Chapter 82 A chance encounter with a sure-win scout
After asking Collins not to tell Dan about these things, Jamie decided to find an opportunity to see this strange Jones family.

After hearing Jamie's idea, Collins told him that there was an opportunity available right now.

The day after tomorrow, the Chris King High School basketball team will face another high school team from New York. This will be the first time that Big Michael officially represents the school team. At that time, the Tausi family will be there to cheer for Big Michael.

Jamie and Dan, as the authors of "The Weakness," were there to support Big Michael, which is exactly what they were supposed to do.

After being reminded by Collins, Jamie remembered that the publisher of "Weakness" had indeed contacted him, hoping that he could go to see Big Michael's first game the day after tomorrow.

Because there will be many media reporters present at the scene, this news can also help "Weakness" get another wave of free publicity.

But Jamie kind of knew what this had to do with the Jones family he'd just been discussing with Collins on the phone.

Could it be that Mike is also a member of the basketball team, and the Jones family will also come to the game to watch?

The result was once again beyond Jamie's expectations.

Collins mercilessly complained about Jamie's poor memory on the phone. She had just introduced the Jones family a few minutes ago and said that Mike's sister Jean Jones was a member of the little cheerleading team.

At the basketball league at Chris King High School, the cheerleaders definitely have to perform on stage.

By the way, Collins also revealed another reason why she dislikes the Jones family.

This family is so pushy.

The family will never miss any activity that can attract the attention of people around them, especially the Joneses. They always have endless time to relax and have fun, as if they don't have to go to work.

Jamie joked with Collins that maybe the Jones family had already achieved financial freedom and just needed to enjoy life for the rest of their lives.

Unexpectedly, Collins seized the opportunity and complained harshly again.

If you have achieved financial freedom, why would you move to New York? Wouldn't it be better to go directly to Florida or California to buy a beach house and live on vacation all day long?
In fact, this is indeed the choice of most wealthy families in the United States who have achieved financial freedom.

This proves from the side that the Jones family is indeed a bit abnormal.

On the day of the game, Jamie and Dan came to the Chris High School basketball gym together.

Originally Dan didn't want to come.

The reason is that all the promotional activities for "Weakness" only require Jamie to be present.

No matter whether they are book fans or media reporters present, no one is interested in paying attention to another unknown author.

Jamie eventually used Mike as a reason to convince Dan.

They were originally here to observe Jenny's new boyfriend, but as soon as they entered the basketball gym, they saw Mike and Jenny sitting together in the stands, kissing passionately and taking selfies with their mobile phones.

If Jamie hadn't stopped him, Dan would have rushed up to question him immediately.

Soon Mike and Jenny also discovered Dan.

Because they saw that all the media reporters present gave up capturing the figure of Big Michael who was warming up on the court and focused their cameras in the direction of the entrance of the arena.

Jamie was soon surrounded by reporters.

Dan took the opportunity to escape and walked towards where Jenny and Mike were in the stands.

As soon as they met, Jenny complained that Dan should stay with Jamie so that he could get more exposure.

This will be helpful if Dan writes his own book in the future.

Dan loudly emphasized that he also wanted to do this, but only if his sister did not skip class and come to another school, and then kiss her new boyfriend in the stands like this.

The two were very unhappy as soon as they met.

At this moment, a couple walked over.

"Mike, we saw that Jenny and you seemed to have had some quarrels with this gentleman. What happened?"

This was the first time Dan met the Joneses.

Although he had already learned about the basic situation of the Jones family, Dan was still stunned for a moment when he saw Mike's parents in person.

Judging from Mike's age, both of them are at least in their 40s, but they look much younger than their peers.

Even if Mrs. Jones is so well-maintained, even Mr. Jones is like this, which is really beyond Dan's expectation.

Mike introduced Dan's identity to his parents.

Mr. Jones immediately offered his hand to Dan.

It could be seen that she and her wife were really in love, and even when shaking hands with Dan, her other hand was still around Mrs. Jones's waist.

Mr. Jones showed a keen interest in Dan's identity as a writer and talked with Dan about many literary topics.

Dan never found a chance to talk to the Joneses about his sister Jenny.

He didn't necessarily want to stop his sister from falling in love, he just wanted to know the Jones family's attitude towards this matter.

It wasn't until the game was about to start that Jamie, who was standing on the edge of the court, waved to Dan and motioned for him to come down and take a photo with Big Michael, and Dan was able to get away.

Before leaving, Dan gave Jenny a serious look, but all he got in return was an indifferent eye roll from his sister.

