Chapter 380 Continuing the Winning Streak 4

If Jake told Kate he might be joining the NBA this year and not doing it would be much worse than hiding something from her, but not to feel too bad Jake decided to tell Kate about the movie he was shooting this year.

When Jake said about the movie he was filming this year with Keanu Reeves she was surprised because she realized that this was another really great movie just like what she had seen Jake do, and this time Jake said he would have a real character in the movie with a lot of appearance time.

Kate didn't expect Jake to really continue his acting career, let alone when he was so busy with basketball and marathons, but she naturally understood that Jake really wanted this and that seemed like a very good job opportunity.

Kate didn't want to be an actress and she didn't think she had any talent for that, but she really respected the actors because she knew some actors and party actresses she attended and she knew how difficult their lives were.

Of course, Kate didn't understand why Jake was really happy with this movie because she didn't know the future as he knew this movie would be a huge success, after participating in this movie Jake could already be considered a successful actor even if he did only a supporting character in the movie.

After that, the two talked for a few hours about life and what they liked, only when Kate's manager called that they realized they had been together for a few hours and Kate had to leave.

But she promised that she would call Jake soon so they could talk more often. After spending an afternoon with Kate, Jake felt that he was fine and more relaxed than if he had rested for many days.

He really enjoyed spending time talking to Kate, it was in a way just like what he felt only when he was with his mother, Jake felt that he could spend several hours talking to Kate every day that they would never be without a subject.

In the coming days, the Tar Heels team had no training and Jake was just training for the races with Coach Davis and Zack, Jake even stopped training for the 10,000-meter races because in less than a month he would have a marathon to run.

It was the Tokyo Marathon that took place in February and it was also the last of the major marathons Jake had to win, he had already won the other 5 and thus gained 5 points in resistance and 5 points in reward agility.

Once he won this marathon more he would gain one more point in agility and one point in resistance, which was good for Jake who would get even better after that, but it was also a problem because after this marathon Jake didn't know when he could win another point in agility and resistance.

Of course, as far as Jake knew he no longer needed any agility and endurance statistics to be able to win marathons for many years, nor for the other athletics, Jake thought he just needed training now.

But Jake had some goals like running a marathon in less than 2 hours and also breaking world records in other racing modalities, to do that he needed more points in statistics.

Now Jake just had to focus on winning the marathon in Tokyo and then he would think about how he would earn more stats points, after a few days the day of the upcoming Tar Heels game came.

The Tar Heels players were much more rested and relaxed after a few days without training and even Jake was more relaxed even though he did his running training.

This game would be at home what made things even easier for the Tar Heels team that would play with the fans, the opponent of this game was the Appalachian State team, it was a team that would have a good season, but was in a conference where the teams were weaker than other university teams.

So it was expected to be an easier game for the Tar Heels team after such a difficult game a few days ago, yet Coach Guthridge told the players not to be careless and focus on the game.

In the first minutes of the game, Jake began the attack of the team Tar Heels calmly and did not increase much the pace in the attack, the players got tired a lot in the last games and came from some days without training.

Also, this was supposed to be a quieter game and there was no reason for Jake to make his teammates get tired of anything, yet the Tar Heels team was still competent in the attacks and scored a lot of points early in the game.

The Appalachian State players knew this was going to be a difficult match and they tried to attack willingly even as they focused on the defense, but the Appalachian State attack didn't have much strength to overcome Tar Heels's strong save.

They had to try hard to get a chance to score, Jake was taking advantage of that to make some steals in the game which further upset the opponent, so the Tar Heels team finished the 1st half with a good lead on the scoreboard.

In this 1st half Jake played for 20 minutes and scored 22 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, and 6 steals, a great 1st half for him and also for the Tar Heels team, even though it's a game with the Tar Heels team dominated the game and not an exciting game The crowd was happy with that.

Team Tar Heels was winning by a big advantage and the Appalachian State defense could not stop the opposing players, so in the 2nd half, the Appalachian State team decided to attack with more pressure.

But even though the year is focused on defense, the Tar Heels team still had a very strong defense, so even though the Appalachian State team managed to score more points it was much less than the Tar Heels team.

Jake was doing very well in this game and Jamison was doing just as well as the other attacking players who were scoring a lot while Tar Heels's lead increased.

So the game ended and Tar Heels won easily by 112 points against 57 points by Appalachian State, with Jake controlling the team's pace and coach Guthridge making some player substitutions during the game.

Jake was the only one on the Tar Heels team who could play an average of 40 minutes per game and not get tired in the other games, which was another reason that Jake was the leading and most reliable player of coach Guthridge on the Tar Heels team.

In this 2nd half of the game, Jake played for 20 minutes and scored 20 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, and 5 steals with one more triple-double Jake helped the Tar Heels team to win another win and further increase the winning streak team's.

The Tar Heels team won this game well and it further increased player confidence for the next games, the media still kept talking about the Tar Heels team's great winning streak and how Jamison and Jake were the best players of the season until the time.

It wasn't just from the Tar Heels team but from all the college teams, even Carter and Williams who were playing well couldn't compare to Jake and Jamison's performance of the season and Carter was known as the best offensive trio of recent times.

The sports media even said that if a team had these three players on the team in the NBA, they could have a team that could win the NBA title if they had a good Center and a good PF.

Of course, even though the Tar Heels team was a favorite because of their last season and this great season so far, but a lot of teams appeared to be strong names to win the NCAA title this year as well.

Everyone was very focused on the next game against a team that even if they were not playing well this year was still a team that was always difficult to face, so in the coming days, the team Tar Heels returned to training preparing for the next opponent.

So after a few days, the team Tar Heels went to the next game, it would be a guest game which made things even more difficult for this game, the opponent for this game was the team NC State Wolfpack.

Even Jake wasn't too quiet for this game because even if Team Tar Heels was the favorite to win, in a game like this, anything could happen, but he was confident that Team Tar Heels would come out with the win.
