Chapter 198 New Challenges 3
As for the economics and business books he had read them for over 10 years if he counted his two lives, there was not much else he could learn from the books.
After he did this by continuing with his perfect grades he finally got the recognition of all the teachers who considered him a student model for all classrooms, seeing that Jake regretted a little for being so adamant and insistent on taking the books to the classes in the past.
Even if he wasn't wrong, it wasn't right to want to complicate things with the teachers, at least he had learned everything he wanted before finishing school, even though those hours a day in the classroom might seem like a waste of time when he got around. It was as busy as Jake.
He knew well that after this time passed he would miss it all, another thing that also changed was that now many of Jake's classmates were asking him for advice about things they didn't understand in class.
Before, everyone was afraid to ask Jake that he had problems with the teachers and seemed not to study in class, but after they started asking they were surprised to find that Jake was a great teacher.
Even Joseph who thought Jake didn't study was sorry for not asking Jake for help before, so many of his classmates had their grades improved long after Jake's tips.
Even though it seemed like Jake didn't study now, it was because he had already studied hard in his past life, besides studying hard at school when he was this age he studied after the older ones over the internet, and the summarized teaching videos were much better than the lessons. normal to learn.
Those with the worst grades and wanting to go to a good university even asked Jake for help after school, but he had to deny it because he was so much busier out of school than at school.
After classes Jake returned to his training with the basketball team, everyone was happy that Jake had a great achievement breaking this record, with these two games all relaxed a lot and forgot the concerns of the team.
But after all the excitement was over they remembered that they were in the state championship semifinal again and so the games would get harder and harder, even if they were the favorites to win the championship surprises could always happen as their opponent in the regional championship that was able to reach the national championship.
Who was not very happy with these two games in which Jake was trying to break the record were Nathan and Lucas, both were very happy for Jake as they were very cheering for him but knew they missed good opportunities to prove themselves to coach Mike.
After all, in these two games, neither the attack nor the defense mattered much, just everything was being done so that Jake could score over 100 points and break the record so Coach Mike didn't even bother putting Nathan and Lucas to play in those two games.
So they missed two opportunities to show that they could do more as a starter in the national championship, of course even David and Harrison didn't make much money from those two games either, but as they were already starting out they weren't losing much on that.
Although Jake didn't know that Nathan and Lucas were sad about it, he knew he had been selfish in these two games, so in training he did his best to help his teammates improve, always giving tips when he could.
Coach Mike thought it was very good because it served to relax some players who were very tense to compete for positions in the team and also to try the second national championship in a row.
The president was also insisting that the team had to work harder to win this national championship, Elite school was not a school known for being strong in sports, but with new investments, they won 2 national championships in a row from high school.
Many new talents went to school so after a year's break the team had been able to win another national championship and were heading to win one more, together with Jake's record this year they were to be placed as one of stronger schools in high school basketball.
Also, many talented players joined the Middle School team and they were fighting for the third national championship in less than 5 years, players like Nathan and Lucas were joining the team next year again.
In addition to basketball training, Jake was struggling with his home bodybuilding workouts, he had abandoned the treadmill after he started training to run the marathon, but he could feel that his strength was falling behind in his physical statistics.
Even though at the moment the agility and endurance statistics were more important to him in his two works, he could not give up on increasing his strength, because he could not forget that the system said that the strength statistic could increase his strength rate. mid-range shots and outside shots.
Jake had a dream of getting more than 60 percent hit on the outside shots at least if he got 80 percent was much better, but for that, he would have to have at least 60 points in strength statistics.
After all Jake learned that he enjoyed basketball in his past life in the wheelchair by shooting outside, in the NBA, too, he knew that in the beginning, he could no longer easily make his individual plays and layup and dunk in plays.
All of his opponents will be high-level players and will not allow it, so Jake would have to rely on outside shots and mid-range shooting early in his NBA career to make his points.
But just bodybuilding wasn't helping, he could now earn 1-2 statistics points a year, so it would take almost 15 years for him to have the statistics he wanted in strength, you couldn't count on it.
In his marathon running training, Jake was also dissatisfied with his improvement, he was able to run 46 km at a speed of 2 minutes and 56 seconds per km, but it had been two weeks with this training and so he could not run the 50 km at that time before the New York Marathon.
Jake knew how important it was to be confident for such a marathon, so he could run smoothly, any distraction could make Jake lose pace in the marathon and thus lose the race.
But that was his normal improvement with training, he was improving fast earlier because of his pride in winning a marathon without using the stamina bar Jake had awakened his potential and so was improving in training quickly.
After all Jake was already at the height of marathon competition after winning in Chicago, so he could earn system stats points as a reward, the system even acknowledged that it was difficult to improve with training and so gave reward points to motivate Jake to keep improving and break new records.
Of course, since the system was something that helped him push his limits, he could still improve by training normally, but Jake was only 16 now, even if he took 10 years of running under 2 hours a whole marathon would be awesome.
Jake was just being impatient now, he still had the statistics he could earn at major marathons, and when he got to the NBA with basketball, it wouldn't take him ten years to beat those records.
So Jake was thinking of doing what the system was against in the beginning, participating in various sports and having various jobs to improve his statistics faster, thankfully Jake was holding on for now.
The system wanted Jake to learn to be patient and to learn that the way to be the best in all sports was his skills and not his physical statistics were the same for jobs like Jake's Businessman.
If he increased his Charm, Leadership and Eloquence statistics to the maximum he could get any contract he wanted even if conditions were unfair to his business partner.
Jake could win over many women and make the biggest businessmen like Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Steve Jobs accept working for him with these statistics, which is why the system gave no rewards for these missions.
If Jake alone could raise these statistics to the fullest it would be his merit, of course, Jake didn't know about it himself, so Jake always depended on his intelligence to do his business and his people who weren't even in the system.
After another week of training, the state championship semi-final game had arrived, but perhaps the opponents were startled by Jake's two consecutive 120-plus-point records and the Elite team easily won the game.
Jake had a good grip on this game and scored just 24 points, he also got 18 assists and 12 steals with one triple-double, so Jake had 25 games in a row doing triple-double, many couldn't even do that much in life as a player. basketball and that's why Jake thought it was a good record.
Nathan and Lucas entered this match in the third period, but as the opponents looked scared they could not be as prominent as the opponent nor attacked, so the Elite team also respected the opponent and won with an advantage of only 20 points.
But everyone knew that it was impossible for the final game to be that easy, as both teams could win the state championship and enter the national championship if they only won the game, and the Elite team had a history of players with poor performance in games. important, that was an added hope for the opposing team.
After the game, the Elite team had to retrain for the final and Jake was also close to the marathon, so it would be a lively week for everyone.
