Chapter 4
“No way Coach! I disagree with your decision.” Kevin Love said.
“Shut up Kevin, I said that Martin will guard Paul that’s my decision.” Rambis said.
“Don’t you remember the game against the Heat, that rookie cost us the game.” Kevin said.
Rambis did not listen to Kevin Love and let Martin guard Paul with 6 seconds left. The Wolves are up 105 – 104.
“So your gonna guard me? This is will be easy.” Paul said.
Martin just stayed calm and focused on guarding Chris Paul. Peja inbound the ball and passed it to Wright, Chris quickly move towards the ball Martin reacts quickly and follow Paul but he ran to a hard screen set by David West. Paul caught the ball and shoots for a wide open three pointer. The buzzer sounds with that shot, Hornets win 107 – 105.
Kevin Love was upset and did not shake hands instead he quickly goes to the team’s locker room.
-----
At the locker room
“Another loss because of that stupid rookie, coach you should have listened to me.” Kevin said angrily.
“Calm down Kevin, Martin had done a great job on guarding Paul its just he nailed the shot that’s all.” Prince said.
Coach Rambis then enter the locker room, he look at everyone he noticed that it is too quiet.
“Ok team, we fought a hard game they just got lucky in the end.” Rambis said. “Tell you what, Im gonna cancel our team practice for these three days. Just visit your family this coming Christmas.”

Julian’s house
“Hello anybody home?” Julian said.
“Oh Julian you’re here, I thought you would not visit us.” Julian’s mother said.
“The Coach would like us to have some timeout he cancelled our team’s practice.” Julian said.
“Well lets go inside I’m sure everybody will be glad to see you.” Julians’ mother said.
All of Julian’s family member were there,its their tradition to have a family dinner the night before Christmas.
“Tough loss against the Hornets huh.” Julian’s uncle said.
“Yeah, they just got lucky that’s all.” Julian said.
“So how’s the NBA, how’s your team?” Julian’s uncle asked.
“Its pretty tough, adjusting to the schedules were pretty hard but I get used to it.” Julian said. “The team is fine, I think nobody expect us to win more than 8 games.”
Suddenly somebody knocks on the front door.
“I’ll get it” Julian said. Julian opened the door and was shocked to see who it was.
“What the fuck are you doing in here?” Julian said.
“What? No hug for your twin brother”
“Julian who is it?” Julian’s mother asked.
“It’s only Raymond” Julian said.
“What a surprise, come in Raymond everyone is in here.”
“Nah I’m just here to see Mr. Martin from the Minnesota Timberwolves.” Raymond said.
“So what are you doing in here? Did you escape again from prison?” Julian said.
Raymond laughs. “Julian you always make me laugh, I did not escape I got my pardon and I’m a change man now, I just miss my little brother that’s why I’m here.” Raymond said.
“Miss me? I’m the one who sent you to jail and now you miss me.” Raymond said.
“Yeah, I’m here to offer you a deal, just give me some money and you will never see my face again.” Raymond said.
“You change alright instead of robbing some bank you just beg for your little brother to give you some cash.” Julian said.
“I told you I’m a change man, now give me some cash.” Raymond said.
Then they saw a police car passing by. Raymond quickly enter the house and closed the door.
“They give you a pardon huh.” Julian said.
“So I escaped, just give me some money and I’ll leave this country. I’m going back to the Philippines were all criminals are welcome.” Raymond said.
“Why would I give a criminal some cash? Tell you what bro, I will give you a head start in about ten seconds I’m going call the cops and tell them that you are here.” Julian said.
“Why you son of a bitch, I promised you I will make your life a living hell.” Raymond said as he quickly gets out of the house.
“Why did you do that on your brother? You could just give him some money and he can have a fresh start.” Julian’s mother said.
“A criminal is always a criminal.” Julian said.
