Chapter 4
Kyle was relaxing on his desk thinking about New York’s three game winning streak. “All because of me,” said Kyle to himself. He took out a bottle of wine and poured himself some. He was the happiest man in the world at that moment. Kyle decided to walk down to the stadium, to just check up on things.
When he got downstairs, he was watching D’Antoni setting up offensive drills for them to do. Kyle sat down and watched them go to work. He noticed that Gallinari was getting sloppy. Gallinari saw Kyle watching him do his drills and for some reason, went even slower and lost the ball on several occasions. “He ain’t getting anything playing like that,” Kyle thought to himself. Marion was doing great, doing the drills exactly how he was supposed to. Lee was doing OK but he still had a lot of room to improve.
The practise basketball game had started and Kyle had started to go back to his office and look into trades. “Bang!” was all Kyle heard while he was walking away and he turned around right away. Marbury was on the floor holding his head. Kyle ran up to Marbury. “What happened to you?” Kyle asked in shock. “The ball.... hit me in the head,” Marbury said weakly. When Kyle stood up, he saw D’Antoni giving Robinson a lecture. Kyle had already known what had happened, Nate must have launched the ball at Marbury, for what reason he didn’t know but he would find out.
When Nate was finished talking with D’Antoni, Kyle had told him to meet him in his office. They both sat down and Kyle wasn’t shy to say something first. “Why’d you do it,” Kyle said in a stern voice. “Do what?” Nate asked in a sarcastic tone. “Don’t you give me that bull, I’m not in the mood,” replied Kyle with his loud voice shaking the room. “I’ll ask you again, why’d you do it?” “I did it cause I was angry that some washed up troublemaker was getting more minutes than I did.” Nate replied “You have to choose, you want me on this team or him.”
When Nate left the office, Kyle held his head in frustration. Half an hour ago he was on the top of the world, now he’s back with a tough decision to make.
