Chapter Ninety-Five: The Gun Door Incident
Chapter Ninety-Five: The Gun Door Incident
After Christmas, the Timberwolves will play at home against the Washington Wizards.
Today's Washington Wizards are in a moment of internal and external troubles, originally this year's Wizards are very hopeful of competing for a championship, this season the Wizards have shown excellent form, although they suffered a wave of consecutive defeats before the Christmas game, but their strong strength can not be ignored, and has received widespread attention from the media and the league.
The core of the team, Arenas, has been in excellent form since returning from injury, providing consistent and efficient offensive firepower for the team every game.
Averaged 22 per game. 7 points 4. 2 rebounds 5. The stat of 6 assists is an excellent stat by any reason, and fans in Washington are beginning to believe that the Wizards they support are starting to pick up, and team leader Arenas is leading the Wizards on the right path.
In the lineup, Brandon Haywood is in the center position, McGee is holding up the sky, Jamison is in the front, Bradge is guarding the basket, Caron Butler is in the small forward position on the wing, and Randy Foyer and Daniels are in the backcourt.
A superstar leads the team, two All-Stars serve as pillars, and a group of potential bench bandits, this lineup is still very impactful, and even on ESPN's team power rating list, the Washington Wizards' book strength is still very good, if the chemistry is better, they can go further in the playoffs, even if they face the obstacles of strong teams such as the Celtics and Cavaliers this season, and cannot break out of the Eastern Conference encirclement, it is still very possible to enter the division finals and semifinals.
No team wins the championship overnight, and it is never easy to win the East and West and become the only king of the league!
How many famous superstars, how many legendary stars, have left their hometowns for a championship ring, away from the team they have held for more than ten years, to fight for a championship ring, just for that glory!
Big Shark O'Neal dominated the league at the beginning of the 21st century, and even gave Stone Duncan the idea of fleeing the West, but when the Big Shark traveled east to Miami, the young Heat needed to lie dormant for a year or two before they could taste the joy of a championship.
In everyone's opinion, the future of Washington's Wizards is not bad, and the team's leader, Arenas, is outstanding, and as long as he maintains good athletic form, it is not impossible to lead the Wizards to the next level during his prime.
Maybe it's not impossible to win the championship!
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long!
Perhaps it was Lee Se-ho's All-Star ballot incident that made the quiet and deserted Washington look a little lonely, and a shocking news was exposed in the city's home team Wizards locker room.
When the Washington Post reporter got the material of the news, he could clearly feel his trembling hands, and the shock of the news was too great to tear the existing Wizards to pieces.
It seems that the dreams of Washington fans are about to be shattered!
When the Washington Post published the news, the news spread like a virus from Washington, the capital of the United States, and it was out of control.
Now, everyone knows about the shocking incident in the locker room of the Washington Wizards — Arenas and teammate at gunpoint.
As soon as this news was exposed, the management of the Wizards panicked, and the team's phone was flooded, with accusations from fans, inquiries from league investigators, and criminal inquiries from the police.
What's more important is that this one thing can't be hidden, paper can't contain the fire, and the evolution of the situation is getting more and more serious.
It all started in the first half of Christmas this year, when the Washington Post first reported on the news that Arenas and teammate Critanton clashed in practice.
The two had an argument on their way back from an away game half a month ago, and on the team's plane, the two had an argument over a poker game, which seemed to be due to gambling problems.
Although the problem was suppressed at that time due to the presence of teammates and team staff, the problem was not solved, but gradually worsened in the process of deep burial, deriving more contradictions and irresolvable conflicts.
Finally, on Christmas Eve, the two clashed during training and finally quarreled loudly in the locker room, and the angry Arenas got angry, took out a pistol and placed it on the table, trying to intimidate his teammates, but Critanton was not intimidated, but not to be outdone, he also pulled out his weapon.
The two held guns against each other like in the 80s in the Hong Kong and Taiwan gangster film "The True Color of Heroes", and the conflict was out of control.
The New York Times broke out an even more shocking inside story, and the conflict between the two came from the gambling debt problem half a month ago, which is an eye-opener.
A series of words such as "locker room with guns", "two guns opposite", "Arenas" and so on have become hot search words in recent times, and the entire North American fan circle has exploded.
The Washington Wizards suddenly became the center of the league, and all eyes were on this team.
Maybe Arenas just wanted to show off his leadership authority in front of his teammates, or maybe his teammate Critanton was just accidentally swallowed up by anger, but the moment the news was exposed by the all-pervasive media, the matter was over.
When Arenas, who was resting at home, heard the news, his mind went blank and he couldn't even reflect on the consequences of this terrible incident.
His career seems to have ended with this gun incident, and he is still at the peak of his career, but this moment is that he has always been a little nervous, and he can imagine the gloomy and lonely days in the future.
Arenas' college coach, teammates Butler, Jamison, etc., called one after another, some reprimanded, some regretted, some disappointed, all emotions let the helpless Arenas taste it all over.
Eventually, when the team management found him at Arenas' house, the latter was disheveled and haggard, and even a fool knew he wasn't going to get better.
This made Li Shihao, who was far away in Minnesota, speechless, and originally wanted to try his edge from the Washington Wizards and hone the tactical power of the team's recent joint practice, but he didn't expect the latter to break out such a big scandal.
On Dec. 27, the Timberwolves easily took the Washington Wizards away from the home target center, and when the dejected Wizards fled from Minnesota, the bright red 109:92 in the target center was still dazzling.
Lee Se Ho didn't play much throughout the game, he only played three quarters before going off, and instead let Milicic and Ryan Gomez fight on the court with a bunch of substitutes.
The Wizards have completely lost their fighting spirit, and in the face of the young Timberwolves with high morale, they are no opponent at all, and they are easily defeated and reap a heavy defeat.
Fans who watched the game in China laughed with joy, laughing that the Timberwolves picked up a big bargain and successfully took advantage of the Wizards' big benefits to usher in their six-game winning streak.
However, it didn't end there, and more dramatic events happened.
The big-mouthed Arenas was interviewed by the media after the news was exposed, perhaps because he understood the gloom of his future, and he publicly admitted to holding a gun in the locker room, but he defended that he was unwilling to put a gun in his daughter's newborn home, all for safety reasons.
A guilty person gives himself away by conspicuously protesting his innocence!
At this time, the eyes of the whole world are on the Alliance, and everyone wants to know how the Alliance will handle this matter.
