Chapter 95 National Championship 7
After hearing that Jake had won Eva was very pleased, she was very worried about this particular ga, despite being confident in Jake’s ability, Eva could not forget what happened last year in which although she was confident the team your son still lost.
It was good that in the next ga she could go personally to watch the ga, it was very distressing for her to have to wait at ho for news of her son, in that final ga even if he asked her not to be Eva would still, for her this ga it was so important that it was like Jake’s graduation from Middle School.
When the first week went by Jake knew that many of his acquaintances had confird presence for this ga, Joseph would go with his father Oliver to see the final and Anna also confird that he would when he heard of Eva’s important ga.
Tiffany and Clara had confird that they would go to this ga too, the two of them were happy mainly because of Jake’s success and the realization of his desire to be closer to winning the national championship, and they were happy because they knew that only Jake was in the final of this championship was already a great promotion for both companies.
As well as friends of Jake and like the representatives of the companies that sponsor him both had to attend this ga even though because of the improvents of the companies they were very busy.
But what made Jake truly surprised and happy was that his teammates at his old school last year said they would also go to the ga to see Jake be the champion of the national championship.
He was happy that his teammates from last year would go to that ga to support him, which Jake did not know was that although he was not happy with his team’s results last year, his teammates were very pleased with the who succeeded and were grateful to Jake who was responsible for all the good that happened.
In those weeks before the gas, Jake did sothing different from what he usually did and trained every day with his teammates, so everyone saw that his captain was struggling more than they did which gave a great deal of encouragent to all Team workout more.
Coach Mike also passed several instructions on what the players could do in so hypothetical situations that could happen in the final so they would not be nervous and also went through the tactics trained earlier so there were no mistakes in the final.
Jake had to admit that he admired Coach Mike’s knowledge, he thought that soone with that ability despite not being able to get to train any college team was at least good enough to train his high school team, that left him curious who the school chose to train the high school team with all that investnt made.
In that ti he also took ti to talk and play chess with Oliver, even though the two beca really friends Jake and Oliver were very busy people, often Oliver also had important business to solve in his company.
After all, even if lawyers have a lot more ti to stay ho sotis cases start to accumulate and have to be resolved, even the rich sotis have lawsuits that they have to resolve.
Jake also after he got sponsorship and decided to travel on vacation with his mother did not have much free ti either, but as a major ga was coming Jake wanted to play so chess with a friend to relax a bit.
And so the days went by and the day of the final ca, in the morning Eva was again preparing a breakfast full of things to eat, Jake also felt that her mother’s food had gotten much better after a few weeks that she began to do those classes.
Jake was sitting on the couch staring at the wall with red-faced eyes for not having slept well last night, no matter how confident he was in his team it was impossible for him not to be nervous and eager for this end ga that was the last chance to be champion of the national championship.
Probably both teams and the two coaches would be the sa, Jake was able to relax a little after even his mother was more relaxed for that ga.
"Jake you have to be calr, I know better than anyone how much you trained and did your best to get to this end, now it’s no use getting nervous, I know you can win this ga and I’ll be there to see."
"Thank you, Mom, I do not know why I’m so nervous, so it’s no use trying to be quiet on my own, as I’ve fallen asleep now, I do not care, I just know that when the ga starts I’ll calm down."
Eva also knew what her son was like and just smiled and said nothing else, then they had breakfast and went to the ga site together.
After arriving there Jake greeted the coach and all his teammates and began to warm up, the two teams had already arrived even though it was still a long ti before the ga started.
When it was not enough ti for the final to begin Jake called all his teammates to give a word before the ga began.
"I do not know what all the reasons were for you to bring your families to Miami and go to Elite school, but one thing I know, all of you who are here love basketball and want to be the national champions as much as I am."
"Do not treat this as the journey of this season, for all of us here the path we went through until this final did not start this season, but throughout all our 3 years of Middle School."
"I do not know if any of you intend to be a professional player in the future, but I want you to rember that if we win that ga in 1992, we’ll be the best basketball players in the world of our age."
"It will be a glory that can be rembered throughout our lives, so let’s give our best in every minute of this ga, I will not keep anything and play my best and I hope the sa of each of you, we will win."
After Jake finished speaking they were all very excited and the morale got to the maximum they could, they had the confidence that their team was the best and they trusted their champion who was the best player and today would do their best then it was just to play and win.
After making the speech and everyone vow to finish warming up, Jake called David to the corner once more.
"David, I’m counting on you in this ga, I know you’re good, even if you can not do a lot in defense, pay in the attack, and use all the energy you have to make better plays and do not get lost in that ga."
"You can trust , in this ga I’m going to give my best, I want to be the best in the world after that ga too."
So Jake was pleased he was not lying when he said that if they could win today they would be the best in the world in their age range, so Jake the United States was the place with the best basketball players in the world, so the best were the best in the world.
Everyone in the stands were cheering and very excited for this particular ga, many reporters had also co to make the coverage of the final if the players could make dunks also this ga could even be broadcast on television.
Nobody else thought that the Elite team did not deserve to be in the final and much of the stand even praised them, it was cool to see a dark horse co to the final, it was a team nobody knew and so nobody even the Miami dia expected them could reach so far.
Who was happier in the stands beside Clara and Tiffany was Eric, just for having co to this ga without ntioning that he expected the Elite team to win this ga the matter was already guaranteed and so he had won a lot with his bet to follow the team since the first ga of the regional.
It was a matter that would be seen across the country now after it was published, Eric was now more than convinced that following Jake was the right decision he made, after that matter, his position as a journalist would be more consolidated, and in so years he felt he could again cover Jake’s gas.
Then when the ga was about to begin Jake went to his seat and put on the bandana, the bracelet, the arm protector and the protective equipnt on the knee and cinnamon all with the trademark of the companies, the referee just took a look at it and left in peace, now the uniform that had a shirt and blue shorts was with several blank equipnts in the arms, legs, and head.
Although knowing that they were protective equipnt would not be prohibited by the referee he decided to just put everything just before the ga, so nobody would have ti to say anything, and he was right, probably if he had co to the court that way the referee was asked to take this out before the ga.
