I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 195 Adjusting Internal Contradictions
After defeating the Suns, the Warriors coaching team immediately worked overtime and held meetings overnight, trying to discuss a solution.

At this stage, the Warriors' lineup is still very good, and they have not reached the point of trading.

If Ellis can be persuaded and a way to balance is found, then the strength of the Warriors will go further.

After some discussion, the coaching staff decided to talk to Sun Yi, Curry and Ellis respectively, hoping to hear their thoughts and then make future plans.

The next day, head coach Nelson Sr. first called Monta Ellis to the office for communication.

"Monta, you should know the reason why I came to you, let me tell you what you think." Old Nelson said first.

"Coach, I feel that my position in the team has been challenged, and the team's style of play has affected my interests." Ellis said firmly.

"Then how should the team play?" Old Nelson asked rhetorically.

"The team should formulate tactics around me, give me a lot of possessions, and I will bring the team to victory." Ellis said confidently.

"We have tried it before, but it doesn't help us win. I can't satisfy your suggestion."

After old Nelson rejected Ellis, he began to paint big pies.

"Our goal this season is to take another step forward, and that requires everyone to work together and make some necessary sacrifices."

"Monta, you have worked hard in the league for so many years, but you have received very few honors. This will have a great impact on your status in the league. Don't you want to be compared with Kobe?"

Seeing Ellis's expression, the old Nelson felt that there was a joke in his heart, and continued: "For our common goal, you should make some changes, and you should do this in the next game..."

When Ellis heard that Old Nelson let him play without the ball, he was extremely entangled in his heart, and would not be able to make a decision for a while.

Nelson saw Ellis' difficulty and said, "I guarantee you are still the core of the Warriors, and this will never change."

After hearing this, Xiao Gongju pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement.

After getting rid of Ellis, Nelson came to talk to Curry.

Curry learned of the coaching staff's next tactical adjustments, saying that he could make sacrifices and keep playing off the ball.

He learned in college to be patient and not to rush into the position.

Old Nelson felt that Curry was very sensible, so he reassured him and told him not to take it to heart, and he could fight as he did before.

After giving Curry a reassurance, Old Nelson approached Sun Yi for an exchange.

"Coach, this is not something I should consider. I just need to do what I should do. The core players are not important to me." Sun Yi replied truthfully.

"Sun, don't think too much, I just want to hear your opinion." Old Nelson said with a smile.

He is very satisfied with the attitudes of Sun Yi and Curry. In fact, as long as Ellis is dealt with, the internal conflicts in the team will be resolved.

After some friendly exchanges, Old Nelson issued an order to evict Sun Yi and sent Sun Yi to continue training.

This tripartite conversation was very successful. On the surface, the internal conflicts within the team were resolved, but the specific situation after that remains to be tested by time.

……

……

On November 11, the Warriors came to Chicago to challenge the Bulls away.

At this stage, the Bulls have started with 4 wins and 0 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference, and their strength should not be underestimated.

The Bulls were able to make such a good start thanks to their signings during the offseason.

Not only invited Tom Thibodeau as the head coach, but also signed Carlos Boozer in the free market, which greatly improved the strength of the Bulls.

This game can be described as a strong duel, testing the strength of both sides, so both teams are bound to win.

After the entrance ceremony, the game started quickly, and the referee signaled the starting players of both sides to come on.

The starting lineup sent by the Bulls is: Rose, Keith - Bogans, Luol - Deng, Boozer, Noah.

The starting lineup sent by the Warriors is: Curry, Ellis, Sun Yi, David Lee, Chandler.

In the jump ball session, Noah roared and took off vigorously. He was the first to touch the basketball and turned back to the backcourt, giving the Bulls a chance to make the first attack.

Rose quickly moved forward after receiving the pass.

Curry stood at the top of the arc, waiting for Rose to arrive.

However, if you want to guard against the peak "Rose", even if the primary school students are active in defense, it will be useless.

At this point, the Warriors coaching staff has long thought of a defensive strategy.

In the high position area on the right, Sun Yi took a few steps back to prepare for the double-teaming in advance.

After Rose came beyond the three-point line, he observed the position of his teammates and immediately passed the ball.

Luol Deng, who was standing at a 45° angle outside the right three-point line, received the pass and jumped directly to shoot.

At this moment, Sun Yi, who came quickly, rushed forward and stretched out his arms to interfere.

Clap!
Sun Yi slapped the basketball that Luol Deng just shot, and flew straight towards it.

After Sun Yi landed, he jumped up to grab the basketball in the air, and then ran towards the frontcourt.

At the same time, the Bulls players hadn't reacted yet and failed to retreat back immediately.

At halftime for the Bulls, Sun Yi saw that there were no pursuers behind him, so he ran beyond the three-point line and took off directly to shoot.

For this kind of unguarded three-pointer, Sun Yi is still a little bit sure.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

3: 0!

The ball transitions and the Bulls attack.

After receiving the serve from the baseline, Rose quickly dribbled toward the frontcourt.

Other Bulls players quickly followed up and ran according to the tactics.

The Warriors' players retreated quickly and returned to their respective defensive areas.

Rose dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, passed Curry without slowing down, and quickly rushed into the three-point line.

Seeing this situation, Sun Yi immediately retreated into the penalty area to clean up the mess for Curry.

At the same time, Chandler was already prepared, quickly rushed back to the basket to occupy a favorable position, and raised his arms to interfere.

Ross, who was traveling at high speed, did not stop when he saw this. He jumped directly into the air towards Chandler and made a lever movement in the air to attract the defensive attention of Sun Yi and Chandler who were chasing him, and knocked the ball away from him. Passed out through the cracks.

Outside the three-second zone on the right, Noah received the ball and passed it, and immediately flew to the basket and scored.

3: 2!

Seeing this scene, Sun Yi couldn't understand what Ross was thinking.

Obviously there is a good opportunity to pass the ball during the march, but this guy Rose has to challenge the difficult pass, which is a waste of energy and prone to mistakes.

Without thinking too much, Sun Yi quickly turned around and rushed towards the front court.

Curry received the serve, quickly dribbled toward the frontcourt, and came outside the three-point line to organize the offense.

Seeing that Ellis was actively running without the ball, Sun Yi immediately stepped forward and made an off-ball screen.

Xiao Gongju bypassed the screen and ran to the mid-range area on the left, received a pass from Curry, and made a mid-range jumper.

After the goal, Ellis was not happy.

Although this style of play is extremely efficient, it is not the way he wants to score, and he still has some lumps in his heart.

The Bulls served quickly, and Rose dribbled the ball quickly to initiate a defensive counterattack.

Curry quickly retreated to his defensive area, waiting for Rose's arrival.

Rose dribbles quickly to the top of the arc, doesn't slow down, and rips his knees to change direction.

It was difficult for Curry to keep up with Rose's change of direction without slowing down, and was passed again.

Seeing this situation, Noah entangled with Chandler to create opportunities for Rose.

After rushing into the penalty area like lightning, Rose jumped high with one foot and showed off a dunk with both hands folded.

5: 4!

The pot exploded in the United Center arena in an instant, and deafening cheers and shouts came and went!
