The game was as good as everyone else, the Chicago Bulls team won another game, by 120-93 against the Indiana Pacers team .
This was the best time for the Chicago Bulls team to end this season with a record of 72 wins and only 10 losses, at which point the Bulls would have 31 wins in 32 matches .
This year Michael Jordan would be MVP again after returning to basketball after a stop to play Baseball which was his father's wish .
Michael Jordan had scored 29 points in this game and only Jake knew he was seeing one of the games of a season that would go into history for the Chicago Bulls .
It was a pity that Jake couldn't play Michael at his best, even if he could play it was Jake who couldn't play the best .
"Did you see this game well, Jake? If you can play half of what Michael plays you could one day be a great basketball player in the future . "
Jake agreed with what Coach Bill said, but with the system, Jake's goal was to play at the same level as Michael Jordan, even though it might be nearly impossible Jake was determined to try even if it took another 14 years before that .
After all the system said that with higher physical statistics Jake could play at his peak even after 30 years old, so he still had plenty of time to develop his skills as well .
After that Jake thanked Coach Bill so much for this gift, Coach Bill told Jake that he would try to talk to the NCAA university and organization to see if Jake could get permission to have sponsors at the university .
So Jake returned to Miami while Coach Bill went elsewhere, Jake was already liking Bill as a coach and expected to see him again soon .
After returning home, Jake went back to light training to fully recover, Jake was now thinking about how he could find a coach that suited his requirements and was still reliable .
It wasn't that Jake was worried that something really bad could happen to him because even all the technology in the world couldn't figure out how the system improved his body and what Jake had different from others .
But it would be strange if Jake were seen as different from other athletes in their physical appearance, he also wanted to be recognized as a talent above all .
So Jake decided to ask Tiffany for help again, after all, she was the only trusted person Jake could ask for help now as Clara was worse than Tiffany because of the problems and Jake didn't trust John much .
Tiffany said she would look for someone suitable for Jake, the fact that Jake wanted someone who only knew the basics and was also trustworthy made things a lot easier for her .
If he asked for an elite coach or someone famous, it would be much more difficult for Jake, who was still playing basketball, no professional coach would accept an athlete with keen attention .
So Jake tried to prove himself while he was young, so he wouldn't have so much trouble in the future, he knew Tiffany should take the entire vacation to find someone suitable because she was busy .
So Jake waited again for news of Emily who promised to meet Jeff by the end of the year and could not keep the promise as the year would end in another day .
But Jake didn't blame her because she knew Emily had so many other things to worry about besides looking for Jeff, so Jake spent the year quietly with his mother and continued his training that intensified when Jake saw that he was recovering .
While training and waiting for Emily, Jake received an invitation that was unexpected to him, it was a request from the football team to have Jake play in a friendly match for them over the weekend .
Coach Jim knew that Jake had a great physical performance in PE classes and also playing for the basketball team, Coach even knew that after all the training that Jake was still running on the school's athletic field .
In fact, it was the football team that had the biggest problems after the Elite school decided to focus more on sports because it was essential that the school make the biggest investment in football that was America's favorite sport .
But while only making a promise to a few talented students for all sports including Jake and his teammates, the school could easily win state championships .
Unfortunately, this was not possible for football, because it needed at least 33 very talented players to improve the elite school's weak football team, which was almost the number of students called in for all sports .
In addition, usually schools famous for being good at sports had two teams, and the VARSITY core team and the secondary team that was VARSITY JUNIOR, so they would have to have at least 70 good players to have some prominence .

Even if the school promising scholarships could invite these players and win the state championship it would be for a maximum of 2 years and then the team level would fall again .
Even as the school was needed, it made a big investment, and in two years it got an American football team to beat class 5A in the Florida region, which made talented new students interested in writing at school .
In the other 2 years, the football team still achieved good results thanks to the good work of coach Jim and even if they didn't win the Elite school it was still well placed in those two years building greater confidence for new players to enter .
But even so the number of good players the school had decreased and many ended up getting injured at the end of the year, so earlier this year as the VARSITY JUNIOR team also had a friendly and had no player for the first team coach Jim got not knowing what to do .
So he chose the student he thought could best play among everyone in school, of course, he did it because he didn't know Jake had just recovered from an injury .
Even though Jake wasn't a fan of football, he still knew the rules very well, and with his statistics, it would be very difficult for anyone to hurt Jake in normal contact, Jake was also looking for a sport that could improve his strength and football could . be a good idea .
Of course Jake would never think of becoming a pro at this, but to play in his spare time would be a good idea if Coach Jim knew what Jake was thinking he would probably regret inviting Jake to the team .
Jake showed up at the school's football training ground, no one came to talk to him and so Jake stood by the field until a young man came to take Jake to put on his protective gear before starting training .
As Jake was not used to the boy who was one of the staff assistants helped Jake put on his protective gear and uniform, as it was a rich private school everything was new and had lots of extra equipment for everyone .
When Jake returned to the field, coach Jim stepped away from team training and came to talk to Jake as he was the one who invited him to help the football team .
"Hi Jake, thank you so much for coming to help the team now that we needed it . "
"No problem coach, I was on vacation and it's just for a game . "
"I'm glad you think so, for today you will just watch the training while the assistant explains some tactics and formations we use for you if you have any questions you can ask him . "
After that Coach, Jim returned to follow the team's training while the assistant began to show in a small board various formations and schemes that were used by the football team just as the coach said .
Jake listened very attentively while sometimes looking at the field to see the training, he asked many questions about things he did not understand to the assistant who explained everything patiently .
It seemed that Coach Jim really wanted Jake to really learn everything and left the assistant all day to teach Jake everything he needed to do the assistant sometimes repeated the same thing over and over again .
Jake wasn't upset about that because he really wanted to learn everything the assistant said, so at the end of the training day, Jake was just upset about having to wear protective gear for nothing as he was not called to play .
After Jake went home thinking that the day was lost, in fact, Jake didn't know why the coach bothered to teach him all this, after all, Jake didn't think he would even have a chance to play as he had not trained and that he was just there to cover the numbers .
But if he could, Jake thought he could play as Running Back (RB) or Wide Receiver (WR), after all, Jake was certainly more agile and flexible than these other High School players .
