《Be happy with sports 》Chapter 524: The Season Continues 4
Advertisement
"The commercial that you will have to narrate, gives the idea that you have a lot of resistance and can run the marathons and play 48 minutes in the games because you drink Gatorade drinks."
"In this commercial, they will show some scenes of you playing in the games of the Los Angeles Lakers team and they will also show some recordings of you running some marathons."
"For this commercial you will have to record some scenes training on the court, running on the athletics track and exercising at the gym."
"You will say that to play 48 minutes in all games, and to run marathons over 42 km quickly, you have to train hard every day, and during games and training you need to hydrate and recover your energies drinking Gatorade."
Jake liked the idea of the commercial, it was a positive message that someone had to strive for better results and spoke well of the Gatorade brand, of course, the idea of the commercial was to suggest that drinking Gatorade helped Jake to have more resistance, but that was normal in product commercials.
It was really a creative commercial that used his skills to send a message that Gatorade was important for Jake to be a better athlete, David was calm to see that Jake liked it, many players were very proud and did not understand the marketing ideas that brands had.
"In the other commercial, it will show you playing basketball training to hit three-point shots, you will train three-point shots, and then you will train with a player defending against you."
"It will show you running on the athletics track looking like you are trying hard to run even harder, then you will stop and drink Gatorade and you will take a deep breath and keep running, and you will continue playing basketball."
"The two commercials have a similar message and will be commercials with little time and they will sometimes put a bottle of Gatorade to promote their product."
Jake did not find this commercial as creative as the other, but as David said the idea of this other commercial was to highlight the product and Jake would only help by attracting the attention of consumers.
Jake agreed to this commercial as well and soon they started with Jake recording the narration for the first commercial, Jake was good at acting and needed to repeat the phrases just a few times so that the director liked it and the narration part ended.
Then Jake took some pictures that would be used to promote Gatorade products in newspapers, magazines and other ways, that was normal and Jake would have to do that for other companies as well.

After that they left the company with a film crew and went first to a gym that the advertising company had already booked, they knew they only had one day to record the commercial, so they had to be quick.
The gym part was simple, Jake just had to do some exercises that he normally did and the team would film him doing the exercises and the director would choose the best scenes later.
The most important scene was after Jake had started to sweat he would do it by taking a bottle of Gatorade and drinking, Jake did everything easily in 40 minutes and they were able to go to a court that was close to the gym to record the next scene.
In the court that was in an Arena, they would record for the two commercials, first Jake did some things that he did in his normal training and the film crew was filming everything that Jake did.
Jake recorded a drinking scene in a Gatorade bottle and one of the commercials had been recorded, after Jake changed his clothes to start recording the other commercial, Jake tried to hit the three-point shots for a few minutes.
Then another hired actor came on the court trying to defend against Jake by hindering him so that Jake wouldn't hit the three-point shots, and that was the scene, then Jake drank in a Gatorade grab, took a deep breath and continued training.
There was nothing for the director to send Jake to redo the scenes that were just him doing his training, the director just had to order the camera operators and lighting personnel and after more than an hour, the recording ended on the court.
After Jake went to an athletics track and started running, the camera operators had more difficulty making the recordings with Jake running around the track, after all the camera operators could not run along with Jake.
Just like in other shops Jake drank from the bottle of Gatorade and changed his clothes and started running again, this time he had to act to look like he was very tired even though he had only run a few kilometers.
To record this part of the commercial they had more difficulty because the camera operators and the film crew had to stop to rest and could not keep up with Jake's resistance.
Jake surprised everyone with his great resistance, even without any preparation Jake could run several kilometers without getting tired, after a few hours the film crew managed to finish recording the commercial.

