Chapter 81: An Invitation to a Model Family
Amid warm applause and whistles, the cheerleading show ended.
As soon as the music stopped, the originally smiling face of the cheerleader standing at the front was clouded in a blink of an eye.
During the performance, she sensed that something was wrong.
In the past, the eyes of the boys in the stands were basically on her.
But today, these guys are like they have collectively modified, and they ignore her and don't pay attention to her at all.
Even when she was performing, she threw winks and kisses on stage, and these guys were indifferent.
It's all because of the cheerleading team's new arrival!
She was cursing in her heart, but the voice behind her sounded the last thing she wanted to hear.
"Hey, Emma!"
The cheerleader was cursing in his heart for stealing the limelight from Bichi, and Jane Jones chased after her.
"Just now I noticed that your face suddenly became very bad, is it not feeling well? Need to take you to the doctor? ”
Hypocritical!
Emma looked at Jane with a cold gaze.
She doesn't eat that.
The sincere and sincere expression on Jane's face didn't change, but she could clearly read the hostility in Emma's eyes.
"Well, it looks like I'm the one who you off."
"I'm not going to apologize for that, but I still want to tell you that you danced great today, but your makeup and hairstyle really suck, the eyeshadow and lip gloss you chose didn't match the foundation color you used, and the hairstyle was the wrong style."
Emma was initially dismissive of these words, but when she saw up close that the delicate makeup, glittering lip gloss, and brightly colored eyeshadow on Jen's face were so appealing, she suddenly wavered a little.
After a brief exchange of makeup tips with Jane, a whole new world opens in front of Emma.
It wasn't until this moment that she didn't know that there were so many ways and exquisiteness to makeup.
Compared to Jane, she is like an ignorant dumpling.
Just as they were about to ask Jane for further advice, a court staff member came up to inform the two to hurry up and that they were going to clean the field and prepare for the next game.
Jane took Emma's arm, and the two walked off the field talking and laughing.
When Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones in the stands saw this scene, they all gave a thumbs up to Jane.
In the eyes of outsiders, the two are praising and encouraging their daughter's performance on the field just now.
In fact, only they know in their own hearts what the reason is.
Jamie reached out with one hand to the bearded scout Stanley in the back row, and the other to Dan, who was sitting next to him.
Frustrated, Stanley pulls out his wallet and pulls out a hundred-dollar bill and places it in Jamie's hand.
Dan also pulls a hundred dollars out of his pocket and gives it to Jamie.
The three of them just made a bet on whether the two would quarrel at the scene after Jane found the cheerleader Emma.
Dan and Stanley both felt that the two girls would definitely tear their faces directly.
After all, Emma's face stinked like that at that time.
Who knew it would turn out exactly as Jamie had guessed.
It took Jane a few words to defuse Emma's hostility.
The two were arm in hand when they left the game, and people who didn't know thought that the two were originally very good friends.
Both Stanley and Dan, who lost money, want to know why this is happening, but Jamie can't tell them the answer yet.
Jamie was about to announce his intention to use the money he had won to invite Stanley and Dan to a cup of coffee after the game.
Stanley suddenly slapped his thigh and said in annoyance, "I know!" What an idiot I'm in! ”
Both Jamie and Dan wonder what Stanley knows.
Stanley pointed at Jamie and explained to Dan:
"Is there a possibility that he and that beautiful girl already knew each other, and it was just a game they worked together."
Dan glanced at Jamie, then turned to look at Stanley in the back row.
That look seems to say, buddy, you're not sick in the brain, right?
Stanley held his head in his hands, looking speechless.
"I'm serious, a handsome and golden guy like him, when I was in high school, all the beautiful girls in the school would line up to date him, isn't it normal for him to know a few beautiful girls outside of school?"
As long as I have money, the beauties are mine!
Stanley's logic does sound fine.
Dan looked at Jamie again, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Jamie shrugged and happily admitted that he did "know" Jen Jones.
However, this "understanding" is not the kind of "understanding" that Stanley and Dan thought.
In the end, Dan chooses to believe Jamie.
