Chapter 297 Using a Coach as an Assistant 3

Listening to Tiffany talk about someone who didn’t care about training his own athletes, the first thing Jake thought was that this coach had no integrity and could be a fake pretending to be.

"I know what you must be thinking, it’s not a scam or someone with no integrity, the situation is that this coach has some people issues that make him really need a job."

"He is not a famous coach and tried to train some athletes who out of luck eventually failed and he needs a higher salary than a university or school can afford for him, so he must have been included in this list that I asked to do by mistake."

So Jake understood what Tiffany was thinking, a coach usually dedicated to coaching an athlete to win multiple competitions beyond a salary he can receive depending on whether a player is affiliated with a professional team or even the state.

Even if a coach ended up working at a very good university he would receive an average of $ 45,000 a year, it would be different if he coached an American football team or an NCAA team.

If he needs a bigger salary than that he would need a lot of luck and could probably make some exceptions even if he was a very good coaching person, Jake was one who could, of course, pay far more than a university paid.

"So you’re saying if I pay him well may not care even if I don’t do my training?"

"Yes, that’s what I think, besides, you miss some training because your circumstances are unique and everyone knows that you are an elite athlete even doing it for years, so paying well I think this coach can accept training you even without the commitment of other athletes."

"It’s great news really if I meet someone like that I won’t have to worry about my training being ineffective, you can talk with that coach, Tiffany."

"So as soon as I get back to Miami I’ll call him to come here to talk to you."

After that they talked a lot more and celebrated talking about how all things worked out at Clara’s companies, Tiffany even said that she was quite happy to have someone like Jake partner with the company.

She also said how life was full of unexpected things, because of Matthew’s recommendation that she herself had been against in the beginning she and Clara ended up meeting someone like Jake who had helped them so much.

After the conversation, Tiffany returned to Miami to settle the affairs of the company, just as she had said she had gone to college more to celebrate and talk to him because the subject she had could be said over the phone.

It was really good news she gave Jake, after all, he was starting to give up his idea of ​​having a coach, after all, he knew well that his future days would be increasingly complicated and only for a few months in the year could he have more freedom.

So Jake thought it would be hard to find a qualified coach who would agree to work with him just because of a better salary, of course, he would still have to know that coach to know if he was really qualified.

Of course, he trusted the information that Tiffany was right, so he just had to wait for this coach to come to know what he really was like, so Jake decided to forget about it for now and focus on his training.

The Tar Heels team had 16 games this season in which they won 14 and lost only 2 games, at the ACC conference they lost only one and had 5 wins and came from a 5 win streak.

In this good season, the Tar Heels team was very strong and already considered one of the favorites to win the ACC tournament, after all, there were still a few months left to think about the NCAA tournament.

After a few more days they get ready for the next game, after a day more rest and having a home game the team Tar Heels was in high spirits for that game, after a few hours both teams were ready for the game.

The opponent of this game was the team Clemson Tigers that had been having a good season this year and had a strong team, they had a strategy of attack in the internal area as the team Tar Heels.

Even though they had good players there was no player who could unbalance in this game, so the Tar Heels team was confident in stopping the attack of the opposing team, Jake also preferred to score players who attacked inside than players who made three-point plays.

That’s because it was easier for him to be able to defend and even get a steal against a player who made three-point plays, it was much easier to end up foul while in defense.

Just as Jake thought the Clemson Tigers team attacked more with in-house plays and thus made it easier for Tar Heels to make the save, in attack they had the advantage in individual confrontations and had Jake to make the three-point plays.

Jake can play for 16 minutes in this first half of the game, he had no qualified player to defend against him and it was harder to get an attack on the inside so he scored 19 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals.

So Tar Heels had the lead and in the second half continued the same way, Jake could play for 16 minutes and made 18 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, and 2 steals, performing well in a simple game.

Team Tar Heels can easily win by 84 points against just 50 points from the opponent, it was again a much bigger score than Jake remembered that team Tar Heels won last year.

Jake had a great offensive performance in this game and hit 7 three-point shots from 9 attempts in this game, it was a high hit rate in a game where the opposing team did not have a player who could score Jake properly.

This was the sixth straight win of the Tar Heels team that came strong this season, it was still more than half of the season and so many did not know if the Tar Heels team would continue to win the games.

After this victory everyone was even more excited for the next game in a few days, they were in a 6-win streak and would play against a great rival for team Tar Heels and team Duke Blue Devils.

It was a historic rivalry between the two universities in all sports, and this time the Duke Blue Devils team came from a defeat against the strong Maryland Terrapins team, so even if they were playing as a visitor they were confident of victory.

For this game everyone was very confident of victory, even knowing that the team Tar Heels had lost in their past life from the results in the last games Jake was confident of victory just like all his teammates.

Even the coach was excited for the victory of the team Tar Heels, so after a few days of training, the team went to the next game, even playing as a visitor they were not intimidated by the pressure of the opposing crowd and just thought of winning.

Just as Team Tar Heels was confident of victory, Duke Blue Devils players were being cautious and worried about the next game, so everyone could see that Team Tar Heels had a stronger team and Jake as a star.

After a few hours, both teams were ready to start this game, Jake was starting again playing as in the last games and they had the same initial formation of the last games.

The Duke Blue Devils team came with Steve Wojciechowski playing as PG, Trajan Langdon playing as SG, Roshown McLeod playing as SF, Ricky Price playing as PF and Greg Newton playing as Center.

This year’s Duke Blue Devils teams were having a great season, they were one of the strongest teams at the conference, but they didn’t have a strong individual team, no player was so prominent, and even though some of them played in the NBA after a few years they still haven’t very successful.

This team used a lot of strategy and a lot of game reserves, they tried a few three-point moves, but they also attacked more than mid-range in 2-point moves, this was a team that relied on coaches to coach a competitive team.

After a short while the game began, Jake was playing as usual in the first few plays and realized that his teammates were feeling the pressure of Duke Blue Devils defender, they were not so easy to pass and missed a few attacks.

Jake was still playing well but did not get the ball so much because of the opposing defense’s position, yet they still had a slight lead on the scoreboard, yet Jake felt this was a strangely comfortable game for the opposing team and problematic for them, but thought it must be because they are playing at home.

"In those first few minutes of the game, the Tar Heels team has had a small advantage in the game, but it’s a harder game than expected."

"It is natural that it is a difficult game after all the two teams have a strong rivalry between them, so we cannot expect a normal game, moreover, even if the team has the advantage in the ability of the players they are playing as a visitor."

"Even though Jake is playing well it seems that he is having difficulty making moves or even receiving passes with Duke Blue Devils’ play strategy, Steve Wojciechowski, though small, has a good defensive ability."

After a few more plays the first half ended with Tar Heels ahead but it was still a game played between the teams, Jake played for 16 minutes and scored 14 points, 3 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block.

He made a first-half very well considering other games but felt that it was not good enough, his whole team also scored fewer points than normally, in the second half he would have to see if he could do differently.

Early in the second half the game continued the same way and Jake started playing again, he tried more plays but his teammates were being hampered by the opponents and only Jake had more freedom to attack even being separated from his teammates.
