Chapter 519 A Different Team 7

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Jake accepted this challenge and he hit all three-point shots and when the tallest opponent attacked Jake got some steals and some blocks and also won the second challenge, so the young people realized they couldn't beat Jake in basketball.

Then one of the young men challenged Jake to a 10,000-meter long-distance run, the others understood that they couldn't win in basketball and even forgot that they wanted to win the attention of women in the stands, now they just wanted to defeat Jake.

Jake accepted this third challenge and took his sports bag and put on his running shoe that was the JKS Velocity 1, so the young people realized before the race that they were going to lose, and the commercial ended.

Recording the commercial took a few hours because the other actors made a lot of mistakes, Jake made no mistake and the directors knew that Jake was an actor too, yet they were impressed by his talent.

This commercial would be divided into three smaller commercials after the edition, the first commercial was with Jake winning the first challenge, the other commercial was with Jake winning the second challenge was with the young people giving up on challenging Jake in basketball and challenging him to the running of long-distance and with them realizing that they could not win.

Jake thought the commercial was very simple, but it was interesting for someone to see, Jake remembered that the Adidas commercials at that time were that simple and they just wanted to get the public's attention and show off the sneakers they were selling.

Then Jake had to go back to the advertising company to take some more pictures that would be used as advertising by the company, Jake had never done such a big advertising campaign and he didn't know it took that long.

Mark seemed to understand what Jake thought and said that this recording for the commercial would only last a few hours because the company knew that basketball players were very busy and had a few days off to do the recording.

That's because sometimes some commercials they did could last a few days or even a few weeks, Jake returned to his house when it was dark, and David told Jake that maybe in the next few weeks the other companies he endorsed could ask him to record a commercial too.

After all, the other companies also wanted to take advantage of this high popularity that Jake currently had in the NBA, Jake was happy because he knew that this recording of this commercial would also be good for increasing his fame in the world of sports.

NBA fans knew that the biggest stars normally had big NBA sponsorship deals, if Adidas managed to finish this commercial quickly and start selling the sneakers, it could coincide and even help the popularity of the movie The Matrix that Jake would participate in.

Jake asked Wachowski directors that he did not need to participate in talk shows to talk about the film, Jake thought it best that only the main actors worked to promote the film.

Certainly just because he participated in the film, NBA fans and especially fans of the Los Angeles Lakers team might want to watch the film he participated in, Jake was sure of the success of the film because the film had become similar to what he remembered in the past and just his character who was different in the film.

Now Jake already knew that he should expect several things in the coming weeks and the premiere of his film at the end of the month, the next day Jake woke up very early to prepare for the game that the Los Angeles Lakers team would have that day.

It was the second game in a row that the Los Angeles Lakers team would have against the Phoenix Suns team, in the last game the Phoenix Suns team played at home and in that game it would be in Los Angeles, so again the sports media expected the Los Angeles Lakers team to have the advantage.

When the game time was coming Jake arrived at the Great Western Forum which was packed again, he was one of the first to arrive and knew he had missed the training the team had the previous day to go and record the commercials.

Of course, Jake asked Coach Kurt Rambis first, but Jake didn't like to miss training, Coach Rambis and the other players didn't care because Jake played 48 minutes in every game and was being the team's main player in the last few games.

After a few minutes, the two teams were ready for the game to begin. The Los Angeles Lakers team would start the game with Jake Smith playing as PG, Kobe Bryant playing as SG, Rick Fox playing as SF, Robert Horry playing as PF, and Shaquille O'Neal playing as Center.

The Phoenix Suns team would start this game with Jason Kidd playing as PG, Rex Chapman playing as SG, George McCloud playing as SF, Tom Gugliotta playing as PF, and Luc Longley playing as Center.

They were the same players from the last game, the Phoenix Suns team started pressing in the attack and they were also pressing in defense, it seemed that they wanted the victory in that game even though the Los Angeles Lakers team was playing at home.

Because of that, the Phoenix Suns team ended the first quarter with a small advantage on the scoreboard, but in the second quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers team started to press much more in the attack and managed to reverse the score and finish the second quarter by winning.

In that game, Coach Rambis did not replace Kobe Bryant and did not replace Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe played very well in that game and with that, the Phoenix Suns team could not handle the attack of the Los Angeles Lakers team.

In the third quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers team continued to put pressure on the attack and further increased the lead on the scoreboard, and the game ended with the Los Angeles Lakers team winning with 114 points against 91 points for the Phoenix Suns team.

Jake played for 48 minutes in that game and had 28 points, 15 assists, 8 rebounds, and 11 steals, Jake managed to make another triple-double in that game and played a really good game even though he didn't score more than 28 points in that game.

In this game, Kobe Bryant also stood out a lot and played his best game this season, Kobe had 32 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds, this was the game where Kobe scored the most points, Shaq also made another excellent game with 27 points and 9 rebounds.

Dennis Rodman had another excellent game and managed to get 17 rebounds, this was the game in which Dennis got the most rebounds and in the last game he had already managed to get 16 rebounds, Dennis was showing that it could be important for the Los Angeles Lakers team to win more games.

After that victory, the Los Angeles Lakers team had managed to win 16 games in 17 games that happened in the season, this season was being really excellent for the Los Angeles Lakers team and the fans and the sports media talked more and more about how the Lakers team was favorite to win the NBA title.

The next day the Los Angeles Lakers team would not play and the players could have another day to rest, the team would only have a light training as it always did and the players did not care.

Los Angeles Lakers team fans were happy with the team's victories before they were worried about these coach changes that the Lakers team had, but coach Kurt Rambis seemed to be doing very well and since he started coaching the Los Angeles team Lakers didn't lose any games.

Of course, the fans of the Lakers team knew that the greatest merit was of the players who continued to play well throughout the season, but as long as the team continued to win, they did not care who the team coach was.

The other day the players did just a light training and were able to rest even more before the next game, the day of the game came and it would be again in Los Angeles that made the players even happier.

Jake went to the Great Western Forum again and saw that the Los Angeles Lakers fans had come to support the Lakers team again with many fans, Jake entered the locker room and in a short time, the players were out on the court ready for the game to begin.

The opponent in that game was the Seattle SuperSonics team again, the last game this season between these teams was well balanced and the Los Angeles Lakers team managed to win with a good performance by Jake, Shaq, and Kobe.

This was a highly anticipated game by the sports media because of the dispute between Jake Smith and Gary Payton, in the last game the two achieved good performance and Jake got some steals in the game, but the two respected each other and managed to play well.

In this game, the dispute was again awaited because this time Jake had been chosen as player of the month and was not just a rookie, the sports media even said that Jake could be chosen as MVP of this season.

This could encourage Gary Payton to try to defend even more against Jake so that fans could see an intense dispute between the two players, of course, the most likely was that something like that would not happen.

"Welcome everyone who came to watch one more game this NBA season, today's game is between the Los Angeles Lakers team against the Seattle SuperSonics team."

"The Seattle SuperSonics team has 9 wins and 5 losses this season and is one of the best teams this season, with Gary Payton and Van Baker this team has been performing well in most games."

"The Los Angeles Lakers team has 16 victories and only 1 loss this season, one of the best starts of the season in the history of the Lakers team, with Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and rookie Jake Smith the Lakers team is having an excellent performance this season."

"Shaq and Kobe are playing well this season again, but Jake is a big surprise for everyone in the NBA, now he is one of the players who can win the MVP this season."
