"911? Yes, I need to report a case of breaking into a house..."
Wallace actually called the police. Aldon only felt that the water in the swimming pool had entered the stage of freezing ice, and his whole body suddenly became energetic. "AJ, hey, AJ, hang up the phone!" Aldon realized what was going on. It was out of control. If the police really came to intervene, things might get out of hand. He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be, but he knew that the consequences were definitely not what he wanted to see. He had to get the situation back under control now, "AJ, if I remember correctly, this is my house! Mine! Okay? I'm serious!"
Wallace could clearly feel Aldon's sternness and seriousness. The right hand holding the phone paused for a moment, and finally slowly put it down and hung up the phone, but his expression was not much better.
"Aldon, did you drink too much last night and now you have water in your head? You just let those idiots come into the house and point their fingers? You let them slander me and attack me unscrupulously, and then you don't dare to make a sound ?Also, you can't talk to me like this, understand? I'm warning you for the last time, you can never talk to me like this!" Wallace roared crazily.
"Not everything is about you!" Logan finally couldn't stand it anymore. That gentleman always focused all the conversation on him. It was clear that the protagonist today should be Aldon, but the topic went off the rails. Well, maybe, some people really believe that the universe revolves around them.
"Shut up!" Wallace yelled at Logan, but Logan's words still had an effect, and it was obvious that Wallace was getting more and more excited, "Aldon, do you think so too? ?This is your business, not mine? Huh? I thought we were a community! Your business is my business! But now you want to be independent? You want to draw a clear line? You want to tell me, What you have achieved today is all due to your efforts, your credit, and your hard work. It has nothing to do with me at all, right?"
Logan rolled his eyes and complained mercilessly, "Come on, soap operas don't have such bloody lines."
Wallace was also completely angry and roared at Logan, "I'm talking to Aldon! Where did you come from and force yourself to add drama?"
Logan's eyes widened, he made a face, and then muttered in a low voice, "God, does he have some misunderstanding about the definition of friendship? People who don't know think they are lovers instead of friends."
This was really not the best time to joke. Lu Ke glanced at Logan speechlessly. Logan shut his mouth honestly and just rolled his eyes again; but after Logan's interruption, Lu Ke's anger also disappeared. Gradually it calmed down, and there was even an urge to laugh: What the hell is this!
After enduring it again and again, Lu Ke couldn't hold it back and added in a low voice, "Don't question the pure friendship between black friends."
Lu Ke and Logan exchanged glances, and finally looked at Marcus. Marcus felt that he was innocent, spread his hands, looked at Lu Ke and Logan speechlessly, and said with his mouth, " Seriously?" Are you two live treasures serious? In this situation at this moment, you actually have the intention to joke? Are you serious?
Why is the atmosphere a little off?
The three people standing aside only exchanged a few glances and exchanged words, which did not cause much commotion. Neither Wallace nor Aldon were disturbed.
After Wallace finished yelling at Logan, he looked at Aldon again, "So, this is what you mean? Are you going to draw a clear line with me now? Then go to the broad road with your successful teammates and leave us Is this what you mean by abandoning all these friends who have shared weal and woe since childhood? You have now become an unattainable Super Bowl champion. For us, you are already too good, too high-class and too rich, is that right?"
"AJ..." Aldon tried to interrupt.
But Wallace didn't give him a chance. All the anger and resentment he had accumulated since last night burst out, "Don't try to change the subject! That's what you mean now! You put all the blame on me, right?" ?You blame everything on me, right? It's all AJ, it's all AJ, fine, when something bad happens, blame it all on AJ, that's the easiest thing, Just like the time when we were sixteen, no, fourteen, thirteen, ten, all of them, damn Alton Smith, I have been taking the blame for you my whole life, I can’t even count. Should I continue to memorize it now?"
"I'm not trying to stop your career! I'm just helping you! Aldon, I'm helping you! I'm the only person in the whole world who is steadfastly trying to help you, don't you know? I'm trying to make Relax! I'm trying to make you happy! You've been under too much pressure recently, from an accident to a nursing home and missing the starting lineup. I hope you can regain your form and become the man who kills everyone on the court again. ! I am the only one who cares about your career, not this group of well-dressed elites!"