Someone from the NFL could be faster than Jake, but his stats were too high for his age, as the strength only the heaviest and biggest players could be stronger than Jake, but these players couldn't keep up with Jake at speed .
After all, it was impossible for anyone to have Jake's strength without having developed muscles, it was possible for Jake thanks to the help of the system, and with larger muscles, players lose speed .
After everyone left home, the coach arrived to talk to the assistant who stayed with Jake all day, Coach Jim was all day paying attention to Jake even while coaching the team .
"So how did it go?"
"He is better than the expected coach, from the questions I asked him later in the day it seems that one day he managed to memorize almost all the tactics I gave him . "
Coach Jim was very pleased to hear this, he thought that because Jake was the best player on the basketball team and was suddenly asked to help the school football team he would be annoyed to have to do all day doing nothing . just listening to the team tactics .
But to Coach Jake's surprise, he had no arrogance and listened attentively without even complaining about anything .
Jake thought the coach called him to the football team just to complete numbers, but he was completely mistaken, coach Jim paid close attention to the information he had long ago about Jake .
In addition to his physical talents, Jake was also the best student in the class and the PG of the basketball team . In addition, the coach heard that it was Jake who led the team at the games and Coach Mike just coached the team during the week and spent all of their time . the instructions to Jake .
Coach Jim also heard that in the beginning when the team had not played much time together that Jake passed the moves to the team players through hand signals, this all shows his intelligence and leadership ability .
If Coach Jim wanted only players to complete the numbers he could call some from the JUNIOR VARSITY team, and the secondary team could recruit some players from the school, many wanted to play on a recently champion football team .
Coach Jim didn't know Jake was that fast from his games either, so Coach was thinking of using Jake to replace the two-quarterback (QB) who had been injured, the JUNIOR VARSITY team had only one player in that position who wasn't so good .
So Coach Jim was thinking of testing Jake in this position, so it was important that Jake memorize all team tactics before they could train other things after all the fitness coach knew Jake had .
So Jake just had to train a few short passes or aerial throws during the week, it was Coach Jim's big bet, but this was just a friendly one and he would only use Jake for once if Jake didn't get a satisfactory result during the week, the Coach could just let Jake out of the game .
After arriving home Jake continued studying the notes he had received from the assistant football team, this was all very interesting to Jake and even if he didn't play he found it useful to learn some things like that .
Jake had always taken everything he did seriously, so he was successful in many things, with Jake's intelligence being very high and most of the time he spent studying these tactics Jake was confident that he would remember everything if necessary .
The other day the assistant helped Jake put on his protective gear and prepared to teach Jake again about team tactics, but Jake said he didn't have to because he had learned it all already .
The assistant was not surprised and thought that Jake was just being arrogant and didn't want to waste any more time studying, after all even the quarterbacks of the main team could not say that he had memorized all tactics .
The quarterback usually learns only the basics of tactics and only studies those that can be used in the best games shortly before the games, otherwise, it would not take the time to organize the team in the attacks .
Seeing how confident Jake was, the assistant asked several difficult questions while his tactics were in hand, he thought if he showed that Jake didn't know everything he could continue teaching .
But then the assistant was surprised how Jake had really decorated everything, so he went to ask Coach Jim what to do, Coach Jim was surprised because he didn't expect to include Jake in today's training .
So he decided to go through the training that Jake would have to do the other day with the starting players while Jake would watch alongside the assistant explaining what Jake would have to do if he was in training .
Jake accepted that and spent another day with his protective gear unused even once standing beside the field, yet Jake was glad that he was learning so many things he didn't know about football training .
The other day in the first part of the training Jake started to participate, first of all, he would have to do the 40-yard race for the coach to know his time, Jake had never done anything like this before but had heard many times on television .
So Jake knew it was tough and he gave his race the maximum, he got a time of 4 . 61 in the race, that wasn't considered very fast in the NFL, but as Jake was still 16 he impressed everyone .
Even more, because it was his first time doing the 40 yard race, everyone admired Jake who had one of the best times of the team, in fact, Jake's fort was more endurance than blast, he could keep his top speed for 200 meters for example .

When Jake's agility was over 50 he could even compete with sprinters because of it, then the assistant gave Jake the race course that Running Back (RB) and Wide Receiver (WR) would do .
So Jake was happy because he was certain he would be in these positions just as he had thought, Jake was even wondering if he could make a touchdown, with his speed and strength he was confident of doing at least one in training .
After several people trained the coach called Jake to talk to him, and Jake was excited thinking about how he could do a Touchdown .
"Jake I know you already learned most of the team's tactics in the early days and saw how we do the training so today you are going to play quarterback, I think you've seen what the trajectories WR and RB will do . "
After hearing that Jake was shocked, he never thought he would play quarterback after all this was the most important position of the team and Jake had never played football seriously before, so he had no confidence in leading the team to make the points without experience .
Coach Jim saw that Jake was surprised and pleased with it, he thought Jake was capable of it but didn't want to see Jake being too arrogant thinking that he could easily or would go wrong .
"You don't have to worry about that, the quarterback's main job is to organize the team, know the right tactics to catch the opponent by surprise and make the passes and plays, you've always done the first two things, making the passes is the only one that you need to train . "
With training making the passes was really the easiest, but knowing the right time to make a pass while having the pressure of the game, with opponents trying to knock you down and your teammate receiving the pass has to be moving that makes it all harder .
Not to mention that a good quarterback has to have a lot of strength and a good arm in addition to being spatially aware not to lose the ball before making the pass, but Jake doesn't have to worry about that as he would play just one game .
Also, it was great that this game was just a friendly one, but with the psychological problem that Jake is in he could end up playing very badly if the game was serious, of course, Jake didn't even think he could play .
So Jake went along with his assistant and was training how to do the oval ball throws, luckily Jake already knew how to do that from PE classes and playing a few times with friends in his past life .
The assistant was surprised because Jake looked like he was used to playing with the oval ball and didn't miss a pass, even when the assistant went further, it showed that Jake had at least the strength to be a quarterback .
After a while the coach called Jake to do basic passing training while the WRs moved as agreed, Jake easily passed the training and missed none .
It was easier because there was no one in defense, but even experienced quarterback could end up missing that training, Coach Jim grinned and was glad to see that he was right about Jake .
