One Guard

Under the timely intervention of the stadium security, West, Terry and Yiyang were pulled away respectively. George Plath, chief security officer at the American Airlines Center, thoroughly searched Delonte West's locker and found no other guns, but some white powder that shouldn't be in the team's locker room.

Plath then picked up the pistol on the ground and disassembled it. After the gun was disassembled, Plath looked at Delonte West in surprise, then waved his hand, signaling to other security personnel to take the three of them away first.

Yiyang was taken to the visiting team's locker room which was not open yet, accompanied by two security personnel. Originally, this was a conflict between Terry and West, but when Yiyang saw West pointing a gun at his friend, Yiyang's emotions were out of control.

In the Wood District, he has seen countless people die tragically on the streets. Yiyang used to have high school teammates who died in a fight because they joined a street gang. This taciturn guy just doesn't want to see the tragedy happen again. Moreover, it still happened in an "advanced" place like the locker room of an NBA team.

Because of this, Yiyang rushed up and punched West. But after calming down, Yiyang's back suddenly felt chills. If Delonte West really shot just now, he would definitely die! Although Yiyang rushed in front of Delonte West, West did not react. But he still has time to pull the trigger.

After Yiyang calmed down by himself for a few minutes, the strong Plath suddenly pushed the door open and entered. He first looked at Yiyang's mood, and after finding that Yiyang had completely calmed down, he carried a small bench and sat in front of Yiyang.

"There is no bullet in the gun, otherwise, you may already be a corpse."

"Huh?" Yiyang looked up in surprise, there was no bullet in the gun, which means...

"He just wanted to scare Jeter. Although that guy has a bad temper, he still has a bottom line. Hey, if this happens again, don't do it like today again." Plath patted Yang's shoulders, his courage Plath admired very much. But courage is worthless when life is in danger.

"Even without bullets, he's gone too far. We're all teammates, and it's the greatest disrespect to point a gun at someone else." Yiyang recalled the black hole that was pointed at him just now, and the day when his father died tragically on the street. The picture will flash back from Yiyang's mind.

"I know, I know... Hey, DeLonte is not the first person to do this. Remember Arenas on the Wizards before? Even a superstar like him made the same mistake. So, stop thinking about it. Cuban and I will deal with him, and as long as you don’t get hurt, everything will be fine.”

After Plath finished speaking, he looked at the ceiling of the locker room and let out a long sigh. In this peaceful place, Plath always thought that only wars could be solved with basketball. Unexpectedly, now they are all moving their guns.

"Go home if you have nothing to do, there is still a game tomorrow."

"Where's Delonte?" Plath just turned around to leave, but Yiyang spoke again.

"Delonte, Cuban and I will discuss what to do with him. But if nothing else...you won't see him in the locker room tomorrow." Plath closed the locker room door, as if Also shut down West's Mavericks career.

Later today, Cuban held a conference call with Terry and Yiyang. The matter discussed by the three of them was very simple, whether they should pursue Delonte West's threat with a gun.

Although Terry was very fierce when he fought with Delonte during the day today, his answer to Cuban was no.

"Just let him go, and I don't want to pursue the rest. In short, we are not injured, so let him go!" Terry has always been a guy with a sharp mouth and a heart, and he knows that Delonte West's NBA career is over. For a mentally unstable player,

Once the news of the gun is spread, no team will dare to use him again.

There are enough bad news about West, but this one is more serious than all the others combined.

Now that his NBA career is over, Terry doesn't want the other party to face prison for the first time.

Now that Terry has let go, what can Yiyang say? He also chose not to get into the matter of West holding a gun, and was willing to take the initiative to bear Delonte West's medical expenses. After all, Yi Yeyang knew that his punch was not light.

"Are you...are you sure you want to deal with this?" Cuban obviously did not expect that the brothers Yiyang and Terry would be so "kind".

"What else can I do? I don't care what he does when he goes out, as long as he doesn't run amok in the locker room, he can say anything." Terry waved his hand, and he still understood the principle of forgiving and forgiving.

"Okay then, don't let this matter leak out. I have officially laid off Delonte West. You can train normally tomorrow morning. Because tonight, he will move out of the locker room."

After Cuban finished speaking, he hung up the phone and the meeting ended. At the beginning, he thought that West would not cause any trouble, so he chose to sign him. As everyone knows, this "will not cause trouble" guy has brought the biggest trouble to the Mavericks locker room.

※※※

The next day, the Mavericks players did not see Delonte West again, and the locker he originally used was also cleaned out. The news that West was suddenly cut by the Mavericks did not cause any uproar. Delonte. West is not an important role in the Mavericks, so it is normal to be cut during the season.

What about West himself? He knew very well that it was Terry and Yiyang who went around him for a while, so that he didn't face the pursuit and interrogation of the police officers. So in front of the media, West didn't say anything he shouldn't have said.

The grievances between the two groups of people are wiped out, and West wants to start his new life. As for Yiyang and Terry, they still have to continue to fight hard in the regular season.

