The whole family had a look of life worse than death, and only Krees still stood quietly next to Jonathan, watching Jonathan keep scribbling on his work. Vertices are updated the fastest

Looking at Krees, Jonathan's heart finally got a trace of comfort, and he smiled and stroked Kress's little head: "Kreese is still the smartest, only she knows what real art is! Wait a minute! My little angel, I will let you have the most delicious dinner in a while!"

Jonathan's pride didn't last long, and he was soon sent back to hell by Kreese's words: "Dad! I just want to know if we're going to eat this charcoal later?"

Immediately, everyone present burst into laughter, Jonathan didn't understand what was going on for a while, and when he saw the beef that was being burned under his hands and was slowly carbonized, his face suddenly turned red with shame.

"Oh, no, dear, we all believe in your craft, it's an accident! really! it's just an accident!" the aunt laughed as she watched her husband's face darken, and took Jonathan's shoulders and began to comfort her husband. But looking at her face, which was distorted by forced laughter, it didn't look like it was sincere!

"Okay!Okay!That's right! It's just an accident!" Jonathan stuffed his apron into his aunt's hand a little depressed, walked to the side of the chaise longue and sat down, adjusted a comfortable position, and said with his arm on his pillow, "I think I'm still eating ready-made today!"

Without Jonathan's troublemaker, the smell of barbecue soon came from the Lamar family's courtyard. As for those who were ruined by Jonathan, Jonathan carefully brought them to Datinis's beloved Anthony, and as a result, Anthony was so frightened that he ran away and didn't dare to come back until Lamar called him.

The barbecue for dinner was quickly placed on the table, around which the family sat and Jonathan, as the head of the family, brought up a coconut milk wine full of local specialties.

"It's a great thing for every member of our family to have such a relaxing holiday. A lot of things happened some time ago, some happy and some unhappy. Vanessa, I'm so glad you brought us this little angel Leon. Don't be discouraged, you still have a lot of opportunities, and we're all standing by your side watching you!"

After Jonathan's words were finished, he raised the cup high, and everyone raised the cup as well, and everyone touched it gently.

Unfortunately, leisure time is always very short for Lamar, and before Lamar could relax his body and mind, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

When I looked at the number, I found that it was Jeff Van Gundy, and I don't know why Lamar suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Hello!

Lamar said with a smile, but his smile quickly froze. The bad thing in his premonition finally came, although he had a warning in advance, but he didn't expect it to be such a news!

In the season that has ended, the Knicks have had a brilliant process and a record of 13 consecutive wins in the great playoffs, but in the end, for some reason, they did not get satisfactory results.

However, because of Lamar, because of Lamar's commitment at the end of the Finals, the Knicks' executives, fans in New York still have high expectations for their new season.

However, the Knicks have a lot of things to face this summer, first of all, the preparation for the new season in the summer, and more importantly, the issue of player contract extensions.

Among them, their leader Lamar is already negotiating with the management on the contract extension, and the initial intention has also reached a 4-year 72 million+ deal veto! The Knicks' management believes that with the fat contract they signed with Lamar, it is impossible for anyone to take Lamar away from New York.

Some other key players, the team's main point guard, Chancey Billups, agreed to a contract extension as soon as negotiations with the Knicks began. Finally, after a period of tug-of-war, the Knicks successfully kept this big-hearted guard who was unanimously favored by many celebrities in the league with a five-year 61 million contract.

Although this contract is not top-notch, it is at least a lot better than in the previous life.

In addition, Shaun Battier, Gilbert Arenas, and Darmsport are all rookies who have accumulated Lamar under rookie contracts.

However, with the mutual signing of Lamar and Billups, the Knicks now have four players with tens of millions of contracts on the roster: Lamar Odom, Alan Houston, Chauncy Billups and Antonio Davis!

Although the Knicks will face a very high luxury tax after the start of the new season, for Dolan, who has deep pockets, this amount of money is not a big deal compared to the dream Knicks dynasty.

As long as there is a championship, Dolan doesn't even care about going bankrupt! In this respect, Dolan doesn't look like a successful businessman at all, but he is definitely a human boss.

But just as the Knicks' management was desperate to keep all of last season's key players and build on the original roster to build a true championship around Lamar, they ran into the biggest problem.

Originally, when Dolan thought that he could sit back and relax after solving Lamar's big contract with Billups, Alan Houston, who had just signed a 100 million yuan contract in 2001, had a big problem on his side.

When the Knicks executives, who were full of ambition to prepare for the new season, received the news that the agent of the pitcher requested a trade, Dolan was stunned, Jeff Van Gundy was stunned, and even Darrell Morey, the general manager of the team, was stunned!

None of them could figure out what was going on with Alan Houston, knowing that his current salary was the highest in the entire Knicks, and even Lamar couldn't compare to him. Although Alan Houston is no longer the team's main player since Lamar came to New York, there is no reason for Alan Houston to seek a trade.

Although Alan Houston is the Knicks' second-in-command, an All-Star-level player, and Lamar's most secure assistant, he is not young after all. Maybe in a few years, after the end of this big contract, he will have the option to retire!

It is completely impossible for a player like Houston who has passed his prime to become the star of another strong team, even if he goes to fish belly to be the boss, it is not interesting!

Alan Houston's unusually determined attitude towards being traded made Jeff Van Gundy feel at a loss. He approached Alan Houston and tried to convince the guy to change his mind, but Alan Houston gave him a very crisp response. No why, no salary, no big money, just don't want to stay with the Knicks anymore!

You must know that Alan Houston's big contract has three years left, nearly 66 million. Even if he is put into the player trade market, there will definitely be few teams that can eat this big contract, and there are almost no teams that have the strength to compete for the championship!

So what's in Houston?

"He really didn't say anything, and what kind of team he wants to join?"

Lamar was also shocked when he got the news from Jeff Van Gundy. He really couldn't understand why Alan Houston would refuse to stay with him, it didn't make any sense at all!

Although the team has lost the championship for two consecutive seasons, anyone with eyes can see that it is the stage of the team's continuous improvement. The team's young players are maturing, and by the time the new season begins, Lamar is 100 percent confident that he can start a Knicks whirlwind in the league.

But at this time when the situation was good, Alan Houston actually had the idea of leaving, which really puzzled him.

"Yes! He doesn't say anything! Damn it! I don't understand what that bastard is up to, he doesn't even want to answer my call right now. I've had people contact him several times, but each time he hung up without saying a word. ”

"Lamar! I don't expect much from him, I think we're going to lose an outside offensive weapon soon. I'm reluctant, though, but that's the way it is. Now no one can convince him, because no one knows the reason at all, and no one knows what he is thinking!"

Jeff Van Gundy's words sounded very annoying, and you can imagine that when he was about to make a big play in the new season, he actually learned that one of his big men was leaving.

But Van Gundy is most worried about not this, but once Alan Houston really leaves, then who else can pull up the formation for Lamar and provide stable mid-range shooting for the Knicks, and then Lamar can still have so much power?

What Jeff Van Gundy was thinking, Lamar knew clearly. It was also the question that came to his mind when he heard that Alan Houston had asked to be traded. He didn't care if he could have someone around him to share the scoring pressure with him, but who wouldn't want to play a little easier.

"Okay! Jeff, it's better not to let the reporters know about this first, and if the news is released early, who knows what they will say!"

After speaking, Lamar didn't wait for Jeff Van Gundy to answer, and hung up the phone directly. Then Lamar walked out alone with a gloomy face, and what he needed most now was to clear his mind and figure out why Alan Houston chose to leave at this time.

Is it for the position of the team leader?