At least he already knew that Jake could play on Sunday if Jake could make the hardest passes in the pressure of the match when everyone had a training with the teams of 11 of the attack against the 11 of defense Jake missed many more passes .
This was because with a defensive player the WR could not move exactly as it was in training because he had to clear the defender, so the quarterback must read the move well and set the pass even with the WR out of the pass route .
Even so, no one was mad at Jake who was playing for the first time with the team, just about him hitting the pass and receiving the ball from the Center without knocking it off his team-mates .
Even though Jake still hit some passes and others it was Receiver's fault that he dropped the ball even though Jake's pass was right, all of which made the coach happy as they still had 3 more days to train and hit everything .
After all Jake was just training to set his passing time calmly, but when the opposing defenders pass the Guards (LG / RG) and Tackle (LT / RT), Jake will have to learn to think faster and dodge the opposing defenders that will try to bring it down .
Even though Coach Jim was very pleased with Jake's performance, someone once said that a genius player in one sport could play in other sports and Jake was proving it just as Michael Jordan did .
Too bad Coach Jim thought Jake was too old to start playing football, if Jake had started a few years earlier he might have had a chance to become a pro, but now that was almost impossible unless Jake had amazing talent as a quarterback .
Luckily Jake wasn't even thinking about becoming a pro football player, even though he enjoyed the sport was impossible for what Jake wanted to do in his life, Jake was thinking of playing basketball because he loved the sport and wanted to get very rich .
He also wanted to run in athletics because he loved running and wanted to try to win several gold medals at the Olympics, so love was not the only reason for Jake to do these two sports .
To win medals more easily he could only participate in sports that required more strength or even fighting sports such as judo, even swimming was better suited to winning the medals .
But he knew that it was not possible to do various sports in his life and the marathon involved running and were similar to the method of physical training that Jake already did for basketball, so both sports could be practiced by Jake .
But if Jake tried American football too he would be at great risk even if he could become a professional player, after all the fatigue he would face with this sport that had too much physical contact would be too much and not even the stamina bar could help Jake improve .
In addition, Jake could end up with several injuries that would hinder him with basketball and athletics, if running Jake had already had an injury it was impossible to expect that the same would not happen with American football .
But Jake thought that he could try sometimes to participate in some games and training just to improve his strength, of course, these games would not be at the university or in an NFL team but with some friends .
The other day Jake was even better with his passes, with his hundreds of games in his imagination training space . Jake had already learned several tricks to learn how to predict his mates' passing movements at the right time .
After all, even though in basketball the passes weren't as difficult as in football, Jake's experience still helped, after all, Jake was known to rarely miss a pass in basketball training and games .
In football if Jake could hit a pass every 4 plays he could lead any team to champion, of course, that was easier said than done, Jake hit 1 pass every 10 attempts on his second day .
When everyone saw that Jake was much better and more used to hitting pass times, the defense suddenly opened on the orders of coach Jim and the players of the positions of Defensive End (DE) and Defensive Tackle (DT) understood what the Coach wanted and knocked down Jake who didn't expect it .
Jake was a little confused by what had happened and soon realized that he had suffered a sack from the opposing players, it wasn't that Jake didn't know this could happen but that he understood that the coach was just training him and not letting his opponents go do that .
In addition, Jake knew it should be his attacking teammates' job to protect him as he made the moves, so as he stood he looked bitterly at the coach and his teammates .
"Don't be mad at your teammates Jake, I was the one who planned this, you as a quarterback always have to pay attention to opposing players as you prepare to pass, this time you understand that sometimes the team can make a mistake and you will fall like now . "
Of course Jake understood why the coach did that, but Jake couldn't help being upset because he could defend himself if he knew his opponents would pass by his teammates and not suffer Sack .
In the following plays, Jake was always preparing the pass while watching the opposing players, Coach Jim was pleased with it, he thought that if he made Jake caught unprepared he would be more aware after that .
So Jake was now missing more passes but was trying to make passes faster because he was worried that opposing players would try another Sack, now Jake was acting more like a quarterback .
Jake ended up suffering 5 more Sack in training because he didn't have time to pass, but even the coach was surprised how Jake was still able to dodge the DE and DT opponents before being knocked down, which shows how Jake had agility .
When training was over Jake took off his protective gear and went home tired to bathe and rest, Jake couldn't help but think about how hard it was to be a quarterback even in training .
Of course, this was because Jake was not used to it and he still had many limitations on his current training, but since everything was so intense Jake focused more on what the trainer said than what he remembered watching on television .
While Jake was training without him realizing he had fully recovered his best form before the injury, the football team also had to do warm-up and physical training every day before tactical training .
It was a different training from what Jake was used to and much harder than what he did on the basketball team every day, but Jake who had high physical stats and did a lot of physical training every day could do that training easily .
It also made Coach Jim and the other players very surprised, after all, Jake seemed to do the exercises more easily than athletes who were used to doing the same every day, even Jake's repetitive weightlifting training could easily lift more than 100 kg several times .
For over three years Jake was used to doing weight training, even though he couldn't lift weights over 300kg at the hip as many NFL players could easily lift over 200kg .
The other day Coach Jim decided to call Jake to pass on what he had to do in the next days of training from now on, after all, Jake was being trained to participate in the game on Sunday and they didn't have much time to fully prepare it .
"Jake, you've been doing very well in the training we've had so far, but today we'll have to do the full training every day until the game day if you don't understand something you can ask me . "
"Complete training? As well?"
"I speak training but more actually it will be more like various simulated games between the attacking and defensive teams, we will have all the plays of a normal game and even the races and score . "
So Jake understood, he wanted to do a touchdown or a Field goal, but if he could give a pass to a WR or an RB to touchdown he would be happy too .
As the coach taught the players the way the assistant Jake always knew well came to explain what the training would be like now and also what moves he had to know to do .
So Jake finally understood that his training was so difficult for him because he didn't have many play options and not even the four down attempts that the attacking team usually has to attempt the touchdown .

In games the quarterback usually has 3 different attack options, he can pass the ball and make throws for WR as Jake had been training, he could also pass the ball to RB to try the race or he could run himself to try to advance .