When they came to the basketball court, Jamie saw that Dan looked wrong and asked him in a low voice what happened.

Jamie had just seen Dan shaking hands and chatting with the Joneses in the stands, but he didn't notice anything wrong with Dan's face at that time.Dan shook his head, indicating that this was not the place to talk.

The two walked to Big Michael together. The Taosi family and Big Michael's teammates were also there. They all stood in the middle of the basketball court and took a group photo.

Many students and parents in the stands raised their mobile phones or cameras, wanting to take pictures of this scene.

At this time, Jamie noticed that Mr. Jones was holding a latest digital camera in his hand and introducing it to another middle-aged man who looked like a parent next to him.

At the same time, Mike was holding a flip camera phone that had just been launched recently, and was asking a boy sitting in the front row to take photos of him and Jenny.

This scene seemed like nothing to others, but Jamie’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Combining all the previous information, he felt that he already knew the identity of the Jones family!
beep! !

The buzzer sounded at the end of the second quarter.

Seeing Michael walking off the basketball court with a disappointed look on his face, Mrs. Taosi, who was sitting on the sidelines, immediately stood up and cheered her adopted son loudly.

Michael's performance in the first two quarters was somewhat unsatisfactory.

第一节首发上场打了6分钟，4分0篮板1助攻0抢断0封盖的数据并不好看。

第二节比赛开始8分钟后，大迈克尔被替换上场，6分1篮板1助攻0抢断1封盖，数据有了一些进步。

It can be seen that both his teammates on the field and the coaching staff off the field are not satisfied with Michael's performance.

This made Jamie, who was also sitting on the sidelines, a little worried about whether Michael would get enough playing time in the remaining two quarters.

At this moment, a man's voice suddenly sounded from the back row.

"Don't worry, if I were Chris King's coach, I would still let Michael play next. This kid needs more time to adapt to the game and his teammates, especially in a debut environment like today, and I gave him a lot of time. pressure."

Jamie turned his head, trying to see who the guy behind him was who seemed to be able to guess his thoughts as if he could read his mind.

What caught his eye was a face full of beards, which made it difficult for Jamie to judge the other person's true age.

Maybe in his 30s, maybe in his 40s.

However, the other person's face resembled that of Adam Sandler, the Hollywood comedy star in his previous life, which immediately made Jamie think of a possibility.

"Hello, my name is Stanley Sugarman, currently playing for the Philadelphia 76ers."

The bearded man took the initiative to hand his hand to Jamie.

"Are you an NBA player?"

Jamie asked curiously as they shook hands.

The bearded Stanley immediately shook his head.

"It used to be, but I didn't make it to the NBA and played in other leagues. Now I'm a scout."

Before he let go of his hand, Jamie followed.

"Any thoughts on joining the Bulls?"

Stanley was stunned on the spot, and in the end he could only use humor to resolve the embarrassment.

"You must be kidding me, right?"

Unfortunately, Jamie was not amused, and the expression on his face became more serious.

"No, I'm serious. You can consider it. This is an opportunity to work with Jordan."

Stanley's mouth opened wide in shock, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.

At this time, the dynamic music sounded, and Jamie turned his head and looked at the cheerleader girls who were wearing cool clothes and trotting onto the field.

All long-legged blonde girls, this must be praised!
Among them, Jamie discovered a girl who was very eye-catching in both figure and appearance.

She has an almost perfect face with golden proportions. Her delicate little face, deep facial features, and full of collagen reveal unparalleled youthful vitality.

Even though he was not in the front row leading the dance, he easily attracted the attention of all the men in the room.

Jamie glanced sideways at the stands behind him. Not only the boys from King Chris High School raised their cameras or mobile phones, focusing on the cheerleader girls who were shaking their hair and dancing on the field, but also their parents. The reporters present could not help but cast their eyes on that sexy and charming girl.

This also includes Dan, who is sitting next to Jamie, and Stanley, the bearded scout who just struck up a conversation with Jamie.

Dan was looking at it in awe, when Jamie's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Any idea of ​​asking her for her phone number?"

Dan was so frightened that he quickly looked away. Just as he was about to deny that he had such thoughts, Stanley, who was sitting behind the two of them, suddenly said something.

"I know this girl, her name is Jean Jones, the star of the cheerleading team at Chris King High School. Damn, when I was in high school, there were no beautiful girls like this in the school."

Dan turned around in astonishment and looked at the Jones couple standing up in the stands behind them to take pictures and cheer loudly. Only then did he realize that they were the same family as the charming and beautiful girl on the field.

I have to admit that this family’s appearance genes are really strong.