They were lucky because if they took a few more hours it would start to get dark, Jake still talked to David about some things and then went to his house as he had already finished his work.
Jake was not tired even with all the things he did on the commercials recordings, he can still enjoy the rest of the day to rest, Jake was happy to record the commercials and even called Eva to tell her that soon she could see some of his commercials on television.
Eva was already used to watching Jake's commercials on television, but even so, she was happy to know that Jake had recorded more commercials and would record even more that month, Eva was proud to see Jake's commercials on television.
Eva still remembered the difficult times where she had to work much more than normal to earn just enough so that she and Jake could have a simple life, now she only worked because she liked her restaurant and all of that was thanks to what Jake did it.
Eva was also happy that Jake had found a girlfriend he loved and who was also very talented like him, even though she missed Jake who spent most of the year away from home, Eva knew that this happened in all families.
The next day came the Los Angeles Lakers team's next game, Jake went to the Great Western Forum and saw the Los Angeles Lakers crowd that had come to fill the arena again.
Many fans of the Los Angeles Lakers team had already bought the new shirt with the name of Jake and the number 7 that was his number this season, Jake was happy with the affection of the fans, his nickname was also shouted by the fans during the games.
After some time Jake went to the locker room and the players went to the court to start the game, the opponent in that game was the Golden State Warriors team, this was Jake's first NBA game playing against one of his former teammates on the Tar Heels team.
Playing on the Golden State Warriors team was former teammate Tar Heels and Jake's friend, Antawn Jamison was chosen by the Toronto Raptors team and was replaced by Vince Carter who had been chosen by the Golden State Warriors team.
Unfortunately Jake knew that Antawn was not having many opportunities to play this season, Antawn would still play in most games, but he would not play more than 24 minutes on average, Jake thought this was a mistake by the Golden State Warriors team.
Jake was well aware of Antawn's skills, how he could attack well and catch a lot of rebounds, the only defect Antawn was that he was not very good at defending, but the Golden State Warriors team lacked one of the best defenses and needed an attack much better if they wanted to win the games.
"Welcome to everyone who came to watch one more game this NBA season, today's game is between the Los Angeles Lakers team and the Golden State Warriors team."
"The Los Angeles Lakers team plays this game at home and they have the best attack this season and also the team has done an excellent season with 20 wins and only one defeat in 21 games."
"The Los Angeles Lakers team has all-star Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, both of whom have played very well this season and have been important to these Los Angeles Lakers victories.
"Rookie Jake Smith has been the main player on this team with an average of over 33 points and 11 assists per game, Jake is certainly the best rookie of this season and is one of the best players this season."
"The Golden State Warriors team has had an average season, they have 9 wins and 10 losses in 19 games this season, they have no player who is the highlight of that team this season."
"The current Golden State Warriors team can be happy if they make it into the playoffs this season."
The Los Angeles Lakers team would start the game with Jake Smith playing as PG, Kobe Bryant playing as SG, Rick Fox playing as SF, Robert Horry playing as PF, and Shaquille O'Neal playing as Center.
The Golden State Warriors team would start the game with Bimbo Coles playing as PG, John Starks playing as SG, Chris Mills playing as SF, Donyell Marshall playing as PF, and Erick Dampier playing as Center.
The game started and Shaquille O'Neal won the first ball possession for the Los Angeles Lakers, Shaq passed the ball to Jake who started to organize the attack, Jake advanced the ball and passed it to Kobe Bryant on the right.
Kobe received the ball and John Starks came in pressing on defense, Kobe held the ball and passed it to Rick Fox on the left, Rick received the ball and Chris Mills arrived to press in defense.

Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore warning not because my book is overly gory (It's not constantly blood and guts). However, there are several moments that are extremely violent. I've always loved shows/movies such as, (The Expanse, The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, Attack on Titan, Baccano, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with violence. So be warned :) I've worked long and hard and have finally finished my third draft. Still needs work but everything storywise is complete. There are still a few things I need to add and tweak. Grammatical errors and flushing out the characters and dialogue still needs work. If you see any errors or plot holes, please feel free to point them out. It helps me improve upon the story.

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