Since in training everyone knew that Jake would only try to make passes as that was what the coach wanted, it was obvious that Jake and WR had a much harder time getting the move, as training started Jake awkwardly called the move they would make .
He thought it was cool to watch the quarterback screaming loudly on television, but it was too embarrassing to do so, in the first play the assistant said that Jake should try the play with RB, Jake was happy because it was the play he found easier for QB do .
Jake didn't know how to analyze the level of his team's players because he wasn't used to watching high school football games, but he had heard from assistants that in the last 4 years the president of Elite school has decided to focus on sports the team School football has always had the best defense .
This was not only because the school invited many talented students from other schools to the Elite school, and had more to do with hiring Coach Jim, he was on the coaching staff of one of the universities that had one of the best teams .
Even though Coach Jim was not the head coach of this team he learned a lot from the coach watching him work and was also responsible for the defensive part of the team, in which one team had more than 40 players and three teams needed to have one . good coaching staff besides the head coach .
Thus at least the defensive part of the Elite football team was guaranteed, and in high school, the attacks of the teams are generally weaker because it is difficult to find a QB who had the strength and good arm to play and who has intelligence as well .
So RB racing is usually the main move, and a firm defense is the best countermeasure for a talented RB, seeing how difficult it was for his team's RB to advance 2 yards in training, Jake saw that the easiest move for him was not Very helpful on staff .
For lack of a good QB after the best student in that position invited by the school that the team was having difficulty winning the state championship again, in the other move Jake would try a race again .
So RB advanced just 2 yards again and the attacking team had advanced just 4 yards and needed at least 6 more for the first dawn, so from what he saw on television Jake knew the coach would ask Jake to try a pass now .
After all, even though there were 4 attempts usually the 4 attempts were made a punt so that the team would not risk losing the ball, Coach Jim asked Jake to try a pass this time as he thought .
So with two WRs on his team, Jake had only two attempts, as the opposing team knew that Jake was not very experienced they could exclude Jake's option by making a race, as this was the 3rd attempt they usually thought the team in the attack would try a pass .
But what Jake didn't know was that he only had one attacking team and one defending team didn't need a punt on the fourth try, but Jake thought he was out of options, Jake received the ball in Shotgun position and moved quickly to the right where I had the most protection .
The coach recommended that Jake make the move with the left WR that would run straight and cut in the middle, but midway through the play, he saw that the defensive team's CB was waiting for this move .
So he decided to play with the right WB who would run straight and cut out getting close to the sideline, luckily the right WB was more free when he cut right and Jake made a Lob Pass and the WB jumped to get the ball safely .
With this move the attacking team had advanced 8 more yards and achieved the first dawn and would continue on the further attack, Jake was happy to get his first dawn playing as QB, he thought it was as satisfying as making points in basketball .
Coach Jim was the one who was most impressed, Jake decided on his own for a different play than the assistant had recommended, and that was the right decision to get the first down to attack.
He didn't expect Jake to get a first down on his first play, so the next play would soon start and it would be another race, this time Jake was in a position closer to Center and then passed the ball to RB.
The RB managed to find a gap between the opposing defense and managed to advance 4 yards before making a slide, the attack was quite happy with that, but the defenders were upset with Jake who was a novice playing so well.
This time again the assistant said that the recommended play was a race with the RB, the assistant always said it was the recommended play because the WB was always ready to receive a pass on every move.
All coaches encouraged the quarterback to have more freedom to choose which move to make because the moves were always changing and the coach could not predict the opposing moves.
This time the defenders were determined to stop the race, so Jake who was in Shotgun's position saw that the race was a bad idea, so when he wondered who would pass he saw that an opposing DT had managed to get past Jake's defenders and I was trying a sack.
Jake used his speed to run to the right and get as far away as possible while trying to analyze the play, Jake still making the pass to the left WR that had cut in half again.
The WR managed to receive the pass and the attacking team was able to advance another 4 yards, even though being knocked over by the DT after passing the pass Jake was still happy to see that he had succeeded.
Even Coach Jim was shocked again to see that Jake had decided to change play correctly and still made the pass while walking away from the opposing player trying to take him down.
It was hard to see this in a quarterback even though he had several years of experience, but Jake was a newbie so it was more surprising, a quarterback who can usually analyze the moves well while withstanding the pressure of his opponent and has a good presence of Pocket has the so-called Poise.
That was the hardest thing for any quarterback to teach and it's a kind of talent in itself, the coach was increasingly thinking that Jake could have a great career if he started early in football and could be an NFL player if he had the time.
After the team continued training until the end of the day, Jake was even more tired than the day before and was very dirty and sore after being knocked down several times in the training rounds, so after removing the protective gear he decided to take bath in school just like the other players did.
After Jake went home with a smile on his face despite being very tired, he was happy to make a good game and had much more fun with his teammates than on the basketball team.
So over the next few days everyone repeated the same training routines and had games between attacking and defensive teams, Jake quickly got used to playing quarterback and even risked a few races to win a few yards in a few plays.
So everyone finished the last training before Sunday's game, Jake was sad to realize that this was perhaps the last training as the football team players, he became very friendly and had fun with the attacking team and even earned the respect of the team defensive after getting several moves.
Jake thought that if he played on this team before he could have many friends in his high school days, but because of the risk of injury Jake had not risked playing football before, even though now he can play well with his teammates and having no risk of injury was because it evolved.
He has trained his body with the help of the system since he was 10 years old, that means he was training for over 6 years, only playing a lot of basketball can greatly improve his technique and further improve his physique, the last year he also gained a lot from training to run the marathon.
If he had tried to play only football before when he was over 10 years old he would not have been able to improve so quickly and be so prominent in the team, not to mention that he would be injured to have the physical statistics he had now.
And surely he would have no sponsorship to help him and his mother like he did in basketball many years ago, Jake was not blinded by his current success and knew his priorities, so he could still have a lot of fun with American football sometimes.
Before Jake went home on his last day of pre-match training Coach Jim called him in for a final conversation, Jake was also very grateful for Coach Jim's invitation when he was feeling a little bad about losing the New York marathon and had nothing to do on vacation.
"I wanted to thank you again, Jake, who came to help our team even if you were on your vacation."