Tonight's opponent, the Bobcats, is not considered a strong enemy. So far this season, Charlotte has only won 4 poor victories. That's right, 4 games!

The Charlotte Bobcats can't be regarded as the Mavericks' opponents anyway, they are very weak, and they are still away. Before the game, the "Dallas Evening Post" even predicted that the Mavericks could easily win the game without the head coach directing the game, and the fans were full of expectations for the victory.

But what was the result?

In the fifth minute of the game, Yiyang finally scored his first point of the game with an emergency stop jumper. The American Airlines Center Arena was full of joy, at least Yiyang finally opened its doors. But then, Nowitzki and Terry began to miss again.

The Mavericks dominated the game, with 10 more rebounds than the opponent, 8 more shots than the opponent, and 8 to 1 in steals. But no matter how badly the Bobcats were booed by the Mavericks fans on the court, and no matter how the fans humiliated them as "turtles who dare not show their heads", they still stubbornly became the winners in the end and won their fifth victory of the season!

The Mavericks turned over as many as 18 times, most of them unforced. The players looked distracted, as if preoccupied. Even Yiyang, who has always performed steadily, only recorded 17 points and 8 assists today. Nowitzki scored a team-high 19 points, but shot only 36.7%. Terry? 1 of 9 shots, this is the report card he handed over.

In today's game, only Carter and Yi Jianlian performed relatively normally, but these two guys are still not the kind of characters who can decide the outcome of the game.

"Unbelievable failure, the Mavericks' sleepwalking performance, and the Charlotte Bobcats were lucky to win the fifth game of the season! This game makes no sense at all. The Mavericks are like they are on the training field. Always Absent-minded, frequent mistakes."

"Four-game losing streak, the longest losing streak the Dallas Mavericks have experienced this season. The Mavericks haven't won since the All-Star break."

"I very much doubt that there is something wrong with the Mavericks internally, otherwise it is impossible for a team to say that it will fall."

After the game, the commentators didn't mention the Bobcats as the victors, but focused their attention on the Mavericks, the loser.

After the game, Carlisle shook hands with the grinning Bobcats coach Paul Silas, then turned around and slammed the tactical board to the ground.

This scene was frantically filmed by the reporters, and it seemed that they found evidence that there was something wrong with the Mavericks locker room!

Seeing the boss was a little unhappy, and the players were not in the mood to be interviewed by reporters. In fact, how can the players themselves be happy? There have been so many bad things recently, Kidd was injured again, West was holding a gun, back to back in a row... All these trifles made it impossible for them to concentrate on In the game.

Thinking of another back-to-back match tomorrow, many people feel dizzy. What the hell is professional basketball, it's so fucking boring!

After returning to the locker room, Carlisle didn't reprimand anyone, but sat silently, staring at the locker that originally belonged to Delonte West in a daze.

When the players had showered and changed their clothes and were about to disband and rush to the airport, Carlisle was still sitting in his seat, looking at the same place.

Seeing Carlisle like this, the players did not dare to act rashly. They just sat there with Carlisle, motionless, like a stone statue.

"Delonte may never be a professional player in his life." Carlisle finally spoke after a long time.

"It's his own fault for not cherishing the opportunity and messing around in the basketball world. But let me ask you, do you still want to be professional players?" Carlisle finished speaking and looked around.

No one answered, and the locker room was silent.

"I'm fucking asking you something!" Carlisle roared, his face flushed red.

"We...of course we want to be professional players." Nowitzki volunteered to answer in order to ease the atmosphere.

"Professional players, heh, to put it lightly, then tell me, what is the essence of professional basketball?"

Players, you look at me, I look at you, and you don't know how to respond.

"It's wins, guys. The nature of pro basketball, it's fucking wins! Not relationships, not mental health, not some goddamn All-Star Weekend. It's wins! Wins! But look at this, we've lost four straight Yes! And the losers were all low-level opponents! You keep telling me that you still want to be a professional player, but you can’t bring the team a single victory! Fuck, are you just talking about it? Just talking!? Forget those damn things, you are all men, do you want me to comfort you one by one like a kindergarten teacher? Could it be that something happened, and you can hand over the victory?"

Carlisle's rage made the players bow their heads one by one, even Nowitzki was no exception. This academic coach seldom gets angry. When he gets angry, it means that he is really angry.

"Huh..." Carlisle took a deep breath, trying to calm down his emotions.

"Let's go, it's time for us to head to Salt Lake City. I don't want to say too much, whether you want to lose or win tomorrow's game, you decide for yourself!"

After leaving these words, Carlisle walked out of the locker room first. In fact, Carlisle didn't want to get angry, but he was helpless.

The players couldn't wake up for a while, and the Mavericks couldn't get rid of the haze of losing streak for a while. In order to help the players cheer up quickly, Carlisle had to play the role of this "black face". He may or may not be hated by the players. But in any case, Carlisle only hoped that the group of sleepwalking guys could wake up from their dreams.

Can the players hear it? Carlisle didn't know. I hope tomorrow in Salt Lake City, today's tragedy will not be repeated...
