Chapter 211 New Business 4
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."
"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't.playing 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.