The reason was that he didn't think Jamie would set up a game to trick the two of them for a mere $200 bet.
If it's two million, it's about the same.
Stanley was stunned on the spot.
Well, he really couldn't argue with that.
Although Jamie's dad had the money to buy it when the Bulls said he would buy it, he didn't even blink an eye.
At the beginning of the third quarter, everyone's attention returned to the court.
As Stanley predicted, Michael started the quarter and ended up playing the full game.
Although the opposing team still adopted a limited style of play against Big Michael, in the end, Big Michael still relied on the late quarter to break out, scoring 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 interceptions, 2 main attacks and 3 blocks.
At the end of the third quarter, Stanley jumped up from his seat in excitement, as if Michael Sr. was to the credit for his bravery on the court.
It wasn't until the fourth quarter was about to start and Stanley sat back down that Jamie learned from Stanley why he was so excited.
He really didn't misunderstand Big Michael, this black boy definitely has the potential to grow into a superstar in the league in the future.
Jamie can only agree with the second half of this conclusion.
He knows that Big Michael is now holding James's life script, as long as he successfully enters the NBA and grows up, a supergiant position in the league will definitely not be able to run.
But wasn't Michael's basketball talent discovered by the Taussy family?
This is what Dan told him personally when he interviewed the Taussy family, and this interview was also written directly into "Weakness".
Now Stanley says he was optimistic about Michael Sr. early on, especially in front of the two authors of "Weakness."
Jamie wanted to ask Stanley, who gave you the courage to say such big things?
"I'm not lying, two years ago, I went on a business trip to Memphis to check on a player from the local high school, and I drove the wrong way into the slum where Michael was born, and I saw Michael play a game of wild ball with other people, but I thought that kid was a potential stock."
"I only had time to find out the name and address of the host family, but when I got my hands on it and found the host family, I was told that Michael had been officially adopted by a kind white couple."
"But when I found the Taussie, before I could get out of the car, I saw Mrs. Tausy give Big Michael a new set of rugby gear, and after inquiring, I found out that they had decided to let Big Michael play rugby, and I was still depressed for a long time because of this."
Seeing Stanley's appearance doesn't look like a lie, and both Jamie and Dan are shocked.
It can only be said that Stanley's luck is indeed a bit back.
Big Michael was discovered before the Taussy couple, but was finally taken first.
Jamie and Dan teamed up to publish a book about the touching story of Big Michael and the Taussy family, and now that "Weakness" has sold more than 5 million copies in the United States, Stanley came out at this time, saying that he had discovered Big Michael earlier.
If you had said it earlier, it would have been written into a book together.
As soon as "Weakness" was published, Stanley was able to become famous.
Stanley himself was frustrated by this, but he was relieved to see Michael Jr.'s basketball talent on display.
This proves that he was right-eyed.
Stanley said he would never miss out on a player as talented as Michael Big again.
At this time, Dan suddenly asked.
"If you were to meet a player in a similar situation to Michael Jr., what would you do to convince him?"
Stanley pointed to Michael Sr., who was put to rest on the sidelines by the coach in the fourth quarter.
"He's the best reason to convince you."
"But how do you convince people that you discovered Big Michael before the Taussy family?"
Dan continued to ask again.
This question stopped Stanley.
At this time, Jamie suddenly opened his mouth and once again sent an invitation to Stanley to jump to the Bulls, and promised that as long as Stanley agreed, when "Weakness" was republished, he would write Stanley's experience into the book to correct Stanley's name.
Although it is a bit of a danger to others, this simple and crude condition really makes Stanley extremely excited.
After thinking about it for a few minutes, Stanley finally refused.
The owner of the 76ers offered him his current job as a scout when he was injured and could no longer play.
Although the job is far from being as interesting as the average person thinks, it is not uncommon to visit seven cities in five days, and you have to take care of all the food, clothing, housing and transportation yourself.
Every day I was either watching the game, or on the way to the stadium, and I had to work overtime at night to write and sort out data, which was busy and extremely boring.
But Stanley sincerely loves this job, and he also wants to use his own vision to repay the boss's appreciation back then.
