Chapter 413: Blackface Carlisle

With the timely intervention of the stadium security, West, Terry and Yiyang were pulled apart. Chief Safety Officer of the U.S. Route Center Arena George Brown. Plath searched Delonti thoroughly. West's cabinet, no other guns were found, but some white powder that shouldn't have been found in the team's locker room.

Later, Plath picked up the pistol on the ground and disassembled it. When the gun was disassembled, Plath looked at Delonti in amazement. West glanced at him, then waved his hand, motioning for the other security personnel to take the three of them away first.

Yiyang was taken to the away team's locker room, which had not yet opened, and was accompanied by two security personnel. Originally, this was a conflict between Terry and West, but when Yiyang saw West take out a gun and point it at his friend, Yiyang's emotions suddenly became uncontrollable.

In Wood, he has seen countless people die on the streets. Yiyang used to have a high school teammate who died in a fight because he joined a street gang. This taciturn guy just doesn't want to see the tragedy happen again. Moreover, it also happens in the "high-level" place of the NBA team's locker room.

Because of this, Yiyang rushed up and punched West. However, after calming down, Yiyang suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Just if Delonti. West really shoots, and he will definitely die! Although Yiyang rushed to Delonti. In front of West, West really didn't react. But he still has the time to pull the trigger.

Yiyang calmed down alone for a few minutes before the strong Plath suddenly pushed the door in. 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's no bullet in the gun, otherwise you'd probably be a corpse."

"Huh?" Yiyang looked up in surprise, there were no bullets in the gun, which meant ......

"He just wanted to scare and scare Jett, and although that guy was grumpy, he still had a bottom line. Hey, if that happens again, you don't want to do it again like you do today. Plath patted Yiyang on the shoulder, and his courage Plath appreciated very much. But in the face of life-threatening danger, courage is simply worthless.

"Even without bullets, he's too much. Everyone is teammates, and pointing a gun at someone at every turn is simply the greatest disrespect. Yiyang recalled the muzzle of the black hole just aimed at him, and the picture of his father's tragic death on the street flashed back from Yiyang's mind.

"I know, I know...... Hey, Delonti isn't the first to do this, either. Remember Arenas of the Wizards in the past? Even a superstar of his calibre has made the same mistakes. So, stop thinking about it. Cuban and I'll deal with him, and as long as you guys don't get hurt, everything will be fine. ”

Plath finished speaking, looking at the ceiling of the locker room and sighed. In this peaceful place, Plath always thought that there would only be a war that would be resolved with basketball. I didn't expect that now I actually started to shoot.

"Let's go home if there's nothing to do, there's a game tomorrow."

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

"Delonti, I'll talk to the Kuban about what to do with him. But if nothing else...... Tomorrow you won't be able to see him in the dressing room. Plath closed the locker room door as if he had shut down West's Mavericks career as well.

Later today, Cuban held a conference call with Terry and Yiyang. The trio discussed very simple things, whether they wanted to discuss Delonti. West's threat at gunpoint was investigated.

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

"Just let him go, I don't want to pursue the rest. Anyway, we didn't get hurt, so let's let him go! "Terry has always been a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted guy, and he knows it, Delonte. West's NBA career is at the end of the day. For a mentally unstable player, once the gun is spread, no team will dare to use him.

There has been enough negative press about West, but this one is worse than all the others combined.

Now that his NBA career is over, Terry doesn't want to let the other side face further jail time.

Now that Terry has relented, what other opinion can Yiyang have? He also chose not to delve into West's gun operation, and was willing to take the initiative to take on the role of Delonti. West's medical expenses. After all, Yiyeyang knew that his punch was not light.

"You ...... Are you sure you want to do this? Kuban obviously didn't expect that Yiyang and Terry would be so "merciful".

"So what? I don't care what he does when he goes out to cause trouble, as long as he doesn't mess around in the locker room, it's easy to say anything. Terry waved his hand, he still understood the principle of being forgiving and forgiving.

"Well, don't let the news of this matter leak out. I've officially laid off Delonti. West, tomorrow morning, you're training normally. Because tonight, he's going to move out of the locker room. ”

After Kuban finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and the meeting ended. At first, he thought that West would not cause any trouble, so he chose to sign him. As everyone knows, this "won't cause trouble" guy has caused the biggest trouble to the Mavericks' locker room.

