Chapter 324 1997 NCAA Division I n“s Basketball Tournant 12
"Thanks, I’m glad to see you both here, John and Alan."
"Of course I would co, you are one of the best college basketball players and also one of the players who have the most potential to beco an NBA star, plus you still have your marathon achievents, it was very lucky for company to sign a contract with you."
"I agree, my company just wanted to know what it was like to have a sports rep of ours, after all, a razor company doesn’t have much to do with athletes, but after having this contract with you our company is selling more than ever."
"Of course I know that we are selling so well because we are sponsoring you and it wouldn’t work out so well with other athletes, but it was the best investnt our company has made in recent years and I got a lot of promotions from my work for it."
Jake was also very happy to have John and Alan as representatives of his sponsors, even though he didn’t need that money was very supportive and Jake received a lot of confidence getting so much money even though he is not an NBA player.
"Plus, with our investnt in last year’s comrcials we won’t have to make any new comrcials over the next two years, so we just have to keep the comrcials being broadcast on television."
"Do you think your team is likely to win the NCAA tournant this year?"
"I think our team is a favorite for this final if the players on my team play well and it doesn’t happen like yesterday’s ga I have confidence that we will be the champions."
Jake was very confident because in his past life the team they defeated in the last ga would be the winning team, just as Jake playing the Tar Heels team was a favorite to win this final.
This made John and Alan more reassured and confident about the victory of Team Tar Heels because everyone who cheered for Team Tar Heels beca more worried after the last ga, but they knew that if Jake was confident it was quite possible that the team Tar Heels won because Jake led the team to the victories.
"And are you ready for the marathons you will have on your vacation? Just give a list of which marathons you will want to attend that I sign you up, I have already received several important marathon invitations inviting you to participate, but as you told to just refuse during the season I am just refusing."
"I do intend to participate in several marathons, after all, I am also a marathon runner and I love running and I am not just a basketball player, if I do not run even this year I am in college I can not even think about continuing to compete when I am in the NBA."
John was very happy to hear that, he could imagine how tiring it was to play a whole season like college basketball which is so much more intense and more gas than in other sports.
Alan didn’t care much about that, but John knew that besides the incredible talent Jake was most special about was that he could compete at a high level in two major sports like basketball and athletics, so if Jake gave up running because he really didn’t need to he would lose part of what made him special.
After that Jake talked to them for so ti and returned to university, the evening he went to et Tiffany and Clara who also wanted to congratulate Jake who reached the NCAA tournant final.
After they talked about the comrcials Jake was going to record after a few months and about Clara’s company, Jake found it interesting that Clara was really thinking of doing like Matthew and giving half of the profit share to the shareholders and investing in the company only half.
Even though Clara didn’t like Robert very much she realized how he and the other shareholders were happy to receive a good profit share as dividends and not just have to wait to see the company’s stock appreciate in order to increase assets.
Jake understood that well, but he was also not against Clara’s previous thod of investing all the company’s profits again and not delivering dividends to shareholders, after all, that was what Amazon was doing for over 20 years and so she was has beco one of the largest companies in the world.
Jake thought that a company only paid dividends when it no longer intended to develop much or if the entire structure of the company was developed and the company did not need all the profit to continue developing.
Typically top tech companies were an example of this or could continue to invest in other dia and find other ways to increase the company’s influence and sell more products as Amazon does.
After they talked for a while before Jake left to prepare for the ga the other day, they had a nice conversation, but it was much less comfortable talking the three together than when it’s just two people, many subjects can’t be talked about.
Even though Jake was happy to have Tiffany and Clara watching their final ga, he would also have his roommates and Eva along with Anna, almost all of his friends and closest people who could co to watch the ga.
Matthew and Oliver couldn’t co because they were busy with their jobs, who Jake hopes would co and didn’t co was Eric, even though a few years ago Eric said he would no longer cover high school and university gas as a reporter, as a friend Eric could appear in so Jake gas.
He understood that Eric might be busy with his work and might not be able to co watch the ga, but at least as a friend he could have called Jake to wish him good luck, Joseph didn’t expect it because his friend didn’t like it and basketball
The other day ca the day of the Tar Heels team final at the NCAA tournant, it was Jake’s first university final and well into his freshman year, even though he expected it when he decided to play for the Tar Heels team he was still looking forward to it.
Jake wanted to win this year because, in addition to adding a lot to his career and the fact that he didn’t like to lose, he found it important to take the pressure off him to win an NCAA tournant, he would be much more relaxed next season and he was sure that with the whole team would be the sa.
Coach Smith said a few more things to the team before the ga and highlighted how important this ga was to the Tar Heels team and to all the players, after which everyone was more excited but nervous about the ga.
After a few hours, the two teams were almost ready for this final ga, Jake could see where his mother was with Anna, but couldn’t see Tiffany and Clara as well as their other sponsors.
Seeing that Eva ca for this ga Jake was much more thrilled and motivated to win this ga, he hoped his team would be a favorite because they beat the team that should have won this ga.
But the opposing team was also very strong and had an almost better season than the Tar Heels team, the opposing team in this ga would be the Kentucky Wildcats team, in Jake’s opinion this was the team with the best cast of players having 6 players who would play in the NBA in the future.
The Kentucky Wildcats team ca with an initial lineup consisting of Ron rcer, Anthony Epps, Scott Padgett, Nazr Mohamd, and Caron Mills, players Wayne Turner and Jamaal Magloire would also play, but for a shorter ti and didn’t score much.
For this difficult ga Coach Smith decided to use a more offensive initial formation putting Williams in place of Okulaja, in the past ga as Williams did not play long and did not have many opportunities to shoot off Coach Smith did not know he could play very bad.
Jake was fine with that because he knew nothing of what could happen in this ga, so he would have to rely on his teammates to help him lead the team to win Heights and beco champions of the NCAA tournant after today’s ga.
Everyone was determined to do their best because this was the last and most important ga of the season, after this ga everyone would be on vacation so they could play until they were completely tired.
"And finally we are here, the last ga of this season and the NCAA tournant final, two great teams have co to this ga with incredible seasons, the Tar Heels team had 35 gas and won 33 gas losing only 2 of them."
"In addition, the Tar Heels team cos from an incredible 24 straight streak, they don’t lose well over half of the season and even with an amazing team, they have a key highlight for this campaign which is the freshman Jake who has been doing one of the best debuts in college basketball history."
"Jake has been breaking a number of records and in this ga is the player who gives the most security for the team Tar Heels to win today’s ga."
"On the other side we have the Kentucky Wildcats team who have also had a great season so far, they have had 39 gas so far and have 35 wins and 4 losses so far, they lost more than the Tar Heels team, but just because they had more gas."
"It’s true I rarely saw two teams coming to the NCAA tournant final as a favorite and with great seasons like them, plus the Kentucky Wildcats team cast is also very good and if it wasn’t for Jake could be the best cast in the ga of today."
"I also think the Tar Heels team is a favorite because Jake is on the team, but if the Tar Heels team players play as badly as they did last ga, it will be hard to know who will win today’s ga."
