and hit the three with 9 more points for the Tar Heels team.
This made the NC State Wolfpack team difficult to defend, they still had to defend against Jamison, Carter, and Williams who were playing well, and in the attack, the NC State Wolfpack team was having difficulty playing against the strong defense of Team Tar Heels.
In another move Harrison tried the three-point shot and Jake appeared to make the block, Williams still got the ball and advanced slowly while the Tar Heels team went on the attack as well.
Before going through the middle of the court Williams passed the ball to Jake who was on the right, Jake slowly advanced the ball and soon went to the middle of the court while Williams went to the right.
Jake stepped forward and passed the ball to Carter on the left, Carter passed the ball to Okulaja on the right ahead, Okulaja held on a little and passed the ball to Jake who was further back in the middle.
When Jake received the ball, two players from the NC State Wolfpack team saw to defend against him, after all, Jake had already made 15 points in three-point shots in that 1st half of the game, when the defense came Jake took advantage and passed the ball to Williams who had left free by the right.
Williams did not miss the opportunity and tried the shot to score another 3 points for the Tar Heels team, with this move the advantage of the Tar Heels team was much greater and Jake was more relaxed about it.