※※※

The next day, the Mavericks players didn't see Delonte again. West, the locker he was using, was also swept away. And the news that West was suddenly cut by the Mavericks did not cause any uproar. Delonti. West wasn't a big part of the Mavericks lineup, so it's 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, so that he did not face the pursuit and interrogation of the police officers. So in front of the media, West didn't say anything that shouldn't have been said.

The grievances of the two groups of people are written off, and West is about to start a new life of his own. Yiyang and Terry, on the other hand, have to continue to fight hard in the regular season.

Tonight's opponents, the Bobcats, are not a strong opponent, and Charlotte has only picked up a measly four wins so far this season. That's right, 4 games!

Charlotte Bobcats can't be counted as an opponent for the Mavericks by any means, they are weak, and they are still on the road. Before the game, the Dallas Evening Post even predicted that the Mavericks would easily win this game even if they didn't have a head coach on the sidelines to direct the game, and fans were full of anticipation for victory.

But what is the result?

In the fifth minute of the opening game, Yiyang finally scored his first point of the game with a pull-up jump shot. The U.S. Route Center Arena was jubilant, at least Yiyang finally opened. But then, Nowitzki and Terry started to get out of line again.

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

The Mavericks had a whopping 18 turnovers in the game, and most of them were unforced turnovers. The players looked absent-minded, as if they were preoccupied. Even Yiyang, who has always performed steadily, only scored 17 points and 8 assists today. Nowitzki scored a team-high 19 points but shot just 36.7 percent from the field. Terry? 1-of-9 shooting, and that's his palmares.

In today's game, only Carter and Yi Jianlian played relatively normally, but these two guys are never the kind of characters who can decide the outcome of the game.

"The incredible defeat and the Mavericks' sleepwalking performance allowed the Charlotte Bobcats to be lucky to claim their fifth win of the season! It didn't make sense at all, and the Mavericks were always distracted and made mistakes as if they were on the training ground. ”

"With a four-game losing streak, it's the longest losing streak the Dallas Mavericks have experienced this season. Since the All-Star break, the Mavericks haven't won. ”

"I doubt there's something wrong with the Mavericks, otherwise a team wouldn't have fallen."

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

After the game, Carlisle and the smiling Bobcats coach Paul Murphy Anderson. After Silas shook his hand, he turned around and slammed the board to the ground.

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

Seeing that the head was a little unhappy, the players were not in the mood to be interviewed by reporters. In fact, how can the players themselves be happy? There's been so much lately, it's Kidd getting hurt again, West getting a gun again, and back-to-back backs in a row...... This trivial matter made it impossible for them to concentrate on the game.

The thought of having another back-to-back game to play tomorrow makes many people feel like their heads are big. What a goddamn pro basketball, it's fucking grinding!

After returning to the locker room, Carlisle did not reprimand anyone, but sat silently, staring at the original Delonti. West's locker was in a daze.

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

Seeing Carlisle like this, the players did not dare to act rashly. They sat in it with Carlisle, motionless, as if they were a stone statue.

"Delonti may not be a professional player in his life." It was a long time before Carlisle finally spoke.

"It's his own fault, he didn't cherish the opportunity to mess around in the basketball world. But I ask you, do you still want to be a professional footballer? Carlisle finished and looked around.

No one answered, and the locker room was silent.

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

"We ..... Of course we want to be professionals. Nowitzki volunteered to answer in order to ease the atmosphere.

"Professional players, heh, to put it lightly, so tell me about the essence of professional basketball?"

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

"It's a victory, guys. The essence of professional basketball is a fucking victory! It's not relationships, it's not mental health, it's not some damn all-star weekend. It's a victory! Victory! But look at now, we're on a four-game losing streak! And those who lost to were all unpopular opponents! You keep telling me that you want to be a professional footballer, but you can't win a single game for the team! , are you just talking!? Forget the damn things, you're all men, do you want me to comfort you one by one like a kindergarten teacher? Is it possible that something has happened so that you can give up your victory? ”

Carlisle's outburst made the players bow their heads one by one, even Nowitzki was no exception. This academy coach rarely gets angry, and when he is angry, it means that he is really angry.

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

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

Carlisle dropped such a sentence and walked out of the locker room first. Carlisle didn't actually want to get angry, but he couldn't do anything about it.

The players couldn't wake up for a while, and the Mavericks couldn't get out 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". Maybe he'll be hated by the players, maybe not. Regardless, Carlisle only hoped that the sleepwalking guys would wake up from their dreams.

Will the players be able to listen? Carlisle didn't know. Let's hope tomorrow in Salt Lake City, today's tragedy won't be repeated......
