NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 21 Destined not to be understood
Bang!
The small sound of the basketball hitting the iron was quickly overwhelmed by the cheers from the North Shore Garden Arena.

But this tiny voice seemed to gradually amplify in Wallace's mind, hitting the hearts of every Bobcats player hard.

Boom~
There was a sharp electric sound in Wallace's head, and the cheers at the North Shore Garden Arena seemed to be gradually shrinking.

I don't know how long it has passed, maybe only 1 second, maybe less than 1 second, but it seems as long as a century.

Everyone could only see Wallace's mouth moving up and down, but it was impossible to tell the difference in the noisy environment.

Suddenly the big screen of the North Shore Garden Arena was given to Wallace.

Wallace, on his knees, buried his head like an ostrich.

But the trembling body seemed to have betrayed him, and tears rolled down from the corners of the tough guy's eyes, obviously trying to restrain himself.

And this scene happened to be photographed by a photographer, and only then did Elvis Presley's tears, which were later spread as classics...

All the players, whether they were on or off the court, ran over immediately, and formed an orderly circle to block all the cameras, giving this tough guy his last dignity! !
No one opened their mouths to say anything, and everyone didn't know what they could comfort.

Just a little bit… just a little bit! !

if not…

And if and only if...

Piccolo trembled and began to persuade Wallace: "Gerald, you have done a good job in this game, don't blame yourself, how could this setback knock you down, now I order you to stand up like a man!!"

"Besides... Coach Liu Rui definitely doesn't want to see you who are so cowardly! You, Gerrard, are not a coward who can be knocked down casually!!"

Hearing Liu Rui's name, Wallace suddenly got up from the ground, completely unable to control his emotions, hugged Bickerstaff and cried loudly, completely disregarding his own image.

In his previous life, Wallace never shed a single tear even when Bynum's elbow blew his lungs apart.

This wild man who has been fighting in the alliance for more than ten years has always shown his sharp claws and never surrendered.

It is because of his unyielding spirit and wild aura that he officially joined the US FBI organization after retiring! !
Become an excellent agent! !

On the court I am Elvis, always ready to hunt prey, off the court I am still a good hunter, this is me, "Gerald Wallace".

But it was such a man, crying at this moment was really heartbreaking, like a child.Expressing my sadness and resentment...

"Gerald."

hum—

Hearing this voice suddenly, Gerald immediately wiped away his tears.

He looked up at the man standing in the player tunnel.

All perspectives including all players are focused.

Liu Rui's eyes were slightly red, and in order to make himself look calm enough, he kept a tense expression.

After all the players looked over, I was so afraid to speak, I didn't dare to move my footsteps, I was afraid that as long as I moved a little, I would be the one who couldn't control the tears.

Liu Rui wanted to open his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked by someone, and he could only struggle silently.

"Coach, I'm sorry, I'm really... sorry, I didn't make that [-]-pointer, I didn't make that damn [-]-pointer..."

"I failed the team's hard work all night, and I failed your trust even more."

"Coach... coach, I failed to give you the victory of this game, we... lost..."

Looking at the crying and red-eyed people in front of them, even Piccolo, an old guy who has been in the league for decades, had tears in his eyes.

"No, you didn't lose."

"Thank you, thank you for giving me such a wonderful game, in fact, when you finally walked together in a circle, you have already won..."

"You are my pride. I am very lucky to meet you in this life. You make me feel proud. Now I have the confidence to really challenge the alliance!!! Because... I have you..."

"Finally, I want to say that I am sorry to everyone. It is I who brought my personal emotions into the game and ruined your whole effort."

"Now, I, Liu Rui, am here to solemnly apologize to you."

Following Liu Rui's bending and bowing.

A bowing coach standing in the player's aisle without taking a step across the football stadium, facing the players with disbelieving faces and tears in their eyes, this scene is permanently frozen in the photo...

.........

"Coach Liu Rui, regarding the fact that at the last moment of the game, I was expelled for two consecutive technical fouls and my team was reversed and lost the game. May I ask what caused you to suddenly lose control of your emotions?!" The small room at the post-match press conference was full of people of all kinds.

"First of all, I'm sorry. They were a group of young people who worked so hard, but because of me, they ruined the efforts of the players throughout the game."

“整场比赛下来，即使我的爱徒华莱士上场33分钟，拿下24分13篮板6助攻2抢断2盖帽的数据填满数据栏。”

"But because my personal emotions ruined the game, this should have been his night, I'm sorry."

"But what I want to say is that I have no regrets, even though we lost the game, the most important thing is that we won ourselves."

"Finally, with the help of the media, I would like to say a word to Mr. Crowley, the referee who enforced the law in this game."

"Thank you for your penalty. It is because of your excellent final penalty that we can see our own shortcomings and make us more united. On behalf of the whole team, I would like to express my most sincere thanks to you."

"Finally... looking forward to the next fight with "you"."

wow~
Big news, big news, this is an exaggeration and innuendo to the referee! !
"Mr. Liu Rui, Mr. Liu Rui, because of your insults and disrespect to the referee in this game, you may be fined by the league, and if it is more serious, you may be suspended. What do you want to say about this?"

"No, I respect the league's decision."

"Mr. Liu Rui, at the end of the game, you bowed deeply to your players. This is unprecedented in the history of the league. Coaches in the league will maintain their majesty and status in front of the players. What do you think about this?"

"I will apologize to my players for my mistakes. We are all people who love basketball. The difference is that they are playing and I am watching, so I respect them and they respect me."

"Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit, everyone's choice is different, so some people are destined not to be understood."

Just like Liu Rui, who finished the interview, only left behind a group of stunned reporters, some things are destined not to be understood in this life...
