"I can't believe it! I can't believe it! ”

Wallace was like a trapped beast, holding his head, pacing back and forth in disbelief, repeating the same sentence over and over again, expressing his anger and distress in such a way that the hurt expression was accusing Aldon of ruthlessness, but at this time Aldon could not empathize.

"What the hell do you mean? If you hadn't left me behind, I wouldn't be here! Forgotten? You begged me to stay! And now you're accusing me in turn? Is that what you think? Is that what you're really thinking? Am I a parasite for pleasure? Aldon - hell - Smith! ”

"Do you remember? I carried so many black pots for you before, even entered the juvenile detention center, and even left a criminal record, which ensures that you can keep a clean resume, all for you to have a bright future, otherwise, you think you can become a first-round pick? Do you think you'll be able to enjoy it all right now? Do you think you'll be able to go to college and become a professional footballer? Don't think that if you're successful now, you can erase all your past! ”

Wallace's facial expression became more and more hideous, as if his entire soul had been distorted, and those ugly and vicious words seeped out from the depths of his soul little by little, completely tearing apart the relationship between the two people, and the interests and injuries of those red fruits began to stab Aldon without reservation.

But Aldon remained indifferent, and it was only now that he finally realized that he had truly understood his life, and the things hidden behind the fog finally became clear, good and bad, positive and negative, and things gradually became clear.

Looking at Wallace in front of him, Aldon was like looking at his former self, so familiar and yet so unfamiliar.

"Don't say as if you're all for me! You're not, I know, and you yourself know that you're not! "Aldon finally saw through Wallace, they were all selfish guys, all their calculations and schemes were just for themselves.

It is true that they are still best friends, they still dedicate their youth to each other, without Wallace there would be no current Aldon, and similarly, without Aldon there would be no current Wallace, from this point of view, they are really suitable to be friends, but now Aldon is starting to grow, so the two of them are walking in different rhythms, and things are different.

He will not abandon Wallace, because their bonds are too deep, and those past and those friendships cannot be easily severed in a few words; But that doesn't mean he will let Wallace influence his life. Now, he finally understood the meaning of Lu Ke's original words.

Wallace was stung by Aldon's words again and jumped to his feet on the spot, "What did you say?" Hell God, if you have a kind, tell me again! ”

But in the face of Wallace's nonsense, Aldon had enough, and he waved his hand to stop him, "I've had enough of these pointless arguments. I don't want to drive you away, I don't have such a plan, you are right, without you, there would be no current me. You enjoy your fair share and I won't interfere, but you stop dictating my career! ”

"When I'm training like a dog on the training ground, when I'm reciting a playbook like a nerd, when I'm standing on the pitch and getting dizzy like a bullfight, you're not there, you don't know what's going on with me, you don't know what rugby is all about! So, keep your mouth shut, or we're not even going to be friends! ”

Having spoken out, finally speaking out, Aldon finally mustered up the courage to make a decision. He thought it would be very difficult—it wasn't easy, but in fact, it was easier than he had imagined, and when he said it, Aldon felt as if he had unshackled himself, and his whole body relaxed.

"Aldon Smith? You're serious! But apparently, Wallace wasn't ready to compromise, and his whole face just stepped down, "What do you think of me?" Beggar? Or is it a parasite? Is this how money is used to send me? You'd better make it clear to me that I'm your friend, and I'm the only one in the entire alliance who thinks about you wholeheartedly! ”

"Then you should shut up!" Aldon's voice was raised, and he yelled at Wallace, "Yes, you heard me, you should shut up!" ”

Such an Aldon was something Wallace had never seen before, and the monstrous anger fully erupted without reservation.

"You never know that there is no individual truth without a team! Do you think I can beat those teams on my own? Can I prove that I'm invincible? Will I be able to get the highest salary in the league? No, without a team, I'm nothing! It's true that this is a professional league, and at the end of the day, we all need to plan for ourselves, but if we don't even have a team, there will be no calculation! ”

"You'll never understand, how much Patrick and Bambi have done for me, you know they sacrificed their time to help me learn the tactical manual? Do you know how much effort they put into helping me get back into the ranks? Do you know how much they paid to win when they stood on the pitch? No, you don't know, you just sit at home and babble about what a great genius I am, but now this genius is about to fall! ”

"You'll never know how much sweat and effort I put into saying goodbye to alcohol and getting back on the field! Alcohol doesn't make me relax, it makes me escape! Escape training! Escape the stress! Evade responsibility! I thought I was a genius and I could easily win without trying anything! But not so! The Pro League is full of talent, and the slightest slack on my part could be the beginning of elimination at any moment! ”

"You'll never know that the whole league is treating me like a joke right now. I'm a genius, but there are so many geniuses in the league! No one but San Francisco would want a genius who has been plagued with off-field problems since the third grade, have you seen Randy Moss? That was the greatest genius in the league's 100-year history, did you see what he came after? Did you see the end of him? I can't even touch his heels! ”

"Without Patrick, I was able to start, so what? You don't know how important Patrick is to our defensive team, you don't know what Patrick has done for the team with one leg in tow, you don't know that Patrick's injury may never return to the game, and what happened to Patrick could happen to me, if I still insist on going my own way, if I still feel that I am the most important, when I am injured, what do you think I will receive? ”

"Just the treatment on the TV? It's still a deserted treatment that no one cares about! Remember? When I came out of the nursing home, you were the only one at the entrance of the hospital, hell God, you were the only one! So, tell me now, is it the team or the individual that is important? ”

"No team! What am I? What am I? How exactly am I supposed to prove myself? Yes, everyone needs to think about their own interests, but before that, I need to think about the team first! Super Bowl, got it? Victory, understand? I need their support to win! Do you think I alone can win? Yes? May I? I can't, or can you tell me how I can do it? ”

Wallace tried to say something, but he was completely unable to parry Aldon's storm, muttered a few syllables but couldn't organize it after all, and finally could only look at Aldon dumbfounded, so strange and so terrifying, his brain was completely shut down, and he couldn't make a sound at all.

Aldon looked at Wallace like this, but he didn't expect him to understand at all, because even he himself was only able to understand after being taught again and again—the lesson of blood.

Say goodbye to alcohol and get back on the field.

This road is really too difficult, testing his mental will all the time, and with the slightest negligence, he wants to return to the embrace of alcohol and anesthetize his nerves - even at this moment, seeing Willis's condition, his mind can't help but want to drink and escape his responsibilities, but he can't and doesn't dare, because he knows that a slack can become a farewell, and he may never return to the field.

He didn't want to be a fallen genius.

The most important thing is that he still loves rugby, he still loves winning. God, how much he missed being with his teammates, not alone, but fighting side by side, he needed to get back on the field, and only by standing there could he find his worth, not in the alcohol, not in the mansion, not by Wallace's side.

Wallace was not helping him, perhaps, Wallace was the most important part of his life, and there was never a way to give it up easily; But Wallace was not part of his career, and Wallace was holding it back, eating away at his talent and abilities like a chronic poison.

He needs to be independent.

Looking at Wallace in front of him, Aldon's brain was more awake than ever, his emotions calmed down again, and he said calmly but firmly, "AJ, I'm going to train." That's what I decided. "It's not an inquiry, it's an informed decision.

With that, Alton bypassed Wallace and strode in the direction of the courtyard outside.

Wallace's brain couldn't turn around, he couldn't even think carefully, his chaotic thoughts filled his whole head like a mess, and finally, he didn't know what to do, so he used his killer weapon again, "If you leave now, then I'll turn around and leave!" ”

Should you choose the team, or should you choose Wallace?
