After instructing Collins not to tell Dan about this, Jamie decided to look for an opportunity to see the strange Jones family.

Upon learning of Jamie's idea, Collins told him that there was a ready-made opportunity right now.

The day after tomorrow, the King Chris High School basketball team will face another high school team from New York, and this is the first time Michael has officially played for the varsity team, and the Taussy family will be on hand to cheer for Michael Jr.

Jamie and Dan, as the authors of "Weakness", were supposed to be on the scene to support Big Michael.

Reminded by Collins, Jamie remembered that the publisher of "Weakness" had indeed contacted him, hoping that he would be able to watch Michael Jr.'s first game the day after tomorrow.

Because there will be a lot of media reporters at the scene, this news can also help "Weakness" carry out a wave of free publicity.

But Jamie kind of understood what it had to do with the Jones family, which he had just discussed with Collins on the phone.

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

Once again, the result was beyond Jamie's expectations.

Collins was unsparing in complaining on the phone that Jamie had a bad memory, and that she had only said a few minutes earlier that Mike's sister, Jane Jones, was part of the cheerleading team.

At the basketball league at King Chris High School, the cheerleaders are sure to take the stage.

By the way, Collins also complained about another reason why she didn't like the Jones family.

This family is so showy.

The family is not absent from any activity that attracts the attention of those around them, especially the Joneses, who always have endless time to relax and have fun, as if they didn't have to go to work.

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

Unexpectedly, Collins seized the opportunity and complained again.

If you've already achieved financial freedom, why move to New York, go straight to Florida or California and buy a beach house, where you spend all day on vacation?

In fact, this is indeed the choice of most wealthy families in the United States who have achieved financial freedom.

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

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

Originally, Dan didn't want to come.

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

Whether it was a book lover or a media reporter in attendance, there was no interest in paying attention to another unknown author.

Eventually, Jamie used Mike as a reason to convince Dan.

Originally, they came to observe Jenny's new boyfriend, but as soon as the two walked into the basketball hall, the two saw Mike and Jenny sitting together kissing and taking selfies with their mobile phones in the stands.

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

Soon Mike and Jenny also discover Dan.

Because they saw that the media reporters who were present gave up capturing the figure of Michael who was warming up on the court, and focused their cameras on the direction of the entrance of the stadium.

Jamie was soon surrounded by a group of reporters.

Dan took the opportunity to get out and walked towards Jenny and Mike in the stands.

As soon as they meet, Jenny complains that Dan should stay with Jamie so that he can get more exposure.

This will be very helpful for Dan to publish his own book in the future.

Dan loudly emphasized that he wanted to do the same, but only if his sister did not skip class and ran to another school, and kissed in the stands with her boyfriend she had just met.

As soon as the two met, they were very unhappy.

Just then, a couple walked over to this side.

"Mike, we see that Jenny and you seem to have had some quarrel with this gentleman, what happened?"

It was the first time Dan had met the Jones.

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

Judging by Mike's age, both of them are at least in their forties, but they look far younger than their peers.

It was okay that Mrs. Jones was so well maintained, even Mr. Jones, which was really a bit unexpected by Dan.

Mike introduces Dan's identity to his parents.

Mr. Jones immediately handed his hand to Dan.

It was evident that she was so affectionate to her wife that she even put her other hand around Mrs. Jones's waist when she shook Dan's hand.

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

Dan never had a chance to talk to the Jones couple about his sister Jenny.

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

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

Before leaving, Dan glared at Jenny solemnly, only to get his sister's indifferent eyes.

When he came to the basketball court, Jamie saw that Dan's face was not right, and asked him in a whisper what was wrong.

Jamie had just seen Dan shaking hands and chatting with the Jones couple in the stands, and he didn't notice anything wrong with Dan's face at the time.

Dan shook his head, signaling that this was not the place to speak.

The two walked up to Big Michael together, and the Taussy family and Big Michael's teammates were also there, and everyone stood in the middle of the basketball court for a group photo.

Many students and parents in the stands raised their mobile phones or cameras to capture the scene.

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

At the same time, Mike is also holding a flip camera phone that has just been launched, and is asking a boy sitting in the front row to take pictures of him and Jenny.

This scene was nothing in the eyes of others, but Jamie's eyes narrowed slightly.

Combined with all the previous information, he felt as if he already knew the identity of the Jones family!

Honk!!

The whistle blew at the end of the second quarter.

Seeing Big Michael walk off the basketball court with a disappointed face, Mrs. Taussy, who was sitting on the sidelines, immediately stood up and cheered her adopted son loudly.

Big Michael's performance in the first two quarters was a bit underwhelming.

The starters played six minutes in the first quarter, with 4 points, 0 rebounds, 1 assist, 0 steals and 0 blocks.

Eight minutes into the second quarter, Big Michael was substituted and had 6 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 0 steals and 1 block, and his statistics had improved somewhat.

It can be seen that neither the teammates on the field nor the coaching staff off the field are not very satisfied with Michael's performance.

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

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

"Don't worry, if I were the coach of King Chris, I would still have Michael on the pitch and this kid needs more time to adapt to the game and his teammates, especially in a debut environment like today, which puts a lot of pressure on him."

Jamie turned his head to see who the guy behind him was who had guessed his thoughts as if he had a mind reader.

What caught his eye was a face with a full beard, which made Jamie a little difficult to judge the real age of the other party.

It could be in your thirties, or it could be in your forties.

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

"Hello, I'm Stanley Sugman, and I'm currently playing for the Philadelphia 76ers."

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

"You're an NBA player?"

As he shook hands, Jamie asked curiously.

The bearded Stanley immediately shook his head.

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

Before he could let go of his hand, Jamie followed.

"Any idea to jump ship to the Bulls?"

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

"You must be joking with me, right?"

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

"No, I'm serious, you can think about it, this is an opportunity to work with Jordan."

Stanley's mouth was so startled that he didn't know what to say for a long time.

At this time, the dynamic music sounded, and Jamie also turned his head and looked at the cheerleading girls who were dressed in cool clothes and trotting on the field.

All long-legged blonde girls, this must be praised!

In it, Jamie discovers a girl who is very eye-catching both in figure and appearance.

She uses an almost perfect golden ratio face, delicate small face, deep facial features, and full of collagen to reveal unparalleled youthful vitality.

Even if he didn't stand in the first row of the lead dancer, he easily attracted the attention of all the men in the audience.

Jamie glanced sideways at the stands behind him, not only the boys from King Chris High School raised their cameras or mobile phones, and the camera was aimed at the cheerleading girls who were shaking off the hot dance on the field, but even their parents and reporters at the scene couldn't help but focus on the sexy and charming girl.

This also includes Dan, who sits next to Jamie, and Stanley, the bearded scout who just accosted Jamie.

Dan was fascinated by it, and Jamie's voice rang in his ears.

"Any idea to go to her and ask for a phone number?"

Dan was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his gaze, and was about to deny that he had such an idea, when Stanley, who was sitting behind the two, suddenly burst out.

"I know this girl, her name is Jane Jones, the focal point of King Chris's high school cheerleading squad. Damn, when I was in high school, there weren't any beautiful girls like this in school. ”

Dan looked back in amazement and looked at the Jones couple who stood up in the back stands and cheered loudly while taking pictures, and only then did he realize that they were a family with the glamorous and bright girl on the field.

I have to admit that the appearance genes of this family are really strong.
