Chapter 371 Business and Basketball 5
The restaurant was a huge success since opening and never had any problems, Eva didn’t need any money knowing that Jake was a millionaire and only worked at the restaurant because he liked it, so he decided to close for Christmas and let the employees rest with their family.
So Anna could also spend Christmas with them as a family, Jake was very happy when she heard that his mother did it and thought it was very good for the other employees too, as she can do it in advance custors already knew the restaurant would be closed a few days earlier.
Even so, when Jake ca ho on the 21st Eve still had to stay at the restaurant for the next 2 days, so Jake could also continue training on those days to get even better this rest week.
Jake didn’t want to bother Matthew and Oliver that they should be busy with the business of the company that had to close the balance sheet by the end of the year, this ti Jake didn’t need money like last year and didn’t want to bother Matthew before he had the company’s official earnings report.
He also knew that Tiffany and Clara were very busy with their business this holiday season, in fact, they were busy with their business all year long, having lost several years without being able to invest and just keep selling well because of Jake’s popularity, this year was much busier for them.
The truth was that even Clara often thought that the company would eventually be sold to the competitor because of her incompetence and Tiffany who always supported Clara felt bad about it too.
Jake knew this and so decided to help themselves out having to lose a lot of money for it, but after that Jake felt that Tiffany and Clara were no longer as close to him as they were before, maybe they saw him as a business partner and not as just a friend as it was before.
Jake had heard that actually Tiffany and Clara didn’t really like having male friends and even with Matthew and Oliver they had only professional contacts and not as friends, so now that Jake grew up and was no longer a child, like before they no longer had one. quiet relationship with him.
Of course, this was just a theory Jake thought after hearing a lot of things and seeing that it seed like they were ignoring him last year, it could also be that they were so busy after he recorded the comrcials that they didn’t have ti to talk to him.
Jake hoped his theories were wrong, or else he would lose two of the best friends he ever had, by the middle of next year the sponsorship deal would end if Jake joined the NBA and after that Jake would see if they were still friends as before.
For the next few days Jake spent a few quiet days just doing his training in the morning, on Christmas Day Anna ca with so people from the restaurant, Matthew, Oliver, and Joseph also just ca to enjoy Christmas.
It seed that Joseph was much calr this ti and understood that he had done wrong on his last vacation, and he himself talked with Jake for a while about what had happened at his university.
Joseph was doing very well in class even though he didn’t get as good grades as when Jake helped him with his studies, it seed like he was really fine with Liza and even they studying at different universities made them less in love.
It seed that Oliver had spoken to Liza honestly about the idea of her doing therapy and surprisingly Liza agreed with Oliver that she needed it and started therapy to beco a better person to be with Joseph.
This was an idea that had been suggested by Jake a few years ago because he really thought it would be the best, and it seed that he was right because Oliver said Liza was really improving her personality and even encouraging Joseph to improve as a person.
So everyone made money on it and so Matthew and Oliver now started to like Liza very much and approved her to stay with Joseph because with her he was really getting better, so the two also thanked Jake who ca up with the idea.
Joseph told Jake that he was also able to make so friends at the university and was spending his ti there, Jake was very happy to know that Joseph was doing so well at the university and that they were still friends after that.
Jake was very happy to spend Christmas and these days at ho with family and also his friends, he was sad because Tiffany and Clara did not accept the invitation to appear at this party because they were busy with work, but it was still a great day to him.
After that Jake spent another day at ho and went back to college again and had a little party with his friends after Christmas, even though Jake had offered to buy their plane tickets to visit their family for Christmas no one accepted and they spent Christmas at Zack’s house.
Because everyone studied away from ho, Zack’s family who had great people beca their family, Jake always went ho on holidays, but sotis he would go to Zack’s family ho on weekends.
Zack’s family was very fond of Jake because everyone realized that Zack was happier and healthier after he started running with Jake, as Jake still helped Zack study he was the perfect friend that anyone’s family liked.
After a week of Christmas and rest for all the players the next day they were ready for the next ga, this was a ga that Jake rembered would be tricky for the Tar Heels team to win.
Jake didn’t know if the team was more relaxed after a week of rest and Christmas, but the Tar Heels team would win this ga only in extra ti, so he didn’t underestimate his opponent and was prepared for a tough ga.
Jake spoke with the team the day before the ga and with Coach Guthridge also for them to expect a tough ga and prepare to do their best in the next ga, Coach Guthridge and the players knew that Jake wasn’t soone who exaggerated and by they worried about the next ga.
After a few hours, both teams were ready for the ga to begin, the opponent for this ga was Georgia Bulldogs, this team had a great last season and did not do so well at the end of the season.
This season they would not play so well this season despite having a good result at the end, everyone expected the Tar Heels team to win this ga easily, especially after the last ga with a good performance by Jake, Jamison, and Carter.
"Welco everyone, let’s follow another ga this season, it’s the ga between the Tar Heels team and the Georgia Bulldogs team."
"It is expected that in this ga the Tar Heels team will achieve an easy win and further increase this 12-win streak, but only after the ga can we know if this will happen."
"What do you think about this ga?"
"I think the Tar Heels team have the advantage, the team has been doing well since the last season they won the NCAA title, this season the team has been playing as well or even better than last season."
"In the last ga the offensive team Tar Heels trio had another good ga with Carter playing well again, but the Georgia Bulldogs team also has a good team and has a lot of ability to surprise in that ga and beat the Tar Heels team."
The ga started in a few minutes of play everyone would realize that the ga would not be as easy as everyone expected before, the Tar Heels team attack was fine with Jamison, Carter, and Jake playing well.
The problem was that the defense of team Tar Heels was a little weaker in today’s ga, and the Georgia Bulldogs players were playing very well in attack and also in defense.
Even if they didn’t stop the Tar Heels team from scoring points like other teams with better defenses, they could still hinder Tar Heels’s attacks, so much was also rited by Georgia Bulldogs.
In this ga Jake could not relax and had to work harder in defense and also make the three-point shots when he had the opportunity, if he could Jake did not want to take this ga over ti and if he could it was better to win the ga normally.
To do that Jake had to do more than he normally did in defense and continue to perform well in attack, seeing Jake’s effort the other players of the team Tar Heels also began to work harder to press defense and prevent the attacks of the team Georgia Bulldogs.
Jamison and Carter were also good at offense and along with Williams and Okulaja gave Jake more play options and made it difficult for Georgia Bulldogs to defend, it could be said that even though the team was poor defending, it was still recovering from the attack.
At the end of the first quarter, Tar Heels ended up winning the ga with a slight lead on the scoreboard, which made the Georgia Bulldogs players more excited for the second quarter having the opportunity to win the ga.
In that first quarter, Jake played for 20 minutes and scored 16 points, 4 assists, 5 rebounds, 6 steals, and 2 blocks, with a more defense-focused first quarter Jake managed to prevent Georgia Bulldogs from making so plays that could end in points.
Even though Jake still perford well on attack relying more on the three-point play as in recent gas, Jake had a not very high average of 10 shots of three points per ga but hit more than 70 percent of off shots in all gas.
