“Mom! Mom! Mom where are you?” Julian yelled as he enter their house.
“What are you so excited about? What’s going on?” Julian’s mother said.
“Looks like were going to stay here for a while mom.” “And why?” Julian’s mother asked.
“I did it mom, I got to a team, I’m a pro now mom.” Julian said excitedly.
“What? Oh my we got to celebrate” “Just relax mom, I’m just here to tell you the great news I’m not here to stay I’ll just get my things.” Julian said.
“Ok but what about your injury? Did they know about your injury?”
“They didn’t know, They don’t need to know it.” Julian said.

“Great game guys as always. Another dominating win and one more we will be crown as the nations champ.” “Yeah!!!!!” All of the players screamed.
“Julian may I have a talked with you” the coach said. “Sure coach what is it?” Julian asked.
“It’s about the game, what’s up with the trash talked that made the opponents punch you.”
“It’s nothing coach I’ll just let them know who’s the best around here.” Julian said
“Ok but stop getting into those fights you might get injured you know more than we that we need you.”
“Ok coach and coach I’ll stay for a while and shoot some hoops.”
Clinggg another ball missed the basket. “Damn, got to worked on my jump shots.” Julian said to himself.
As Julian was about to pack his things and get ready to go home he heard somebody shouting his name.
“Hey Julian” a masked man shouted with four other masked man.
“What do you want?” Julian asked
“What do we want? We just want to make sure we win the championship.” The masked man said.
“As if that’s gonna happen, with me around your team will not win.” Julian said arrogantly.
“That’s why we are here to take you down.” “Get him boys.” The masked man said.
With that order Julian got captured and brutally assaulted.
“Do you think if you hurt me I won’t play the game? That’s were your fucking wrong bastards even if I’m hurt Id still can play as long as I can stand up I’ll play with all my strength.” Julian said.
“What a fighting spirit, Hey where’s the iron pipe give it to me. I’ll make sure this kid can’t play or even stand up” the masked man got the iron pipe and was going to hit Julian’s knee.
“Julian, Julian, Hey Julian are alright?”
“I’m alright” Julian just heard her mother’s voice. Julian remembered the time when he got assaulted and got a knee injury that kept him unable to play for 6 years.
“I’m alright mom I just remembered something, I’ll go to my room and pack my things.” Julian said.

After the game against the Magic
“Damn another blow out loss, I can’t stand this anymore” Jefferson said while throwing his jersey on the ground.
“If you just always give me the ball maybe the team will be better.” Wilkins said pointing at Flynn.
“And what you scored 20 plus points in 40 attempts.” Flynn said.
“Shut up rookie I’m the leading scorer of this team your role is to pass me the ball and watch.” Wilkins said.
“You’re the leading scorer because you’re a ballhog you are wasting all my passes in some ridiculous shots.” Flynn said.
“Both of you shut up, rookie you don’t have the rights to talk unless you less down your turnovers you practically giving the ball to the opponents with your show time passes.” Love said angrily
“Stop it all of you.” An assistant said “Al the coach wants to talk to you in the office.”

At the office
“Sit down Al.” Rambis said.
“What up coach? Oh Mr. Kamla you’re here.” Jefferson said.
“We want to talk to you about the team’s issues, what do you think of the team so far.” Rambis said.
“Well the team lacks defense, rebounding and chemistry.” Jefferson said.
“That what we think too.” Rambis said.
“So we decided to shake things up, we recently agreed to a trade.” Kamla said.
“Ok, so where do I leave?” Jefferson said.
“It’s not you who are leaving your our franchise player.” Kamla said.
“That’s a relief then who will it be” Jefferson said.
“It’s Gomes and Wilkins, I’ve trade them for Prince and Dalembert.” Kamla said.
“What! Why those two? They are my only friends here and besides they are the only ones who can play good basketball here.” Jefferson said angrily.
“It’s for the good of the team; I believe that Prince and Dalembert will bring us the defense that we lack. Hopefully this will also bring as the W’s.” Rambis explained.
“Ok I understand but if this didn’t work out I want to leave as well those two are the only reason that I stay for this team.” Jefferson said. Jefferson angrily leaves and slams the door.
“I think he take it well, right coach?” Kamla said with a smile.
“You think? Our best player want to leave, this plan of yours better work.” Rambis said.
“Of course this will work. Well I got to go coach and talked to the GM’s. Oh, coach maybe you want to buy a new door, this door will go down soon with all of your players slamming it.” Kamla said as he waved goodbye.
