<h4>Chapter 229 Last National High School Championship 7</h4>


    Coach Mike was excited to hear this, he was worried that this time his team could really miss this national championship final, and without Jake next year would be even harder.


    But at that moment Jake came up saying that he had a solution to the team problem, Jake was certainly the yer Coach Mike trusted the most, and Jake wasn’t a joker either when he knew the problems the team faced.


    So Mike knew that if Jake said he had a solution, it must be something Jake had thought about several times before talking to him.


    "If you have a solution to this situation that can help the team you can tell me."


    "I was thinking about the next game taking on Mark’s role in defense, in the offense I would still y as usual, but in defense, I would y as Center and defend in addition to fighting for rebounds."


    "Do you think you can do that, Jake?"


    Even though Coach Mike was still surprised, he still knew Jake should have some confidence to say that, and Mike had seen Jake training with Mark several times, Jake was as tall and as good at defense as Mark.


    For rebounds Coach Mike always knew that Jake was better than Mark in catching rebounds, even in thest game Jake caught several just in the second half of the game, so he just had to ask if Jake was confident of that.


    "I have confidence coach, in fact, the most important will be the rebounds, even if the opposing Center scores several points will not interfere with the oue of the game, but the rebounds have decided victory and defeat in a difficult game."


    "That’s true, so we’ll have to think we can put David in the starting lineup and David will defend against who is worse off the other team’s attack.


    Coach Mike thought of the same thing as Jake, he was also more concerned about the rebound, it was impossible that all 5 of the opposing team would be good in attack, and even if any of them had to be the worst.


    Also, even if Jake said it didn’t matter if the opposing Center scored multiple points, Mike knew that Jake was even better than Mark in defense and something like that wouldn’t happen.


    When Coach Mike told the team how they would y the yers were very surprised by this, even though they also trusted Jake who was the team captain they knew how different it was to y in PG position and Center position.


    But no one said anything against it after a few practice drills everyone was calmer when they saw that Jake was doing the defensive part at least in training.


    So everyone could rx more with that, Coach Mike was d that next year a skilled Center woulde from Middle School, otherwise, it would be hard to think about ying well with the reserves he had in the team now.


    Now that he had decided to y Center in defense of his team in the final game in almost two weeks, Jake would now y Center position in all the training he had at that time in his imagination training space.


    Usually Jake puts his opponents in the same skill rank as him to train better, since at the moment there was no one in high school who was of the same level as him in skill, so his current training could already be considered difficult as his opponents of the same Skills rank are at college level basketball.


    But now he has increased the skills of the opposing team’s Center one rank higher than his own and has also left opponents a few inches higher, so Jake was sure that his opponent in the imagination training space would be much harder than his real opponent in the final.


    After a few more days Jake was called by Emily, so Jake had no choice but to shorten his training routine on the day to talk to Emily, after all, he had warned her to talk to him only when needed.


    "What happened Emily?"


    "The ce where it will be thepany office was ready, I wanted to let you know if you want to see it."


    Jake had even forgotten about this office, he had Emily buy one of the ces he had set aside for his mother’s restaurant to be thepany’s new office, after all now JK Investing was working with hundreds of millions in investments.


    So even to preserve the reputation of the people who invested in your business you had to have a new office before only Jake’s money was invested so it wasn’t necessary, but now they worked with other clients and had employees.


    Even Emily who would always receive 1 percent of thepany’s profits would not ept that thepany would only work with Jake’s money, even if it was too much in the future.


    So Jake was curious to know what the office Emily had decorated was like and went to see, the office was big as it should be after all was to be built a restaurant so there was no way to be small.


    It was quite different from the office Jake had worked in much of his past life, it seemed to be more elegant, in ce it had only three offices, one from Jake thergest, another from Emily and the third Jake didn’t know who it was for.


    Soon the other employees would alsoe to work here, they were all getting good sries and were happy with thepany, and Emily and of course a long time ago had received a raise, only Jake wasn’t getting a sry yet despite being the owner.


    Emily suggested that Jake receive a sry to encourage other employees, but Jake declined as he knew it could be considered fraud, especially now that thepany has other people investing.


    "Whose other office is Emily?"


    "This is thepany’s ountant office."


    "Did you hire an ountant? But we work with the ounting firm, don’t we?"


    "Yes, but I think as we are working with a lot of money it is better to have an ountant in thepany before passing the data to the ounting firm, so we avoid the risk of being misled."


    Jake then understood why she had hired an ountant for thepany, Jake knew this was not necessary because he knew that the ounting firm was reliable using his second job skill, but he didn’t want to upset Emily because it was he who had said that Emily would be responsible for everything in thepany.


    Besides, he could understand why she was worried about that, so manypanies that worked with Jake’s ounting firm also did something simr, so they had more confidence after the ounts were double-checked.


    "I really enjoyed how you decorated the office, I leave it all in your hands now, any problems you can call me."


    "Never mind, we’re always watching the stock markets and I’ll let you know if there’s any change."


    Jake trusted Emily a lot after working with her for a few years, and in the future, Jake would know that he would have a lot of money to take care of and might be a partner with severalpanies like him from Amazon.


    So it was essential to have someone reliable and talented like Emily to take care of business for him, after all, Jake was above all a basketball yer and an athlete, so he would not have time to take care of all the business he would have.


    In several of these partnerships Jake might have to interfere if he saw that something could go wrong, he told Jeff Bezos that it would not interfere with the management of thepany, this was because he knew how Amazon would develop in the future, but if he saw that thepany If he was going astray he was sure to get involved and could even sell all the stock he had to avoid future losses.


    He was thinking that he could find more talented people to work with him in the future, even if he knew he couldn’t convince famous geniuses to work for him, it wouldn’t be difficult with his charisma and financial capital to convince some talented people to work for him.


    After saying goodbye to Emily, Jake had to go back to training, even if the Elite team was stronger this year, the opponents were tougher as well, with Mark out of the team in the final Jake was not so confident about winning.


    Even so, Jake was someone who was challenged, even though the situation seemed much more difficult than in other years he would try his best to break his limits and bring the team victory in this final match and also in this year’s national championship.


    On one day he had to run out of body rest training after several days of total training, Jake went to his mother’s restaurant after lunchtime, as he was busy and his mother wasing home every day more early Jake wasn’t going to the restauranttely.


    So he decided to go on a day off to talk to Anna and L at the restaurant too after he was thinking of stopping by Mark’s house to see how he was after leaving the hospital, Jake knew that Mark must be bad for not being able to more y with your teammates and help the team win the national championship this year.


    Jake arrived at the restaurant shortly after lunch just as employees took time to rest before dinner after all the restaurant didn’t serve breakfast either, so they had time to rest after lunch and before dinner L was the first one who met Jake and went to talk to him happily.


    "Hi Jake, how are you?"


    "I’m fine L, how about you?"


    "I’m fine too, I didn’t think you’de to the restaurant right now when you’re so busy thinking about the final game."


    "I decided to take a day off, overtraining can end up causing me an injury, I don’t want to hurt myself before the final game."


    "I hope you can win this final and be champion again, I’m trying to ask for a break to go to the final game, but your mom has decided to watch this game so I don’t know if I can make it."


    "I hope to see you there too L, but if you can’t go, just knowing that you’re rooting for me makes me happy."


    L was embarrassed to hear what Jake said, over time she was liking Jake more and more and with Eva and Anna’s support she was gaining the courage to approach him even if she worked for Jake’s mother.