"Alright coach, I always wanted to know what it was like to play football and you gave me that chance, I really enjoyed my week here."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"Glad to hear that, I'm not going to invite you to join the football team because I know you already have everything going to college to play basketball and will be a great NBA player in the future, but I wanted to say I think you have amazing talent and could be an NFL star as a quarterback. "
Jake knew that the talents that Coach Jim was talking about was what Jake had gained from his years of basketball experience and with the help of the system, Jake understood that even if he had some basketball talent before, it wouldn't be enough for him to be a pro.
So Jake knew that it was because of the system that he could play basketball so well and his talents had developed, so with the system, Jake could also have a chance to play in the NFL and be good at any sport.
Still, Jake was very grateful to the system that was helping him fulfill all the dreams he had in his life.
"I wanted to say that I was happy to see that I was right to call you for this friendly, you did much better in training than I expected and you will play as a quarterback on the attacking team in Sunday's game."
After saying that Coach Jim left, Jake was very excited to hear this, he hoped after seeing that he was training as a quarterback in every training session of the week he could play on Sunday, but hearing from the coach was different.
Of course, he didn't say anything about it to his mother, Eva never really liked American football because she found it a very violent sport when Jake played from time to time in her past life she always got angry with him about it.
Even if he explained to her that the sport was very competitive and had a lot of tactics and required intelligence as well as strength to play, it was difficult to take Eva's bias out of football, especially as she heard the news of players hurting themselves despite all the protective gear they wore.
So Jake thought it best to keep it a secret from her, in fact, Jake felt guilty for doing so, even if it was not to make Eva worried, he already had many secrets and hid many things from his mother that he was always so close to.
Eva didn't know yet that Jake had an investment company and 5 percent of Matthew's company, she didn't know that Jake had been injured this time and many other things that Jake was hiding to make Eva quiet.
When Sunday arrived Jake woke up very early and quickly prepared breakfast and went to the game venue, it would be in a small stadium in town that was made for even football games.
The Elite school was still building a new stadium to host its games, which was one reason many players were still afraid to choose Elite school to study and play football.
The opposing team for this friendly was a class 7 team and was much weaker than the current Elite team, but even so, they could bring a lot of work for Jake's team today.
They were chosen for this friendly because the attack from this team was strong and the defense was weak, so the Elite team could train their strong defense and have an advantage in the attacks, and the opposing team would win by having a strong team to train and see what the limits were.
Jake joined his teammates to hear the moves that would be played in the coach's game, Jake went to the assistant to know what he would need to do in the game, but those were just rehearsed play instructions and suggestions.
Coach Jim left Jake to decide which moves he thought were best done, as this was a friendly game. Jake thought he wouldn't have any psychological problems disrupting him.
In fact, the problem could have been healed Jake didn't know, but he knew that in this game he would be fine, soon the Elite team kicked off and the friendly game started, the opposing team's comeback advanced a little and threw himself to the ground. start the first play of the game.
Jake was on the bench watching as the Elite defense team took the field, Jake heard several times that this defensive team was the best in class 5 for 4 straight years, but Jake only knew that they knocked him down several times even when they weren' for real.
Now Jake was just hoping that the defensive team was right in this friendly match that the opposing team could not achieve a touchdown or a field goal, yet Jake paid attention to the opposing team's quarterback to see if he could learn anything else.
But Jake soon saw that the opposing team's QB had a very different style to him and began playing in the under center position, so Jake had learned that QBs who played from that position were usually because they had little agility or made many moves with RB.
Jake preferred Shotgun's position because he gave more time to analyze the play to try the WR pass or the RB race, and also gave more time to react if the opposing team went through their teammates to try Sack.
Jake saw the opposing team advance 37 yards before making the punt, so the attacking team along with Jake would finally have their chance to play, they would start from the 30-yard line, so had to get 7 runs to get to Endzone.
The play suggestion was a race with the RB that was on Jake's left, Jake decided to try this play and called the play with much more confidence than in the first practice after Hut Jake received the ball and handed it to the player RB that was on the left.
The RB ran to the left trying to get out of the opposing defensive line, even though Jake thought both of his team's RBs were too fast, before being knocked down he managed to advance 4 yards which was very good to get the first down.
After the team quickly organized to start another play, again they would try a race, Jake received the ball and went to the left RB again who managed to advance 7 yards this time getting the first down for the team in the game.
After a few moves Jake realized that the opposing team's defense was actually much lower than the Elite team's defense that Jake always had to face in training, only with the races did they get after many moves to advance more than 50 yards and less to go of 20 to reach Endzone and get the touchdown.
Even though sometimes Jake had to change the suggested moves he didn't need to make any passes for the WR, but in the last 20 yards, it seemed that the opposing defense started to improve suddenly and in the first 2 races they could only advance 4 yards.
So on the third try the assistant said it was time for Jake to try a pass, Jake got excited and after receiving the ball from Center began to analyze the play, the recommended play was with the left WR, but both WR they were well defended on the routes they ran.
Jake saw that the RB was also well observed by the opposing defenders, so within seconds Jake realized that he had no choice in this play, so he saw that he could be able to advance himself with the ball from the left.
When Jake started running an opposing DT player had just passed the protection of his teammates, if Jake took another minute he would no longer have a chance to try the race.
Jake managed to run trying to get as close as possible to the left sideline, he had a good run and managed to catch his opponents off guard and was knocked down after advancing 11 more yards.
He was happy to get down after the move but was upset when he realized he was close to getting the touchdown he wanted so much when he was asked to play, of course, he knew it was very difficult for him to achieve as a Quarterback.
Coach Jim was very pleased with Jake's performance, it would have been worthwhile to invite Jake to this friendly for the football team alone, even though Jake wasn't necessarily better than his team's quarterbacks he had a different style of game.
Just 3 yards to Endzone, Jake's team was excited as opponents were afraid of falling behind, Jake, who had experience of being under pressure, only calmly organized the play.
The assistant said the suggestion was a race, but that Jake could try the pass if he could get the Touchdown after that Jake received the ball and the right WR entered Endzone and ran into the middle unmarked.
Jake didn't miss this opportunity and made a bullet pass to the receiving WR and dived to the ground to secure the touchdown.
After that Jake celebrated as if he had dunk or Alley-oop in the game, it was very satisfying to give a pass that ends with the team's touchdown, so the Elite team was winning by 6 points.
