When the game entered the fourth quarter, the Warriors took the lead and Sun Yi stepped up to take on the important task.

In order to win the game, the Warriors did not hesitate to expose their cards and implemented the misplaced roll call strategy formulated for Sun Yixin.

Through pick-and-rolls or screens, let Sun Yi face the opponent's weakest defensive player, and then Sun Yi can use a hundred ways to score.

If the opponent does not double-team, Sun Yi directly scores in isolation; if the opponent double-teams, Sun Yi distributes the ball to the outside to assist his teammates to score.

On the bench of the Numbers Team, head coach Doug Collins frowned and had a huge headache.

His on-the-spot command ability was insufficient, and he could not find a way to limit the Warriors' No. 9 scoring in a short period of time. He could only let the players step up their offense and seal the score.

But the Warriors were well prepared and did not let the two defensive black holes of Curry and Ellis stay on the court at the last moment, fielding the strongest defensive lineup.

The Digital Man team could not break through the Warriors' iron-clad defense and could only hand in the victory.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Digital People 94-88.

After the game, Sun Yi stepped forward to encourage Cousins, then refused interviews from media reporters and returned to the locker room under the escort of security personnel.

On the other side, Ellis is being interviewed by media reporters.

"Monta, why didn't you play at the last moment?" the reporter asked.

"I respect the coach's arrangement." Ellis replied.

In fact, he felt very uncomfortable. As the boss of the team, it was indeed very embarrassing to be unable to play at the last moment.

"I heard that there was a conflict in the Warriors locker room. Is it true?"

"It's nonsense. We are very united internally and there are no conflicts."

After Ellis finished his answer, he ignored the subsequent questions from the media reporters and squeezed through the crowd towards the players' tunnel.

It can be said that this post-game interview became the trigger for internal conflicts within the Warriors.

…

After defeating the Digital People, the Warriors defeated the Celtics and Suns and lost to the Bobcats.

Being able to defeat strong teams, but losing to weak teams that couldn't even make the playoffs, the Warriors' mysterious behavior is incomprehensible.

And during the game against the Bobcats, Sun Yi and Ellis had their first direct argument on the court.

Ellis became increasingly dissatisfied with the role defined by the team and wanted to regain possession of the ball. He was absent-minded and made consecutive mistakes in his movements, forcing Sun Yi to make a pass error.

The first time this happened, Sun Yi chose to forgive.

But there were only three things to do, and with the many things accumulated in the past, the conflict completely broke out.

When Nelson saw the scene on the court, he shook his head helplessly, knowing that Ellis would not be able to stay with the Warriors for long, and that everything he had done before was in vain.

After losing to the Bobcats, the Warriors' top brass held a meeting overnight to discuss how to solve the problem.

After discussion, we finally reached an agreement to immediately find a buyer for the transaction while Ellis still has trading value.

After the tone is set, arrange for Ellis to brush up the data in the next game to sell it at a good price.

The NBA only puts profits first, and there are so many people.

Ellis understood the meaning of the team's top management, and did not mess around, just brushing up the data as much as he wanted. After all, it was closely related to his next contract, and no one would have trouble with money.

In the next few games, Ellis killed everyone, averaging 26.1 points per game, playing at an All-Star level.

Ellis is back to his prime, but the Warriors only achieved a record of 4 wins and 4 losses.

After the Warriors' record dropped sharply, the fans who supported the Warriors knew that Ellis was a one-sided man and wanted to trade this guy away immediately.

This situation did not last long. A few days before the Christmas Day war, Jerry West finally found a buyer. After some discussions, the deal was officially concluded.

Originally, the Mosaics had little interest in Ellis, but Jerry West tried every means to bring in his old club, the Grizzlies, to complete a three-way deal.

The Warriors traded Monta Ellis to the Mosaics for Battier and the Grizzlies' 2012 first-round draft pick.

The Mosaic team sent Shane Battier and a 2011 second-round draft pick to get Thabeet, the second-placed draft pick in 2009.

The Grizzlies sent Thabeet and a 2012 first-round pick to acquire Ellis and the Mosaic's second-round pick.

Everyone is happy with this three-party transaction.

The Warriors sent away Ellis, a thorn in the side, to strengthen the defense; the Mosaic team bet on Thabeet's potential, hoping to cultivate the next Uncle Mu; the Grizzlies made up for the weakness of the offense.

Regarding this transaction, outside experts have different opinions. Most of them are not optimistic and gave the Warriors a C rating.

Just how good this deal is, only time will tell.

At this point, the Warriors have resolved their internal conflicts, and the players have returned to the game and are going all out to prepare for the upcoming Christmas Day game.
