Yet he could not deny Oliver's plea for help since Oliver had done so much for him over the years, so Jake tried to think sincerely about a way to help Liza get Matthew's approval.
In fact, Oliver asked Jake to help because he knew that if Jake told Matthew that Liza could be a good wife to Joseph, Matthew would take Jake's opinion seriously and might even change his mind.
But Jake could not do that because it would be a big lie that he would be telling, after all, he does not approve of Liza staying with his friend, he just does not intrude because he believes that when he has love, any relationship can work.
"I think I have an idea that could work, but I do not think either Joseph or Liza and her family will like this idea."
"You can talk, any attempt is welcome."
"I think Liza could commit to going to some etiquette and social behavior classes and doing a few sessions with a psychologist, that could help her better develop her character and personality while she's still young."
Oliver was shocked by this suggestion of Jake, so he had said that no one would like this suggestion, but this was really feasible, after all, it was for the sake of Liza and Joseph and certainly could help her a lot to have a better personality and prove that she loves Joseph.
Jake did not give this suggestion to offend Liza, he saw this once on television in an interview with a celebrity who was saying that she had a lousy personality when young not even the family could handle her but as the family was rich they tried this method and it worked out very well.
After all, there are many reasons for a person's personality to develop, but a person as a young person could change if they were properly led by professionals.
After that, Oliver said he would think about it, after all, he could not just say that to Liza, she would surely be offended by it, but if it was done Matthew would surely approve of their relationship and even improve his opinion for Liza if she accepts this.
Jake got his new car and went straight to school, he still had class and training today, after all soon the next Elite team game would happen, the pieces of training were going very well, with this new style of play they could have many more variations in the tactics and change several moves.
Coach Mike wanted to use this new style of play to catch the strongest surprise teams in the games, but he had to make a lot of adjustments and the players had to get experience with this new style of play in the games.
In addition, coach Mike had to put Lucas and Nathan to get experience in the games, he was counting on the two to lead the team from next year without Jake in the team the other players would have to play much better and not make mistakes to be the champions because there would be no more players to cover their mistakes.
In addition to this training Jake was still going to the training ground to run every day, he kept the same intensity in training every day just to improve the body's resistance, it ran 35 km to a 30 minutes average and every 10 km , then he ate a bar of stamina and increased the pace of running.
So Jake's stamina bars were decreasing in quantity almost every day, but he got one every 3 days of training, in those 5 years that he used very few he still had more than 400 bars of stamina saved, would give him training for a year quietly.
The other week Jake would have to talk to Oliver about the new digital camera as Oliver had said, and it was time for Emily to report on the investments he had made in recent years.
Jake could not wait for the internet and computers to be more like what he remembered so he could make his investments much more easily, yet it was good because he came from the future and knew what was going on in the economy.
Jake woke up in the morning and went down to eat his breakfast that had been prepared by Eva, Jake liked that she did it for him and Jake also thought that so Eva could rest more.
After all, she went out every day almost 5 in the morning and came back late at night, even though she did not seem tired because she was very happy and excited about the restaurant Eva would still have to be careful with her body.
"You said the other day that you have new players on your team, how are they?"
"Lucas is very cool and fun, besides, he said he was my fan and that's why I like him more, Nathan is quieter, but he seems very cool too."
"In addition, the two play very well and can lead the team to victory in the next few years, this year they only help the team as reserves."
"But did not you say they were starters in the first games of that regional championship?"
"That was because Coach Mike wanted to give them experience and also confidence coming into the team as headlines in the first year, but today that's the semifinal they started as reserves and just got in the middle of the game maybe."
Coach Mike certainly trusted David and Harrison a lot more than Lucas and Nathan for important games and with the change in team style David and Harrison will be much easier to score in the toughest games.
Even if they have difficulty in defense if the team does not lose attacks we can already guarantee the advantage and victory as it is done before, Jake saw that his teammates were training a lot in every week mid-range shots so as not to miss many attacks.
"I'll go then mother, good work for you later."
"Good luck in the game too, do not forget to call me to tell you about your win after the game, I have not even tried this phone yet, I want to hear good news from you."
"You can count on me, Mother."
After that Jake went to the scene of the game, getting there he was still one of the first because he had gone by car this time, everyone was coming and getting ready for the game.
Soon the coach announced that David and Harrison would start playing as Jake thought it would be, Lucas and Nathan were sad but understood well the coach's motives for it.
The opposing team for this fourth regional championship game would be the Allapattah team, they had three players who had a greater prominence, the SG of the team that was called Levi, was fast and gave many assists besides doing well mid-range shots.
The team's SF was another outstanding player, his name was Joshua and he was fast and good with passes as well as Levi, but Joshua likes more than making individual plays and finishing the plays with dunks or layups.
The third highlight was Center Aaron, Aaron was a player who despite his height was still a very fast player, so would be a good test for Mark's defense, Allapattah's PG was not very skillful and missed passes in All the games.
So Jake could do well in this game, but with Levi and Joshua the Allapattah team had a style of play similar to the current Elite team, moreover, journalists said it was a shame because the Allapattah team could do well this year in the championship state and until they reach the national championship if they were not in the same region of the Elite team that wins for 4 consecutive years.
After a while the game began, Mark went up to take possession of the ball to the Elite team, even if Aaron was fast to a Center he was still lower and lower in defensive techniques than Mark, so this would be an interesting dispute.
Jake grabbed the ball and walked calmly into the attack while his teammates positioned themselves in the attack, David unclasped and Jake passed the ball to him, so David made a feint and passed by Levi and passed the ball to Carter who had been more open in the bottom right corner of the court.
Carter saw that he had space and so did the mid-range shot to make the first two points of the Elite team, Carter was one of the most favored with this change of style of play, he trained quite a few mid-range shots and now could help the team in the attack.
The Allapattah team's PG received the ball and started the first attack for his team, he advanced and passed the ball to Levi before the middle of the court, Levi increased speed and quickly arrived before the line of three points, David approached in the defense keeping distance.
So Levi passed the ball to Joshua who was more open when Harrison arrived for the defense Joshua passed the ball to the Allapattah team's PG that was coming in the attack, Jake did not give space and approached to defend, so the PG passed the ball to Levi again.
Levi managed to dribble in David and made the mid-range shot to make 2 points for his team and tie the game, Jake got the ball and started another attack, this time Jake passed the ball to Harrison who was more open on the left, Harrison stayed with the ball for a while and then passed to Carter who came to the left corner.
The PF team Allapattah approached to defend and Carter passed the ball to Jake, Jake threw an aerial ball and Mark took the air to make the dunk and 2 more points to the Elite team, with that Alley-oop the fans started to cheer and morale Elite team increased.
Jake knew that Mark would have a difficult match against Aaron and with this move Jake hoped Mark would have the confidence to make a good game.