After the team kicker still hit the kick and made an extra point, now the Elite team had 7 points lead against the opposing team in the game, Jake returned to the bench to rest happily and was congratulated by his teammates.
The opposing team failed to score in their chance to attack and punctured again after advancing more than 50 yards.
In this first quarter ended with neither team getting any points and the Elite team continued to win by 7 points, in the second quarter of the game the opposing team managed to score 3 points with a field goal.
Jake suffered Sack a few times because he had no play options and WR fumbled a few plays and the Elite team lost some chances to increase the lead.
In the middle of the third quarter the Elite team was just 30 yards from Endzone, Jake was starting to get tired of the pressure of the game even though he had plenty of time to rest between plays.
After two races they had advanced just 2 yards and Jake was in a dilemma about what to do, as the players were on vacation and we're just playing a friendly with a weaker team, Jake's offensive teammates were not taking the play very seriously.
Fortunately, the coach had a lot of control over the defensive team that was doing his part, so the Elite team was still winning the game, but the opposing team was seeing an opportunity to win with the inattentive offensive team.
Jake would only play this friendly as an Elite team football player, so he seriously trying to win differently from his teammates, so in this third race, Jake told the coach to put 3 WR into this play.
That would make it obvious that it was a pass attempt, but Jake thought the WRs were at least playing this game more seriously and he might have a better chance of getting another pass down.
Coach Jim had also realized the problem of the offensive team, but he could not solve it in the middle of the game and so agreed with Jake and put another WR on the field, the opponent had also made changes to defend themselves better.
But Jake thought the opposing team's defense was weaker and so they didn't have much flexibility to adapt to unexpected game changes, Jake also asked the incoming WR to be higher and the coach put the 2.03 WR in feet tall.
So after the play started and the taller WR ran diagonally from right to left, so Jake's TE blocked the opponent a bit and the WR got free and kept running.
Even so Jake held the pass as he saw that his teammates were able to hold their opponents longer, so Jake made the pass when a DE managed to pass and prepared to Sack Jake.
Two players from the opposing team were chasing after the highest WR and so Jake did the unexpected and went to the right-hand WR, even though the opposing CB did not expect Jake to give up the higher WR and passed the ball. what he was marking for.
The high pass that Jake made was very easy for WR to catch with his fingertips while jumping, it was so good that WR received the pass and still managed to stand and the opponent CB's front, so he kept running.
He ran as hard as he could yet be knocked down 4 yards before Endzone, so the Elite team would have 4 more chances to try the touchdown or Field goal, Jake was confident of getting it and asked the coach to keep the 3 WR for those attacks.
Since the RB no longer seemed to want to attack and make the moves Jake thought it was best to try riskier passes, but if he got one of the three passes would be enough for the touchdown.
In the first play, WR almost managed to catch the pass but dropped the ball and after struggling to maintain possession of the ball, so in the other play as they wondered which WR Jake would choose he decided to run left with the ball.
The DE realized that Jake was attempting the touchdown and decided to intercept Jake before he attempted the slide, but Jake had no thought of trying the slide and when the DE appeared for contact Jake had the ball under his left arm.
Endzone was only 4 yards away, but in Shotgun position, Jake received the ball a few yards back and so needed to run much harder to touchdown, Jake blocked the DE who weighed over 100 kg with his right arm making a Stiff Arm.
So Jake managed to protect the ball and made the touchdown for the Elite team, now the Elite team had 13 points and was 10 more than the opponent, the kicker missed the shot and missed the chance to get an extra point, but all they knew the game was decided.
Jake was happy to have made a touchdown, he used the fact that the RBs were unmotivated and asked for another WR for the coach, he asked for the highest WR and everyone thought Jake who had a good pass would use WR's height to get the touchdown.
So Jake got another breakthrough for the team by fooling opponents and even teammates, missing 4 yards. Jake kept the WR because he was thinking of using the 3 bait WR and getting a CB that could hinder his race to do the touchdown.
So he got the touchdown even risking the whole team attack, that could be bad for a normal QB, but Jake wasn't really from the football team and would just play this friendly, besides, he had made a good game and helped the authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
He always wanted to do a touchdown and couldn't miss that chance with the team winning, to ensure the touchdown Jake even used the Stiff Arm he had only seen on television to not risk the slide.
In the fourth quarter Jake managed to get the Elite team to less than 20 yards to Endzone, so Coach Jim who saw that the Elite team had already won decided to make a Field goal to end the game, the kicker redeemed himself and scored 3 more points and increased the score to 16 points.
So the opposing team also gave up trying to win the game and the game ended after a while with the Elite team winning 16-3, Jake left happy with this victory.
After the end of the game, Jake was tired and just wanted to go home, so after celebrating with some teammates that Jake had befriended he left home with Coach Jim saying that Jake should look for him the other day.
So Jake went home happy with this training after he got home he was very pleased with his own performance and after playing a game worthless he was much more excited.
Jake was feeling bad about having poor performances in both marathon and basketball, after all, it was hard for him to accept that he had a psychological problem when he went through everything he had before so playing well after resting for a while did very well for him.
The other day Jake couldn't go to school to talk to Coach Jim as he had promised because it was his birthday, he was so busy and thinking about everything that was happening that he even forgot his birthday.
But Eva hadn't forgotten, she knew Jake was going through some problems she didn't talk to her about, this year she knew they couldn't make the trip like every year because she was still busy with the restaurant.
So she at least wanted to celebrate Jake's birthday properly, so she called all of Jake's friends so he could forget about the problems, only Matthew couldn't come because he was in Europe tracking camera sales there.
Even though Tiffany and Clara who were in a lot of trouble showed up, Clara seemed to be feeling much better after being apart for so long, she was happier after knowing she could still count on her friends at a time like this.
So Jake was happy with the surprise and celebrated with his entire 17th birthday, after a simple celebration everyone congratulated Jake and went home, after all, they were very busy people.
"Thanks for that surprise mom."
"Glad you liked it, I didn't expect this surprise to work because you always pay attention to your birthday and mine, but it seems like you've been so worried about your things that you even forgot."
"You have nothing to worry about mom, I was training with some friends from the football team and so I forgot my birthday, nothing to worry about."
