Chapter 6
“You two cut it out!” Tayshaun Prince said.
“Tell it to the rookie Tayshaun he is the one who started it.” Kevin Love said
“What? Now you’re blaming me, if I didn’t stop you earlier you would have been ejected in the game.” Martin said.
Kevin Love suddenly stopped and relaxed for a moment.
“Fuck this!” Kevin said as he went out of the locker room.
“Hey Julian just understand Kevin right now, he’s just frustrated about the game.” Jefferson said.
Julian didn’t answer he just looked at Al then he noticed his cellphone have a message.
“Another game, another loss good job little brother. Just keep the bad games coming and losses will pile up and the money will be in my hands in no time.”
Julian didn’t bother to look who send him the message the moment he read it, he already know who send him the message.
“Damn I just can’t stand this anymore, Raymond is really driving me crazy.” Julian said to himself.
“Hey Julian, can I have a talk with you.” Flynn said.
“Ok man, what is it about?” Julian said.
“I’m just wondering what’s wrong with you, do you have some problem or something? You know you can talk to me.” Flynn said.
“Nothing man, I’m just struggling lately don’t worry if there is something I need I will tell you.” Julian said.
“Oh here are my two top rookies.” Kamla said. “I’m just here to tell that both of you will go to Dallas for the Rookie challenge.”
“Yeah, we will show those sophomores that we can win against them, right Julian?” Flynn said
“Oh yeah that’s right” Julian said in low voice.
“Hey do you have a problem, aren’t you excited?” Kamla said.
“I’m okay sir, don’t mind me.” Julian said.
“Ok, by the way there’s some girl outside looking for you. You already got a fan and she also very hot looking.” Kamla said.
Julian went outside to take a look at this girl. He saw Kevin Love talking to this girl about 5’9 in height got a brunette hair with jade green eyes matched by her red lips and a very model like body.
“Yo Julian” Kevin shouted.
“Oh hi there brother, I’m just here to visit.” the girl said. “Sorry I didn’t call you, Kevin here is telling me how good friends you are.”
“Oh really” Julian said in a sarcastic way as he looked at Kevin.
“Yeah I just told your beautiful sister I mean Ella how good pals we are, we are like brothers in here.” Kevin said.
“Looks like someone here can take care of you, that’s good. Uhmmm Julian can I have a talked with you in private.” Ella said.
“Oh you’re leaving already? Well see you around Ella hope you and I can have some dinner sometime.” Kevin said.
“Ok, goodbye Kevin.” Ella said. “You got a good friend here Julian”.
“Yeah whatever, so what really brings you here?” Julian asked
“Mom called and she just told me that you and Raymond had some arguments.” Ella said. “Is this why you’re struggling lately?” she asked.
“This is between me and Raymond you don’t need to butt in.” Julian said.
“Yeah I know that but Julian you finally reached your dream, don’t let your problems affect you.” Ella said.
“Easy for you to say but I’ll try.” Julian said
“Good, now I’ll be staying for a while until your doing fine.” She said.

Game against Dallas
Julian was on his way to the team’s locker room when he noticed someone familiar.
“What the fuck are you doing in here Raymond?” Julian said angrily.
“I’m just here to support my little brother whom I love so much.” Raymond said.
“Fuck that! What are your real intentions?” Julian said.
“Okay okay just chill man. I’m just here to tell you that my boss wants the Wolves to be completely defeated tonight then I will get my precious money.” Raymond said. “So do your thing little brother and good luck.” Raymond said with a grin at the same time he left.
“Dammit, fuck this! This has got to stop right now, I’ll show Raymond what I can do.” Julian said to himself.
“Martin goes through the screen set by Kevin Love and nails his fifth threepointer of the night.” Marv Albert said.
“Wooooo! This kid can shoot, it’s his twelve point in the fourth quarter.” Kenny Smith said. “Where did this kid lean to shoot as if he was not struggling lately.” He said.
Nowitzki tried to post Prince, Kidd passed him the ball. Nowiztki tried to force it inside but he gets denied by Prince, Love gets the loose ball and throws to an open Martin for an easy lay-up. Minnesota win and snapped their losing streak.
After the game Julian went early to the dug out but he was surprised to see Raymond standing there waiting for him.
“Fuck you Julian, you know you cost me a lot of money and my boss will kill me for sure.” Raymond said.
“Yeah I know that and you know what it feels really good.” Julian said.
“Why you, this time I will completely hurt you that can never play again.” Raymond said.
“This time? You mean you’re the one who cost me this injury…”
But before Julian finish his brother Raymond quickly gets out as he saw someone approaching.
“Hey dude, great game tonight.” Kevin Love said. “So I was just thinking maybe you, I and maybe Ella go out and celebrate.”
“Bad timing Kevin, we will go out for dinner tonight.” Julian said.
“So can I come?” Kevin said.
But Julian seems to be not listening. “What? Yeah sure whatever.” He said and he just left.
---------------------------------
Later that night
“Congrats on the big win bro.” Ella said.
“Yeah it was good. I saw Raymond after the game.” Julian said.
“Really? What did he say?” Ella asked.
“He just told me that he’s the one responsible for my knee injury.” Julian said.
Ella was shocked and don’t know what to say.
“Surprised huh? Well me too…”
“Wow I finally found you two.” Kevin Love “You know I was searching every restaurant in town.”
“Oh Kevin what are you doing in here?” Ella said.
“I was invited by your brother here for dinner.” Kevin said.
“Really? I did?” Julian said. “Well its getting late we really have to go home.”
“But I just got here, okay how about a ride home?” Kevin said.
“No thanks, you must eat first you look like your starving.” Julian said and he grabs his sister for a quick exit.
As the two were waiting for a cab hey noticed a fast car approaching and it seems out of control. Julian noticed the driver and got surprised to see Raymond.
“Damn you Julian! I’m going to kill you go to hell!” Raymond said.
“Look out!” a man said.
Then the car just crashed into the wall. Everybody who saw the accident was all shocked and couldn’t believe what they just witnessed. After ten minutes the ambulance came.
“Sir there are peoples in here, three of them sir.” One of the paramedic said.
“Check for major injuries.” The other paramedic said. “Where is the driver?”
“I can’t find the driver sir as for these three all of them have fainted…. Wait this one is dead.”
