The world is big, there are no wonders, the beauty of the basket ups and downs for more than 70 years, but also left countless human anecdotes. Husbands and wives turned against each other, and the conspiracy led to a nine-year unsolved case; brothers went to the wall, four people went to sea and one person went ashore; Mang Han ran away, and the overseas gold panning evaporated. NBA three major unsolved cases, and listen to the stripping of the cocoon, slowly come.
The first time, Xiao Yong will retire to his hometown the people on the pillow will kill people for money
On July 19, 2010, a police officer in Memphis received an alarm call. Before the person on the other side could speak, the police officer heard several loud noises, and the phone was then disconnected.
On July 21, 2010, an elderly man reported the case to Memphis police, claiming that his son had been missing for several days. The police cooperated with the elderly to search for many days, and there was no news of the missing.
On July 29, 2010, a mutilated body was found in a forest outside Memphis. After examination, the deceased was the protagonist of the first two incidents. His name was Lorenzen-Wright.
Lorenzen Wright, former NBA star. Selected by the Clippers with the 7th pick in the first round in 1996, the NBA spent 14 years in his career, contributing to his hometown team, the Memphis Grizzlies, averaging 12 points and 9 rebounds per game in a single season. He retired from the NBA in 2009 and lives in Atlanta.
In July 2010, he planned to return to his hometown to attend his nephew's baptism, but unexpectedly let his life stay forever at the age of 34.
Wright is a local Memphis star, and the case is highly regarded in the local area. The police are actively investigating. The few clues point in two directions: First, Wright may have had a dispute with a local gang and subsequently suffered revenge. Because Wright's ex-wife, Sheila, claimed that gang members had come to the house with guns to find Wright. Police also discovered that Wright had sold the car to a gang member during his lifetime.
The second possibility is that his ex-wife Sheila planned and murdered Wright. The two were in a broken relationship, divorced for years, and Wright had long interrupted the $20,000-a-month alimony he had promised to pay his ex-wife.
But in either direction, there has been a delay in the substantive progress of the case. At that time, there were 89 murders in Memphis, and Wright's case gradually disappeared. This shelving is a full seven years.
On November 9, 2017, police inadvertently salvaged a pistol from Walnut Lake in the Mississippi River Basin during operation. After comparison, this is the murder weapon that killed Wright seven years ago. Following the pistol, the police arrested a landscape architect, Billy Turner. He had tended the greenery of the neighborhood where Wright's ex-wife, Sheila, and had worked in Sheila's church. Shunto touched the melon, and the police stared at Sheila.
Police investigations found that after Wright's murder, Sheila cashed out a $1 million insurance policy. The beneficiaries of the insurance are Wright and Shera's 6 children. But Sheila used insurance payments to make a number of extravagant purchases, including buying cars and luxury furniture, traveling to New York, and so on. Even more frightening is that Sheila also published a novel after Wright's murder, which is about an NBA star and his wife who resent each other and hurt each other.
Ten days after Billy Turner's arrest, the police arrested Sheila. But both denied killing Wright. The trial and hearing of the case took two years. In 2019, Billy Turner and Sheila finally confessed. Wright's NBA career total salary is as high as $55 million. But because the family was accustomed to extravagant days, they soon faced bankruptcy after retiring from the army. Sheila conspired with her boyfriend to murder her ex-husband for $1 million in insurance premiums.
Eventually, Billy Turner and Sheila were sentenced to up to 30 years in prison. The sensational Wright murder case has finally come to an end. At this time, Wright had been buried under the Memphis Cemetery for 9 years.
The second time, the reckless man sought to break the road to wealth and the treasure was gone forever
In his third career game, he had 42 points and 12 rebounds. In his second year of career, he averaged 29 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists per game. In his third year of career, he averaged 29 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists per game. Such a super scorer suddenly retired at the age of 28.
His name was John Briscoll, and the reason for his early retirement was simple and pure: grumpy! John almost became a professional boxer in college, and after switching to basketball, it was simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
In the 1972 season, home to the Salt Lake City Stars, John, who only scored 4 points at halftime, surged up and directly picked five. When the two teams met in the second leg, the Salt Lake City home team actually spent a lot of money to invite 5 professional boxers to escort the players.
The team management knew that according to his personality, the game could only be played at noon, because sooner or later there would be a fatality, so he set up such a strange rule: whenever John began to run wild, the first teammate who was not afraid of death rushed up and hugged him would receive a $100 prize.
In the barbaric aba, John can still walk sideways. But after jumping ship to the NBA, John tied his hands and feet under the rules. In particular, his immediate boss, named Bill Russell.
In 1973, The Lord of the Rings became general manager and head coach of the Supersonics. He won the championship 11 times, he ruled the army strictly, advocated defense, and naturally did not look at John who ran away without a word. In the 1974 season, after John blasted 47 points in a single game, Russell still sent him to the cold and sent him to the then NBA sub-league CBA. For the rest of the season, he never returned to the Supersonics.
The following season, John played only 21 games before being cut by the Supersonics. At this time, he was already notorious in the NBA, and no team was willing to take over. The 28-year-old John had no choice but to retire.
So far, John has only been a young and famous star who has been disappointed early. But after retiring, a decision completely changed his fate.