"I believe you were really coaching football, but your that you've been worried about something, but if you don't want to tell me okay, I just want you to remember that I'll always be with you and that you can always count on with me and say what is worrying you, after all, I am your mother."
After that Jake went to the bedroom to rest, he was happy to hear what his mother said, but still, he planned to say nothing about the problem he was passing to his mother, after all in a problem so she could not help anything besides giving support like she was already doing without knowing it.
Jake was now 17 years old and this year he would have to do many things, besides the national championship basketball games, he would still have some marathons to participate in and try to get into the Olympics that year.
Also, this would be his last semester at high school and his first semester at university, Jake just had to wait if Coach Bill could convince the university that Jake could continue sponsorship by himself as a marathon runner as well as a basketball player.
With Jake choosing North Caroline University, the school president asked all the NBA people and other basketball leagues who were trying to talk to Jake to quit, it was better for Jake not to end up offending some of those scouts.
The president didn't mind offending these people because he thought he had much more to gain from the universities than from the NBA teams.
So for Jake, this year of 1996 would be one of the busiest of her life, especially if Emily could finally find Jeff Bezos, so Jake would be much more relaxed knowing that his future would be guaranteed.
The other day Jake went to school to meet with Coach Jim, Jake had warned that he could not go the day the coach asked because it was his birthday and the coach even apologized to Jake.
"I called you here just to thank you, Jake, I knew you were tired after the friendly game, but I didn't expect you to have decided to play with us the day before your birthday, after all, it wasn't an important game."
"I was glad I played that game, not even I remembered that it was my birthday so it was my fault anyway."
Coach Jim really wanted Jake to play as his team's quarterback, he was jealous of Coach Mike who had a great player to lead the team and was still polite and humble.
Many talented players were arrogant with the coaches just for playing a few games well, most of these players did nothing openly, but talked badly about the coach with other teammates, which annoyed Coach Jim a lot.
A good example was the friendly game in which Jake helped the team, I could well say that as both team quarterbacks were injured that the team can only win the game thanks to Jake's good performance.
Even though the current football team was one of the best and even won the state championship a few years ago, the main reason for this was Coach Jim who had reorganized the team and the best defense for several years in a row.
But as it was a friendly game against a weaker team, the offensive team became arrogant and played very poorly and unwillingly in that game, fortunately, Jake had scored some points at the beginning of the game and then at the end with his passes and his touchdown.
So taking advantage that Jake can't come to training, Coach Jim did an analysis of the game with the players and stressed several times how the offensive team played badly and how he wouldn't accept them playing that way again.
So Coach Jim was happy even though Jake had joined his team for just a friendly match, so Coach wanted the players to say goodbye to Jake who would no longer come to the football team training.
"Coach, could you hear a request from me?"
"Of course Jake, if I will do what you ask if it is within my reach."
"I wanted to ask permission to come a few times to train with the football team, just the physical training, it's very useful to increase my strength."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"Of course, you will always be welcome here."
So Jake just said goodbye briefly to the other players of the team, so Jake could continue doing the football team training that was much more helpful in increasing his strength statistics.
As Jake would not participate in the training drills and other things would not disturb the football team, otherwise, Coach Jim would have to refuse Jake's request.
After settling everything with the football team Jake left school and decided to take a walk around town, so he enjoyed the rest of the day at the beach and went to the mall to buy something to give to his mother when he got home.
How used to it Jake walked by the music store and bought a new CD from Kate, as he had promised her when they saw each other in Jake's rehearsals, whenever he could he would go to the mall and buy a CD if he had one Kate's new album.
Contrary to what he thought she was a great singer and seemed to be very popular in current POP music, now she was 18 years old and looked like she would run for some music awards this year, even if Jake wasn't a big fan of music in his life Last time Jake found it odd that he didn't remember her name.
Even though he knew he would not meet Kate again he was glad to at least know of a good singer to catch up with now, after he bought a gift for his mother Jake left.
Jake wanted to take this vacation to rest well for next year, so he didn't do any more training after recovering from his training injury with the football team, Jake could do it because the system could always leave his physical condition at the peak even though he did nothing.
But that way he couldn't improve either, luckily Jake still had his imagination training that was given by the system, in this training dimension he could train every day and always accumulate experience and improve in basketball.
The other day Jake had to give up his plan to just rest on vacation, John called Jake and it looked like he had arranged with Alan for them to make a new advertisement with Jake together.
It would not only be an advertisement for two companies like Tiffany and Clara did, but it would be the same day that he would record both advertisements and they would buy the same advertising space on television, just as Jake appearing more his brands would also be more remembered.
As Jake had agreed when he signed the sponsorship agreement, he could not refuse it, in fact, John and Alan did not know that Jake was trying to take advantage of his running in marathons to continue sponsorship at the university.
So they thought they were in the last months of the sponsorship deal with Jake, yet they were very pleased with this more than a year of sponsorship that could end after the national ballet championship.
After all, they sponsored Jake for basketball and Jake still managed to win and then run second in two major marathons which were a great surprise for companies that were betting by sponsoring Jake who was still in high school.
After all, they hoped the sponsorship would last only a year because if Jake went to college to play basketball he couldn't get sponsorship and if he joined the NBA it would be their company that couldn't afford to raise the value of sponsorship for Jake.
Now they were even more fortunate because Jake was expected to get a seat in the Atlanta Olympics, even if Jake didn't win at a young age representing his country he would surely be known for.
After a few days Jake went to record both John and Alan's corporate commercials, he went to the same place where he recorded the commercial for Tiffany and Clara's companies, of course, that was because Jake recommended them.
John and Alan knew that Jake was a little famous now and would be even more so after this year and unlike the Tiffany and Clara companies they had been given a big budget to record a great commercial that could be used for a few years.
So they wanted to use a well-known advertising company to record this commercial and so guarantee the quality, but as Jake had recommended they decided to give a small company a chance to do a good job.
This small advertising company was bigger than before and had some success in some commercials, but as Jake was famous and brought two companies to make one commercial they still made a lower budget, so John and Alan, as well as their business, we're very pleased with it.
Before he started recording the commercials for the companies Jake toured the company premises and other studios, but he couldn't find Kate again, Jake knew it was impossible to happen again by coincidence.
