Be happy with sports

Chapter 327 The Major Marathons 1

Jake was very happy with everything that happened in the previous days and the victory in the NCAA tournament, all the newspapers were talking about the Tar Heels team and Jake and the best players of the Tar Heels team.

Jake did not give any interviews and only said after winning how happy he was to win the NCAA tournament, this was because many of the questions were strange and suggested that he was solely responsible for the team winning the NCAA tournament.

He knew well that this was not right after all his teammates were very skilled and many would-be stars of NBA teams, and even without him, the team would reach the final four in the NCAA tournament.

In the last two games, he could accept being told that he was responsible for the team’s victory, but for the rest of the season, he only added his skills to a team that was already very good.

Jake knew he had improved a lot this season because even if his skill ranks didn’t change he knew that this season he was getting used to basketball style and getting better and so towards the end of the season he could play a lot better.

One thing that made Jake very surprised and happy was that he had received a system reward after winning the NCAA tournament, it was such a good reward that he was very surprised.

Jake had received as a reward that all his basketball skills would reach the next rank, it made him very happy and a little sad, he felt that many skills had already improved this season and were close to reaching the next rank, other skills he knew it would take at least another year to reach the next rank.

Either way, it was a very good thing and so he was just one step closer to getting the skill needed to level up with his skills to know what the NBA players look like, with that he would reach the peak of basketball.

That was the reward that most improved his basketball skills, the other was something that made Jake very thoughtful for a few hours, he received 4 attribute points as a reward for winning the NCAA tournament.

But unlike before these points came as free points and he could put in any attribute he wanted, this made Jake very confused because he could put the 4 points in strength and thus improve his basketball accuracy and improve a little on other things.

He could also put the 4 points in Resistance so that he would be much easier with basketball and the marathons he would have to run, and this statistic could more easily cross the 50 statistic barrier.

Jake could also decide to put those 4 points into agility so he could start training in the other athletics modalities more easily and so maybe compete in some more races in the upcoming Olympics.

Another thing he could do was put the 4 points in the strength stat and thus balance the difference he would make more and more after he won a few major marathons.

In the end, he decided to put those 4 points in strength statistics to improve in basketball and because it was harder for him to get strength statistics, he could wait another time to compete in the other athletics modalities.

And Jake didn’t think he needed Resistance anymore at the moment, he could finish a marathon in almost 2 hours and could play the games of the season quietly, and Jake knew he could get more points in agility and Resistance with the marathons.

After doing this he was very pleased because after he won a few more marathons his stats would be more balanced, he was pleased that the next season would be so much easier for him.

That didn’t mean it was guaranteed that the team would easily win the NCAA tournament as it did this year because it would depend much more on the whole team’s work than just him, but it would be much easier for him to make the moves he was used to.

"Fate, show me my statistics on my first job."

It was amazing to see how he had improved in just one season, he knew it was because he had already greatly improved in training in the imagination training space, but it also had to do with him facing more skilled opponents and with him playing a lot more games in the season.

Now besides the block ability, he had all S-rank skills and was close to being able to improve his level to the NBA level so that he could finally know what the NBA players’ skill was like.

He was also surprised that his height was already over 2 meters, he never expected it to be so high in his life, he was already much taller than in his past life, with his current height Jake already had confidence in play in the NBA without being harmed by lack of height.

[You did well to choose to increase your strength stat, Jake, this is the only way your physical stats will be more balanced after you win a few more major marathons, otherwise, your stats would always be unbalanced and that could hurt you a little.]

"What do you mean I would be harmed? Why did you never tell me anything about it?"

[I didn’t say anything before because this is not something you can do something to change if you just decided to continue with the marathons you would not need your strength statistic and the statistics would be out of balance.]

[Your physical statistics getting out of balance is not such a serious problem, what happens is that you won’t be able to use your statistics so easily, if your Resistance statistics were much smaller you couldn’t, for example, use all your strength for long. time and not run too fast.]

[If your agility is much lower you will react slower and you may not be as efficient at using your strength if your Resistance is much higher than your strength you will not be able to use all of your Resistance because your muscles will not hold.]

[That’s why it’s best to always keep your stats balanced, especially for you looking to do more than one sport at a time, so you’ll better use your stats.]

Hearing this Jake finally understood how statistics were so much more important than he thought, it wasn’t like an RPG game where it was better to just improve a stat as much as it could to be more useful.

[Now, though I think it will be difficult for your statistics or skills to improve before you leave college, your statistics can only improve if you get more rewards.]

[Your body has fully developed now too and you will not increase your height further, but with your current height it should be enough for you to play high in the NBA in PG position.]

Jake understood that now it would be harder to increase his stats through simple training and his height would not increase anymore either, now he could be considered totally an adult.

Even though he was pleased with everything the system did for him, Jake wanted to increase his Resistance stats and his agility a little more because of the other track and field modalities he would have in one NBA season.

But if it wasn’t for this balance of statistics that the system said Jake wouldn’t care more about increasing his strength statistics, after all, he realized that even if he had 90 strength statistics it didn’t mean he would hit all three-point shots to try.

So that’s why Jake thought the strength statistics were good enough, but now that he knew the balance he would try to improve the strength statistics he received from rewards.

What he would have more trouble finding was ways to earn more stats on strength as a reward, he knew that marathons could help him improve his Resistance and agility stats, but he knew nothing he could do to increase his strength.

Jake hoped that after he entered the NBA in professional basketball he would find many more opportunities to improve his stats with rewards as he received by winning the NCAA tournament.

He didn’t even think about increasing his stats with just ordinary training, after all, he already had more statistics than most professional basketball players, he managed to increase a statistics point this year by training because his body was developing as the system said.

In the coming days, contrary to what Jake imagined, Coach Smith did not release the team and would continue training until the players went on vacation, the only difference was that the training was not so heavy and if the players needed it they could miss training.

In the team’s first training several days after the NCAA tournament final everyone noticed a strange situation, Jake who had improved by a whole level in basketball decided to train with everything he had to see how he improved.

So after this training, all players of the Tar Heels team could not help thinking that Jake had not played the best he could in the final, he scored over 50 points in a training game and completely dominated the opposing team’s defenders in training.

Even though Coach Smith thought Jake had not tried his hardest in the final, the problem was that no one could complain about this to Jake because even without trying his best he was certainly the best player in that game and led the whole team to victory.

So players from the Tar Heels team could only be happy that if they have a tougher game next season they could count on Jake at that time.
