It was an ordinary time of the day. Time was running its course, and humanity suffered heavy damage from the coronavirus. But the world does not shine as brightly for Hector as today.
Belinda hid something from Hector, but he didn't know what it was.
Hector was returning from a daily meditation session, saw Belinda watching TV, and joined his girlfriend. They were watching a Donald Trump speech and discussing everything and nothing when suddenly Belinda said, "Honey, you're going to be a father," casually as if it were a joke.
Hector didn't think it was true and replied, "Yeah, yeah." As disinviting and disinterested as she is, she is not taking her statement seriously.
"No, you're going to be a father," Belinda insisted in a confident tone.
Hector could no longer ignore the situation. Shock. Then comes the euphoria. Crazy with joy, he rushed to the mother of his future children and enjoyed this short joyful moment.
The birth is scheduled for October and will not impact Belinda when the next season starts, but she will miss the rest of the season if it resumes. Tara could not be disappointed with the birth of a child and wishes good luck for this happy event.
Of course, Hector and Belinda's families and teammates sent their congratulations. Speaking of teammates, there's a movement among the Kings.
Patrick Willis was removed from his position. Raj finally pulled out the gun.
Hector is sad because the GM drafted him first and foremost and had a good relationship with him but nothing more. Nevertheless, he wished her good luck and good continuation.
So the noose is tightening on Wharton; honestly, Hector thinks he will only last for a while. The atmosphere in the dressing room was hostile before the stoppage.
The goal of every player by signing a contract more than money is to feel at home. People need to realize between going to play in a place to please the audience or you're going to play. The house is not a place. It is not because you bought a house that it is your home. If someone moves in with you and you feel uncomfortable, you are not home.
And from what he sees, only DeAaron and Harrison consider Sacramento their home. Most don't look the institution of the Sacramento Kings in the eye.
In his opinion, Luke will not be able to rekindle the flame because the players do not have a common goal. Nor the management, for that matter. Too much ego and geopolitical warfare in the team for it to go well. It shows on and off the field.
In the offices, a war of influence satisfies the leaders, and on the field, the lack of management and real leaders of locker rooms and the lack of stability in the squad. Hector is among the few players to get along with the entire dressing room and the leaders because he is not someone's pawn despite his connections.
Hector is influential in the dressing room. He knows it but pretends not to see anything especially. Despite his rookie status, he is one of the voices of wisdom among his teammates and a conflict peacemaker. The dressing room would have disowned Bagley long ago if he and Barnes weren't there.
Bagley is almost isolated in the dressing room. Willis' departure almost sounds like the death knell for him because Willis had agreed to draft Hector to allow him to focus on offense and capitalize on his offensive potential. But the wounds decided otherwise, and so did the conflicts.
Time goes on, Hector continues his training, and finally comes the voice of the NBA's Holy Bible, Adam Silver.
(PS: I will let you participate in the decision of the future Kings coach. I have three choices in mind. Please comment on what is written in the thoughts. It's not immediate, but I would like to prepare the ground in advance )
