222: I'm not afraid of failure, not at all (Vote for monthly tickets!)_4

But he didn't want to play basketball with Roger; it was a burden he couldn't bear.

Perhaps some people liked having a leader like Roger, but Stevie Smith definitely wasn't one of them.

Last season, the only reason Stevie Smith endured it was because of Andy.

He didn't want to let down a child who saw him as a hero.

And now, as he said, it was all over.

He would not live that life anymore; he wanted to spend more time with his newborn child and family.

He wasn't the type to say, "I can die for victory"; he didn't want to carry such a heavy burden.

He knew Roger wouldn't let him escape because he was the team's second-highest scorer.

So, his only option was to leave.

"I am leaving, I've already requested a trade, but Pete said I should talk to you," Stevie Smith bluntly told Roger.

Roger was somewhat disappointed; he had thought his impact on Stevie Smith was everlasting.