After retiring, John, like many players with little culture, quickly fell into a financial crisis. In his third year of retirement, he welcomed his second daughter. In order to support his family, he decided to go to Africa to pan for gold.
In the beginning, he would regularly talk to his family on the phone and send money back. But two months later, he made a phone call to his family in Seattle and has since disappeared completely. The family only knows that he is in the import and export business in Africa, but no one can say exactly what kind of things he has, let alone his specific address in Africa.
The police investigated, to no avail. The FBI shot and found nothing. For a time, countless versions of the legend were derived from the whereabouts of John. Some people say that he disappeared in order to escape the gangsters' pursuit, others said that he abandoned his wife and son to hide in the garden in order to live with Xiao San, and even some people speculated that he joined the evil "People's Temple" and ran to the town of Jones in Guyana, South America, to participate in the mass suicide.
Among them, the most logical version of the story comes from Hall of Fame superstar Spencer Heywood. He is not only John's teammate at supersonics, but also a small heart since childhood.
Heywood and several of John's teammates revealed that John was lured by a high salary to join a mercenary in Uganda and met Ugandan dictator Edie Amin in the barracks. Both are dual enthusiasts of basketball and boxing, and they are the same at first sight. So John stayed with Amin and played an exhibition game for him.
But as the old saying goes, a companion is like a companion of a tiger, not to mention Amin's explosive temperament, one of the "three tyrants of Africa", because of some indescribable experience is called "ogre". At a party, the two looked at each other angrily without a word, and Amin pulled out his pistol without saying a word, and calmed the dispute in the most cruel way.
Seven years after John's disappearance, the medical examiner's office in King County, Washington, announced his death as a way to help his family inherit the inheritance. On the legal level, John's life ended here. But to this day, there is still only a cloud of doubt about his story.
The third time, the literary and artistic people wandered the house in the future, and the immortal soul broke the sea
Remember Larry Sanders? That wayward genius, in order to pursue his artistic dreams, gave up the $22 million that countless social animals could not earn in ten lifetimes and retired from the NBA.
In the long history of the NBA, Sanders' reason for retirement can only rank second in romance.
Bissen Delle, formerly known as Brian Williams, played the NBA for 8 years and earned less than $20 million. Subsequently, he abandoned the remaining $36.45 million from the contract and retired from the NBA. For he seeks the true meaning of life, and he wants to return his freedom to his soul.
Bissen-Delek was a romantic young man, but on the pitch, he was also a well-known iron-blooded tough guy. In the 1993-1994 season, Dreler averaged 7.9 points and 4.7 rebounds as a backup center for the Nuggets.
At the end of the regular season, the Nuggets entered the playoffs as eighth in the West. Facing the supersonics of the league with 63 wins in the first round of the Western Conference, the Nuggets played the first black eight miracle in NBA history. Among them, the Nuggets won 98-94 in overtime. In that game, Dreler became the Nuggets' number one wizard, playing 34 minutes off the bench, shooting 5 of 8, 7 of 10 free throws, scoring 17 points and a game-high 19 rebounds.
In addition to the black eight, another important honor in Dreux's career is the championship. In the 1996–1997 season, he helped the Bulls win their fifth championship in franchise history. Throughout the playoffs, he averaged 6.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1 block per game.
After winning the title, Dreux switched to the Pistons. In the 1998 season, he played in 78 regular season games, starting all of them, averaging 16.2 points, 8.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. After playing his eighth season in his career, Deller decided to give up basketball early and enjoy life. While the $36.45 million he gave up was tempting, the money he earned in eight seasons was enough for the rest of his life.
If he hadn't chosen to go to sea at the age of 33...
On July 6, 2002, after retiring for three years, Dreler planned to travel to sea with his girlfriend. Before leaving, his brother Kevin Williams also offered to go with him. So, the owner of the yacht, Bissen-Dreer, Delek's girlfriend Sarana Karan, Delek's brother Kevin Williams, and captain Bertrand Seldow, set out from Tahiti in the South Pacific and set sail.
At first, both Delek and Sarana Karan were in contact with their families, but as they went deep into the sea, the yacht was quickly lost.
The loss of yacht navigation is not too strange. But strangely enough, two weeks later, on July 20, 2002, when the yacht returned to Tahiti, only Kevin Williams landed.
Delek and the other three went missing, which quickly attracted a police investigation. The case is also very clear - Kevin Williams is very suspicious of killing the other three people on the yacht.
When Kevin Williams was arrested by police, he was using Dreer's passport and forging Drey's signature in an attempt to transfer $152,000 to his name.
After his arrest, Kevin Williams denied that he was an intentional killer. He argued that he had a fight with his brother on the boat. The younger brother's girlfriend, Karan, fell in a shoving and shoving and suffered severe head injuries. Then Delek was going to avenge himself. To protect himself, Kevin Williams had no choice but to shoot Dreux.
This claim was not confirmed because Kevin Williams died shortly after his arrest. He fell unconscious from an overdose and subsequently gasped in the hospital. The only suspect was killed, and there was no breakthrough in the case. To this day, this is still an open case. The fates of Bissen-Delek, Sarana-Karan and Bertrand Seldow seem to have disappeared forever in the endless waves.