"They think they can come here and point their fingers at how much they think they know about your career. All I can say is, get out of here! I'm the one who knows you best! How long have they known you? Years? Two years? Then they think they can understand every aspect of you? Then they come to me and tell me what is best for you? Fuck! Fuck their whole family! Fuck your whole team! I bet , they don’t even know when your birthday is!”
"I'm helping you? Do you understand? I'm the only one here trying to help you! You can't just put all the responsibility on me like this! It's not fair! Aldon, this is not the case. Fair! I am the hero! How can you treat your hero like this? Things should not be like this! This is not fair! I will kill you! I swear to Maria, I will kill you!"
Seeing the furious Wallace venting all his emotions heartily, Aldon felt his temples begin to beat, one after another, the pain was severe, "I know, I know, I know... I know!" The voice slowly rose from a whisper, and finally turned into a roar, "I know! AJ, shut up! Can you please be quiet for a while? I know everything! Now can you please shut up! Your roar makes me I have a headache! My head is going to explode!"
Aldon closed his eyes tightly, "I'm trying to clear my thoughts, but you're not making things easier." Aldon said with a face full of pain, "I can't think at all now, but you are making things change." It has to be more complicated, AJ, you are forcing me to make a choice! Friends or team! But the problem is..." He should not and does not need to make a choice.
"Yes, I'm forcing you to make a choice!" Wallace said aggressively, "Do you need my help or their help? It's that simple! Choose! Make your choice now! Or let them do it now Just get out of here, or I’ll go back and pack my bags now.”
Lu Ke was a little confused.
Can anyone give me a plot review of how things got to this point? Why are things going wrong? Such a dramatic painting style...is a bit strange.
Lu Ke has no interest in Al Dong's personal life. He doesn't care how Al Dong makes friends, nor how he handles interpersonal relationships, or even whether Al Dong can completely quit drinking. He is Al Dong's comrade-in-arms, not his father. He has no responsibility or obligation to give advice on Ardon's private life.
Lu Ke's only insistence is that Aldon can return to the team's daily training rhythm and not disrupt the training rhythm because of personal matters - including alcoholism. He can concentrate on training and tactical manuals , then the game state will take care of itself.
If a few drinks can help Aldon relax without affecting his training, then Lu Ke doesn't care at all. At least one thing Wallace was right about: Beer is not alcohol, just a drink. If alcohol has affected Aldon's training and even his daily life, then he must learn to control himself.
But today things seemed to be beyond control.
Wallace's sudden outburst was like a mad dog that sensed the alarm of a territory invasion. He went berserk and went berserk. Then they arrived at their current position. It seemed to be a life-and-death competitive relationship. The situation became more and more intense. It was tricky, and Lu Ke didn't know how to start.
The problem here is that Lu Ke and Wallace are not enemies, at least they shouldn't be enemies. He is just trying to help Aldon, so he and Wallace should be teammates, right?
Lu Ke didn't know or wanted to know the past between Aldon and Wallace. He didn't have any personal views on Wallace. He also knew clearly that the influence of some friends lasted throughout his life. It was not just about saying "goodbye". "You can make a clean break, so he will not ask Aldon to choose between his friends and the team.
He has no such power.
But...but what if Wallace is the reason Aldon can't get over alcohol?
Lu Ke felt like he was starting to have a headache.
It keeps getting messy after cutting things, who can tell him how things got to this point? How should he solve it?
Aldon looked at Wallace with shock in his eyes, "I can't believe you actually said this, you actually said this!"
"I can't believe it either." Logan muttered again, and Marcus pretended not to hear.
Wallace nodded, "Yes, I said it. Then, now it's your turn to make a choice."
Aldon just stared at Wallace blankly. After the shock, he became numb and sluggish. Then his eyes slowly turned to Lu Ke and his party standing next to him. Then he realized that he was in a dilemma. Among the stereotypes: friendship and career on the one hand, growing up on the other and teammates on the other. So, how should he choose?
Aldon's brain, which was like a ball of paste, began to ache again.
Look at Wallace.
Look at Lu Ke.
Look at Wallace again.
Look at Lu Ke again.
Still no answer.
