Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Third Upgrade & “I hate rich kids...”
"It never crosses our mind getting upset by Beavers but we lose in the end" Coach Roy Williams was frustrated after the game but accepted the interview: "We underestimated their no. 10 player, we clearly forgot him in the last minute and defending him was key point of the game."
"I can't bring back the past, I hope to play against them in the future and hope they can enter the next season" Raymond Felton
The Caltech Beavers popularity has become a sensation after the game. The videotape of the game also appeared on the desk of every NBA general managers. The significance of this game isn't only that Caltech has become a dark horse of this year's NCAA and the emergence of a great point guard.
After watching the game end, most of them has shaken their heads coz this game is full of too many shortcomings from a professional point of view. This isn't a conventional win, in terms of strength like Marvin Williams, Sean May, McCants and Felton of North Carolina is stronger several times against Beavers.
But the goddess of fortune chose to kiss Caltech Beavers' forehead and the Asian kid is the key to the Beavers comeback in the first half.
"Really this guy is great, smart, good dribbling skills, accurate passer and very tenacious but can he adapt to the intensity level of NBA. He can't stand on NBA for now" the Lakers general manager Jerry West said to Kupchak and the scout who highly recommended Jayson.
"All general managers' words were all the same, what else the other people can say about it? I can't flip the table and argue with him" the mutter in scout's mind.
While the other team general managers of the NBA are the same view with Jerry West. They don't even want to continue observe because at first glance, this slim body can't keep up with NBA's defensive intensity.
Jayson has no idea that he had caught the attention of NBA management. After returning to Beverly Hills, he called the system for another update and later he will be going to Avril's concert.
"The Host has accomplished the mission; you scored a career high thirty five points, gathered five rebounds, shared the ball with eleven times, stole the ball four times and block shots thrice. The Host has a total of fifty eight points and now available for distribution to upgrade."
"Please open the Status Display and I'll distribute the points" Jayson said.

After closing the Status Display, he change clothes and went to the concert of Avril. In her concert, she will be singing the songs on her new album which she promoting in advance. After the concert ended, many reporters came to interview and she talks about some music topics. Avril called Jayson to the stage and introduce him.
"This is my little brother and the younger brother of my best friend, he's a sophomore point guard of Caltech Beavers basketball team and he defeated two teams during this March Madness. Him being called Lindsay Lohan's boyfriend which is false and they just want to use my brother's identity to wash away Lohan's stains".
"She caused a lot of trouble to my brother's life, so I would like to request everyone to post this news and don't let those people swindle and lie shamelessly" Avril said.
Then the reporters began to ask Jayson questions, this was first time he was interviewed and he was little nervous.
"My relationship with Lindsay Lohan isn't intimate as boyfriend/girlfriend relations and this rumor have brought a lot of trouble to me and my ordinary life"
"I hope that Lindsay Lohan and her company would stop this nonsense because I really need to find a real girlfriend. I'm now a star on campus, this time will be the easiest time to find a girlfriend because of Lindsay Lohan, those girls won't date me and my good time is ruined."
"I can only be a friend to Lindsay Lohan; she doesn't seem bad as rumors say. After all, her IQ isn't high, very impulsive, she's not good in controlling her emotions and not good at listening to others advice" Jayson said
The entertainment media's favorite thing to report is break-up and this news isn't break-up of two celebrities but a NBA prospect and student of Caltech. This thing will be spreading widely, Lohan's not good with media relation, so everyone likes to report about her being a loser.
When Jayson was watching this on TV, he was a little surprised of the exaggeration of the media and he hope that she will not be traumatized by this. He felt some self-blame, she wasn't so bad and his remarks on media will have negative effect on her.
Lindsay Lohan replied on an interview: "I don't know he would say that" she cried on TV and said: "I should know that his family against me, Avril will say not good thing about me and our relationship."
Everyone was laughing at Lohan's one-sided love affair; but the next thing was they were touched by her tears and made-up story. In Lohan's story, she and Jayson are couple and Avril is an evil witch in their relationship.
"This must be the story her company had come up coz her IQ isn't high but her acting isn't bad" Jayson said.
"Yah, Every time I see her, I want to beat her badly" Avril was screamed with anger and her position in Lohan's story is the villain and she went to the gym to train.
The situation in the next game isn't good, as they will be going up against the fifth seed, University of Connecticut Huskies. The school has two core superstars, Emeka Okafor and Ben Gordon who're dominant inside and outside of the court.
Okafor is considered a top three pick in the draft and the super scorer Ben Gordon is a top five contender. This combination of inside and outside offensive threat is similar to Kobe-Shaq L.A Lakers combination.
Even though they defeated the North Carolina Tar Heels, received a lot of attention in NCAA but everyone thoughts they have no chance to beat the Huskies.
In this regard, Coach Olivia only arranged light training, she keeps on saying the boys are doing a good job and didn't give any pressure. This is same with Craig Hefferman, when the team came back from North Carolina Game, he personally pick them up and keep praising their efforts, especially Jayson coz he was sorry for his previous mistake.
He even emphasized with Jayson more than once he will apply a full basketball scholarship and the board also express their consent. However, Jayson believes that this should be given to Ryan Elmsquist, who came from the ghetto.
Compared to him, the other teammates came from middle-class families while Ryan is from slum and obviously he needs it more than him. Ryan was moved by Jayson's action, Coach Olivia also praises him and he couldn't adapt to this kind of praise and recognition by others.
Jayson said to them: "I don't have noble feeling to do it and I'm just a rich second-generation at home and have tens of thousands of pocket money. If the school boards introduce me to at least two top beauties in school will be much better motivation for me."
"The other reason is that I don't want my car being borrowed when I get a girlfriend in the future. God only knows if he has something to do with things in my car or should he also go buy car his own."
Jayson's jokes made the serious atmosphere of the meeting disappear and Coach Olivia look helpless coz she had no way to know Jayson's motives. Even Ryan Elmsquist is grateful, he doesn't like this kind of favor coz this will increase his psychological burden and really appreciate this cynical rich kid.
"I have to say that I hate rich kids in my experience but you're an unexpected event to my life" Ryan Elmsquist said.
