"One last series." Hector motivated himself by wiping his sweat.

We're in the middle of the NBA season, so Hector only has a little time to devote himself to intensive weight training sessions like this. At best, twice a week.

Having rested enough, he repeated his last set of bench presses. It is one of the most practiced exercises but also one of the most poorly executed.

This is fine for Hector because its system precisely regulates the correct positioning.

Once finished, he puts away the weights and heads to the dumbbells.

His last exercise of the day is the dumbbell row. He performed 3 sets of 8 repetitions.

Of course, the system will correct its position to reduce the risk of injury as much as possible.

Hector glanced at the system seeing that his body was at its limit, and he came out satisfied with his training.

Since the Bagley affair, Hector has not taken part in the conflict. He doesn't have to manage his team's personal life. In his opinion, this dispute hides something more personal between Fox and Bagley.

Despite everything, he remained focused on his development and warned his girlfriend not to say anything about his feelings.

Hector is a hard worker, and the one with whom he has the most connection in the squad is Barnes, the first to have recognized and validated his attitude.

Barnes is a former Golden State Warriors player. He has already won an NBA title and knows guys like Hector are examples to follow, unlike Fox or Bagley.

He is, even if Hector doesn't think he's an example to follow. His work ethic and resentment in the field naturally place him in this position.

Barnes is like his mentor in the NBA world. His experience in a winning team and his ability to learn the ins and outs of the league. He was the No. 1 option on offense with the Dallas Mavericks after leaving Golden State, though he didn't perform as expected.

Even though he arrived in Sacramento this summer, he has a track record of influencing the team. No leader is a good leader without leadership. You need to know how to keep up before you can lead or help understand your team.

No one will elect a president who has never been a citizen, right? It's the same logic for leadership. You need to know what it's like to be a team member to lead a team to the top.

Hector knows he was never a top player in his previous life; he knows what it takes for a team to win. He has already won the Euroleague twice in his career, so he knows the signs of a team that could aspire to the title.

This is not the case in Sacramento. The players are on different lines of thought. Fox and Bagley are typical examples. Yes, both want to win but win in their way.

This would not have been a problem if the two players had a head coach with enough pedigree to calm them down despite their differences. But this is not true for Wharton, who knew the Shaq and Kobe era; he should have seen the premises.

And social media has inflamed the conflict. Bagley and Fox's relationship wasn't as hot, but relatives alike brushed it aside. Everyone wants to know what's best for the best interests of their loved ones.

Others are in it for the money. They know they won't win any titles right now, so they should raise as much money as possible. They don't care about group life as long as they get their money.

This often happens in poorly managed teams.

And after a losing streak, two wins in a row against Chicago and especially against Minnesota in overtime will rekindle a flame in this team.
