Chapter 528 The Season Continues 8

Jake imagined that when he had this skill in the SS rank he could cry when he wanted to and no one could tell if he was faking or feeling real emotion, it was a skill that any actor would want to have.

Jake's Communication Skills skill was previously in rank B and now they were in rank A, this was a fundamental skill for the actors to have, he had to pass confidence and emotions in his voice and speak in a way that anyone could understand.

This was an important skill for an actor and very important for anyone, with good Communication Skills a person would never have a hard time saying what he wanted to say in a way that everyone understood.

The Photographic Memory skill also improved from rank B to rank A, this ability was already great for Jake in rank B, he did not forget the scripts he read and Jake also forgot a few things.

With this ability in rank A, he would practically forget nothing, this ability was even more important to Jake because with this ability Jake was also able to remember several things he had seen in his past life.

This was very important in business and basketball as well, Jake currently remembers all the games he saw only some news in his past life, so he would know when his teammates would be playing badly or when his team could lose.

The Positioning skill was also in the B ranking and was in the A rank now, this ability improved a lot after the movie in which Jake had to make special moves to do the fight scenes that were choreographed.

This skill could also help Jake in basketball to get more rebounds and make better plays, Jake was very happy with all of his skills that have improved a lot in recent years.

Jake also asked to see his statistics window for his third job, but the system said these skills had not changed since the last time Jake saw him, after all, Jake was already one of the best runners in the world winning almost all the marathons he participated and his main skills were in Rank S.

Jake improved his skills in basketball because he was not the best NBA player, there were many players who were much better than him in defense and other things, so Jake was still improving his skills.

Of course, Jake would still improve his skills in his third job when he started running the 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters and even short-distance athletics, but that would still take years to happen.

After talking to the system and seeing his skills improve, Jake was more excited to continue working on the next NBA games and the other things he did.

Jake managed to sleep well after being happy to see his stats and think about the past, that other day the Los Angeles Lakers team had no game and the players had only light training to do on the court and in the gym.

With the players having a day to rest between games, the medical team and coach Rambis were no longer so concerned, so in these important games coach, Rambis could let the main players play longer.

The next day came the next game for the Los Angeles Lakers team, the players went to the Target Center to prepare for the game, the opponent in that game is the Minnesota Timberwolves team.

This was the Los Angeles Lakers' second game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, in the first game the Los Angeles Lakers won and they were expected to win again.

Jake was still focused on that game because the opposing team had Kevin Garnett, Dennis Rodman would not play that game again and Robert Horry would not play either, so the pressure on defense was Travis Knight.

"Welcome to everyone who came to watch another game this NBA season, in the game today we have the Los Angeles Lakers team facing the Minnesota Timberwolves."

"The Minnesota Timberwolves team has been performing well this season with 13 wins and 9 losses in 22 games, the star of this team is Kevin Garnett who has been playing very well this season."

"The Los Angeles Lakers team has been having one of the best starts of the season in the history of this team, so far there are 22 wins and only 1 loss in 23 games, this team has had three coaches this season and some problems with player injuries."

"Stars Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant were very important for the Los Angeles Lakers team to have a great start to the season, but it was the entrance of rookie star Jake Smith that the Los Angeles Lakers team got the best attack of this season and a good defense."