But Jake trusted that his luck could help and he could find Kate again, but that didn't happen, in fact, he even thought that as Kate was famous now she should work with a larger advertising company now.
He didn't even know why he decided to look for her, after all, they had only spoken once, Jake thought it must be because it was nice to meet someone famous and went back to prepare for the recording.
The recording of the first commercial would be John's company, it would be similar to several commercials that Jake saw in his past life, the company that was recording the commercial called several actors to impersonate athletes and Jake was the one that stood out.
There were some scenes of Jake firing some shots off and hitting and other scenes of Jake running, in the end, everyone takes a can of energy drink from the company and smiles at the camera while holding the can and were sweaty after playing sports.
After they put up a slogan showing that the energy drinks company supported sports, Jake thought it was very simple and didn't look very good, but as the company that recorded the commercial and John found it very good, he said nothing.
In fact, the commercial was good by the time it was recorded, Jake was the one who was used to more elaborate commercials in his past life, but he didn't know that the purpose of John and the company that was recording the commercial was to send a message. positive for the commercial while the focus of the commercial was Jake who was handsome and would be famous as an athlete.
Then Jake took a break while the recording crew prepared to make the second commercial, as Jake had learned to act a little in his past life was so easy for him to make a simple, speechless commercial without making mistakes.
What Jake didn't know was that there was a famous movie director in Hollywood who was watching Jake making these commercials, like someone from New York and with good memory this director remembered seeing a Jake commercial on television a few years ago.
He also remembered that Jake had recently come second in the New York Marathon and on the broadcast said that Jake had won a marathon in Chicago and was a basketball player.
As a film director, he didn't care much about sports, but he thought Jake was very handsome and that he had an elegant style to be an actor and had a talent for acting, of course, he thought he could give only simple characters in movies for Jake to play.
Athletes who performed in even talentless movies could lure their fans into the cinema and increase box office, and Jake could still perform normally which would be best for him if Jake could win a few more marathons or join the NBA would be a big blow. publicist having Jake in his movies.
Jake who didn't realize he was being watched began preparing to record another commercial, this one even though it was still simple Jake thought it was more elaborate than the previous one.
In this Jake was in the room facing the door of the house, so he bends down and gets ready to go out for a run, first, he who is already in sportswear takes a sports bag and puts a towel and a bottle of water inside from the bag.
Then he puts on his socks and running shoes, so he looks around as if checking if he has forgotten something and leaves the house, after a few moments he comes back with the bag and goes to the bathroom and gets a shaver from Alan's company and says 'now I'm ready', and then I grab the bag and run out of the house.
The commercial was trying to show that shaving was also important for an athlete not to be sloppy at home, after all, it was a necessary kind of hygiene for athletes who always seek to improve performance.
Jake again made the whole scene that was long without making any mistakes, it made them finish faster and also that the commercial seemed more natural, even the watching movie director approved of Jake's authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
After that Jake, who had already finished recording, left for home while John and Alan stayed behind to arrange some more, Jake didn't know that these commercials were what would finally make him famous.
After all, Jake had always appeared in the media for many years, but this year he would have a lot of exposure with these two commercials, marathon races, the Olympics, and maybe even college basketball games.
After that, Jake just rested at home and on the last day of vacation Emily finally came up with good news for Jake, she hoped she could get it much sooner, but she had the investment firm to take care of and so she was late.
"I finally found who you were looking for, Jake, he's really starting a business that sells books like eBay, I don't know if it can succeed as you expect, but I got his phone number and address for you."
Jake just laughed at that, Amazon sold books online, so it was completely different, but in the future, it would also sell several other products, so Jake found it funny that Emily had accidentally predicted the future.
Emily thought Jake was laughing at her, after all, she didn't do much research about the company Jeff Bezos started because Jake had just asked her to find the person and not investigate what that person was doing.
"You did a good job Emily, I swear you just delayed because you were worried about company and stock investments, but even though it's a lot of money you don't have to check it all the time."
"Just look at the stock change record after the stock market closes, only after 1999 I think we will have to be more careful with those stocks."
Emily trusted Jake, but thought Jake was too confident and that could cause him to lose millions in the future, after all, she learned the stock market was a risky market where the investor always has to be alert to the indications that the stock may fall.
It wasn't like a risk-free investment like savings where you can just leave the money there for a few years and then withdraw when you wanted to, Emily thought Jake had a lot of talent for the stock market, which is why he was making so much money Having nothing before.
So she thought that as Jake's secretary it was her job to take care of the details Jake set aside, which is why Jake decided to give Emily a percentage of stock, talented and loyal people were what Jake would need in the future.
But Jake was certainly not careless about the stock, in his past life he was also like Emily and checked the stock value several times a day for any sign before selling or buying more stock.
Now Jake was calm because he knew what the future would be, but since he couldn't tell anyone that, it was better than people thought he was arrogant.
In addition, Emily's father and his friends invested $ 30 million in Jake's investment firm, so even though he knew everything was going as expected it was really good that Emily and her company's employees were always on the lookout for moves of the stock market.
So investors would be reassured that Emily and the others were really dedicated to taking care of their money, so Jake wasted no more time and called Jeff Bezos's office to talk to him.
Jake identified himself as an investor and said he wanted to talk to Jeff Bezos when possible, the company secretary asked if Jake wanted to schedule a meeting, but since Jake was in Miami that was not possible, so he had to wait to talk later over the phone with Jeff Bezos.
By late afternoon his call could finally be made and he would talk to Jeff on the phone, Jake was nervous when the moment finally came, it wasn't just because Jeff Bezos was famous in the future, but that depending on what they talked on the phone was very Jake could become one of the richest men in the future.
"Hi here is Jeff speaking, who is it?"
"Hi Jeff, my name is Jake Smith and I'm from Miami."
"And what would you like to talk to me about, Jake?"
"I've been investing in technology companies for a few years, I have a feeling this time is great to invest in these companies and make money."
"But as much as I can earn from big business is very little, even 30 million don't make the company pay attention to me."
"So I wanted to invest in a start-up tech company that I felt had great potential, so I've heard about your company, I think the idea of selling books online is very good and can make it very successful."
"And I think your company might develop a lot in the future, so I'd like to talk to you about the possibility of me investing in your business, what do you think about that?"
