Chapter 455 Jake Vacations 7

Jake thought it would certainly be a big nightmare if it were really like that in reality, playing with opponents who were better than him in almost every skill and knew how to use their skills better.

But it did a little to take away all the arrogance that Jake had being the first pick in the NBA draft and winning several individual awards at College basketball, Jake had to learn that even if he had good skills he would still start as an NBA rookie.

It was certainly difficult for other talented players to learn this lesson in humility as Jake learned before he even joined the NBA, but it would probably make teammates find him more enjoyable if he was humble in the beginning.

Of course, Jake still had the same dreams and still thought he wanted to win several NBA titles and be the MVP in several seasons, but he didn't need to think about getting it in his first NBA seasons.

So for him to spend more than an hour doing three-point shots on his court it was much more relaxing than the training he normally did, Jake was also developing another special move for when he had to play in the NBA.

It was a special three-point shooting movement that was different from the way he normally did, but if Jake managed after a lot of training to have the same hit percentage as he had to do the three-point shot it was usually very good.

This was a move he thought after doing this imagination training with opponents who were very good at blocks, and with this move, it was impossible for an opponent to block without missing Jake.

But Jake thought that this move could only be done better if he had more stats points in strength, even so, he could use it in games against opponents who were very good at blocks and were defending against him.

After relaxing with the three-point shots, Jake can go home and sleep peacefully, the other day Jake went too early to do his normal training that he had to continue, especially now that he felt he was really getting better with this training.

Jake had already recovered completely from the tiring run he had done on the last day just as he thought and after doing the warm-up exercises Coach Davis arrived, Coach Davis was also excited after Jake's training on the last day.

He couldn't help thinking that he was Jake's trainer who could win several gold medals in the marathons and in the 10,000 meters in the next Olympics and Jake could still run under the 2 hour time and break the world record that would be harder to break in history.

Even so, he still asked if Jake was fine and if he could try to run the same way as yesterday, after all, Jake could not try too hard and end up getting injured, otherwise it would be better to train more lightly and not take the risk.

Jake said it was okay and after doing the warm-up exercises he started running again, Jake would try to run at the same pace as on the last day and would do it until he didn't feel exhausted and the other days he would try to increase the total training distance.

If Jake managed to run the 50 km at this pace every day, he could guarantee that he could run at that pace in an official marathon and only then would he explore his limits and be able to improve even more in the coming months or years.

Jake was not in such a hurry anymore and didn't mind not improving his running pace until after the Sydney Olympics in 2000, after all, even though Jake had a dream of running in less than 2 hours in an official marathon, he didn't have to work too hard to train to achieve this in the coming months.

After managing to win in the 10,000 meters and 5,000 meters and once again winning a gold medal in the marathons, Jake would try once again to improve his race pace.

Without the stress of the challenge and having more confidence, Jake managed to run the 43 km at the same pace as the previous day and was much less tired, but he still wouldn't risk running for more km than that.

Jake analyzed his physical condition and saw that he could run a maximum of 45 km at this pace and he would be exhausted if he did, and Jake thought that in the coming months he probably could not run more than 45 km.

After all, Jake had 45 points in the resistance statistics and was running very close to the pace to be able to run a marathon in less than 2 hours, so Jake didn't think it would be easy to increase his resistance to be able to run more kilometers.

But he was already satisfied with that so that he could break his current world record smoothly and still continue training to improve even more in the years to come, Jake continued to train with great effort in the next few days and one day Jake received a new call from Kate that he was waiting.

"Hi, Jake, I arrived in Miami a few hours ago, I will be staying at a hotel in the next few months and if you want to tomorrow we can go out to lunch as you had invited me."

"For sure, I was looking forward to your arrival and if you want I can stop by your hotel to take you to the restaurant."

"Okay, tomorrow you will call me when you arrive."

Jake was very happy to know that Kate had arrived and even more so because they were going to meet for lunch the other day, Kate actually had a house in Miami, but she would probably stay at the hotel because of her manager who should have come with her and to hide from paparazzi in magazines.

So Jake was excited again, and the next day after his training he soon ate a stamina bar so he wouldn't get tired all day and dressed up for lunch and took the red corvette zr1 car that arrived in Miami.

For Los Angeles, he had ordered a blue zr1 corvette, but he asked for a red one to stay in Miami because he knew his mother liked red cars, but it was a beautiful car and it was also discreet and would not attract the attention of others.

Jake arrived at the hotel where Kate was and called her to say that she had arrived, Kate had also dressed up for lunch and was wearing high heels and a beautiful blue dress, she was surprised by Jake's car, but she thought it was beautiful.

Even though Jake was afraid of cars in the past with the agility he had now with the help of the system, he became an excellent driver, especially since he did not like to race too much with the car for more safety.

Jake and Kate talked about what had happened in the last few months while Jake drove to the restaurant, he was very interested in her stories because it was all different from what happened in the past that he knew.

Of course, Jake didn't really follow the music world at the time and just knew about the songs that were on Billboard and who would win the Grammy, but he knew that everything Kate did was different than what he knew because she hadn't been one. singer in Jake's past.

When they arrived at the restaurant that Jake had already made a reservation with, they kept talking, Jake had VIP status at several Miami restaurants because he always had a lot of business lunches, so it was easier for him to get a table available to book.

Jake told what had happened on the shoot from Australia and told about the martial arts training he had to do and also about the other actors and the friends he made, of course, Jake was careful not to tell Kate about how it would be the film not to spoil her.

After all, Jake intended to take Kate to watch The Matrix with him at the cinema, so she could watch the scenes he had participated in, Jake also talked about the NBA draft that Kate had watched and what happened there that was not broadcast by the TV.

"I've been listening to your songs, Kate, I think they're all great, do you think you can win the Best New Artist award?"

"I don't know, from what my manager said it is almost certain that I will at least be nominated, but it is difficult to know if I can win because there are many talented singers competing like Andrea Bocelli, Dixie Chicks, Backstreet Boys and Lauryn Hill."

Jake agreed that it would be difficult to imagine Kate winning if he were to think about what these great artists she mentioned did in the future of the music he knew, but Jake really liked Kate's music and thought she would also be one of the biggest names in music in the future.

Kate also told Jake that her birthday had just passed and she was now 20 years old, her birthday was in September and Jake didn't know that before because she hadn't told him that.

They talked about various things and stayed for a few hours in the restaurant before Jake realized how much time had passed and took Kate to her hotel, even though they had known each other for more than 3 years they had talked in person a few times in those years.

So Jake decided that he would treat Kate with the respect she deserved and would still meet her a few times in the next few months before asking her to date him, so they really would know each other well before Jake asked her to date him.

Jake took Kate back to the hotel and saw that she too was happy with their lunch so Jake can be more relieved, Jake returned home and on the way, he went to a flower shop and chose flowers for them to send to Kate at the hotel.
