Chapter 433 End of Time at the University 5

Of course, this was not really a lie, Jake sought to hire David Falk because he realized that he would not have the time or prestige to negotiate contracts with companies and basketball teams.

Even if Jake was a great player he would just be a rookie when he entered the NBA, he would have to enter the draft on any team that chose him and could not negotiate a contract as good as David managed with Adidas.

So Jake learned that it would be better for him in the future if he just delegated tasks to the qualified people, so he had Emily who would forever be his right hand in business, he also wanted to hire Haruto to help him and Emily, and also to help look after his businesses in the future.

Jake also counted on Frank Davis to take care of his training for marathons or any type of athletics, and if Jake really decided to become an actor he would count on a professional to help take care of his career.

Because of that he trusted David Falk to get the sponsorship contracts for him in the future, Jake no longer needed that money and just wanted to be recognized for his work and it helped David a lot to choose the best contracts for him.

John's company paid very well and could pay even more for a contract with Jake in the NBA, but Jake knew it was a problem that he had an endorsement contract with a company not very big on the market.

If the company committed a crime or did something wrong, the image of Jake and the other sponsors would also be greatly affected and this could even alienate other companies that attempted a contract with Jake who was just an NBA rookie.

David was happy when he realized that Jake already knew this and so he said that Jake could blame him for any decision related to his endorsement contracts when John realized that he also calmed down.

The contract that John's company made with Jake might seem unfair and that his company was paying too much for a contract with a college player, but Jake was also a marathon athlete who won every race he participated in and had the world record o that helped a lot the company that John represented.

The company that John represented greatly increased sales and achieved record sales after making a contract with Jake and John had managed to get some promotions in his work and even increases by getting that contract with Jake for the company.

So John could not accept when Jake just said he would join the NBA draft, after all, John, like the others, could never think that Jake would leave his team this season.

After all, the Tar Heels team had won the NCAA tournament for the second time and was in the midst of a winning streak record, in yet another season Jake could break all individual records as a player and go down in history and enter the future with more prestige in the NBA.

But Jake knew what he was doing, John still tried to ask Jake to negotiate, but Jake was smarter and asked John to set up a meeting with David to talk about a new endorsement contract.

John understood that Jake would no longer talk about contracts in person and went to try to arrange a meeting with David without knowing that he had no chance of getting a contract because David had already found replacements for his company.

At dinner, Jake had to talk to Alan and as their relationship was not so close he soon said that he had a sports agent and that it would be David who would decide if their contract could be renewed.

Alan was also surprised by this situation, but he realized that Jake would no longer negotiate contracts and went to set up a meeting with David too, it was a stressful day, but necessary for Jake who just had to prepare for when the announcement that he would leave the university left.

Shammond Williams, Vince Carter, and Antawn Jamison already said they would leave the Tar Heels team this season, Carter and Jamison took longer to make that decision because of the great phase the Tar Heels team was having.

But they didn't have many records that could break with another season on the Tar Heels team, nor did they have sponsorship contracts like Jake had to study smoothly, they had achieved everything they wanted on the Tar Heels team and needed to get into the NBA to start winning money.

So fans of the Tar Heels team were disappointed with this because that way Shammond Williams and Makhtar N'Diaye would leave the team because they had ended their 4 years at university, Vince Carter and Antawn Jamison would leave the team because they wanted to enter the NBA.

The fans started to worry about how the team could continue winning next season without almost the entire team, they were happy that they could count on Jake, of course, they could never hope that Jake would also leave.

Jake had already spoken to Coach Bill Guthridge and had thanked him for the support and confidence that Coach Guthridge had in him in those two seasons, Coach Guthridge had already hoped for this and just wished Jake luck because in these many years at Tar Heels University he had already as many players come in and out of the team.

Jake decided that he would speak to his teammates only after it was announced that he was going to the NBA draft, luckily for Jake the university was taking too long to announce that Jake was leaving the university and that was better for him.

While Jake waited for the right time to talk to his teammates and the media about his leaving the university, he could finally get back to his training for the marathons and also with Yuen Woo-ping for the film The Matrix.

Jake's top priority now was recording the movie The Matrix, after a few months, he would go to Australia to join the film crew and make the film recordings and would only go out for a few weeks to go on the NBA draft.

Even while he was taking classes he would still continue training with Yuen Woo-ping to perform better in the film, almost a month had passed since they started training and Yuen Woo-ping could see that Jake improved a lot in his training.

For Yuen Woo-ping, Jake had learned almost everything he needed to learn before the film and his biggest problem would be learning how to make the same moves he learned while hanging on the cables.

Thinking about it Yuen Woo-ping decided to call some acquaintances of him who were also from the cinema to help Jake train other types of techniques and martial arts that could help him perform better in this film and in other action films in the future.

Yuen Woo-ping only decided this because he realized that Jake was very talented and learned very fast and so he realized that he could give more training to Jake before he returned to Australia.

Jake was unaware of Yuen Woo-ping's plans and returned in the morning before classes to do race training together with trainer Davis and Zack, Zack was no longer angry with Jake because he knew that Jake would leave the university in some time.

But he had agreed with his other roommates that he would not speak to Jake for the time being, but Zack had forgotten that Jake should return to training for the marathons after the end of the basketball season.

Coach Davis was already used to how Jake's body worked differently and told him to do the same training he did before he stopped training for over a month.

Just as Coach Davis hoped Jake was able to finish training even more easily, this was because Jake had the system, but the other reason was that Jake had received a reward after winning the NCAA tournament again.

This time he received 1 point in agility, 1 point in strength, and 1 point in resistance, so he received 3 points in statistics that were distributed by the reward and were not free points that Jake could decide how to invest.

As this was unexpected, Jake was very happy with it, he had a hope that he could receive a reward because he received it after winning the NCAA tournament last season and he didn't know how the system worked.

Fate also did not seem to want to explain to Jake exactly how the system worked, perhaps to prevent Jake from exploiting the system and gaining many statistical points that would make him much better than the others.

Even so, Jake was happy to earn those statistic points and that would help him even more in the NBA and also for the next Olympics in which he had to compete in more athletics.

Zack was surprised to see how Jake looked like he could run more easily right now after more than a month without training, now that he trained 30 km and sometimes a complete marathon he can know that Jake's daily training was to do a marathon in a great time that was in less than 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Realizing this Zack can see why Jake could easily win all the marathons he ran, his training was certainly more intense than almost all athletes in the world, it made Zack admire Jake even more and wanted to be able to do like Jake someday.

After this training Jake took a shower and went to university and saw that William was still avoiding him in class, Jake didn't care much about it and after classes, he went to the place where Yuen Woo-ping normally did his training.

Yuen Woo-ping did not tell Jake that he had called other people to help with his training for the next few days, knowing him Yuen Woo-ping knew that Jake would just accept it calmly.
