Chapter 554 The Playoffs 4

"Jake, the Los Angeles Lakers team won the first 2 games and if they win the next game they will advance to the next phase of the playoffs, are you confident of being able to advance to the next phase?"

"We are certainly confident, the Minnesota Timberwolves team is an excellent opponent and they are certainly a good team for advancing into the playoffs, but we are confident in being able to win and advance to the next phase of the playoffs."

"Jake, do you think that if you win the NBA title with the Los Angeles Lakers team you will win the MVP award?"

"I don’t know, a lot of the players who were chosen as the MVP of the season didn’t win the NBA title and some didn’t even make it to the NBA Finals, but I think I have a chance of winning that award this season."

"The truth is that my teammates and I are going to strive to win this NBA title regardless of any prize, that is our priority."

"Jake, do you think the Los Angeles Lakers team is the favorite to win the NBA title this season after those two victories in the first two playoff games?"

"I think our team has been the favorite to win the NBA title since before the playoffs, we have the best attack this season and we are the team with the most victories this season, but we will still have to strive like all the other teams to win the NBA title."

The reporters were happy with Jake’s responses in that interview, Jake did not deviate from the questions and the reporters realized that Jake had learned to talk better with the media to prevent his words from being misunderstood by others.

After the end of that game, Jake returned to his house with his mother, the next game for the Los Angeles Lakers team was in 2 days, so Coach Rambis decided to let the players rest the next day and only the next day the players would go travel to Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The players who were already a little tired after those first 2 games were very happy about it and Jake was also happy as he played every minute in every game, Jake had prepared a reservation at a hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota for Eva and had to warn that she would be late one day.

Jake also called to tell the driver of the car he had rented and the pilot of the helicopter, Eva was anxious because it was her first time riding a helicopter and she didn’t mind delaying that trip by another day.

Jake came home and had his dinner with Eva and after that, he went to his room, Jake didn’t go to sleep and called Kate to talk to her about the 2 games he had in the NBA playoffs, Kate couldn’t watch to the games and for the past few days, she was busy with her concerts.

That day Jake knew Kate wasn’t too busy and called her, Jake talked for a few hours with Kate who was happy with the Los Angeles Lakers team’s victories and was also happy to know that Eva was watching Jake’s playoff games.

Jake can rest well after talking to Kate and the other day he woke up very early to eat the breakfast with his mother, Jake took advantage of that rest day to take Eva to visit some places in Los Angeles.

Jake himself did not know many places, but the main tourist spots he knew and Jake also knew many famous restaurants with typical foods from various countries, this was currently the thing that most interested Eva.

Eva now had a restaurant that served typical dishes from all countries and to do that Eva had to know the dish she would make well, but after the restaurant opened Eva no longer had to travel with Jake and did not know any new dishes in countries many different.

So Jake used his experience with cooking and looked for places that had dishes that Eva had not yet made in her restaurant, Eva liked that a lot and was very happy with this tour with Jake.

After that Jake went to a movie theater to watch his movie with his mother, that was a request from Eva even though she can’t watch the movie premiere with Jake, Jake naturally accepted it because he wanted to see the movie he participated in again.

Jake watched the premiere of the film, but he paid more attention to what had changed from the film he had seen in his past life than to the performance he had in the film, so this time Jake paid attention to the history of the film and his performance too.

Watching the scenes Jake realized that the scenes he had done with the doubles who knew how to fight seemed more real than the scenes he did with other actors who did not have much training, that was because in the scenes of Jake with other doubles it was not much editing was required and the fight scenes were almost real.

Of course, in the blows that hurt the most and when Jake attacked opponents, and they hit the wall afterward, it was all done with editing, but the normal fight scenes were much more ’real’ even so, Jake thought his performance in the debut film it was very good.

Jake heard from the directors that if there was a next film, the character Jev that Jake would make would be much more important in the film and Jake would see how it would affect the films in The Matrix trilogy that he always liked a lot.

Eva also enjoyed watching this movie a lot with Jake, so Jake said that in the future he would receive a copy of this film to watch at the cinema he had at his house, for the time being, he had not received it because the film was still in theaters.

Jake remembered that for some reason this film would continue in theaters around the world until September 1999 even though in the past few weeks the film has hardly raised more than $ 100,000 worldwide.

An interesting thing that Jake learned the other day talking with Keanu Reeves was that the film The Matrix had already raised 210 million dollars only in the domestic box office, that impressed Jake who remembered that the film The Matrix had until the end of September less of 172 million dollars in the domestic box office in his past life.

This meant that in just over a month the box office of the film The Matrix was already bigger than what the film collected in all the time in Jake’s past life, this made Jake happier because it showed that the film was a bigger success than it was in the past.

Jake also knew that he had more fans in Europe and Asia than in the United States, so the collection of the worldwide film could also be much higher with Jake’s participation in this film, even more, because Jake’s performance was highly praised by critics.

Of course, Jake couldn’t know if the reason for this was that he acted well in the film or if it was just because of his fame as a basketball player, but Jake was very happy to have done more good for the film he always liked.

Even more because Jake would receive 2 percent of the final income from the film as payment for acting in the film, so he would receive $ 2 million for recording this film which was much more than most actors received in their first film and Jake knew that that number would only increase.

After doing all these things Jake went on a trip with the Los Angeles Lakers team to Minneapolis, Minnesota, Eva also went to Minneapolis, Minnesota by helicopter and Jake would just meet his mother at the Target Center.

Jake arrived in Minneapolis, Minnesota and went to the hotel with the players and slept well waiting for the game the other day, soon the game day arrived and Jake saw that the players were very excited for this game.

Soon it was game time and the players went to the Target Center, the players were excited after the two victories in the first 2 games and they hoped the Los Angeles Lakers team could win again and so they would qualify for the next playoff phase. and I could rest more.

Jake knew it wouldn’t be that easy and the Minnesota Timberwolves team would try very hard not to lose this game, after all, they knew that if they lost they would be eliminated and it would be the end of this season for them.

The Los Angeles Lakers team would start that game with Jake Smith playing as PG, Kobe Bryant playing as SG, Rick Fox playing as SF, Dennis Rodman playing as PF, and Shaquille O’Neal playing as Center.

The Minnesota Timberwolves team would start this game with Terrell Brandon playing as PG, Anthony Peeler playing as SG, Sam Mitchell playing as SF, Joe Smith, and Kevin Garnett playing as PF and Kevin defending against Shaq in that game.

"Welcome to everyone who came to watch this game this season, this is the third game between the Los Angeles Lakers team and the Minnesota Timberwolves team, the Lakers team won the first 2 games."

"If the Los Angeles Lakers team wins this game more they qualify for the next round and eliminate the Minnesota Timberwolves team, but this victory will not be easy because the Minnesota Timberwolves team plays at home in that game."

"The highlight of the Minnesota Timberwolves team is Kevin Garnett who played very well in the first two games, but failed to bring victory to the Minnesota Timberwolves team."

"The Los Angeles Lakers team has several players that can be called highlights, such as Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant, but the biggest highlight of the team this season has been the rookie, Jake Smith."

"Jake has been playing so well that he won this season’s rookie of the year award and is competing for the season’s MVP award, Jake will definitely work hard to bring victory to the Los Angeles Lakers team and ensure that the team moves forward third playoff game. "