Seeing this, Jamie didn't try to persuade him any more.
He knew that the 76ers owner who appreciated Stanley would suddenly die of illness when he was about to retire.
He was succeeded by the boss's youngest son, who had some trouble with Stanley, and then Stanley would be kicked to Europe on a business trip, so he met his "real man" - a talented power forward who was born as a construction worker.
Eventually, after some twists and turns, Stanley brought the power forward to the NBA, where he finally proved his vision as he was promoted to assistant coach by the new owner.
Now that he has cut off Hu Stanley, he will not be able to cut off his future chances.
When he meets the child of destiny, it's not too late to cut off his beard.
At the end of the game, King Chris High School finally defeated the opponent 97-92 to win the first game of the high school league.
Big Michael wasn't the best player in the game, but it was good to have that kind of performance in his first game as a rookie.
After the game, many reporters gathered around Michael and Tausi's family to interview and take pictures.
At this point, Jamie proposes to enlist the help of the reporters present to take a separate photo of him with Dan, Stanley, and Big Michael.
Stanley instantly understood Jamie's intentions.
With this photo, he can prove to others that he was indeed the first to spot Big Michael's basketball talent.
This will be of great help to him in discovering new talents in the future.
After thanking Jamie earnestly, the four of them stood next to Big Michael and posed under the guidance of a reporter at the scene.
Jamie was very thoughtful to give up the C position to Stanley and Big Michael, and he and Dan stood on either side, and the four of them were shoulder to shoulder.
The flash lights up and the photo freezes.
After the photo shoot, Stanley shook hands with Jamie and Dan to say goodbye.
Jamie also went to say hello to the Taosi family, and by the way, he cooperated with the reporter to take a few photos with the Taoxi family.
And Dan was going to talk to the Jones family at this time, if they hadn't left yet.
At this moment, everyone unexpectedly found that Jane Jones, who had changed into a regular uniform, was walking towards this side.
Stanley, who was already about to leave, suddenly changed his mind and decided to stay and watch the fun.
He still insisted on his previous opinion, believing that Jamie and Jane Jones had known each other for a long time.
Including Dan was also a little shaken at this time.
He wasn't narcissistic enough to think that a beautiful woman with an angelic face and a devilish body would come this way, and the target would be himself rather than the handsome Fu Jamie next to him.
Could it be that Jamie and Jen really knew each other before?
That's when Jamie suddenly spoke.
"Want to win back the hundred dollars you lost? Do you want to make another bet. ”
Stanley and Dan asked in unison what to bet on.
Looking at Jen, who was about to walk over, Jamie smiled and said the content of the bet.
He gambled that Jane definitely didn't come looking for him this time.
Stanley and Dan were stunned together.
Stanley was the first to react, loudly emphasizing that he would never be fooled again, and Jamie must have made an appointment with Jane beforehand.
Dan hesitated.
This bet did not work out in the end, because Jane had already walked in front of the three.
"Hey!"
Jane raised her hand to say hello to Jamie and the others, and then her eyes fell on Dan.
"Mr. Humphrey, my family would like to invite you to the house, and Jenny will go with him, I wonder if you have time?"
Dan gave Jamie a surprised look.
At the same time, he also saw that in the stands behind him, the Jones, Mike, and Jenny were all waving to this side.
Everything was said by Jamie.
Stanley patted Dan, who was still stunned, and he was going to go first.
Seeing Stanley turn to leave, Dan then casts a plea look at Jamie, who is about to leave to find the Taussy family.
It's all too perverse in front of him, and Jamie is the only one who can give him the answer.
Jamie deliberately shrugged his shoulders at Dan and humorously laughed at himself:
"It's embarrassing, I thought this beautiful woman came to me for an autograph."
As soon as the words fell, I saw Jane take out a copy of "Weakness" from her satchel and hand it over with the pen.
"So can you ask this handsome man to sign for me?"
Without saying a word, Jamie took the pen and asked Jen why he hadn't received an invitation to visit Jones's house.
Seeing this, Jane had no choice but to send an invitation to Jamie as well.
